Second or third time at this marina, and it’s always a pleasure. Very responsive and professional dock staff. Great location! I didn’t need any of the facilities so can’t comment on that but I did get a passing glimpse of the laundry room which seemed large, modern and clean. When in Newport, this is where we stay!
We stayed here for a wedding that was being held in town after our original lodging plans fell through (staying on the boat is always better anyways!). Paula from the HM office was very helpful and accommodating. The main docks were full due to a fishing event but she was able to put us on their auxiliary location (a bulkhead pier adjacent to the Tides Motel) that had electric and water. It was a great spot being able to see all the local boats come and go. Wake was never an issue and it was pretty busy during the day. Will absolutely be coming back!!
Stayed on a mooring - was at the far end of their mooring field. Super friendly staff, and there were no issues with wake traffic even during peak afternoon/evening hours. I was very surprised at how calm the harbor was, and how well everyone seemed to abide by the no-wake policy. Would 100% come back again. Great stay!
Just stopped here overnight mid-trip. VERY helpful and friendly harbormaster team. They sent a RIB out to show us our mooring without even being asked to. The facilities look brand spankin’ new, though we didn’t go inside at all. One comment I would make is that you’ll want to close your hatch. There are a LOT of lobster boats here and they’re anll very active at 4am (which is typical, as we all know). Surprisingly the only issue was noise - there were zero wakes. They’re working and so no complaints on that - just a note to consider keeping your hatches closed for sleeping. Will 100% come back, and next time will stay longer. Beautiful area and very friendly locals!
July 2017 Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent facilities, and a phenomenal location. It’s the full package and made for a great stay.. We will absolutely be coming back again!! Update August 2024: Still the best marina we've stayed at, hands down. This year we were hosting and did a day trip - decided to grab a mooring to walk around town. We ended up sleeping on it. Much to our surprise, it was a great sleep. We were impressed and very surprised at how calm it gets overnight, especially considering how rocky it can be during the day!
We had an excellent experience here. The marina staff were very friendly, facilities were clean, and there are TON of amenities right off the marina including grocery, restaurants/bars, etc. We will absolutely stay here again!
Outstanding facilities (both in terms of being updated and CLEAN) and a very friendly staff. The Marina itself is situated a little outside of town but there is a shuttle that runs every hour. Also there is a restaurant on site and lots of green/ picnic areas throughout the grounds to stretch your legs. For the price, I’d say that this is the highest value marina that we’ve stayed at to date.
