West Wind Marina

Dock staff were great as we came in during Hurricane Lee and Reggie in the kitchen was amazing with food recommendations.

Great as always. Headed Over at the start of a tropical storm and they were waiting to get us in the slip safely!!!!! Always a great experience

Wonderful location with the most competent dock master, Alex / Serenity

Great staff (thanks Kayla!). Nice spot and secure docks. We’ll be back.

Kayla and Kate are amazing!!!!!! Great weekend

Excellent marina!!! From the moment we pulled in to the time we left Kayla and Kate were so helpful and accommodating….we’ll definitely be back for sure ❤️

Great location, great service

Staff was great. Showers were not hot

Pros: great location, great Dockmaster Cons: not fancy, facilities just ok, be aware of shallows just outside marina

Our stay at West Wind Marina in Newport couldn't have been better. Right off the bat Kayla and the girls got us into our slip with ease. Tied us up perfectly. It's in a great location. In the midst of great dining, shopping anything you need. 👍👍

Wonderful. Perfect location. Experience deck hands very capable !

Super fantastic service!!!!!

Staff is amazing. Location very good. Waters calm. Club next door very loud until 1am.

Thank you! We couldn't have found safe harbor in a better place. Thank you Kayla for your professional courtesy and kindness. Clean ample facilities, secure floating dockage, well protected. Easy walk in to town, enjoyed some delicious Thai food and re-provisioned. Highly recommend, added bonus a puppy fix with Mr. Trip on staff labradoodle.

Had such a nice time staying here that we extended our stay from 3 to 5 nights. Located just passed the very busy section of town, and convenient to everything. Kayla the dockmaster and her team were amazing. Definitely will stay here again.

Excelent, very good, wxcelleny

Caught the last two days of a pre-season rate deal which made an appropriate cost / value for this dock. Also we arrived after Memorial Day weekend so dockmaster & staff were off for the day, which they did tell us about ahead of time and we are ok docking ourselves. We stayed during the week, so the adjacent bars & disco were deserted and we didn’t experience any of the noise or party-bar associated issues others have mentioned. The bathrooms and showers are roomy and very clean. However there was no hot water so the shower experience was disappointing. Docks are at the far south of the Marina District but everything was walkable within a mile or so and we enjoyed poking about the other wharves. If we had paid full price we would have been dissatisfied because of the lack of amenities, hot showers and the rough condition of the docks themselves. However, for Newport, it was a good price for dock space.

First time here. Marina staff, Kayla, was excellent. Night club music way too loud. Drunk obnoxious people in boat next to me ridiculous. Now understand why marina has a bad reputation.

Kayla is always very helpful, we once again had a great stay. We even took our dinghy over to Goat Island for dinner. Great spot to dock and easy access to all of Newport.

Dock staff was great and helped us in to a tight berth with great skill. Good location too. Live music to serenade us to sleep only a few feet away at the nightclub.

First, I want to acknowledge that the staff is very good at West Wind Marina. However, this marina needs upgrading in order to justify $7 per foot, even for Newport. i was here about three years ago and very little has changed for the better. The docks had perhaps 2% of the decking replaced but really needs 100% replacement. The bathrooms really need to be redone. We were prepared to hear music from the club until closing time but there were two sources of music, one from the club and one from the bar and grill that competed. The worst was the private party on one of the big yachts (Reset) that may be a seasonal tenant. They took over when the club closed with some really obnoxious music. It required my going over at 2:45 AM to get some relief and that was not really satisfactory until 3:00 AM. The security is good here considering the night club and the bar and grill on the property. The location is good. It is not far from the heart of Newport.

Staff was wonderful, helpful docking! However, there is a dance/disco club that starts at 9pm and goes until 1am! Our slip was sitting right in front! Loud is not enough to describe the decibels! Other reviews said loud this is beyond loud, can’t sleep loud in cabin with air conditioner on and tv at full volume! There is a restaurant right next to the dance/disco club and they have music also which plays simultaneously until restaurant closes!

Staff was great and very helpful and accommodating.

Protected slip, helpful crew, close to town

Great stay for a day

Very helpful staff and a great location tucked in Newport Harbor. When the staff come to catch the lines they know what they are doing, which is not the case everywhere,

Great service, called and staff was waiting at dock to help us. A little tight to get into but nice a calm, easy walk to main strip. Restaurants and bars at end of dock closed.

Very professional staff. The Dockmaster was working quickly in a busy environment .. she made sure all the boats were treated with respect. I don't do dockspace often, but this place would be high on my list for another Newport visit.

AVIOD AT ALL COST!!! Terrible experience! The dockmaster Kayla was very rude and unconcerned about our issues..Still waiting for their response a month later.(email or call) 1.booked a 3 day stay.. we had no idea we would be next to a club. The gates gonthrough the club/area which made it impossible to leave the boat without going through the hundreds of drunk patrons; some who seemed convinced that they should be taking their drinks down to the boat. Eventually settling on tossing beer cans on deck and yelling expletives when we didn't oblige. This made for an uncomfortable night, with everyone locked inside scared to do anything but go to bed. 2. I fortunately got to see Kayla Grant that morning and even while I was handing her some of the beer cans thrown on board, she was very dismissive and tried convincing me that "maybe we drank them or they must have fell" onboard!!! After which she left and refused to even appilogize. 3. We payed for 3 days but only got to stay 1 night. We went out the next morning but soon learned that the spot was "taken" (less than 2 hrs) Again no communication from the marina. 4. After calling and sending emails to the marina, it became more obvious that they simply don't respect patrons, their safety or concerns. Find any other marina.. and if none available, probably best to find a moring ball or anchor..anything but that place!

Great stay at the marina ! The staff was friendly and helpful at the dock. Bathrooms were clean. The atmosphere was fun! Thank you ! We will be back!

If Westwind were not in Newport, it would no longer be in business! Have had reservations confirmed and then canceled, days apart, two years in a row. Last year was the day of arrival. After voicing our displeasure this time the employee became defensive and unwilling to make it right. If you enjoy rude customer service, and from what I read disgusting bathrooms, this is your place. One star was for location, because that's all this place has to offer.

Noise at night was horrible. No laundry as advertised. Toilet shower area was not great.

Great facility and staff was very helpful!

Very enjoyable stay . Convenient to stores and restaurants .

Very rowdy area. 25-yr-old drunks all around the docks from 10pm - 2am. Be careful.

Second stay. Easy access in front of Little Ida day beacon with plenty of water (we draw 7 feet). Very accommodating team. Quiet night with beautiful views of Newport. If you plan to stay during the summer and now that COVID is under control, be advised the marina is right next to a night club. WiFi is in transition and basically non functional. We had to extend due to engine problems and the marina staff were again very accommodating.

Great marina. Dock hands were great and pleasant. Will be back next year!!

From the minute we arrived the crew treated us like family and our boat as if it was theirs. Friendly, respectful, courteous... The marina had all the amenities we needed, the bar and restaurant was great and an easy walk to great shops and the heart of Newport. Everything made for such a relaxing weekend, could not have been better! Thank you!

Excellent Marina located right off of Thames Street within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Fantastic courteous friendly staff was right there to help tie up and let go. Very accommodating. Expect to go back next season.

West Wind and it’s people are always a delight. Newport is at its best in the fall, thinner crowds, better service in the restaurants. Easy walk to our favorite food and drink.

Wanted easier access to land than from dinghy for a week after getting total hip replacement. This was just what we needed with the one caveat that, like every marina in Newport, it is outrageously expensive. No shower or toilet due covid. Dockmaster was great.

It’s always a pleasure to stay here.

Had a great stay. Friendly dock master.

Excellent stay:) close to town. Wifi was excellent. Thank you Luca

Very nice service.

Marina was fine and staff great, but the three loud bars with bands blaring music and drunks kept us awake until all hours

They are always professional and helpful. A+ for West Wind from The Resiliensea

Great service and great location in a great boating town.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Clean facilities.

Service was great. Bathrooms are ok, not great. The only reason it’s not a 5 is because it’s kind of a party scene here. Thumping music all night long at a dance club next to the dock. The best part was there was space when Newport was otherwise full.

Dock hands were great. A little interesting getting into their basin, but we had good guidance over the radio. Dock hands were very helpful with tie up, power, water, etc. Reviews from 2017 and 2018 mentioned that the restrooms needed updating. I did not see any mention in 2019 reviews so I was hoping that was taken care of. Sadly, the restrooms/showers are not up to Newport standards, or even what I would expect from any marina. Also, the restrooms should be checked a few times each day to ensure that supplies do not run out. Updating the restrooms would seem to be a good winter project. It would move this review to 5 stars. Other reviews mentioned the night club (The Dock), and yes it is loud, but it was not a problem for us as we were at the far end of the marina. We did have lunch there and were pleased. The marina is at the south end of downtown and we were very pleased with the shops and restaurants in the immediate area. Sunday were went up to the Banister Warf area which was packed with tourists. If you are looking to relax, this is a good area.

Super spot. Easy dock. Great service.

Great experience on out first stay . helpful dockhands and staff . Enjoyed the sunset , will be back , thanks , crew of the CDP

This marina is a hidden gem in Newport. Great location, good restaurant, hot night spot and an outstanding crew that is friendly and efficient.

Very loud music till 1:00 am. Very nice and friendly staff but very loud night club on premise. Beware if you want to sleep before 1:00 am.

This is our third time here and we love the spot.

Great experience staying at West Wind. Everyone who works there is great. Very much enjoyed our time there.

It was excellent. The dock staff are so helpful and friendly. We had an excellent on the side of our friends as promised.

With over thirty thousand miles at sea under my belt I will say that weatwind marinas bathroom facilities are the worst I have ever seen. They are like an El savadoran prison. When you pay the same as the other marinas in Newport you expect clean and modern showers. They are cinderblock dirty walls, torn curtains and moldy and dirty. I will never go back here. If you are fine with dirty showers and bathrooms and loud music from the bar this is the place for you.

Great Stay. Helpful dock hands. Great Music @ The Deck. Facilities clean

Now my first choice when coming to Newport.

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great location and restaurant next door. Could use a renovation of bathrooms and showers. Nice place.

Good slips, nice protected area. Little funny where the pedestals were (up high off the floating dock on the boardwalk behind), but not an issue. People were very nice. Facilities were fine, but could use some sprucing up. Be aware it's literally right next to a club and a bar. Wasn't loud on Thursday night, but I assume it would be loud Fri/Sat. Would stay again.

Worked out perfectly! Thank you!

Horrible! Dock master was unprofessional and not very pleasant. Glad we left after only one day. Bathrooms filthy, marina needs to be updated. Will. Never go back

The dockmaster was rude and unprofessional. Would NEVER go back.

The marina staff were very helpful and courteous. The only negative was the loud music at the adjacent nightclub.

Great, West wind is such a pleasant change from the other Newport Marinas. The staff is so friendly and accommodating,very private location tucked away off the main Thames street area, very relaxing.

marina staff was very helpful, even on a busy weekend. music can be a bit loud but ended promptly at 1am. excellent power and water. great view and location in town.

Staff was friendly and accommodating - got a great slip. Location on lower Thames Street is perfect for many shops, restaurants, etc. Some issues: bathrooms need some renovations; marina is located on same property as a restaurant and bar, which were quite loud, until late.
