We enjoyed our late season stay at South Wharf. Jilani Brooks, the dock master, was there to greet us and was very helpful. Nice dinner at Little Moss and breakfast at Farm and Coast Market. Padanarum is one our favorite ports.

What a Gem! First impressions when dock hands met us to assist with tie up, shore power, info and brought us a bag of ice! Clean, modern Facility. Great onsite restaurant. Dock hands were the best we encountered during our 10 day trip. Restrooms immaculate, great laundry facility!

Classic old yard where Concordia sailboats were made. Now modernized. Great services, experienced courteous staff. For any vessel over 45', best to know your boathandling well.

Great marina, nestled right next door to the New Bedford Yacht Club. Easy to get in and out of, the staff is great. The bathrooms were amazing, A/C in them made for a great end of the day shower. Highly recommend and will definitely be back next year for the clubs regatta.

We spent 2 nights at a slip which were sublime from all accounts. From the moment we received our welcome introduction which was notably authentic, professional and courteous to the shove off and good wishes. Jilani the dockmaster brings a new level of service and hospitality which we appreciated so much. Thank you

One of the best yards I have experienced! I have been in the marine industry over 30 years and this is one of the cleanest and most helpful yards I have every been to. We stayed for my sons Regatta and the dockmaster and her staff couldn't have been more helpful! Awesome place to stay.

South Wharf,, great facility and great docks. Right downtown. Close to restaurants and ice cream. Great showers and heads. Good electrical power pedestals. Would certainly go back. Docking staff needs training to help with docking. No restaurants open Monday and Tuesday. Harbor master provides boat side pump out

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We've added new power since your last visit. We hope you return for another visit.

I grew up in Padanaram but hadn't been back in decades. What a treat! South Wharf staff was great, village has great eating options. Special place. We'll be back!

by Jennifer b. on Jul 05, 2023
Amazing wharf, excellent and responsive dock master and staff and some of the nicest showers I have seen at a Marina!

by Robert K. - Verified user on May 29, 2023
The wifi was not good. No service for the entire stay. I suggest they eliminate the need for a password. Also, this time, the password was something like this: HapPyoUrs. It was hand written in our (nice) welcome package, making it difficult to get it right. Make the password simple please or eliminate it. Otherwise, excellent service. Highly sheltered docks. Nice village.
