The location could not be better, and the docks are great. But, the assistance when we arrived was minimal. They were there to direct us (good thing since you can’t see dock numbers from the water), and they did grab our stern lines as we backed in. Once the stern lines were down though, they were gone… no directions on facilities (garbage, bathrooms, etc), and no help in getting power hooked up. While we can handle this on our own, and there was an email with some info on the facilities, the help was a little underwhelming. Also, I think the docks should be secured with a locked gate to keep non-customers out. Still, we had a great time while there!
We had a fantastic stay at the Stonington Yacht Club! The staff was super friendly and helpful (thank you Isabella and Christine!) and the facility was beautiful. We loved the town as well. We will be back!
This was the 3rd year in a row visiting Safe Harbor Wentworth Marina, and it just gets better every year. The marina is well staffed and impeccably maintained. The availability of courtesy cars is a huge perk for us, allowing us to visit beautiful Portsmouth and surrounding areas. The on-site restaurants are so convenient and really good (we especially enjoy Latitudes). The beautiful location is hard to beat for views from the boat! Fantastic marina!
This was a return trip for us, and it does not disappoint. Nate was there to happily greet us, get us situated, and make sure all was good before he left for the day. Kim is just the best! She can’t do enough for you, and makes us feel like family. We love the small marina feel, where you get to know your neighbors and everyone is so pleasant. We will be back… thank you Kim and team for making our stay so perfect!
Our second visit to Chicks, and as usual, the facility and service here is top notch. We can’t say enough about the friendly crew here: Amy, Chris (awesome tour once again!), Tyler, Colby (sorry, forgot third dock hands name!), and Rudder. Thank you all again for making our stay so comfortable and fun! See you next year!
We’ve been coming here by boat for well over 20 years, and we never tire of it. I’m s still our #1 place to visit! This time of year is so very different, yet still so very special. Perfect weather and perfect mooring location (#1, a first for us)! Sad to see the season ending, but enjoying what’s left in our favorite place!
Great town marina located steps away from beautiful downtown Newburyport. The staff were all very friendly and helpful (shout out to Lydia and Maryann!), and the facilities were very nice (with free use of washers & dryers!). We will be back!
Fantastic location and staff! The only negative that I can see is the rolly nature of the location, probably due to the ferries. But, we will be back!
Great staff! We really appreciated their attentiveness and flexibility. We got a late start on the day of checkin. They preemptively called to confirm our plans and pass on our assignment. On departure, they allowed us to stay a few extra hours on the mooring to allow a better weather window for our transit. Great place!
Great marina, great town! We prefer peaceful, quiet settings, and Safe Harbor Wickford Cove hit the target perfectly. While we don’t use the bathroom facilities, these looked to be spotless and really well equipped. Great location close to town as well. Overall great experience. We’ll be back!
Disappointed is the word that comes to mind. The facility and staff are great, but if you are looking for the quaint Maine scene, this is not the place! Our view the entire time was of two different Mega Yachts. Proximity to Old Port is a big plus, but I’ll take a small, quaint town anytime over this. Also inconsistent internet service was frustrating! Not impressed!
Great location… close to the city, but still quiet and relaxing. Staff were all great as well. Fantastic marina. We will be returning!
What a fabulous 3 days we had at Mystic Seaport Museum! From our spot next to the Amistad, we had a front row seat to all the activities at the museum. The staff at the museum were all very friendly and provided top notch service. Access to downtown Mystic and its restaurants and shops was a very easy and pleasant stroll. Plenty to do and see at the museum; the exhibits and associated staff were incredibly knowledgable and personable. If you sail, take advantage of the incredibly reasonable ($15/hr) cat boat rentals and take a cruise up the river to the highway bridge... well worth it! All in all, we highly recommend a visit here. I know we will be returning!
