We'll be looking forward to the next visit Erik. Thank you again very much!by Brooks W. - Verified user on Jul 15, 2026
We absolutely love the Black Dog Wharf. We are long term returning customers and can't wait for our next trip to the Black Dog Wharf. Morgan and Brook operate a great Marina. They are always on hand to help at arrival with tie up and help at departure. They immediately tie on your boat there marina fenders and boards to keep the fenders in place. Docks and restrooms are kept spotless. Coupons to get fresh coffee and or muffin's are given out for every guest on board during your stay, at the Black Dog Cafe. BDW offers easy access to the MVRTA bus's, if you want to go to OB, Edgartown or anywhere the bus's run on the island. Love the easy, laid back vibe of downtown Vineyard Haven. Highly recommend a visit to the BDW.

Black Dog Wharf is one of those places I'm almost afraid to leave a review for because I'd really like to keep it our little secret. The more people who discover it, the harder it's going to be to get a slip.
This family-owned marina has become one of our favorite stops when cruising the Cape and Islands. It's quiet, relaxed, and incredibly welcoming. Most of the staff are family, and you can tell—they treat you like you're genuinely glad you came.
And don't miss the Black Dog Tavern. We've eaten there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it's always been great.
There are plenty of marinas with nice docks. What makes Black Dog Wharf special is the people. They make you feel like you're coming back to visit friends, and that's why we'll keep coming back every chance we get.
