This marina is great. Great staff and walkable community. Very hospitable. Facilities are very clean and staff is very helpful. We have been on the north wall and although there is music at times it has never bothered us. The locals love to talk to you about your boat and we find that a plus as they are also willing to share information action about their community. Great butcher (Bernie’s) right on Main St and plenty of great restaurants to choose from.

Marina Response:

We are happy that you enjoyed your stay, finding our facilities clean and inviting and that you were able to get out and enjoy our beautiful town. We hope to see you again!

Reserved a slip for two days - then the marina calls us the following day to move as the slip owner returned a day early and wanted thier slip back. If you assign a slip and require one to prepay for it - don’t inconvenience the visitor for change of plans by the slip holder.

Marina Response:

We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, this was a mistake on our part, as the tenant had informed our staff of their return. We are truly sorry that you were caught in the middle of this miscommunication. We value our guests and regret that this situation affected your experience at Port Washington Marina. We hope you’ll consider visiting Port Washington again in the future and give us another opportunity to provide you with the enjoyable, welcoming experience you deserve. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you back so we can make your next visit a five-star experience!

The plusses: Well protected harbor Friendly Staff Next to nice downtown area The One Minus: We were assigned a space on the North Wall. It's right by a restaurant and an event space. Consequently we had loud people in close proximity well into the wee hours of the morning. It's a great stop, but if you go, ask to be assigned a spot away from the north wall.

Marina Response:

Thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that our staff was friendly and that you enjoyed the harbor's proximity to our wonderful downtown. Please do ask for a slip in the Main Marina if one is available instead of the wall if you want a little more peace and privacy. We do hope that you return some day as we would love for you to have an all around wonderful experience here in Port Washington.

Nice marina, they were very accommodating when we had boat issues and needed to extend our stay. Very convenient to restaurants and shops while waiting a couple of days for an engine part.

Marina Response:

Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that staff was accommodating and attentive to your needs during your stay. We are so fortunate that our Marina is located in the heart of the downtown. There is so much to see and do just a short walk from the harbor. We hope you stop and see again!

Nice marina. Very well protected in the basin. Clean and friendly staff. We needed 50 AMP service and did not experience issues with the electric as others have posted.

Docks and electric infrastucture is very dated and needs updates. They could not accomodate a boat with dual 50 amp service. the pedestals appeared to be post WW2 vintage. Dock staff were very good and bent over backwards to try to help us. We really appreciated their effort, but without modern infrastructure they could only do so much.

Marina Response:

We appreciate your honest comments regarding our docks and electrical infrastructure, and we understand how important having the proper power accommodations is for a comfortable stay. We’re glad to hear that our dock staff went above and beyond to assist you, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with our team.

Nice Marina. Clean, great employees. Office answered the phone and took good care of of us. Close to town. The 35 foot slip was about 15 wide with a post between the other boat so a 14 ft been was cozy…

The marina is very well run. The bathrooms are superclean and they well-maintained grills. Port Washington is a nice town. There's an old-fashioned butcher a few blocks away and good ice cream. The marina is very well protected. We rode out a strong storm from the NE and slept well. The only downside is that there are lot of fisherman who leave the marina early and don't observe the "no wake" policy".

Marina Response:

Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you found our facilities clean and well maintained. We are also happy to hear that you had time to get off your boat and explore town. Bernie's Fine meats and the Chocolate Chisel and Frankie's for ice cream are a must when in town! Please stop back again some day!
