Safe Harbor Wentworth By The Sea

Wentworth by the Sea has been a regular stop for us on Mischief boat when transiting from North/South. Every stop was a very nice experience with no surprises. Docking, fueling, etc happening as expected, wanted. This past fall, 2022, dock-master Brendan decidedly went out of his way to take care of us. That was very much appreciated. The security, repair, maintenance and dock operations are terrific, and again - as it should be. We appreciate being at Wentworth. Thank you, Brad & Gretchen Collins MV Mischief, Selene 60

Thank you for a peaceful night!

Beautiful marina, great staff and they have courtesy cars.

Always a great stop, friendly and very helpful staff.

I cannot rave enough about Stunning Wentworth by the Sea! We were so happy to have discovered it this season and it shall be a destination we shall anticipate sailing to every summer from The Hamptons. Terry and Hannah, in administration, are the absolute best!! They had been so gracious and accommodating from the very beginning of needing to tweak our arrival and departure schedule, a few weeks before arrival. Every question and concern I had, not knowing the area, they assuaged me and gave so much of their time. Jordan was great in helping with the lines. The facility and the security are stellar! The docks are so nice. We were on the A Dock. We had great neighbors, and a lovely view. We really enjoyed all the restaurants on the premises—Latitudes, near the marina, Salt, in the hotel, and breakfast at The Green Bean. The hotel is magnificent and so many places to sit, read, converse and cogitate—during a month long sailing trip, being solidly on terra firma was well-appreciated! I was going to use the indoor pool one evening but, as it turned out, I didn’t, but I was given a tour of the spa and indoor pool, and next season, I shall definitely book some spa treatments and make use of the warm and inviting indoor pool. One of the greatest amenities for us was the loner car the marina offers. We normally bike all around or Uber on these long trips, and occasionally rent a car. Having a new, wonderful Chevy Equinox at our disposable was such a lovely addition to our stay! Aside from exploring beautiful New Castle, we drove to, and spent time in, Portsmouth—such a vibrant, well-kept town.lovely gardens down by the waterfront. And we stocked up on Provisions at a large market. We couldn’t have been happier with every element of our stay at Wentworth, including a must for boaters—visiting nearby Isles of Shoals. My only disappointment with the marina was the laundry facilities. The marina should really invest in new machines. I frustratingly lost an amount of quarters in the dryers and there were no more quarters to be had anywhere—not at the restaurants or at the marina, nor the hotel front desk or in the laundry room. Unable to start the machines, my laundry sat for hours in the dryers, until a compassionate restaurant customer dug up some quarters from her purse. There is an app that services the machines, but there is no internet in the laundry room, so I couldn’t scan the machines. All in all, the experience was dismaying on a beautiful morning, and although Terry and Hannah felt so bad about it, there was nothing they could do. Anyway—this is a very minor complaint in the midst of such bliss and joy!! I was so sad to depart extraordinary Wentworth by the Sea and can easily spend a week there next summer! Thank you, all!!!

Excellent marina had a great time friendly staff very helpful. We will return

This a great spot. Easy in and out. Nice floating slips. Nice Marina facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Salt the restaurant at the hotel is first class. Nice place to spend a night or 2 and enjoy the area. They even offer a free car from the marina should you want to explore or get some supplies.

Beautiful resort location. Great dockhand to assist with tie-up. Showers and restrooms are very good and close by. Resort has everything- pool, restaurants, you name it. They even have free courtesy cars you can drive into Portsmouth. A great place to stay.

Great marina, easy access off the ocean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The shower and restrooms are clean and close by. The dock side cafe is nice for a quick bite. They have two free loaner cars for the 10 min drive into downtown Portsmouth

Very positive experience! The dock, Latitude and breakfast staff were outstanding. We’ll be back.

Friendly courteous staff, clean facility and a very nice restaurant. Thank you for a very pleasant stay!

Great crew at Wentworth by the Sea Marina! Very friendly and helpful. A highlight of of three week Down East cruise. Nice dinner at Salt Kitchen and Bar, lunch at Latitudes annd breakfast at Bean Cafe. The loaner car is a special feature.

Just a wonderful place to stay - every convenience, including a “courtesy car” that we used to go to West Marine for a few things. Everyone super capable and super pleasant.

Good facilities, including a loaner vehicle, and friendly staff. The marina’s pump-out was out of service but the staff arranged for Royal Flush to come by and give us a pump-out. We were disappointed that the access to the Marriott Pool and pool-side bar had become much more expensive since my last visit to Wentworth-by-the-Sea.

Nice facility and friendly, helpfull staff.

Well kept and attentive staff!

First time visitor and was very pleased with the marina, from staff to marina services everything was what we hoped for more. Will definitely plan a return visit in 2023.

Best marina !! Great location great service!

Beautiful property, great staff. They have a couple of courtesy cars that you can borrow which is a great plus.

Our favorite place to stay!

Good location for easy access to the water. We made good use of the courtesy car to check out Portsmouth. Given the price of this location, we expected nicer bathrooms. If you must, I recommend only using the facilities near the parking lot. The Green Bean has nice staff and good food.

Great marina!. Nice docks. Nice people. 2 restaurants. 2 pools. Easy in and out. On my top 5 definitely.

Super service and friendly. They have a courtesy car that transients can borrow. Scenic location and great access from open water.

We always enjoy staying at Wentworth. The staff is reachable and courteous. The docks are well maintained and the landscaping is amazing. Usually dockage is readily available. Note: the hotel is now charging marina guests to use the pool. Not the fault of the marina. We did find a lovely (free) beach to dinghy to just across the bay at the Odiorne Point State Park. Great breakfast at Green Bean's!

Always a delight. Dock hands are the best. Beware of restaurant, Lattitudes. Owned by the hotel and gives seating preference to hotel guests. Green Bean cafe on dock is outstanding but with limited menu

friendly staff, excellent facilities, especially appreciate the courtesy car

Great setup, calm harbor, super nice staff and clean new facilities. The only part that sucks (as mentioned by other reviewers) and is not marina but rather hotel (not connected to safe harbor) as mentioned hitting you for 40.00 a head per day to use a mediocre pool, also regardless of time you arrive, this was important to us with young kids. To end on good note though paddled over to beaches and had some great meals, lovely weekend spot. Althea

Too bad about Marriott buying the Wentworth Hotel, the pool and Latitudes Restaurant. Now it will cost you $40 per person, per day to use the pool and Latitudes Restaurant, which once was an excellent eatery with creative, well prepared cuisine is now little more than now just another mediocre hotel restaurant. The staff at the marina were wonderful, polite and very eager to help the boater. The facilities are very clean and up to date and from a marina's perspective, one of the nicer marina's we've visited. other than that don't expect too much.

Great as always - staff couldn’t be more accommodating

Picturesque. Easy in/out to ocean. Lots of current, noisy bridge traffic overhead. Bath/showers clean and spacious. Maybe 4.5

Great marina and we loved dinner at Salt. Thank you!

It was our first time staying at the Wentworth Marina and we were not at all disappointed with the marina, Truly a first class, well maintain marina with great security, friendly staff, even provide 2 loner cars in case you need to run to town and the Dock hand Lucy was great at our arrival. Boaters beware, if you are planning on going into Portsmouth for the day or evening be prepared for long waits for cabs in either direction. The local story is that Uber and Lyft destroyed the local Portsmouth cab companies and then the Uber/Lyft drivers dried up. We waited for over an hour each time to catch cabs for downtown runs, a destination that is only about 3 miles away. If you have a OB dinghy I suggest you bring it and run yourself downtown to Prescott Park and tie up there.

The marina is beautiful and very well maintained. The dock assistant was very polite and helpful. However, for the price the amenities were disappointing. There is a $40 a day per person added charge to use the pool. The dockside restaurant was closed (all of Saturday night and at 6pm Sunday night.) The small coffee/snack cafe was also closed at the dock. When we tried to have a casual dinner and watch the Sox/Yankees Wild Card duel at Salt, the main restaurant at the hotel, only one TV was working and it was monopolized by one man watching college football. The second night we decided to go to a sports bar in town to watch the next game in the series. We called an Uber easily to get there but at 11pm we had to wait 45 minutes to find an available car home. All in all, for the dock fees, next time we will stay on the town dock to be closer to everything, without missing much at the marina.

This place was fantastic. Shannon was amazing with communication and Lucy was fantastic and greeted me at the doc as well as helped me with a few gallons of gas. Would absolutely use this place again if the need ever arises.

Wentworth is an outstanding marina with the best staff and facilities. Our stay was extended due to deteriorating weather but we were welcomed and enjoyed the entire experience.

Great trip. Staff was wonderful. Facilities were clean. Will be back again soon.

We had a wonderful time. Great dock service and amenities. Loved the access to the car for guest use. Enjoyed the hotel spa.

What a jewel of a marina. The staff is motivated, friendly and extremely helpful, The harbor is beautiful and well protected. This was our first time here but will not be our last.

Best Marina I have stayed at. Their customer service is top notch.

Great marina Friendly and capable crew Great dinner at Salt restaurant

great as always --they were able to take us in one early since weather is forcing us south top RI sooner than we planned --Very Accommodating --great slip -great staff--- Great facility; Easy to get into and out -yet it's Portsmouth!!! Only regret. -couldn't spend enough time to really enjoy the marina and facilities--will be back -always a stop either to or from Maine for us. Had to leave very early to make Scituate before today's ugly weather. fyi. great restaurant in town -Massimo's and all the restaurants offerings at Wentworth Great too.

Awesome! Friendly professional staff. A+ would recommend this marina to anyone. Very classy marina, We will be back!

Great service, clean facilities, can’t wait to return.

Excellent facilities, beautiful and protected location and great people.

This is a first class operation! The facilities are second to none, and the staff were all very helpful, friendly, and willing to help in any way. Best of all, the marina location is just beautiful. We will definitely be back soon!

We had a wonderful stay and the staff was outstanding!

Wentworth does not disappoint! This is our 3rd visit. As always perfect - clean -great docks - nice facilities- awesome people ! We had a fantastic time and will be back soon

The facility, grounds, flowers, crew were all top notch.

Outstanding facility and very helpful staff. Great food options onsite, courtesy car, excellent laundry and showers. What more could you ask for? Not cheap but worth it. Beware that the marina is populated by sports fishing boats. The one next to me left at 4:30 am and returned at 10:30 pm. There was no sleeping through it. But I don’t recall this happening when I stayed last summer, so I think I was unlucky with my slip assignment this year. Overall, great place.

It’s always great @ wentworth Thanks for taking us 1 day early.. very much appreciated Linus

One of the Northeast’s best marinas. Great people, a number of good restaurants nearby, and a nice restaurant at the marina, nice docks, good wifi, wonderful views, and good power and water. One of our very favorites.

Thank You Wentworth. Our first time staying with you and you did not disappoint. While the channel in was littered with traps, your location is magnificent. We actually walked from the Marina into Portsmouth, which is a great then to visit and have dinner in. WE also used Uber to get back and forth. The restaurant at the Hotel ended up being a 10! Thank You

Always one of our favorite stops when heading to Maine. What could they possibly do any better? Cudos!

Charming harbor and excellent marina

Always a pleasure to stay at Wentworth by the Sea. Beautiful facilities and dock. The grounds are immaculate and lots of great places to stretch your legs. When in the area we will always return. One of the loveliest marinas we have stayed in.

Beautiful area to visit, plus an attentive staff for all your boating needs.

Always a favorite! Even with the rain you can’t beat this spot! Wonderful dinner at latitude also!

The place was great, showers clean and free- docks were clean and spacious. My only wish would be for longer service hours of operation. We were a late arrival (5:30 pm) and early (7am) departure but would have liked to get pool passes and ice. The marina is open til 5, and opens at 8:30. Also the restaurants close too early too- Latitudes was on the list but closed before we got up the hill.

It was great that we were contacted prior to our arrival, since it was going to be after they closed. Got our slip and codes all set. Had a wonderful dinner at Salt and headed out early the next morning for our final six hour run to our home port.

Really good stay. We regret we couldn’t have stayed longer. Great reservations process, reception, dock staff. It’s covid so the lower restaurant was closed but we took away from SALT and it was fantastic. We will be back, for sure.

Always a pleasure to stay at the marina, great staff and accommodations, we usually spend two or three weekends each summer and will continue to do so.

Fantastic facilities and everyone is so incredibly nice!!

Lovely, a very comfortable place to stay.

Great marina staff is the best. Slips are really nice,

Great facility, fantastic staff!

If your idea of a relaxing upscale marina includes a large, raucous, boozy indoor/outdoor costume party (lots of wigs, zero Covid protective masks), on a mega powerboat sporting twin Trump flags, this place could be your cup of tea. Management did not want to quiet this transient boor— probably because megas pay so much more per linear foot. We’ll skip this marina next time.

Beautiful marina, well maintained, Really helpful and friendly staff

Very nice stay on our cruise to midcoast Maine. Terry the Dockmaster was excellent advising us and accommodating our somewhat disjointed schedule due to weather delays. This our 4th stay at the Marina. Hope to make it our regular stop. Thanks!

Very nice, good WiFi!

Wentworth is a first class marina - among the best quality docks we have discovered on our cruise up/down the east coast. The resort offers a full menu of amenities - spa, exercise room, pool, etc. This is a great location for a few days of relaxation on a cruise. We found the fairway between C & D docks to be narrow - we are 37 feet and found little space to maneuver - plan your docking carefully. The restrooms and laundry were fine but the mens showers up from D dock reminded me of a high school gym - no privacy.

Great facility, great staff, restaurant in hotel is very nice

Our annual stay with the Grandkids was great. Nice lunch at the Green Bean, fun swimming in the pool, and a wonderful dinner at Salt. The facilities are first class and the staff are most professional and friendly. See you next year! EDNA BELLA

Great Marina. Nice restaurant.

Stopped here twice as part of a trip to Maine, and was it was our favourite marina. Staff at the office were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. Only slight let down was that the dock hands not so much. We were towards the end of the docks which afforded us great views of the river. We appreciated the use of a courtesy car to stock up and do a quick tour of the area; having The Green Bean right there for breakfast, as well as clean head/showers. Everything we needed, and more that we did not get to experience on this trip. Thank you!!

Terrific marina with fantastic staff. It’s one of our top pics in New England and we always go several times a season. Food at restaurant also outstanding. We always feel truly welcomed.

Beautiful marina. Efficient staff. Very enjoyable stay.

Wentworth Marina is awesome! Great food, great service, spotless facilities!! You get what you pay for!! I highly recommend!

Always a treat. Loaner cars a bonus.

Beautiful stop as we head north!

Excellent facilities and service at a classic NE marina.

The Wentworth Marina never disappoints. The dockhands, fuel dock attendants and ladies are always friendly and ready to answer any questions and are knowledgeable about the area. Our "go to" marina when we cant a quick overnight away from our home port.

Office staff was so friendly. Amenities were above and beyond any other place we have stayed. They offer a complimentary car for short periods of time. That being said, you do not have full access to the hotel including the gym.

Wonderfull, super safe dockage and very helpful staff.....Alex

Great marina in a beautiful setting. Helpful and friendly staff. Wentworth Hotel was awesome as well. Coming back as soon as we can.

Outstanding service Thank you

Great Marina always vey accommodating. Everyone is so friendly.

Beautiful setting, awesome service, amenities galouro

Another great stay @ Wentworth by the Sea. Beautiful location. Staff is helpful & friendly & we took advantage of the BBQ grills & loaner car.

Nice facilities and the use of a courtesy car was terrific add on

Always a great time with great service!
