Docks are old and need to be replaced. Crooked all year long, amenities are lacking in a big way, personnel tough to deal with

Marina Response:

We appreciate your feedback and your business. We are working on our docks during the off season.

Seasonal dockage client Customer Service lacking No management presence at Windward and Hilton Marinas on day to day basis Dock Hands not trained and unavailable after mid August (back to college for entire crew) Yard equipment in poor repair Low priority on dock security Novice boaters not aided and instructed about the hazards of the river putting other boats at risk of collision damage Excellent location.

Marina Response:

We appreciate your feedback and your business. For the 2025 season, we are planning on having dock hands daily during the summer months and on the weekends through October.

The gate didn’t lock, there was two by fours put up for a fence by the entrance way AND the main bathroom and shower water was shut off?

Marina Response:

We appreciate your feedback, we have installed new gate security.

All good except the parking at Windward. The spaces up front by the yellow crane have been continually blocked the last couple of years by piles or rock, mooring blocks, 50’ masts, old dock sections, the shed, etc. This is an easy fix but it’s crazy that these valuable spaces are taken up by things that could easily be stored elsewhere. Please move them!!

Windward Marina and the other Newburyport Marinas are convenient and I enjoy using their services. Excellent restaurants a short walk away

Thank you Matthew!

Windward Yatch Yard is absolutely the worst marina I have ever been associated with in my 30 years of boating. The dock are unsafe, the power is unreliable averages 95 Volt at my boat I can’t even run my AC, the WiFi does not work, they don’t have bock hands, you can’t get ice, the restrooms are not cleaned regularly, they are over price for the lack of amenities they DO NOT OFFER.

Marina Response:

I am sorry you had such a negative experience with us. We have spent all summer updating many features of the marina and electric will be all updated by next season. As for dockhands, most are high school or college kids and can't work before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. Ice is always available if you pull into our fuel dock.

About Windward Yacht Yard

Windward Yacht Yard is just 3 miles from the mouth of the Merrimack with 160 slips and moorings. A & B docks are located on the west side of the Route 1 Bridge, while C & D docks are located east of the bridge.

Enjoy the many marina amenities to relax after a long day on the water, such as visiting the clubhouse, allowing our dock attendants to assist with docking and delivering ice to your boat, watching cable television, and using the laundry facilities.
