Pirate's cove is the greatest. It's VERY clean, VERY quiet, EXTREMELY professional and an OUTSTANDING place to keep your boat. Paul, Patty and Taylor take pride in their marina and it shows with the service they offer. We were at a marina on Oneida Lake for years but the river is a completely different, relaxing, experience. The weekend entrainment at the Docks is always relaxing when docking and a great way to end the day. I couldn't ask for a better boating experience. read more

I have a Mercruiser powered boat with a stalling problem. There was a Mercury sticker on the door but it turns out they're not an authorized dealer. Paul White the owner insisted that he had vast experience and could fix it. Charged me $700 for the "fix". I got the boat back and it ran poorly with zero improvement. Refused to make any adjustments to the bill. read more

Just returned from a Fantastic Labor Day weekend boat trip at Pirates Cove Marina. Patti & Paul White could NOT be the nicest and kindest hostess & host. Their facilities are second to none and extremely clean. Bathrooms and showers are modern, prices are reasonable. They are a full service marina with swimming pool and restaurant. Very pet friendly as well. Their staff is also great. We had several boats from the East End of Oneida Lake and we have returned several times back to PCove and plan to return again in 2018. I would highly recommend a boat trip to spend an overnight or more while traveling on the NYS barge canal. Look for Red Buoy #200 on the Oneida River and you are in heaven! read more

Paul and Patti White exhibit great pride and love for their marina. As it is shown in the exemplary care given to the grounds, the faculties and to each and every boat owner that stays or drops by. The homey feeling that is felt once you enter the driveway or the waterway of this marina stays with you until you leave. The amenities are a plus if you see something that you think should be offered -- suggestions are gladly accepted and researched by Patti and Paul. We choose this marina for our summers before we purchased our boat. It has everything that is needed or wanted at a marina. Paul and Patti and their staff always greet you with a smile, they are knowledgeable about all boats and have a mechanic on the grounds. Your greeted with a big smile and open arms at the dock upon arrival (if you call ahead to let them know your stopping) it is a very friendly,caring, boating atmosphere with an extended family feel at pirates cove. Stop by you gonna love it!! My husband and got married on our boat at the marina last year it was awesome and epic . Patti and some boat owners surprised us by decorating the dock it was beautiful and truly heartfelt. It meant the world to us. Thank you Pirates Cove for making each and everyday special read more

See all

We loved this place. Friendly, relaxed. Plenty of shade trees and lawn. Seasonal renters can bring a picnic table, umbrella and rocking chairs. Transient boaters enjoy a fun little office shop with t-shirts, ice cold drinks, chips and candy, and marine products including slightly-used fenders for sale. Super clean bathrooms, showers and laundromat. Handy bar and grill just up the hill. And the welcome goodie bag includes cotton potholders. The knitter asks that you send her a line telling where in the world her potholders fetch up. It'll be fun. read more

We have been coming to Pirate's Cove Marina for many years. I cannot think of a more family oriented marina. They have a pool and a play area for kids. Life long owners Paul and Patti are wonderful, friendly people who do everything they can to help people enjoy their stay. I had to ask them about the breast feeding reviews on Yelp. Patti explained that it was a very hot day, the sun was beating down on everyone with a risk of sunburn very real. Thinking she was being helpful she offered a baby blanket. Patti clearly loves kids and hated to see the mother or infant get sunburned. I wasn't there but knowing Patti I believe she was only trying to help and perhaps she thought the mother would appreciate the blanket for a little privacy. I did not pursue the matter further as I believe this was an unfortunate misunderstanding of good intentions. This is a wonderful place to come to stay with your boat or just to spend the afternoon at the restaurant and pool. The grounds are very nicely kept and kids can enjoy walking and playing around the marina. In addition, Paul and Taylor are are extremely knowledgeable and honest mechanics. We are from Ohio and when we travel through the Erie Canal we make a point of getting any needed work completed here. Stop in and come to your own conclusions and I believe you will keep returning as we do. read more
