The dock staff were great and the restaurant was amazing. The bathrooms were clean. We had a wonderful restful night here and it was our first time. In the morning we made a short walk to The Corner House for breakfast which was highly recommended by the dock manager Jake. It was perfect. We will definitely be back at least once a year.

Great stay! Friendly and helpful staff. Chelo’s restaurant was right in the marina parking lot with live music playing and several outside bars overlooking the bay. For anyone staying overnight they have great facilities and a pool for the little ones. It was a great stopover for a family out for the day or a quick overnight!

Very nice place. Could not contact them on VHF until we were well within the basin heading for the fuel dock to see if anyone was there! Very very tight space for turning a 40 foot sailboat! Used lots of prop walk to maneuver into our slip and out when departing. Fuel dock was tight too. Otherwise very nice place with pool and bbq area. Had a great cookout with our friends. Nice clean showers. Long walk to any shopping but Uber is available. Staff ounce they appeared were very friendly helpful docking.

Friendly & helpful staff. We were on the outside dock which was bouncy in SE winds. Marina is pretty average in terms of facilities - good bathroom/showers and pool, no clubhouse. The restaurant on-site is popular and it’s an easy walk to another called The Shanty, which is very good. My biggest issue was lousy internet service. Would recommend looking at marinas in Greenwich Cove as it’s more protected and walkable to East Greenwich village which has lots of restaurants, etc.

Another superb Safe Harbor property. The depth on Docwa is 7 feet (which is wrong) and wouldn’t let me make a reservation online as we draw 7.5. Lilly took the reservation on the phone and straightened the problem out after I arrived. Smooth, professional service. Boatyard is clean, docks well maintained and the location is protected on three sides. We didn’t eat in the on-site restaurant but the beers were good. Easy approach.

We stayed in the north marina inside the break water dock. It was easy in and out. There were no 30 amp outlets anywhere close to our slip. Our neighbors started playing music at 6am on Sunday. Overall there were a lot of boats playing loud music on the dock. It seems like a party atmosphere on the weekend. The heads were very nice and clean but about a quarter mile walk up the dock. The washing machine and dryer were new and cost $2 each. The onsite restaurant is crowded on weekends but pretty good.

Scheisters in the office but otherwise staff is friendly. I signed up for a mooring in December 2021 with $500. My boat was damaged in winter storm on cape. I informed them in January that I wouldn't be using the mooring but they refused even a partial refund of the deposit even when they found a replacement. This kind of a business must fail. Boater are forgiving,helpful people, not crooks!

The Marina was very good. We had a 4 boat group. 3 boats were close, one boat was 2 docks away even though there were 2 slips available on the dock. I thought that would have had a welcome packet of sorts given to the boats as sakonket and onset have done in the past. Every thing was clean and orderly. Nobody checked on the group as with other Safe Harbors. But had great weather great friends and a nice time

The only draw back was for some reason the marina allows people on B dock to bring their vicious pit bull and chow dogs....these dogs will eventually bite someone. The dogs are unfriendly and growl and snap when approached....it is only a matter of time

This was my second visit to Brewers Coweeset. Both times I had excellent service by the staff. They assist with tie up and the electrical and water connections are very reliable. George leads the dock crew in a professional manner and he even offered to tow me into the slip when I had a loose water pump belt as I approached the marina. The pools and rest room facilities are clean and everyone was friendly. Great getaway. Thank you.

Very friendly staff and great facilities. We hailed the dockmaster on channel 9 and George came out in the launch and led us into our dock (this is a very large marina-- over 700 slips.) Then he and another staff helped us tie up and plug in. When we checked in at the office they gave us a welcome package with all necessary info (gate codes, wifi password, etc.) They have two pools, one at each end ("North" and "South") of the marina. There is a restaurant on site-- Chelo's-- which gets very lively (i.e. loud) at night. There is also a good pub (The Shanty) about 1/4 mile up the road (and I mean up up up a steep hill.) The town of East Greenwich has a lot of shops, cafes, restaurants-- very cute and retro!-- but is not really walking distance from the marina (about 2 miles.) You can also take your dingy to the waterfront restaurants. Very lively, friendly marina!

Overall the marina is fantastic. We would return again. very accommodating over the phone and helpful over the radio on the approach. Once the slip assignment is made over the radio you are on your own. No staff awaiting your arrival at the dock to help or inform you of the amenities or anything else. Went to find trash location and young girl sitting in a booth (not sure where office was) and she told us OH, you came in, here is your welcome bag with some books. If you don't need anyone or anything, this is the place. If you are looking for a professional "Brewer's" service, this is not the place. Again, we loved it there and would return just no staff on the docks.
