Welcome to Goat Island, an island oasis in the heart of Newport Harbor. Goat Island has a long history which includes home to a military fort during the American Revolution, torpedo manufacturing for the US Navy, and more recently serving as host to the Tall Ships Festival and world-class sailing regattas.
Goat Island Marina offers a quiet, relaxing atmosphere in the "City by the Sea," only minutes away from downtown Newport. Enjoy breathtaking harbor views while relaxing at your slip, or take a quick shuttle ride into town to experience Newport's revered shopping and exciting nightlife.
Goat Island Marina is a deep-water facility that is located on the west side of Newport Harbor. There are fixed and floating slips available that can accommodate just about any size vessel. The fuel dock is easily accessible and is monitored by our friendly dock staff.
I received a request to write a review but reality was we only just arrived, several days later than expected due to weather issues. Cecelia was very accommodating and made sure we would have our slip on arrival. The marina is very nice, staff is great and all is good. The crew is looking forward to a great season out of Goat Island Marina.

NoReportCecelia and Team are one of the most accommodating and friendly dock office/ staff I’ve ever encountered. They excel to make sure you’re comfortable and happy, no matter what. The marina itself is clean, accessible, and a 3 minute launch, or short walk to Thames St. The harbor view is beautiful, and the Marina Pub is a very popular spot, right in the premises. Thank you again, and will see you on our next visit.
Art, thanks for taking the time to leave a review! It was our pleasure having Neverland here with us. You guys are awesome and we hope to see you back next year! Cheers, Cecelia and the GIM Staff

NoReportUpon arrival the dock guys were awesome ! And that’s where it stopped. We were given no info on bathrooms, no WiFi info had to pay for a water lunch into Newport . ( 4.00pp) but given no info on where to even grab it. The bathrooms were hot, no AC ONLY ONE shower, and two toilets to share with a wedding party and the entire marina .they were locked at night and not open at five when we went up in morning. (No code was given to us)
There was a wedding going on that you would have to walk through just to use the bathrooms. Kind of awkward … never again will we stay here. For the amount of money we spent for a slip you would think it be much more upscale and more info given to us.
Dear Jrosengren, We are so sorry that your experience here at the Goat Island Marina was not up to your expectations! We are terribly sorry for your inconvenience! I have emailed you to your email address on file for the boat as well as here on marinas.com with more of our apology. Again, we are so sorry for your inconvenience. Sincerely and Respectfully, Goat Island Marina Management

Hi there! Thank you for the review. The Goat Island Marina does not have a restaurant! But there is the Marina Pub and Grill on the island or the restaurants at Gurney's hotel also on Goat Island. Yes, the water taxi's do take guests over to the Newport Harbor landing where there are literally 100's of restaurants to choose from. We are sorry that you had to take the water taxi to find a restaurant! We really appreciate the 4 stars rating and that you were able to stay with us! We also hope to see you back to try the Marina Pub and Grill or the restaurants at the hotel at the north end of this island! Sincerely, the staff at the Goat Island Marina
