We recently had the pleasure of staying (again) at Safe Harbor Capri, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The marina is beautifully maintained, with modern facilities and stunning views of Manhasset Bay. The floating docks are in excellent condition, making it easy to dock our boat. We enjoyed a fantastic meal at the waterfront restaurant, where the food was delicious and the service was top-notch. The pool area was a perfect spot to relax and cool off after a day on the water. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional service provided by the marina team. They were always available to assist with any needs, and their expertise and friendliness made our visit even more enjoyable. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to nearby amenities and attractions. Overall, Safe Harbor Capri always exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality marina experience!
Where to start… First, the marina is backing up to Main Street with no privacy. Second, there are no fingers, you have to use a ladder to get in and out. There are no amenities except fuel dock which is small and have no high speed pumps (plan to wait or be there a long time). The staff is made od young kids , not sure how much boating experience they have, but they are less than helpful, unless you get the right person to help. The boat is tied to the poles on the front, while there are cleats in the back. Power and water is Ok. There are no private bathrooms or showers. There is a public one which is quite dirty. We observed drug dealings in front of the public bathrooms after sunset, which you would not want to have your kids around in the area regardless of time of day. If there is a negative star or no star rating, I would have used it. For the price they charge it is not worth it at all, I will not be coming back and if you consider it think twice. I have stayed in many marinas, this one is clearly one of the worst one ever. Run run run as fast as you can.
This is a great spot to stay in. The facilities are large and very clean. The staff is very nice and helpful. We got some work done while we were staying, and the technical staff, Tom and Paul were extremely helpful to make it seamless and easy. Very much recommend for a place to stop and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and plenty of good restaurants nearby.
Great time at the water club. The staff are very caring and accommodating The Windamere restaurant was actually much better than we would envisage, but limited option yet good food. Had The lobster roll special which was a great bargain. Definitely worth visiting it watch out the inlet during the low tides! And enjoy. 😊
The marina is in a great location, center of downtowm with lots of eateries, and lots to do. The dockmaster is very nice, and accommodating. We needed to stay another day due to weather and they were able to work withus on the accommodation. The facilities are nice and decks are kept in a reasonable goot shape. Like most of marinas in Newport, they are on the expansive side...
Good, enjoyable, lot's to do, near the town -- all that you would hope for a marina. Very nice and helpful staff. Carefully follow the channel to get there. The information and communication was superb by the marina staff , well done!. We had all the info around bridge openings, eatry places way before we arrived.
Very nice, spacious, friendly marina with a yacht center to visit. A care should be taken in approaching the marina as some areas have shallow water. I needed a seal and parts department was very helpful in every way to help solve the problem. There is a nice restaurant on site with great mud slides, though our food was a bit too salty. Recommend you a stay and try the amenities on site
Well maintained marina on an island. There is a shuttle service to mainland as required which makes it very accessible. There is a restaurant, Sirens, on the ground with American cuisine. Few restaurants on the mainland, but limited -- great place to spend time but be wary of the debris and tree branches on the river post rain storm.
Our spot was a bit distant from the boatyard. but large and safe. Did have a challenge to get the mooring line picked up as the pickup stick is way too low for 55" boat (v55) and the line is too short. The boatyard was quick to help in assisting. Suggest make the bigger vessel spots easier to moor, otherwise good service and nice quaint town.
Had a great time at the marina. It is clean, well attended and well managed. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay, and our location was easily accommodated our size boat which is not always easy. It is quite and quaint location. The food at the Fresh Salt restaurant was quite good, with ample selections of seafood. The views from the marina, and sunset is worth the visit alone. We needed fuel before our returm to lower CT, and the support at the fuel deck was awesome, and the fuel prices were very reasonable Hope to see you guys again next season.
Overall I give them average for value. The mooring is expensive and you have to pay for the launch boat per person each way which they do not adequately disclose. However, the area have many things to do, though some shops close early, between 5-6. May be next time will go by land?
Great, friendly and helpful staff, nearby to downtown, less than 2 miles. Nice sea food restaurant, Billys by the bay, on the yard with music and great food. Walking distance to sister Marina SH Stirling that accommodates bigger boats. Overall great experience, highly recommend
Small marina, mostly intended for transient boats requiring mooring. The are some slip for boats, docked at the main deck. Recently redone and looks much much better. Very helpful staff, and very nice/friendly commodore. Convenient to the down town PJ shops / restaurants, and friend club members. We recently stayed in their mooring and it was quite nice. If you are going to be in Port J, highly recommend that to give them a try.
Courteous, friendly staff. Good price for a overnight stay. Shortened launch hrs after Labor day, be bit later during the weekend will work better.
