Outstanding marina. Cannot say enough good things about the staff. Needed an engine repair at 4pm and they came right down. Had it diagnosed in minutes. Next morning the parts department had the parts!!!

The staff was very helpful and prompt. A nice surprise since it is off-season. Alex was working the fuel dock, and also gave me a shuttle ride to the grocery store. Definitely a well-kept facility.

One of my favorite tranisent marinas on the Sound. Friendly faminly-run marina. Very well maintained with more amenities than any other I've been to. Constant improvements and upgrade are obvious. Quiet and very calm harbor. Easy to see how they alway win awards as a top marina.

This was our first stay here and we truly enjoyed it. The staff is excellent and very accommodating. The docks are in excellent shape. The pool is fantastic with entertainment each afternoon on the weekend, a snack bar serving breakfast and lunch. The bathrooms and showers were spotless. There is a restaurant on site and shuttle to town.
There are two things that I would mention but not game changers. There are gates to get in the parking lot but you can walk right around them and there no gates with codes at the top of the docks as there are in the pool and bathrooms. So anyone can get on the docks so be aware. Also the boaters travel quite fast in and out if the docks with no horn blasts or warnings. Saw a few dangerous situations.
That being said, it was a great 4 days and we will definitely be back. This was our first time but definitely not our last

Dock attendants were plentiful and very helpful. Our club was 13 sailboats at this point in our cruise and the marina was very acccommodating. Most of us were attached to their T docks. We ate at a local restaurant near the marina. Relatively long wait but good food. We were off the next day for Port Jeff. We would likce to visit Cedar Island again.

Great staff, beautiful property and nice amenities. If you draw more than 5ft, I recommend coming in at high tide. The channel into Clinton is very shallow. We read .5ft at one point, about an hour before low tide. We ate at Liv's Dockside Grill right down the street. Good burgers and fries.
by Carter P. - Verified user on Jul 11, 2022
The marina was beautiful, the staff, excellent.
Numerous restaurants to choose from. My only issue was the allowance of political signs. Some marina's, Strong's, in Mattituck, NY for instance, do know allow any political signs to be flown. I think that is a great policy, because, people like to forget about certain things when they are trying to enjoy themselves.

The world is a better place because of the owners and staff at Cedar Island Marina. We were transients, schedule to stay one night at the marina to continue our journey home to FL. During the night my wife fell inside our boat and seriously injured herself. The staff and owners at the marina loaned us their car, helped us find a hospital and allowed us to stay as long as needed for her recovery. We were their 3 Weeks... They were closing the marina! They never hesitated in letting us stay and made us feel like family! We needed work done to the boat and we used their staff to coordinate. The work was first rate and we could not be happier. The marina is clean, walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants. The marine store is well stocked and had most of the parts I needed in stock and if not they could order them. We will be back as they made a horrible situation for us turn into a true testament of kindness and professionalism that made us loyal clients for life.

We came on our 32' searay and had unexpected engine issues. I just wanted to thank Teddy and the service department for their prompt attention to us so that we could resume our trip.

This marina was top notch. The pool was awesome complete with a snack bar, burgers sandwiches wings ect, live music and crafts for the kids. The kids play area was awesome but we were so busy at the pool my kids didn’t play in the area. Showers were clean staff was very nice. I didn’t realize just how big of a marina it was, and the walk from the dock to the pool was a bit of a walk but totally fine. I think I will pack sneakers for next time but we will totally go back next season. My kids loved it and we had a great time

Mostly good, except for the homesteaders on F dock who claim their territory with couches, chairs, and dogs, partying loudly til late, trying to intimidate those walking through their party area, and not controlling the dogs, one of which attacked my leashed dog as I walked through.
Dock hands were VERY good.

Easy access to fuel and pump out. Well stocked ship’s store on property. Grocery a 1-1/2 away. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Cedar Island Marina. It was just for one night so we didn’t see everything that was available. The restaurant on site was very busy but the staff was prompt and the food was tasty.
The channel was well marked, our draft is 5 feet so the Dockmaster advised us to enter at high tide. Luckily our timing was on and we arrived about an hour before and we had plenty of water under the boat. The channel is close to the fuel dock so stay to starboard and the boats on mornings to port on the way in.
I’m happy to have stayed and will return again.
Call ahead the marina staff is very helpful!

This is a great Marina that is very family oriented. They have a great pool and grilling area. The dock staff is awesome and very responsive. The facilities are in excellent shape and very clean.

I was very impressed with Ted from the mechanical department. He is by far one of the most knowledgable mechanics I have ever met.

The dock boy Alex, couldnt have been nicer and was very professional.

The place is clean and well organized. Pity that we had various neighboring (and raucous) long-term slip holders partying, with music blasting, until 12am, when we had to kindly ask the noisiest of them to continue the party elsewhere, given that we had a toddler and a 5-year old on board. As a marina that promotes itself as being family-oriented, I’d expect stricter rules on late-night noise or a designated, quieter area for transients.
Marina Response:
Hi, We are very sorry to hear your experience with the loud music. It is always hard to manage exactly what is appropriate for noise on a weekend, but music until midnight is clearly not appropriate. I would appreciate it if we could get some more information as to who exactly it was so we can address it and prevent it in the future. If you could please email me at [email protected]by Bob S. - Verified user on Aug 22, 2020
Fantastic staff. Some of the facilities are a little older, but very well kept. The pool area and fitness center looked brand new. They will take you anywhere in the Town of Clinton you want for free with a courtesy shuttle bus - you need to ask the main office for a ride. Approach was a little narrow, but well marked and very deep

by Jason K. - Verified user on Oct 26, 2019
They were short staffed because it was the off-season, but I called them 20 minutes before I came in and they had a very nice employee from their service staff down there to give me a hand. Their off-season rate is very good and even though it was a little wet from the rainfall, the bathrooms were immaculate. The Town of Clinton does not have a lot to do, but it is very quaint and pretty and certainly worth a walk. It is about a 10 minute walk into town from the marina, it is flat and through a very cute neighborhood. Their shuttle bus is not running, but on request someone from the office picked us up in the center of town.

Would have given 5 stars if they weren't short-staffed for the holiday weekend. Although the staff were very nice and helpful, they use a lot of college-age persons to run the show and as a result of school having already begun, some amenities were closed like the pool side snack-bar Also, they have charcoal grills for transients, but don't sell or provide charcoal which makes it impossible to grill unless you go shopping in town, which they did offer to provide transportation. The pool is advertised as heated, but definitely wasn't above 80 degrees, which made it refreshing but a bit tough to get into.
The restaurant on site is excellent and fairly priced, but plan on a wait during the dinner hours as they don't take reservations. Local marina folks are very friendly for the most part and very willing to lend you a grill or take a line during landing.
All in all, great marina with just about anything anyone could want. I'd definitely go back again with my own charcoal and fluid.

We visited Cedar Island marina for the first time last week aboard our 29' cruiser named "Freedom." We had heard good things about the marina from one of our boater friends and decided to go see it for ourselves. Cedar Island was the last stop for us in this year's boating vacation following earlier stops in Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, Mystic Seaport, Essex and Old Lyme. Upon arriving at the slip we were greeted and assisted by a very friendly dockhand Vinny and a dock neighbor who helped us get situated in our slip.
We found the docks to be in excellent condition as was the AC power quality and WiFi signal strength. The pool and bathrooms were very clean and well maintained as was every aspect of the marina we encountered. Dockmaster Marc was very courteous and helpful when it was time to check out and seemed genuinely interested in our opinion of the business.
It is very difficult for me to think of anything the marina should improve. We will definitely be visiting Cedar Island marina again!

This marina is tucked away behind the Cedar Island peninsula (I was told it used to be an island). It is one of the most pretty, "New Englandy" feeling areas that we have been to. We berthed for two nights during the week and found the facilities and personnel to be top notch. We will come back

My boat information clearly indicates a draft of 6’. I was assigned a slip with a low tide depth of 5’. I told the dock master upon tying up and he just said that that was the only slip he could give me. Bottom was mud/sand so I was able to stay, but had to time my departure at 7:00am so as to be able to get out.
I don’t think this is acceptable.
Marina Response:
Hi Juan,
On behalf of Cedar Island Marina, I would like to apologize about your stay with us. The last soundings we did in October showed 7.2’ of water in this slip at MLW. We went and physically stuck it today and it is showing 6.1’ at MLW meaning that it shoaled in a lot more than we were aware of. When you originally stated that you were unhappy with this slip, we did offer to have you move farther out, which you declined. We should have put you into that slip first, but again our records indicated that slip should have been ok for you. You are correct that all of the material in our basin is very soft and fluffy silt, there are no rocks. So while this situation would not have caused any damage to your vessel, I do understand the anxiety and unhappiness that was caused by it. Please accept our apology and I have also gone ahead and rebated you 50% of your dockage, which may take a few days to process on Dockwa. – Kris Shapiro, General Managerby Lee S. - Verified user on Jun 24, 2019

We spent a very enjoyable night at Cedar Island - just a stop-over on our way up Long Island Sound. The entrance channel is a little scary at first because there are no buoys shown on the chart, but in fact it's well marked and we had no problem coming in or out.
I called the marina on the VHF on our way in and they came right up with detailed directions to our slip. Sean was waiting for us at the dock to help with lines & shore-tie as well as information about the marina and the local area.
This is a nice marina with floating docks that are in good condition, a friendly & helpful staff, in a well protected harbor. We'd definitely stop there again.

I’m not one to usually take the time to write a review, but Cedar Island Marina isn’t just another marine. We’ve been there a few times before to stay with our boat and always had a great time and the staff has always been so nice! This time we stopped and stayed the night because of rough seas on our way back from Block and we had a diagnostic alarm going off on one of our motors. Not only were they accommodating with a slip, but Dave in the service department came right down to the boat to see what was going on. He then came back the next morning to replace 2 bad sensors. This guy and this place are the nicest we have ever encountered in our 5 years of boating. I highly recommend making Cedar Island Marina a stop at some point during your trip!! Tim & Dani Moore

Marina was very nice, Heated Pool, Hot Tub with music on Saturday. Awesome french fries at the snack stand at the pool. Aqua restaurant on property was really good food with a great connected ice cream shop.
Local Knowledge, the first 3 sets of buoys as you enter from the sound, stay close to the Red Buoys when entering and leaving shoaling near the green buoys.
Walked the town of Clinton not much there, only a couple of Antique stores.

We had a lovely stay at Cedar Island Marina. We are very appreciative of the extra care the staff took with us. These guys do it right!

I came here with a friend last weekend and am amazed at how we didn't know of this place before. We met a wonderful shuttle bus driver named Glady's whom my father in law loved. She took us up the street to the stores in town entertaining us throughout the whole ride. We had a great stop here and will absolutely be back

One of the cleanliest, most well kept marinas we have been to. Bathrooms were immaculate. Docks are in very good shape and easy to pull up to. Dock hands were professional and well trained. Pool and Jacuzzi was clean and operational. Well run.

Approach into the marina is one the most beautiful we have done. The channel is a little narrow, but its well marked and plenty deep. The employees are all around great and made us feel very welcome. There is a lot to do at the marina and there is some good shopping at the Clinton Crossing Mall.

A fantastic stay. The staff was very good and the live music at the pool was great. We will be back

Has all you need: pool, bathrooms, ship store, baci court, etc. Docks are a bit old and worn but functional. Very nice facility overall. Not much to look at since the entire length of the waterfront is parking lot. Had a great meal at Aqua with a super view. Would come back here again.

Cedar Island Marina is a first rate marina. We stayed here over their Calypso weekend and could not have been happier with our stay. I cannot say enough good things about their dock staff. Dock hand Sean could not have been any more helpful-he was able to re-arrange the days dock plan to accommodate us on with our group. When greeted at the slip it was obvious he knew what he doing because he handled our lines with ease and was able to get us in the slip easily (even told me husband which engines to back in with!) They have a great pool, and staff that runs it! It feels as if the employees want to be there, everyone was so friendly. Would 100% recommend staying here!

We came in during a storm and the dock attendant did a great job. The off season rates here are very good. The Town doesn't have a lot to do, but it is very pretty and "New Englandy".

Normally, with its great restaurant, pool, laundry, ship's store, etc., I would give the place 5 stars. However, when I arrived (I had a reservation) the fuel dock was abandoned and nobody responded to radio calls. I docked myself and was told that since it was after Labor Day, all of their staff either were calling in sick or went back to school. They at least reduced the dockage rate.

Best place ever! Sean and Al are so nice. We stopped over in Mid August and they were so helpful.

Very courteous staff. Clean facilities. Skinny entry in low tides. Follow the markers favoring the reds.

Thank you very much for the kind review. For anyone reading this, he is correct there has been some shoaling on the green side between 3 and 5. There is very deep water on the red side still (8' at MLW) between 4 and 6 though so stay red. The rest of the channel is fine. We are currently in the process of trying to get the shoaled in area dredged for the winter. Also, the shoaled in area is all silt and sand, no rocks.by Anonymous on Jul 31, 2017
Very nice stopover while traveling through Long Island Sound

I honestly made an account just to review this marina. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I had some problems with my boat and the mechanic Teddy dropped his other jobs to take care of us. I have been boating my whole life and I think he is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable mechanics I have ever met. Everything else at this marina is nice too. The rest of the staff, the grounds, the view from the dock - all A++ - Bernard Joshings, Norwalk, CT

Great place. Fantastic amenities.

We come to this marina every year in our 40ft Silverton. The staff is exceptionally nice and helpful while the facilities are very well kept and clean. Its a perfect midpoint between Newport and where we live (just outside of NYC).

Lots of room, nice docks, good amenities. All the basics are here.
