The boat ramp remained highly disorganized and unsafe throughout the entire 2022 season. Small stored dinghies, canoes, and kayaks were scattered throughout the rack areas and secured by locks and chains vs. using the assigned rack space. Complaints were submitted and recorded but to no avail. Update: The 2023 season demonstrated a vast improvement in the boat ramp area, particularly with the newly installed racks. Thanks to the City of Milford and its management team.
I love having my kayak there for the season Went for a paddle over 60 times this year The harbor is beautiful at sunrise
Didn't get as much time on the water as would have liked but no issues.
Loved it and want the same spot next season fo sure
Fantastic a staff, beautiful location, great restaurants.
Very happy there for the second year in a row. Harbor master and crew are accomodating and helpful if you need them.
I love the floating dock moorings used in Milford harbor. Very easy to leave from and pull up to my mooring.
My stay at the mooring was a great experience. The leader ship is impeccable. With Jim at the helm he’s running his operation. Like a finally to Navy vessel. Thanks for everything. Looking forward to seeing you next year.
Facility is great and Jim is great and attentive to everything around there.
The best place to keep your boat. Jim and all of the dock attendants are awesome!!!
First time at Milford Landing and what a positive experience. Clean and new facilities, friendly staff and a great location; near everything downtown. Jim met us dockside to assist w lines. Great Stay !
Great people, great facilities and great location. Did I mention it's great
This is a gem of a location with excellent services and an extremely accommodating and competent Harbor Master running the show. Jim was able to accommodate my request to dock my catamaran during a recent storm by juggling a few boats. He went went over and beyond helping us through the potential event, which thankfully did not amount to very much. Milford is a fantastic location as other reviews have noted, with easy access to the town. The showers and facilities are new. I gave Milford Landing five stars because there is no six star option.
Great location to get groceries, beverages and dining out. Facility is clean and staff is friendly and helpful.
It was wonderful...Jim the dock master and his staff were friendly, efficient and very helpful. We love staying at the marina every year
Very welcoming. Excellent bathrooms with new showers equipped with soap shampoo etc.
Fantastic… great location, very friendly staff. Helpful. + recommendation. Showers , new and clean. Walking distance to Metro North for crew changes
Had a most enjoyable overnight at Landing - great town with music and good food. We’ll be back.
Great facility, clean bathrooms, walking distance to manyrestaurants.
We enjoyed our stay, the facilities were nice, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
I can't say enough about Jim, his staff and the facilities! We were here for our club's rendezvous, and everyone had an amazing time. The renovations are top notch including the bathrooms and all the work done to the docks and grounds. The location to town is perfect and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Jim was on the dock himself all day on Sunday helping everyone depart. This is a special place!!
The staff and accommodations were fantastic. The restrooms were top notch and loved being so close to downtown and next to a park for our dog. We’ll be back!
Excellent staff and fantastic play to stay. Jim (the Dock Master) and his staff were always ready to help us and our fellow boaters.
Nice facilities and service. Nice town with lots of restaurants.
Came for firework weekend and ended up staying for two months. Great spot in the heart of downtown Milford. You can walk to all the local restaurants. Lots of events for both kids and adults, concerts, movies nights, fairs etc. Quick walk to basketball courts, tennis, pickle ball and a park for the kids. Jim and the staff were great! Thank you!
Milford Lisman Landing is an incredible destination. Great Staff and facilities along with an endless options for dining and shopping.
Outstanding every time! Even on the busiest weekend of the season. Newly renovated bathrooms and showers are some of the best we have ever seen.
Staff was helpful, very clean Will come back for sure!
Very clean marina, conveniently located near town. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Channel depth much greater than expected. We will be back
Not our first time and not our last! Great location great and very clean. You can't get closer to the action then this.
Very, very clean grounds and restrooms. The employees of this marina take great pride in this spot. Been here many times and will be back many more.
Practically brand new. Everything very clean and well appointed. Good friendly staff.
Fantastic facility with very good dock hands. It’s right on the edge of town so convenient to everything. Restrooms are top notch too. We met with other tug owners over the weekend and the pavilion was a great asset. Can’t wait to go back!
Beautiful spot. Excellent facilities. Close to everything.
Nice new bathrooms for the marina but need hooks for shower towels
Exceptionally nice marina!! Clean, friendly and readily accessible. Will definitely visit again.
Beautiful marina, great location, fabulous and clean amenities!!!
Nice clean place with courteous and responsive staff. Well located at the end of the harbor in a sheltered area with no wake or wave action. Easy walk to downtown Milford with lots of restaurants available. No convenience store or supply locations nearby, but neighboring marina has a ships store if needed.
Always a pleasant experience at Milford Landing Marina, from the friendly staff to the short walk to local restaurants and the town green to first rate ice cream at Scoopy Doos. Need to stay overnight (or for a few) sometime soon.
Wonderful staff met us at our dock, provided us with electric and helpful advice on restaurants in town. The facilities are new and clean and the location is perfect.
Beautiful, clean, friendly, and best in class docks…. These are the words I would use to describe Milford Landing Marina. Walk to everything. Bars , restaurants, breakfast options and ice cream. Beaches are close and your dingy gets you everywhere . It really is must on your list of where to go for a night by boat. The bathrooms and showers are best in class. Can’t wait to go back.
Staff and facilities are terrific! Beautiful new bathroom and shower facilities. I recognize installing some hooks or racks for shower towels and clothes. We had a great experience!!
Very friendly staff, clean and modern facilities. Easy walk to great restaurants and cool town. Highly recommended.
Milford is a very real small town if that makes sense? We stayed in several marinas on Long Island and CT Coast and found this one to be above standards. Very helpful, friendly staff, who could not do enough for you. Easy walk into town. We had two opportunities to dine in town and had great experiences. Again, friendly and warm was our impression.
Excellent small marina with superb staff headed by Jim Donegan . Had to change dates at last minute for 3 boats and he worked magic to still get us in. A real gentleman. Marina is situated so close to a beautiful downtown green with great pubs and restaurants. A must visit. Art Glick "Chic's Rose"
Milford Landing came highly recommended and I understand why: it's very close to downtown Milford with all its restaurants and retail shops and the marina park is very quaint and has its own excellent ice cream shop! Also there's a very nice marine store next to the Landing that's part of the Milford boat works. Lots of waterfowl on the inlet for entertainment. Restroom/shower facilities were recently renovated and very nice with private individual restrooms/showers. Downsides? We had some party boats in for Saturday night since it's a municipal marina and the noise went on for a while into the night. Next time I'd only go there during the week. Otherwise a very good stop with friendly staff to help you with whatever.
Nice facility, very clean. The updated bathrooms/showers are what all marinas should be providing. Rates are a bit aggressive, especially for weekends
All good! Facilitets nice, New paving to town. Nice restaurants within walking distance! And now new bathrooms/showers.
This well run municipal marina is always a good transient stop. The makin part of town, with shops and restaurants is an easy walk and there is an ice cream shop no more than 500 feet from your slip! The Marina recently redid their restrooms. Now there are five individual bathrooms complete with a shower. They could use some clothes hooks but other that that, perfect.
Great staff, nice facilities close to many restaurants, updated shower facilities… great place to stay
The crew at Milford Landing was great in every way! From assisting with docking, to amenities information, to being flexible with our check-out time since there was a tornado warning on our departure day! We will definitely return for another fun weekend in Milford!
A little caught off guard with the vagrants that live in the park, also no gate down to the dock. Otherwise great place. The bathrooms are beautiful and clean. Short walk to town, friendly people.
A very pleasant spot, and a lovely town. Very helpful dock staff. We liked it so much, we stopped over again on our way home. Definitely will return.
This place is a little gem. The water got skinnier and skinnier (literally, depth was ok) as we approached up the channel but landed in a fine slip that could not be more protected. The staff was friendly and helpful, the heads and showers were squeaky clean and new, and it was easy walking distance for plenty of dinner options. We’ll be back.
This is a very nice marina. Dockmasters wer very accommodating and the grounds are beautifully kept. The town is right at their doorstep. Bathrooms were great!
The marina is at the base of the village with plenty of restaurants and shops to visit. Staff was extremely helpful, grounds and restrooms were immaculate. Will definitely return.
Great stay at Milford Landing Marina. Floating docks, easy access to beautiful new bathrooms/showers, walking to town for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Plus Bonus ice cream “Scoopy Doos” right at the Marina! Very attentive dock hands and dock office. We will be back!
Nice clean place. Good dock hands. Close to downtown.
This was our second time in Milford and really enjoyed the town and Milford Landing Marina. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The facilities are new, very clean and easy to access. We dined at the Stonebridge which was a short walk from the Marina. The menu was awesome and the food was excellent. We will be back soon to Milford Landing Marina!
Milford Landing is awesome! Jim & his staff are super nice. Marina is super clean with brand new private bathrooms. Top notch!
Awesome, the staff was great. The facility was recently renovated
As always, the friendly and welcoming staff make us feel at home. The upgraded shower/bathroom facilities are a home run!
Great marina with an outstanding staff right in the heart of town. All new restrooms and a nice outdoor seating area.
great location close to town and Scoopy Doos. Dockmaster Jim was very friendly. Renovated bathrooms very nice. Even my very picky girlfriend was happy. Rob D
Milford Landing is always a great time and a great destination with lots to do. Clean facilities, friendly staff and helpful Dock hands. Definitely a destination worth visiting!
Everything was so clean and nice and new and easy... What a great place to stay and a great location close to town.
Milford Landing should be at the top of your list among destinations to visit along Long Island Sound ! The staff is outstanding , always providing first class service to all of their guests . New IPE Decking, large deep water slips, power and water to accommodate all your needs. A Large opening covered patio to have cookouts with your friends and family. Best of all only minutes away by foot from Milford’s finest restaurants and shops . We recently visited for the weekend and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. From the minute we arrived, Jim and his well trained crew provided us with first class service and accommodations. I highly recommend! 5 stars!
Excellent facility, great town experience nightlife and restaurants nice proximity. The staff was friendly and excellent service. Clean and professionally run. Great place for a quick easy weekend with friends. All 4 boats traveling together were accommodated in neighboring slips. Fantastic time.
Great place. Very clean and the people are great
New clean restrooms, attentive staff, close to downtown Milford.
This is a great marina. Private bathrooms with showers recently added. Staff is courteous and helpful, and the ice cream shop at the top of the dock does not hurt. Excellent restaurants are just near by.
Really nice marina. Great people, Great town just steps away.
Close to town, quiet. Redone bathrooms are very nice.
Clean facilities, helpful staff, close to town, all the items you need for overnight stays.
Stayed on the annual Pirates weekend. This year it was cold. Accommodations were great as usual. The newly renovated bathrooms were spotless. Great little town with so much to do. See you next year.
Great marina, very sheltered, and close to resturants and bars. What more could you want!
As usual, had a great experience at MLM. Staff was awesome and the marina was in great shape. Lots of upgrades that quite frankly was not even necessary. Would highly recommend a trip there.
Great weekend service was excellent. Only drawback was ice vender never showed up with delivery.
Great Dockmaster and staff. Lot's of good restaurants in town in easy walking distance. Facility is clean and neat.
Excellent spot, great staff, clean facilities! Definitely recommend!
Returned to Milford Landing for a stay over the Memorial Day weekend. As usual,our stay was most enjoyable. The staff did an excellent job helping us with our tie up and made our arrival smooth. The new bathroom and shower renovations are amazing. Highly recommend a stay here to enjoy the restaurants and small town New England feel.
Well done on the bathroom renovation!! Looks beautiful and clean!!
I assume you are referring to my summer 22 seasonal mooring rental???... if so, it was wonderful as always \n\nBest Regards \nScott
This was our first boat trip to Milford and Milford Landing Marina was the perfect place to stay the night. The docks are well built and the whole facility is clean. The help is friendly. It is very well protected from wind. It's proximity to the downtown area is a big plus for us. This side of the tracks in Milford is definitely on the upswing. Lots of good restaurants and bars and a nice central green area. There is a bit of noise from trains and I 95 but not terrible.
Great location and beautiful Marina. Lots of restaurants within a couple of blocks.
easy dockage, close to town, nice facilities
Great staff, nice floating docks, very close to downtown Milford restaurants and shops.
Jim and the whole staff are great. Bathrooms are always spotless! Every employee is super friendly and helpful. This marina is always our first choice for a getaway.
Everyone at Milford Landing is friendly and we could walk to town.
We stayed here for several nights on our way to Boston in July, and decided to return on our trip back to the Chesapeake. The marina is right next to the very cute and quaint downtown. This is a hidden gem at the end of the channel, so no wakes. The docks are in great shape, the area has beautiful landscaping, showers are close by and very clean. Dock hands are very friendly and helpful. This marina is now one of our favorites, from Sarasota, FL to Boston, MA.
Well kept docks and clean bathrooms. Dockhands were short and a couple that were there need training
Milford Landing Team Dock Team are terrific and we love coming to visit! Thanks so much!
Milford Landing Marina is one of our very favorite places to stay. I mean, what's not to like: courteous and boat knowledgeable staff led by their friendly manager, Jim; walking distance to the charming town of Milford with its historic green surrounded by stores and Victorian mansions housing law firms and other businesses; a list of restaurants also within walking distance that specialize in any thing you might be craving; and finally Scooby Do's Ice Cream stand featuring a vast array of flavors and an even shorter walk from the boat. We'll definitely be back!
Overall a great place to stay. Staff is “superb”!
Helpful young staff, clean facilities. Had trouble docking 48' boat in 40' assigned slip bow in. Would have appreciated notice of short slip so ready to back in so gate would be next to dock.
Great marina. Close to shopping and restaurants. Dock hands were great!!
This is what a public facility should be. Organized and courteous staff, clean bathrooms, etc. Jim, the manager, is very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Many good restaurants nearby within short walking distance.
Jim is amazing, he checks on you and is more than accommodating on whatever you need. We love to go to Milford.
Great spot easy walk into town many restaurants to choose from glad it was recommended by friends who have been there. We will make a return trip
Wonderful stay- docks are relatively new, staff is very friendly and accommodating, facilities are clean with plentiful hot water for showers. The location is superb with excellent restaurants within a 10 minute walk. There is a well stocked ship’s store 5 minutes away that is open all year. They get busy on popular days so making a reservation a must.
This is a very protected marina so not a lot of movement at night. The town was walking distance. I only improvement I can think of is wifi
We had a wonderful stay. The marina staff is helpful and friendly. It is well-protected yet easy to get into from the Sound, has well-maintained floating docks, and is a short walk from the picturesque town center. Wi-FI would be a welcome addition.
Facility was great. Bathrooms are limited (1 and 1/2 baths)) but clean and sufficient. We were the the Saturday of Labor Day weekend so there was some late night partying! The town is so close and has restaurants, ice cream shops and more.
I would rate the marina 4.5 stars. We stayed on the east dock which is a hike to the bath facilities but was otherwise fine. Great dog walking area. Downside over here were the frequent fishermen on the dock and sightseers walking past our boat. Town seems to be thriving, lots of action and restaurants. Dock staff was helpful.
helpful upon arrival, everyone that worked there was very helpful as it was our first time staying there. All facilities were clean. Very happy with the marina.
Always a nice quiet marina with very helpful and pleasant staff. Need to add wifi for a better overall experience. Good restaurants a close walk
Quiet, serene ,great boating destination, a true waterfront gem. Happy and professional staff.
Perfect location. Steps away from downtown Milford with a variety of restaurants and shops. Dock staff very accommodating. Laundry (1 washer and 1 dryer) and ice. Free showers, pump out and water available. Could not have been a better place to stay.
I called and spoke with the staff at the marina on Wednesday july 28 and requested a slip on the East dock and was told one was available and to book thru dockwa. I made the reservation and on Thursday when approaching Milford was told I had space on the East dock due to a hold over. This morning I was told I had to relocate to a slip on the west side due to a promised spot on the east side. The only slip available didn’t have the depth required by our boat and we were forced to leave. I will not be returning to Milford.
Very happy. Courteous staff, clean showers & restrooms, easy access to rown & restaurants.
Clean facility, friendly staff, great location. Easy in and out.
Pleased that dock staff were prompt and helped us in. The bathrooms needed more attention—relaxing paper towels and toilet paper and emptying the trash. Everyone was pleasant and It is an easy walk to restaurants and ice cream.
Always above and beyond here. Great location nearby everything you might want without removing the small town feel.
Nice quiet spot, close to town and friendly staff.
Milford Landing Is like our home port away from home. We cruise over from City Point in West Haven and we visit Milford Landing 4-5 times a season. The marina is family oriented, the staff is always helpful and pleasant. Downtown Milford has so much to offer. The marina grounds are clean and the bathrooms are as well. They have accommodated all of our needs each time we were visiting. Milford Landing is a great spot for boaters.
great location ... electric and water easy ... short walk to lots of restaurants
Always love staying at Milford. Staff this year was best ever.
Excellent Marina! Very friendly staff. W@ok to town.
Stayed for 4 days. Excellent location easy clean. Good laundry. Dock master was very friendly and knowledgeable. Turns out he bought his sailboat close to us. We are from Annapolis area Great tips on the area. Bathrooms immaculate. Slips easy in and out floating docks with good electricity and water on pedestal. Walk to town 2 blocks. Boat ramp across the street active with an occasional idiot playing boom boom loud music but did not detract Stayed for years ago and would recommend and stay again .
Clean facility, nice safe docks, friendly staff.
We booked the dock for our 37’ sailboat and included our 6’ draft in the reservation. At first we pulled in to a dock by the office to pick up guests for a sail. While there we told the dockmaster we were concerned about the depth at the dock (25) that he designated for us. He assured us that it was even deeper there than where we were. That afternoon when we returned we went directly to 25. On the way our depth gauge even went to 4.5’! We were scraping the bottom! Needless to say we were very upset. BTW most of the docks were empty! There was no reason to send us all the way to the “beach.” They told us we could move to 7 which we did a few hours later during high tide. There really were no services other than dock, water and electric. The office closed at 4:30. Luckily we had worked out the move a few minutes before they all disappeared. We’ll use a different marina for our next visit to Milford.
Very quaint marina. Staff is friendly. Can walk to town with many restaurants. Have spent many years there during fireworks display for 4th of July and can sit right on your boat for a fantastic view.
Milford landing is so perfect for a quick two night stay. Located in safe area great food all walking distance. Management and dockhands have always been great. Already have a reservation for this July
I love this place! Been here numerous times and plan to continue to go back. Clean facility, steps to town and restaurants, always some sort of entertainment going on close by. Staff meets you to tie up and are very professional!
My family has been going to Milford Landing for over 30 years. As kids we always went on my fathers boat and never missed the Milford Oyster Festival! As we got older and became boat owners ourselves, we started joining our father and traveled from our marina together. Milford Landing has always had the most hospitable staff. Dock hands always greet us upon arrival with a smile, help with anything we need. The facilities are clean and easily accessible. Being located in downtown Milford also allows for a lot of fun, but to be honest we hardly leave the dock!
A jewel on the Sound! Milford Landing is the only municipal-run transient marina in the Connecticut shoreline. It is a first class facility with new Ipe docks, plenty of power and even pump-out. You can easily walk to town to shop and enjoy the many restaurants and bars...Or even Uber or walk to one of the beautiful beaches...And check out the rates!!...No reason not to check it out for a weekend...You will be back!!
