My favorite place to stay in Newport. Easy to get in and out. Facilities are perfect and close to everything uptown. Recently bought a new boat up river and had a late delivery. Ended up coming in after hours and tying up, we were able to eat and provision the boat for the long sail to the cape that morning. Showers are amazing. Bowens is my absolute destination when in Newport.

The Dock Master Topher was very accommodating and always available to assist. He worked with our schedule to fit us in on our time in Newport. We hope to return next year.

I had a very pleasant evening dockside. Bowen's Wharf is right in the thick of Newport 's busy waterfront, with easy walking access to America's Cup Ave and Thanes St. The minimal interaction I had with the staff was professional and proactive, with them phoning ahead to confirm my arrival and being ready on the dock to assist with lines and answer questions.

Amazing location. Topher, the dock master, was great to deal with. We’ll be back soon!

This is a professionally and great marina to stay at . They are accommodating and helpful and should be on you list of marinas in Newport to stay. They are located right in the center of all the action at Bowens and Banister Warf. Electric is great and docs stable.

We had an incredible 4 nights in Newport. Couldn’t pick a better location if you want to be downtown. Topher the dockmaster is great. Very helpful and was there to answer any questions we had. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Only comment I would make (which wasn’t an issue at all for us) is that the dock is also used by a few tour boats so lots of foot traffic.

Topher was excellent and made us feel very welcome.

Really great location and excellent, nice and accommodating staff. The docks are linear and narrow between marinas so for large vessels and cross winds it can be a little tricky to getting in and out but staff is very helpful. The restaurant next door has live music outside which was great for entertainment and not too loud but be aware if you don’t want it. It’s the perfect location in town!

An excellent location in Newport. The staff was very helpful. Clean and neat, well-maintained. All you could ask for.

Slips conveniently located. Great dock staff. Nice restrooms. Music next door is loud, but done by 11:00p. WiFi is pretty poor. For this price they should get better WiFi.
