Quiet, ā€œOld Styleā€ boat yard, directly across from the bustle of Newport. Exposed in a Nortb breeze, and some boat wakes. Amenities minimal, but not too far from town.

Well-protected but shallow. 3 commercial marinas: One corrupt (managed by harbormaster), one incompetent (drops classic yachts, dismasts boats with free-swinging crane) and one very pricey. No rental moorings, no anchorage on more than 2ā€™ depth. Hazards include free-ranging derelict municipal floats.

Nice place, convenient friendly. Yes, the outer moorings are a bit rolly.

For location and ambiance, five stars! Amazing place! Lovely town(s), great restaurants, Welcoming spectators as we passed through the drawbridges. Hospitality and facilities -not so much, for our pre-season visit. Cantankerous bridge operators. No showers, no laundry, no pump out (closest is a two hour round trip away!). No warm water in the nearby restroom. Ice wasnā€™t on site, but our host tracked it down for us, much appreciated. Great place to visit, but we didnā€™t find basic cruising services.

Marina Response:
Curtis, Glad you enjoyed our location and ambiance during your early season stay. We will have a brand new shower, boaters lounge, and laundry available for Memorial Day. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this new facility not being ready for early season visitors. I hope you will come back soon to see the new boater amenities.

Pricey, a bit of traffic noise, long walk from transient dock to facilities. Restaurant onsite is nice, dock staff helpful. Location perfect for a run up the bay.

Location, Location, Location. Pricey by marina standards, with very limited amenities (shower and facilities open during business hours, but public restrooms - maybe 24 hour - are close by). Dock crew is helpful and proactive. Sited in a vibrant noisy modern urban park, just under the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Fabulous restaurants nearby, and presumably everything else a bustling trendy downtown can offer. 10 minute walk to Court St/Borough Hall subway station, or a pleasant walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. On the water, have your Eldridge current charts handy for a tour of the harbor, or a fast run up the East River. Commercial traffic outside the marina can be overwhelming on weekdays. Did I mention LOCATION? Multi-million dollar views!

Harbormaster helpful and responsive, for last minute request on a busy weekend. This is a tiny busy noisy harbor, consider an outside mooring for privacy.

VH village is a bit of a madhouse in August, but otherwise perfect!
