I cannot rave enough about Stunning Wentworth by the Sea! We were so happy to have discovered it this season and it shall be a destination we shall anticipate sailing to every summer from The Hamptons. Terry and Hannah,(and now, meeting Jackie, this year) in administration, are the absolute best!! They had been so gracious and accommodating from the very beginning of needing to tweak our arrival and departure schedule, a few weeks before arrival. We had a mishap out at sea, during our sail from the previous port, and Hannah was so sympathetic and comforting. We had hit a lobster part and had a prop dysfunction and had to divert a few hours back to Salem for an awaiting diver and possible haul out. Hannah, through Safe Harbor, switched the reservations--and immediately called Salem to inform them of our impaired arrival and to line up the diver to check out the prop. When we were, thankfully, able to make it the next day to Wentworth, all fees were adjusted. The facility and the security at Wentworth are stellar! The docks are so nice. We were on the A Dock. We had great neighbors, and a lovely view. We really enjoyed all the restaurants on the premises—Latitudes, near the marina, Salt, in the hotel. The hotel is magnificent and so many places to sit, read, converse and cogitate—during a month long sailing trip, being solidly on terra firma was well-appreciated! I was going to use the indoor pool one evening but, as it turned out, I didn’t, but I was given a tour of the spa and indoor pool, and next season, I shall definitely book some spa treatments and make use of the warm and inviting indoor pool. One of the greatest amenities for us was the loner car the marina offers. We normally bike all around or Uber on these long trips, and occasionally rent a car. Having a new, wonderful Chevy Equinox at our disposable was such a lovely addition to our stay! Aside from exploring beautiful New Castle, we drove to, and spent time in, Portsmouth—such a vibrant, well-kept town.lovely gardens down by the waterfront. And we stocked up on Provisions at a large market. We couldn’t have been happier with every element of our stay at Wentworth, including a must for boaters—visiting nearby Isles of Shoals. Can't wait to come back next year! Thank you to Philip and Nick and Hannah and Terry and Jackie and all the other amazing employees of Wentworth--a truly magical and quixotically magical port and marina!!
