Fantastic marina! Ashton and Lily are great on the docks, they sure know the ropes (pun intended!) Kyle in the office was so kind to hear all my stories of our journey from North Carolina, he’s a great resource for the area and Block Island, an all-around great guy and manager. Amazing views from the fire pit, pool and hot tub, pool is super clean, overlooks the water, fairly warm water (it’s Rhode Island, not Tahiti) and plenty of seating and grills. Nice clean bathhouse, big showers, good water pressure. There’s a neighborhood close by for running/walking. Can bike to towns like Tiverton. Bridgeport Fish market is maybe 3 miles, excellent selection and quality. Corner convenience store quarter mile away, walkable. Very social marina, made friends, home port events sounded like fun, can’t wait to return!!! Ten stars!

Just spent one day and night at this marina..great staff, extremely clean…we were having a diesel mechanic work on our boat…while he was working, I used the time to do laundry…great machines and cheap compared to Newport…while the washer was running, the manager invited me to sit in the lounge, where I was comfortable and dry, since it was a rainy day..will definitely be back…

Well maintained and clean marina. Dock staff are excellent: they know their jobs, and they give you helpful advice. Thank you, Dockmaster Dave! September 16-17, 2021 We lost reverse as we were leaving our slip. Dock hand saved us!! Then she guided us out!! Many, many thanks for such expertise.

Safe Harbor Sakonnett offered a relaxing two-day respite during our recent four-week cruise. The facility is first rate, as is the staff. The pool was an unexpected pleasurer. The marina's in a neighborhood and there's no local anything other than a modest convenience store, so be prepared. We were back for a second year and the marina remains first rate. Groceries ordered from Stop & Shop came right to the marina, so no concerns for provisions. It’s a great stop if you’re cruising and need a do-nothing day or two.

Marina Response:
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that Safe Harbor Sakonnet was a relaxing and enjoyable stop during your cruise—and even more so that you chose to return for a second year. It’s wonderful to know that you found the facility first rate and our team helpful, and we’re glad the pool was a pleasant surprise. We also appreciate you pointing out the surrounding area and sharing practical insights for fellow boaters—having provisions delivered and planning ahead definitely helps make a stay even more seamless. Your continued trust and kind words mean a great deal to us. We look forward to welcoming you back again whenever your travels bring you through—always happy to be your “do-nothing” day (or two) destination! ⚓️

We needed service on our powerboat. Dave and his crew came to the mooring, picked up the boat in the pouring rain, transferred it to a great slip, completed the repairs and allowed us to use the slip a few days until we were able to get underway. Great place!

Marina Response:
Thank you so much for sharing this experience! We’re glad to hear that Dave and the crew were able to assist you quickly and safely—especially in less-than-ideal weather. Getting you from the mooring to a slip and back underway smoothly is exactly the kind of service we strive to provide. We’re happy we could help take the stress out of an unexpected situation and keep you comfortable while your repairs were completed. Your kind words mean a lot to the entire team, and we appreciate you choosing us. We look forward to seeing you again—hopefully under sunnier skies next time! ⚓️

This is a great marina with very friendly dock staff. About 5 of them came over to help us dock. The bathrooms were new and beautiful. Recently renovated. The entry to the marina (North yard) is a little tight especially at low tide. Beware of the tides if you have a sailboat and stay close to the docks as you round the winding channel. Everyone there seemed very friendly. The surrounding neighborhood is very cute and you can walk to a little convenience store for some quick supplies.

Marina Response:
Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience with our marina and that our dock staff were able to provide such attentive assistance during your arrival—it’s always our goal to make docking as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’re also glad you enjoyed the recently renovated bathrooms and the overall friendliness of our team. Your note about the North yard entrance and tides is especially helpful—we appreciate you taking the time to share that insight for fellow boaters. It’s wonderful to know you took advantage of the nearby neighborhood and conveniences as well. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon! ⚓️

Tight maneuvering in the marina, but nice composite floating docks, and very well protected. Decent, clean facilities. Not much in the neighborhood. There is a pool, but it was closed for the season.

Marina Response:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad to hear you appreciated the composite floating docks, the protection the marina offers, and the cleanliness of our facilities. We also appreciate your honest comments about maneuvering and the surrounding area—our harbor layout can require a bit of care, especially for larger vessels, and we always encourage guests to approach with tides and conditions in mind. Your note about the pool being closed for the season is helpful as well. We’re happy you had a positive overall experience and hope to welcome you back again when the pool is open and conditions are just right. ⚓️

Pulled into Safe Harbor Sakonnet after a very difficult trip for hours against a high wind on Buzzards Bay. The marina couldn't have been more helpful in guiding us there and then spending a lot of time with to help with docking and leaving, help with pump-out etc, fueling, etc. The facilities looked great too although we were too exhausted to do much. Highly recommended!
