Stonington is a great little town. The yacht club is well equipped with showers. Harbor person (Keith) is an excellent communicator and welcomed us to the yacht club. Highly recommended.

These are very pricy moorings. Cost $107 with tax for EACH NIGHT (40' Catamaran) Great taxi service (free) neat town, but smallish) Would only spend this much if I had no other choice...

Reasonable pricing, shower access was upgraded to 24 hours and greatly appreciated, (compared to prior visits.) Dock staff communicative and reliable. What a great town and great spot to stay, with easy access to many other cruising destinations.

Thank you!

What a beautiful spot! Stonington Hatbor Yacht Club was most welcoming . We took a spot on the dock and enjoyed the town, but a mooring would’ve been equally good, as the launch was top notch answering calls from their large field . It was a great stop and would happily return .

I cannot say enough about this location. It was awesome. And the dockmaster was incredibly friendly and helpful. We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her! She is a very hard worker and deserves a bonus. And of course, what can we say about Stonington itself. What a lovely village. Lots of restaurants and small shops. And for those with bikes, do not forget to visit Velvet Mills nearby. It is a renovated factory building with so many local shops and businesses I lost count. At least 40 of them. However, we missed it because we were here for the two days that they were closed. They are only open Thursday to Sunday. We recommend Noah's Restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although there are others worth trying too.
