His dinghy was in full view.

A naked, unhinged man jumped into a small dinghy at a Manhattan marina Saturday and took off in the Hudson River before jumping onto a moored catamaran as cops pursued him by air and water, police said.

The very fit looking 40-year-old Brooklyn man hopped into the smaller, dinghy sailboat at the Dykman Street Marina around noon after employees there kicked him out because he was acting erratically, cops said.

The nautical loon was fully clothed at the time, but then returned completely naked a few minutes later, police said.

Before the employees could stop him, he allegedly jumped into the dinghy and sailed out into the river, cops said.

But the NYPD’s Aviation and Harbor Units were quickly notified and went looking for him, cops said.

The seafaring kook then sailed that boat to the larger, anchored catamaran sailboat and climbed on board, police said.

“He jumps from one boat to the other,” a law enforcement source said. 

Police from the Harbor Unit made their way to the catamaran and climbed on board too, arresting the man, cops said.

The man, whose identity wasn’t released, was taken to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for treatment, police said.

He was believed to be on methamphetamines, a police source said.
