We have used this Marina as transients numerous times and are always pleased. The standout aspect is the attitude and service they provide. John is the Dockmaster and he could not be nicer. They know you even when you only come in once or twice a season. We love the area to walk and they have a wonderful outdoor food venue as well as a full service restaurant. Floating protected docks with good power—you can’t beat it!! Mark/Ravello

Lovely marina. My favorite floating docks as they are nice and high so I did not need a step to get on and off my sailboat (high freeboard). Great ship's store and boutique. Great Galley cafe with awesome view of Norwalk River/Harbor. Only downside was that the dryer died just after I put a load of wash in, but with the great breeze we hung a clothesline and dried in the cockpit of our boat. A short walk to Nik's, a 40+ year favorite from when we lived nearby. So sad Nik's is closing after this season.

Laura, thank you for the kind words despite your inconvenience with laundry. We hope to see you again soon and you keep us in mind after Nik's closes!

Very nice people. Our reception was flawless with a quick and helpful response from the dock master and crew who put us in a lovely spot. Pretty, well manicured grounds that felt secure with clean bathrooms. There’s a cute cafe good for breakfast and lunch and places to grill. Within easy walking distance is a nice beach, shady park, a well-kept mini golf course and two restaurants. The on-site shop is spacious and has a nice selection of boating tools and gear as well as the gifty stuff. If you need a supermarket of any kind, this will require a taxi.

This place is great! My first visit was for the Norwalk Bot Show- they’re outfitted with four travel lifts, a great ship store, small cafe and a HUGE fuel dock! Today I had an axopar I sold to a local client, launched there, fueled up and it was a flawless process- such a pleasure to work with these guys! Even with these covid 19 / corona pandemic restrictions, the staff was pleasant and super professional!

Our first time here.... thought Norwalk would be much more commercial (similar to Stamford and Bridgeport) because of the large power plant which is an eyesore. But in reality it's quite recreational and pretty. Very friendly & helpful staff. Nice marine store and surrounding area. Many services onsite for maintenance or repair needs. Would definitely come back again.
