What a great 3 days we had. Nothing like 3 perfect, sunny days in Watch Hill in October. It hit 80 degrees! John, the Dockmaster at Watch Hill Docks was great. Very helpful and great conversations. Many of the shops on Bay St were closed, but enough open for my wife to buy a new bathing suit on sale! Uber’d to a great restaurant called Cinder and had a pizza delivered the second night. Great run out to Napatree point. A real gift to have 3 days like this in October.

Very nice Dockmaster. I will be back.

Didn't go due to weather, and believe we should have a refund. There were no boats at the dock, and our cancellation certainly didn't impact anyone who wanted the spot on the dock.

Great location and access to Watch Hill.

For what it is...old school! It was great! No rest toom or showers is not cool even though we have our own. The harbormaster is awsome. Being in the middle of town is the real attraction!

Great spot! Beautiful harbor, right in town, walk to everything! Dockmaster was very nice and very helpful! We will return!

Great stay met by John who helped us tie up.location is fabulous close walk to beach and shops.
One issue we had was there is no cable hook up and WiFi did not work tried many times different ways. In this day in age and for what we are paying they should get it fixed

We stayed at Watch Hills Docks for the second time this season, and enjoyed ourselves so much that we scheduled a third visit. We love the location and the staff.

Although they don't have many amenities like shower or laundry, The location is supreme. You are right in the downtown retail area. Walking distance to great beaches! Will be returning in the future.

A nice marina in the middle of everything. A beautiful area for relaxing and enjoying the Rhode Island coast. The view from the lighthouse is spectacular. I suggest a minimum two day stay. The marina staff were great. Thank you for your hospitality.

Terrific dock and dock master. A little tricky in and out if slip with pilings. But Dick master was right there helping us in.

John, the Dockmaster, always takes great care of us!
by Christopher R. - Verified user on Sep 12, 2022
Dock is well maintained with plenty of room. John the Dockmaster could not be nicer and more helpful! Watch Hill is a quaint little village with some really nice shops. We enjoyed our lunch at the Anchor restaurant and had a splendid dinner & evening at the Ocean House, a must see when visiting Watch Hill.
by Tab H. - Verified user on Aug 08, 2022
The Watch Hill Docks are in a good location. I don't care much for the main office staff. John, the senior guy at the dock is very attentive and helped us out. This is a good place for a couple of nights where you can visit two different beaches. The docks are across from the 2 block street full of boutiques. Food is limited with one nice restaurant (Olympia Tea), bakery, deli, counter ice cream / grill place and a small sandwich / bar sit down restaurant. There is also the upscale Ocean House for fine dining that was very good

10/3/2021 We had another great stay at Watch Hill Docks. Jimthe dockmaster is awesome. He guided us easily into our slip and got us squared away with power and a recommendation for dinner and the beaches. This is an awesome spot but should note they have no facilities. We had dinner at the Olympia Tea Room which was awesome. We definitely will be coming back in 2022.

Watch Hill Docks were just what we were looking for in a short visit. Both Dockmen were helpful & the town is right there with a great restaurant Olympia’s Tea Room.
by Patrick D. - Verified user on Sep 14, 2021
Great trip. My only complaint is that there are no restrooms or showers. It’s definitely a one night stay unless you have great shower on your boat…..we do not.

Great little boat basin right in the middle of town with a very short walk to a beach. No amenities. But, if you are self contained, it is perfect.

What an incredibly welcoming and helpful staff! They were extremely professional and did require notation of every guest in case it is necessary for contact tracing. If you want to be in the thick of watch hill, this is the spot!

No showers and toilets, no hoses on the docks. $150 per night is too expensive for a marina with none of the basic amenities you would expect. The dock master is very nice and helpful.
by James C. - Verified user on Jun 15, 2020
This is one of our favorite locations. It’s such a pretty town and it’s so relaxing. John and Jim take great care of Watch Hill Docks. Staying with them is like staying with family. The location is key to enjoying every part of time including the beaches. We highly recommend this marina for any length of stay. John and Jim will take great care of you and you will have a great experience.

Very expensive, especially for midweek after Labor Day. No head, no showers. Power and water available. Dock personnel were great.
We will not return because of cost.
by RIta L. - Verified user on Sep 23, 2019
We enjoyed our stay here. Jim help us tie up and was helpful and pleasant; convenient location into town however it is surprising for the dockage cost, that there are no toilet or shower facilities available, only water and power.

Great place, but be sure you bring plenty of dock lines and long ones. Fender boards are a help. The docks are fixed and a slightly unusual set-up with finger piers not perpendicular to the main dock. There are no cleats so all lines go around poles. The dockmaster is very helpful, and knows the best tie, but you will need more gear than you are used to if you are normally at a floating dock with cleats.
