We were guided directly to our slip on arrival, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful, even coming aboard to assist with line handling, and then later assisting us to move to another berth due to rough weather, and they were very gracious throughout the entire stay. Top notch! They are there to assist you with everything you need for your stay. Thank you!

We had nice help with our lines as we arrived and departed, and the facilities on shore were good. Had a Jeanneau 44 ft sailboat.

The stay was great and the service was better. It was a very windy day and docking was tough. Morgan, the deckhand on duty was awesome. He calmly guided us in and helped tie us off. He was professional, courteous and friendly. He helped us leave as well as the wind only picked up. Black Dog Wharf should be proud of having Morgan on their team.

What a great marina and a great experience. The staff Morgan and Brook were superb and being somewhat new to owning our own boat, they were there to assist and encourage where needed. The facilities were clean and in excellent condition with great wifi. The marina is centrally located in Vineyard Haven with The Black Dog Tavern, shops and bakery right at the end of the dock. A short walk and one will find themselves in the heart of Vineyad Haven with a supermarket, restaurants, and main street shopping nearby. Can't wait to come back.

Wi-FI is now very good. Great staff. They have fixed docks but they have fender boards for along-side docking. Great location relative to the bus line. Good restaurants nearby. Small beach there too.

Been to many marinas all up and down the east coast - Black Dog is simply the best. Morgan and Brook, thank for for everything! Always sad to leave.

Outstanding experience. Excellent, friendly, professional staff provide any assistance necessary. Always available and ensure dock policies are followed. The facilities are very good - bathrooms are kept meticulously clean, washer / dryers available. The bathrooms are now air conditioned - you don't get that in too many places! Showers are excellent. Top tier facility!!

We selected The Black Dog Wharf primarily on the strength of prior ratings / reviews. The facility did not disappoint. Morgan, Brook, Rory, were helpful, friendly, and really helped to provide a welcoming experience. The bathroom and laundry facilities were always clean and fresh. With The Black Dog Tavern and coffee shop, central Vineyard Haven with many food and drink options and a Shop & Shop within yards, all of these options feel like an extension of the Wharf itself. Thanks again guys for a great week and see you next year. (And yes, as several reviewers have noted, I hesitated to comment as I would like the word to not get out on how awesome your facility is. However, I trust you will continue to excel!)
