We had a great stay. Ducking in to avoid some very high northerly winds. Staff were very accommodating and launch service was the best.

We love staying on a mooring with Oldport Marine Services, they are very accommodating, answer any questions you may have very quickly, and will work with you to help with any changes you may need. Beautiful views of the harbor & easy into downtown Newport.

Been keeping boats on moorings for forty years and had them install a new Yanmar. They are wonderful people. Diesel Mike is the best mechanic around.

Great place to stay. When the weather got rough they moved us to a more secure spot closer to the harbour. Thank you.

We had an OUTSTANDiNG time during our Newport Stay! The sunset was phenomenal! The service outstanding! We will definitely be returning!

Reservation was easy and confirmed within the hour. The first mooring we tried to pick up was fouled and we could not lift the lines out of the water to moor. A quick radio chat got us another mooring within about a minute, then we saw a launch driver attending to the fouled mooring we tried to pick up. Very professional.

Easy to reserve especially this time of year, professional and courteous launch operators promptly helped with everything I needed to know about the area when I had questions. Massive bridle mooring rodes will handle boats much larger than mine.

Wonderful stay for the afternoon in Newport Harbor. The launch was so easy to contact and quickly picked us up as well as brought us back to our boat.

Great city even if a bit too touristic. Mooring of good quality. Very close to town. Water dock available anytime. Wish communication was easier. No info for newcomers without asking.

Great customer service. We tied to a mooring that is in perfect shape and appropriate for the size of our boat. The launch crew were all friendly and helpful.

by Kevin M. - Verified user on Sep 25, 2025
We were lucky to get a mooring for one night at the beginning of the boat show. It was fun to just sit on the boat and watch the action. The launch was quick to respond even on a busy weekend.

Great service. Wish I could have had multiple nights on the same mooring though. Was at least accommodated elsewhere on another mooring. I assume they limit the nights on the close in moorings.

by Gwen S. - Verified user on Sep 21, 2025
The staff was very friendly, and accommodating, and assisted us with obtaining parts for our boat. The Tender greeted us at the mooring to indicate which one was ours. The mooring and lines were in very good condition. They took our waste antifreeze.
