Safe Harbor Cove Haven

First-rate service and hospitality throughout, from booking and confirmation; to re-confirmation days before arrival; to personal call from dock master Kenny the morning of our visit, describing in detail guidance into the harbor and directions to pier-aisle and to assigned slip; to friendly greeting on arrival; to good guidance on appropriate local restaurants; to WiFi hookup and clubhouse access; and to uber-clean, functional, and even stylish shore heads and clubhouse lounge. A seasoned sailor can tell that DM Kenny knows a lot about guest services; cares about the boater and her experience; and trains his staff well. Recommend without qualification to all. P.S.—given marina location, there is no easy walking access to groceries, but the immediate access to walking/bike trails makes up for that.

Beautiful spot. Our slip on AA dock was perfect with shore power and fresh water right off transom. Friendly staff and excellent facilities very well maintained multiple times per day over 4th of July holiday. Our first stay at safe harbors…if this is the norm, makes me wonder what I’m missing.

We had a boat delivered to Newport in the spring and needed a marina for 6 weeks until we moved the boat north. We worked with the dockmaster, Kenny, who was extremely helpful and quickly found a solution for us. Kenny's support helped make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Made a Dockwa reservation, and as always got an immediate response. Kenny provided our slip assignment the day before arriving. This was awesome as the weather was very windy and we arrived after closing time, as we decided to wait until the wind calmed down. Dockmaster Kenny as always checked in on us, provided all the necessary information. He is clearly the main reason this Safe Harbor is as nice as it is, we have been to many, this is far superior to all the others. Safe Harbor has an extremely valuable asset at this location, his name is Kenny. Looking forward to returning!!! -Ron/Melissa

Great accommodations and facilities, and the staff are all great. Super friendly and helpful.

Great location and amenities

Clean friendly marina.

Friendly and helpful staff! Beautiful new clubhouse and firepits!! The slips and fairways are wide and easy to navigate!!

Great stay, as always!

Cove Haven Marina is a well-maintained facility in a safe location with minimal currents. The staff is friendly, and the marina includes a nice pool. Good restaurants in Barrington and Warren as a short drive away.

The facility is very nice. Nice docks (newer, CLEAN, and orderly). Really nice clubhouse & pool area...Brand new! grills, firepit, even a water park area in the pool area that kids of ALL ages were enjoying. Oh, and Kenny the Dockmaster... Second to None!...and there are some good ones out there! Sent slip info the day before our arrival as we were comimg in late.. ! We'll be back.

It was wonderful. Kenny could not have been more accommodating and helpful. The facility is beautiful. So close to the bike path. Definitely recommend Cove Haven.

Stayed one night as transient. Surprised by beautiful pool and clubhouse. Crew was friendly. Pete the manager was super helpful by finding me a local shop that could replace trailer wheel bearing.

Great hustle by Kenny at the dock. Clean and sparkly shower facilities too.

Outstanding Marina! The dock masters Kenny and Mike are great! Facility is top notch! Can’t wait to go back! Thanks again, Dan D.

Horrible …big time attitude, unfriendly, unhelpful. In 70 years I’ve never been treated so badly especially considering I pay $6000 for the treatment

great stay would recommend

High night hhhvbb hhhv

Awesome marina, great place to stay.

Great staff and location

I had several engine, painting fiberglass jobs done on my 43' catamaran. Everyone I worked with was good with both communication and technical work. Brad was an instructive, hard worker on the engine with a great attitude. Chris and Dave managed projects effectively and ahead of schedule. I overwintered in the water with a bubbler. The facilities and docks were solid, clean and well maintained. Kenny runs a tight ship on the docks and was a huge help to my transition in and out and being sure the boat was in good hands.

We love the dock staff but the office staff is anything but top notch. We asked for an estimate for damage done to our boat at their marina on several occasions over a months time, our insurance company would like it so that they can send out an estimator, but nobody ever got back to us. They would have made money pulling out our boat and doing the work, we will bring our boat home and have our yard profit. On another occasion nobody could find out car keys, they turned up after a 20" search. The "guys" all seem to stand around and chat. On 2 occasions I came in with a question and 2 men were chatting amicably they looked up and then continued their chatting, I had to ask my question. I found this rude and unprofessional. Two thumbs down to Cove Haven. When we leave in 2 days time we will not return.

We had a very nice stay to visit friends but the kicker was how helpful Dave and Nathan were in repairing our generator from its “won’t start” condition. It was a tricky diagnostic problem involving a short circuit but they persisted and had it repaired the same day. Nice going guys.

Very good marina. Great, well protected location, tremendous value, large staff was very helpful. Nice pool on site and they have pretty new gas grills with utensils and filled propane tanks. Docks are all in tremendous shape. Somewhat dated, but clean bathrooms and showers. All in all, a great week's stay working remotely with good wifi.

Usable internet- a rarity in my experience. Particularly enjoyed that all my devices auto-connected since not my first time at safe harbor. Michael, dock guy, was easy going and courteous- nice clean maintained facility.
