From the dock master to the operation manager, the staff here were beyond helpful and accommodating when we had to change our course due to bad weather and need a transient slip 30min before closing. The absolute nicest bathroom/laundry facility we've seen on both coasts. Definitely would stop here again on future visits.

Marina Response:

Thank you very much for the review Joshua, we were incredibly happy to be a part of your maiden voyage. Wishing you many adventures this season and hope to see you again!

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at this marina! The dock team was fabulous — as were the bathrooms and restaurant. We fell in love with the town as well!

Marina Response:

Thank you, Jon! We’re so glad you had a great time and hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic service, harbor crew were top notch, Great restaurant (Sail Loft) right at the marina and other options within walking distance. But as a full service marina, the team went above and beyond on some much needed work we had them do….knowledgeable, took the time to help us sort out some instrument issues, rates were incredibly reasonable. I’m not one to write reviews - one way or the other - but this was a pleasure to write! Rich V.

Marina Response:

Thank you, Rich, we truly appreciate your kind words! We’re thrilled that you had such a positive experience and that our team was able to get everything running smoothly for you. Safe travels until next time!

South Wharf was a great place to stay. Very quiet and calm in the slip. We lived Padanaram village and the restraint on site was great too. Bathrooms were very nice and the dock staff was very helpful. Wi-Fi never worked for us, but not the end of the world in any way.

Marina Response:

Thanks, Stephen! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay and Padanaram Village! We appreciate your feedback on the Wi-Fi and will look into it. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We appreciate the kind words, Marc! Safe travels until your next visit to South Wharf!
