We enjoyed our Halloween overnight stay at South Wharf. Little Moss for dinner and a nice walk around the village of Padanarum. Very nice marina!
Nice neighborhood! Courteous & helpful dock staff. Informative welcome package provided. Newer restrooms. Walkable town with good assortment of eateries, and a great market for provisioning. Only one star off for no on-site pool, beach, or swimming area.
Enjoyed two nights at South Wharf, and looking forward to returning. Clear detailed instructions to find and approach our slip. Met by a dock attendant, who took our docklines, and offered to help with shore power. Clean restrooms. Restaurant on premise, as well as a number of other walkable dining options. Small market with nearby for re-stocking provisions, except no seafood. We were there mid week, and it was quiet. Nice to tie up for a couple of nights and give the boat a spa treatment.
Although we like to explore all the different harbors of the area, South Wharf and Padanaram were special enough to warrant a second visit this summer. Quiet, charming harbor and a very competent and welcoming dock staff. We will certainly be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay. L’ATTITUDE
Very nice marina. Friendly staff. Love the quaint feel of the village. Will be back.
The marina staff is First Rate.....the bathrooms/showers are the best....all new...the location of the marina couldn't be better....just a short walk to restaurants.....shops....can't say enough about the young staff....they are there 8 in the morning till 8 at night to help....after that security guard
Convenient location with a very helpful staff. They were always available to take our lines when we arrived back at the marina.
Great place to hunker down during a storm and very helpful harbormaster. Electrical was steeper then any marina we’ve been at but everything else was an A+. Check out the market/cafe nearby!
Very helpful. The slip I was originally assigned did not work for me for the weather that was expected. They moved other boats to make room for me at a better location.
Professional marina with top notch service. Very helpful Dock Master Dave and staff. Well appointed facilities, very clean. And excellent off season pricing.
Dock Master Dave and his crew are very helpful. They were at capacity and he opened up a slip for us so we could be safe in the upcoming blow. Immaculate facility, friendly staff and great service. Many thanks.
Prior to arrival, we spoke with the dockmaster about slip preferences and he was very accommodating. When we arrived, dock hands were there to assist us. Everyone was very friendly and marina has showers and a restaurant on the premises. The marina provided with a folder full of information about the facility and the village which was right out their "front door". Had a great lunch at Farm and Coast.
Our third visit and we will return - great well-protected location with professional staff. Great location in Buzzards Bay for a layover prior to heading to Maine. Facilities for heads, showers and laundry are convenient and first rate. Very professional dock and yard staff - completed oil changes for both main engine and genset on prior visit. Good restaurant on-site and very nice local stores nearby. Excellent stop for a layover.
This was our 4th or 5th trip to South Wharf and we have loved it every time. Great help docking and leaving, They even brought us some steps to help get on and off the boat. They have concerts on Friday evenings in the summer that are fantastic. Easy walk to the village for shops and restaurants.
Great facility and staff - Logan was particularly helpful and informative. We'll definitely be back!
First time to South Wharf and will return next time we are in the area. It was just an overnight stay, marina staff were helpful and facilities were clean. We had an end dock with great views, loved the South Dartmouth village and we ate at the restaurant attached to the marina. Could not have been more convenient.
What a friendly staff and lovely marina!
Easy in, helpful dockhands and did some laundry. Cute town nearby.
South Wharf in Padanaram is a delight! It’s a well run facility, with friendly and exceptionally helpful staff. The property is clean, the bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities are fully up to date and spotless. The marina and docks are well maintained and in good repair.
This year will be our 3rd boating season at home in the Marina at South Wharf. My wife our family and I love spending our summers on board at South Wharf! The marina offers very easy boating access to most of our favorite destination, the full service staff at South Wharf works very hard at lending a hand into our slip and keeping our boat on the water. The quaint, quiet, humble Village offers outstanding amenities all within walking distance of the marina. From there dock master to the marina owners this is a first class operation. We are proud members of the South Wharf family. Tom and Denna
Very helpful friendly staff. Wonderful village to visit and walk through. Best marina showers ever! And same with laundry
Peter and all the staff were friendly and professional. No hesitation to recommend both Dockwas and South Wharf
South Wharf,, great facility and great docks. Right downtown. Close to restaurants and ice cream. Great showers and heads. A bit short of electrical power and old pedestals. Would certainly go back.
Competent dock staff (Ryan) and Dockmaster (Brian). Clean facility with all services except cable TV as needed. Fuel is right next door at the New Bedford YC.
