Kaaterskill is a steamboat that transports students from Hoboken Terminal to Plattekill Landing at the beginning and end of term for Kaaterskill Academy of Magic. In appearance Kaaterskill is similar to Hudson River steamboats of the early 20th century. The ship features 3 large passenger decks, interior cabins and a few staterooms, a private cabin for proctors, a full service restaurant and a cafe. Kaaterskill is invisible to Muggles; it has the ability to temporarily rearrange space to avoid collisions - Muggle navigation seems to jump out of the way of the steamboat.
