Well kept docks and amenities, friendly neighbors and interesting seafood shack on the premises. Not so close to other eateries. We were there again August 2023 and we had a fabulous time, friendly, attentive, helpful, courteous staff. Marina is well kept, one of the best Safe Harbor marinas we have been to for awhile. Definitely worth a visit!
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.
