Wickford was a great stay. The town is charming and the clam chowder excellent! We stayed on a mooring ball managed by the Wickford Yacht Club and Chuck was great. We did have to Uber over 3 miles to get to the Stop n Shop grocery store but it had everything one could ask for. 8 miles northwest of Newport, a great place to get away from the Newport craziness.

Rented a mooring there to leave my boat for a week while on a business trip. The moorings are all well protected inside the breakwater and inside the no wake zone. The dinghy docks are very well designed for easy in and out.

Quiet, Peaceful Mooring. Good pricing, great people. If we are coming back this way this will be our spot in RI. Thanks for everything Chuck!

Mooring assigned in advance so can directly tie up without radioing in and waiting. Club steward came by to see if we had questions on area. Always a pleasant stay.

Club manager Chuck was very helpful. Club showers were clean and water was hot. It was a short dinghy trip from mooring field to Club. Mooring field is well protected by jetties. Wickford village is very quaint with several shops and restaurants. We had a very enjoyable 2 night stay. Thank you.

Wickford Yacht Club was very welcoming and accommodating, we were able to use their porch area for a gathering. Hope to return soon!

This is a great stop. Perfect for a deep draft vessel. Chuck and Pam were so kind. They came out to the boat to welcome us and answer any questions. Wickford is such a lovely town too. A must stop at on your New England trip.

Great spot to hole up for a day of downpours - very clean & most accommodating and friendly. Wickford a great stop for fresh fish (Gardners) and exploring - particularly for us as the family behind the Sea View Trolley Line.

Fantastic place! I wish I had come here sooner. Chuck is a gem and proactively called me to check on my late arrival. He secured me a mooring that was easy to find in the dark. The club was super clean and the town cute as a button. I would love to be a member there!

We enjoyed our stay on a mooring for the weekend. We had a beautiful view of the bay. The Yacht Club was very nice and the facilities where very clean ! We are looking forward to our next visit.

It’s always lovely staying here. Love the fact that Chuck checks in when we arrive to be sure all is okay! We’ll be back!

Pretty basic but club and town are a bit away from the moorings (not that anyone else is closer). Visiting clubhouse is off limits for guests (except bathrooms) so there is no opportunity to socialize.

Went to duck out of strong SW winds. Well suited for that purpose. Very accommodating Club. Chuck, the Steward was so helpful. He made sure we were comfortable and the boat secure on the moorings. Also gave us good advice on solving a dinghy motor issue. We added this to one of our list of favorite cruising stops
