Professional staff. The marina is located in Shaw Cove which is very protected. My sailboat is 39’, single screw, no bow thruster. Very difficult to navigate between floating docks into and out of your slip because the narrow space. Spring lines and 2 dock hands accomplished our exit after several attempts. Tense but doable. 20 minute walk to city of New London with close access to minimart, bars and restaurants. Railroad tracks very close to the marina. After midnight trains seemed to have stopped. We slept well.

We decided to get out of TS Ophelia's path and knowing that Crocker's Boat Yard is extremely well protected we spent 4 nights on their very comfortable and well-protected docks. Crocker's Boat Yard is also located in close proximity to some very nice reprovisioning markets and good restaurants.

Interesting boat yard. Not. in a great part of town. More industrial. The fence has barbed wire for protection. It was difficult to get the dockhands on the radio during a holiday weekend. After docking nobody was around. Great lobster shack in walking distance. Canceled my 2nd stay on dockwa at 2:30 the previous day because nobody was in the office. We needed to leave early. I was a bit disappointed that there was no refund. It is privately owned and a little courtesy would of been appreciated. We are not going to return.

Stay was great, they were terrific and very accommodating.
Great mechanics; I had prop damage from debris in LI Sound and they fixed the props and had me on my way in two days including hauling boat twice so we could stay aboard.
Highly recommend them.

No one assisted us when we pulled into our slip, and no one when we were leaving. Ben was on the dock when we got fuel, but was also assisting another boat. Pretty sure we won’t be back

Great marina. Nice pool. Great staff, particularly when getting a pump out. In fact their pump out system is one of the best I've seen. Very powerful. Very reasonable fuel prices as well. I love how protected this marina is. No wakes from passing boats. Also, location is perfect. Easy walk to everything in the city. I would definitely return the next time I am in the area.

Very good baths/showers
And dock staff
And docks and power kiosks. All the night lights worked!!
Pump out was exceptionally well handled- a fresh water back flush and second pump out ?? Never had that anywhere else!
A very pleasant surprise!!

A good marina, protected, good facilities and the staff could not have been more helpful or professional. We would stay there again.

Dock hands were great upon arrival, Theresa was very helpful upon check in, the pool was wonderful, the facilities were kept clean and downtown was easy walking distance. The rate was good with a helpful Boat US discount. We'll be back.

Very good communication for arrival instructions on a Sunday (when marina is closed), welcoming boat yard, friendly people everywhere. Easy bridge opening (although you better check the operating schedule). Very well protected. Walking distance to downtown and lots of restaurants nearby.

Friendly staff, nice marina, and great access to the town. The only negative is the nearby Amtrack trains which start blowing whistles around 0430.

Dockhand knowledge of area limited. Docks in poor condition. Didnt feel SAFE to walk alone in town so wont return. On a positive note, they were prepared with paperwork and KEY upon our arrival.

Great service from a well knowledgeable staff. Dock hands were careful with our boat, professional, courteous and swift with service. The pool was clean and pleasant. My go-to for future stopovers in New London.
