Great visit. Easy on to a floating dock. Good help with lines. WiFi service was consistent with a good signal. Good parking for guests visiting.

Great help from dock staff and a perfect location. A little shallow getting to the dock, but all good. Enjoyed the steamed shrimp in the restaurant.

Another great visit at South Jersey Marina. They were able to shift us one day later due to a weather related delay. Great help from the dock staff both docking and departing. Great clothes shopping for both Captain and First Mate. The new restaurant Brine was outstanding for dinner.

Great help from dockhand. Good visit on our way south. Dock hands were at the slip to help tie up. Frustrated by the inability to get a pump out due to a broken fitting serving our slip. No concern on the part of staff to address the problem over a four day period. Lack of water pressure also made it difficult to fill water tanks fully.

Nice facility with good approach depth. Well protected. Dock hands were ready for our arrival. Easy docking. Docks are quite noisy when there is any wave action in the marina.

Great location and good services. Mooring field is tight for a boat our size. Difficult to locate our assigned mooring. Staff did come out to assist.

Wonderful visit. The harbor is spectacular and the mooring field is exceptionally well organized. It was an easy ride to the town pier in the tender and everyone worked well together to ensure access for others to tie up a tender and visit town. Convenient grocery within walking distance for provisions. We will continue to make Nantucket Moorings a key destination in our summer cruising schedule. Always a great visit.

Great mooring gear on HD1. Very secure. A little rocky with all of the various ferries in and out. Convenient docking for the tender and access to town. Enjoyed our visit.

Staff was great. Accommodated a request for a mooring last minute as we worked to get out of dense fog. Comfortable night to reset before moving north the next day.

Marina Response:
Glad we could help you out, thanks for staying with us!

Another great visit to a great location. Slip was good on the end of D dock, but we did have to move to allow a boat to exit safely from a slip across the fairway. Dock staff were very pleasant to work with.

Great staff to get us settled on the dock. Good services, including WiFi. We did not use bathroom or showers, so can’t comment on those. Easy access to town and great access to the museum. Being able to walk the grounds at night was wonderful. Another great visit July 2021. Greg and his team took great care of us as always. We’ll be back soon.

Our third visit to Safe Harbor Essex Island. Wonderful facility with experienced staff to assist with docking. Enjoyed our stay in a very comfortable marina. Location is quiet and has very easy access to a wonderful, walkable small town. We will certainly return in the future.

Nice location and enjoyed the museum.

Very shallow unmarked approach to the marina. Once on the dock, good facility and helpful staff. Exposed to south winds.

Marina Response:
⚠️Water is 3 feet Deeper than the charts show- have No Worries about depth! There will always be at Least 9 feet at Low Tide- at the approach and at least 8. to 8.5 feet inside the sea wall at *Low Tide. It was definitely a very gusty southerly wind yesterday. Absolute pleausure meeting you both, and glad you enjoyed despite the strong storm. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Initial slip assignment did not work out. We blocked the path to the inner portion of the Marina for other boats. Had to move the boat to a different location in a slip that worked adequately. Staff was very helpful in making that happen.

We were assigned to a 500 pound mooring in a very close quarters mooring field. Based on the weight of our boat, we did not consider it a safe situation, so we decided not to use the mooring and continued further down Long Island Sound.

Our second visit on our way back south from Maine. Roland and staff were ready with the work boat to get us secured to the dock, which was accomplished quickly and without any difficulties. Enjoyed a great visit for two nights this time and found it very comfortable and relaxing. Visited town by launch for lunch and then walked to Stonebridge for a cocktail in the evening. Roland and his staff took great care of us and we will visit again when our travels take us up Buzzards Bay in the future. Returned to Onset for 2021. Service remains excellent. Received an email prior to arrival with docking assignment to make preparing lines and fenders ahead easy. Dock crew was standing by to assist as we approached and the boat was secured quickly and easily. A beautiful and quiet location which we continue to visit in the future.

Marina Response:
Thank you! It was wonderful having you both with us and it was our pleasure helping to make your visit comfortable and relaxing. We'll be standing by for your next visit - hope to see you soon!

Great Harbor. Staff was helpful, especially the young man running the pump out boat. Launch service was very efficient and prompt. Another great visit. Excellent launch service, good mooring and took advantage of the water dock for the first time. Will continue to return on future visits.

We always enjoy a visit to Deltaville Marina. Arrived just after 5:00 and no dock hands available to help. Adjacent vessels offered help with lines, so able to tie up without problems.

Booked when we were unable to secure space at South Jersey Marina. Very limited facility. Tied up at the fuel dock, which was a bit undersized. Staff had limited experience with a boat our size. We were able to get secured for a comfortable evening with power.

Great service once again. Took fuel prior to heading to the mooring. Rob came out to assist with getting us secured to the mooring. Used the complimentary launch as well. Great visit.

Great assistance from Rob, the Dockmaster upon our arrival as well as on departure. We enjoyed the pool, water taxi and changing rooms. We will definitely be back.

A wonderful stay at a great facility. Location could not be more convenient. We were able to walk in town, including to a large grocery store. We met friends and walked to dinner each evening. The views of the harbor can not be beat and Dockmaster Stephen made a point of checking on us to see if we needed anything. Definitely our new location when we visit Newport.

Used a mooring ball for two nights. Very easy pickup and secure during our stay. Visited the marina facilities and obtained a needed fuse for our generator. Took an easy and beautiful walk into Kittery and enjoyed lunch at the Beach Pea Bakery. Would recommend Kittery Point Yacht Yard.

Marina Response:
Rob, thank you for the review! We love hearing feedback from our guests. I hope that the traffic is not as busy for you when you return. Please let me know if you have any questions or have any special requests for your next visit with us. Jason Tittle, Dockmaster

A beautiful facility. Dock staff was very helpful in getting us settled on the dock. The location is very convenient to town and activities, yet quiet and comfortable for relaxing. Enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. Laundry facilities also allowed a quick service of sheets and towels. Will definitely visit again in the future.

Beautiful facility with a great staff. Easy access to walk to town. We were able to enjoy the last day of the Maine Lobsterfest. Floating docks were in great shape. Did not use shower or laundry, but they are close by and looked nice and clean.

Used a mooring and had no issues. The location is very exposed to wave action in the harbor and we rolled quite a bit during our stay. Easy access to town using our tender and a good public dock available in town. Actually one of the best WiFi connections we have had.

Beautiful facility with easy access to town. Dock hands were very helpful and provided suggestions for lunch that were great. We will be back.

Marina is very convenient to town and views of the harbor were beautiful. Only issue was poor electric service. We had to run the generator several times when supplied voltage dropped below 90 volts.

Mooring ball assigned was very close to a dock and a large cluster of pilings. With storms throughout the night, we were not certain the mooring was strong enough to hold a boat our size and we had very little swing room as it did not seem they were set up for larger boats. Launch service was great and very prompt, but would look for a more comfortable docking or mooring situation on any future visit to Port Jefferson.
