Peekskill Seaplane Base

The specific reason for closure is not officially documented. As a small, privately owned facility, its closure was most likely due to economic factors, the owner deciding to cease operations for personal reasons, or evolving land-use priorities for the valuable Hudson River waterfront property.

The former site of the seaplane base has been completely redeveloped. The coordinates point to the waterfront area of Charles Point, which is now occupied by Charles Point Park, the Charles Point Marina, and a large recreational/commercial complex that includes The Factoria at Charles Point (an event space, restaurant, and brewery). There is no remaining infrastructure or visible evidence of its past use as a seaplane base.

Peekskill Seaplane Base was a private-use facility located on the Hudson River at Charles Point. It was operated by 'Mid-Hudson Seaplane Base, Inc.' and managed by Robert McInerney. The base was active from at least the mid-1960s through the late 1970s. It provided a ramp and a designated water landing area for general aviation seaplanes and floatplanes, serving private pilots and offering a unique aviation access point to the Hudson Valley. It was a small but notable part of the local aviation community for over a decade.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Peekskill Seaplane Base. The extensive commercial and recreational redevelopment of the site makes a return to aviation operations at this specific location highly improbable.
