Awesome customer service (Dianne). I called looking for a transient spot for the night, after a quick review of capacity she called me back and assigned me a spot. Great dock (We were on the face dock) with water and plenty of power options. Calm day, launch operator offered docking assistance but we were good, he did swing over and check on us a bit later, very pleasant. Great experience checking in at the office, Dianne could not be any nicer and is an asset to the company. Great stay and super friendly staff, Highly recommend Greenwich Cove Marina.

Good marina. Floating docks. Easy access - we were on the face dock. Ate onboard but it looks like lots of choices for eating in the town. Dock hands came out in the rain to help with our lines as we departed in the morning - thank you. Other boaters were very friendly. Good experience in all ways.

Good experience overall. Appreciated the help on the dock to direct us to our spot when we arrived. Facilities were clean and everyone we talked to was helpful. We only had one issue. We did not receive a passcode to the dock security gate when we arrived and would have appreciated knowing it for easier access to boat after returning from dinner later in the evening. Didn't know if that was part of the program or not but if it is we we recommend letting folks know when they arrive.

Super helpful and friendly staff. First time here and they got me oriented over the phone and then had a dockhand waiting for us at our slip. Old East Greenwich is a short walk, with fabulous restaurants. Dave's Market is an easy cab ride and is fantastic as well.

All in Marine is the worst shop you could ever get work done at. The owner James makes his employees wait and think they're not going to get a paycheck. He is a sketchy mechanic that has high prices and will rip the customer's off. Just very disappointing he is like this just want to make sure people will see this and go to someone that cares and will give you the best price. Terrible experience he is a straight up BUM and LOWLIFE that has a bad drinking problem.

Stayed at a slip here for 4 nights on our 45 foot sailboat to duck out of the way of TS Isaias. Had a great stay. Docks are new with tall pilings and new dock power. Everyone at the marina was very helpful and super nice. Staff helped us in with our lines. Boat yard on site as well with lift, and marina store had a good supply of boat products including stainless hardware, zinc's, sandpaper, epoxy and paint products, cleaners, etc. No fuel onsite (that I saw) but yacht club next door has fuel. Ice available as well as laundry but only one washer, one dryer. Both worked well. Several restaurants within walking distance. Dave's grocery is nearby by car in town, and is a super duper nice store...has it all and high quality. Would definitely return and can recommend.

The whole experience was very disappointing. Prime Marina was not clearly identifiable as we entered Greenwich Bay. So we passed several marinas before having to turn around. The launch driver assisted us to locate our mooring. The mooring line was covered with sharp crustaceans making it impossible to secure it to our boat cleat. We were moved to another mooring that had a depth of 5.4 ft after being told that the depth was 15 ft. Our draft is 5.0. The mooring line was so long that if our boat turned around, our stern would have hit the boat on the adjacent mooring. We did not feel comfortable staying the night. So completely frustrated, we dropped our mooring line and headed to Dutch Harbor for the night. I would not recommend Prime Marina to anyone.

Didn’t stay here. First reservation request never answered. Second denied stating they were full. We stayed elsewhere and noticed plenty of space on their large face dock available. Would have preferred better communication.

Not a safe port...avoid Prime Marina, East Greenwich, RI at all costs! I worked out a deal to get my boat hauled at the end of the day and left in the slings overnight and if my boat was ready to go back in the water at the start of the next day I would only get charged for a short haul. When the boat was ready to put in the water the following morning, the billing manager didn’t like the deal and charged my credit card for twice my written quote. When I complained, he said he was going to seize my boat and block it in his yard. The office manager eventually directed him to credit my credit card for the overcharged amount. When leaving, the billing manager rushed towards me, called me swear words, and actually put his hands on me pushing me towards the door. Something is seriously wrong with this place. No service they can provide is worth the chance of dealing with them. If you’re looking for happy boating steer clear of Prime Marina, East Greenwich, RI. Captain Michael 50 Ton Master Update... Prime Marina’s response to my one star review was not an apology but to take the oil from my oil change, put my name and phone number on the 5 gallon pail, and deliver it to my dock at another marina. I find this to be inappropriate and bizarre. Something is seriously wrong with at Prime Marina, East Greenwich, RI! Captain Michael 50 Ton Master
