    Best docks in the Long Island Sound (by a long way). This is a new development and pricing is still very reasonable. Great restaurant. Dock master Robert is super nice and accommodating.

    Great club. Easy in/out for a stop over going further east or returning back into Long Island sound. Staff is friendly. Bathrooms are clean. Club offers a bar and restaurant. A short walk to Breakwater (restaurant next door). The famous Dog Watch Cafe is a 15 minute walk away through town. Many other restaurants to try in town. NOTE: Only the Dog Watch Cafe is open on Mondays. All other restaurants are closed.

    Stayed here for protection from storm "Elsa" in July 2021. We were well protected and the storm was not an issue. Friendly and helpful staff. Everyone at the dock were super nice. The only reason for 4 stars were the bathrooms which were clean, but dated and not at the same level as we experienced at other marinas.

    I stayed here (mooring) in July 2021. The July 4th fireworks were amazing. The town parade is fantastic and an awesome experience. Great club. Newly rebuild after a fire a few years back. Facilities are clean. Everyone was friendly. The launch will run you across to town. The harbor is exposed from the south and it can get a little bouncy if the wind picks up.

    We stayed here on moorings in July 2021. Moorings are on a first come basis and arriving before 11 in the morning (especially over a weekend) is the only way to secure a spot. The staff is friendly and will assist with finding your mooring. Many moorings are seasonal, but rented when the owners are away. The owners returned on an earlier date to the mooring we were assigned. Old Port found us another mooring even after all moorings were rented. The launch services was good given the large amount of moorings they serve.

    Stayed here on July 6-7, 2021. The docks are very well maintained. The restrooms are clean and some of the best in Narragansett bay. Friendly and helpful staff. The fuel and pumpout is at the same dock. We used our dinghy (vs. walking) to visit the town (free dinghy tie up). We will definitely visit again.
