TPG Dutch Harbor Boat Yard

This is our home mooring not just because of the gorgeous location. It’s well-run by really knowledgeable staff. Reliable, responsive, and skilled. The off note is Scuttlebutt. Wrong menu: ice cream and some stale pre-packaged sandwiches trucked in. Wrong staff: attendant bizarre and erratic. We’re not alone in missing the oyster shack, or the tacos that preceded it.

Awesome. Great staff. One of Rhode Island’s best kept secrets. We’ll be back next year.

A mile or less walk on quiet streets to Jamestown shops, grocery stores and restaurants and great protection from wind and seas from almost all directions are the big positives. The full summer fare with off-season service hours left me feeling like I got less than I paid for. Also, cruisers should know that the town dinghy dock has a 30 minute limit for transients. If you want to dine in town you’ll need to check with the launch about tying off to the marina docks.

$70 for mooring on Labor Day was a rip off. Good launch service and new shower/ building.

Good prompt launch service. Solid well spaced moorings.

Very accommodating and polite staff. Clean restrooms, easy walk to town. Wish the little “restaurant” actually made the food there and was open more often.

Calm Anchorage. Very polite, good clean facilities. note: no water or fuel. Great Launch service. Definitely will back

A favorite and a very good facility and destination. Clean, quiet and courteous. Can be rough in heavy wind.

Always a good stay. Used Instacart to re-provision. Did laundry. Loved walking to get takeout from Tululla's Taco. Biked down to Beavertail, which is a good workout with the hills. Beautiful sunsets.

Great location (easy walk into town), clean and well-kept facilities and friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

Beautiful spot. We haven't been in a couple of years. Every time we go the staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. Pattie and Bodi were fantastic! Thanks for another great time.

Excellent stay at Dutch Harbor. Great launch service and reserved the grill/picnic area for our group of eight. Everything was wonderful

Great anchoraage. Low key and quite. Launch service is very accessible (Jake I’d great!) and easy walk into town for provisions and variety of restaurants.

We just stayed at Dutch Harbor twice this week. Great accommodations and excellent service. Our first time here last year we were on their mooring the night of Hurricane Ida . Very protected and strong moorings 👍

Nice place to stay at a mooring. Launch operators nice. Laundry and shower available as well as ice cream! Picnic tables and grill well kept. Clean. Also allowed us to stay amother day because of bad weather! Very accommodating.

Welcoming and friendly. Launch free with mooring was awesome.

This is a great hidden gem. Very clean facilities, very friendly staff. Easy walk to supermarket and downtown Jamestown. We liked it so much we changed our trip home so we could stay with them again.

Awesome folks and a beautiful site. Clean facilities. Arrival/departure very simple. This is a great place with a ton of natural beauty.

It's always a pleasure picking up a mooring for the night at Dutch Harbor Boat Yard--great amenities and customer sercice.

We’re back! Peaceful and relaxing. Love it here. We're already booked to return in sept for the Newport Boat Show weekend.

Thank you to the entire staff for making Dutch Harbor our new favorite place to spend the night!!!

We have stayed at Dutch Harbor several times. It is an excellent place. The people are always friendly and accommodating, the facilities are clean, and the location near the center of Jamestown is very convenient.

Responsive and helpful both pre-arrival & on the day, beautiful harbor, clean & pleasant facilities, bit expensive for the offering, especially if you don't need the launch service, could do better with recycling.

Very attentive staff answered all calls on ch 69 right away and great launch service.

Excellent staff and location

Nice facility, great people. Convenient to many attractions including Newport.

Nice quiet place with a short walk to nightlife and great restaurants if you want that sort of thing. Great spot for swimming off the boat. It has a nice outdoor shower as well as clean indoor facilities. The staff is friendly and helpful.

This is a wonderfully protected mooring spot (except for NW winds which we encountered Saturday night :). The facilities are clean and neat and the staff focused on making your stay 5*. The 20-minute walk to Jamestown is easy. We rented bikes on Saturday from Jamestown Outdoors and had a grand ride to visit Beavertail Light House (3 oldest in the US).. Many places to eat, a well-supplied hardware and ice cream all right there.

Always a great place to come. Just a great peaceful relaxing spot to be. They are so accaccommodating and everyone is so friendy and nice. Hate to let the secret out on how nice it is!

The launch staff did a great job in heavy winds and seas from the NNW. We had a lovely walk to the Village Hearth for a nice breakfast before shoving off.

Dutch Harbor Boat Yard is the reason to have a boat. Staff excels in service communication. All are so considerate and respond quickly to requests to come in. Harbor itself has a unique quiet beauty that is to be experienced.

Very responsive staff. Quick turnaround of all questions whether by Dockwa messaging or VHF. Mooring was easy to pick up and equipped with two lines for a bridle set up as well as a pennant. We were only in town for an hour but we've been to Jamestown before and it's a great place to walk around and relax.

Easy access to mooring, bathrooms and showers were clean. I didn't use the launch service but they were out and about and very nice staff. There's a dock to tie your dinghy to and it's just a short walk into Jamestown.

Great stay at Dutch Harbor. This is a nice change from the east side of the island. They are all very friendly at Dutch Harbor. The launch is timely and really well run. Marina bathrooms are clean and modern and you are about 1mile from town, 1/2 mile from groceries. Enjoyed our stay here!

Launch drivers are fast and courteous. Staff is tremendously helpful. And one of the most beautiful sunsets!

The staff and launch captains were excellent. However upon returning to our boat that Saturday morning, following a trip to the shore, I found both my both my ignition keyed switches filled with glue (perhaps superglue) and I was unable to even insert my keys. I told the launch driver face to face and she was unaware of any other such problems. I was forced to call Sea Tow and be towed back to East Greenwich Yacht Club with my wife and our two golden retrievers. A waste of nearly 3 hours. Most disappointing. Not to mention spending $70 on two new switches which I had to go to Narragansett West Marine, and install the rest of the day on Saturday......

Great setup and service!

Nice harbor, nice simple Marina, nice people!

This is one of our very favorite marinas anywhere. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly and competent. They are responsive to any communication. It is well-located as to be sheltered from most summer storms. A gem of a marina.

pleasant staff, nice mooring locations

Dutch Harbor Boat Yard is a great marina for people looking to enjoy the quieter side of Conanicut . Staff is friendly, showers and bathrooms are clean. Launch service is great!

Good communication over VHF. Reliable launch. Good facilities (shower, laundry, bathroom). Overall very good experience.

Great place. Lots of good things to say. But they should provide campers with a ride to the dock at Fort Getty. It's about 20 yards further than their furthest mooring. It creates an awkward boundary between classes. I was tent camping at Fort Getty and had to swim to my boat whenever I couldn't convince them to give me a ride. Silly.

Great service , clean , friendly staff

Lovely harbor, excellent, clean facilities. Moorings are in great condition and very well organized. Booked through Dockwa. Everything straightforward. One of our favorites!

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful. Staff is so friendly, facilities are clean. Short walk to anything you need. We will be back!

We love it here. All about it. Now let’s keep the secret. :)

A great stopover on the way into Narragansett. Small and intimate. We did laundry, and enjoyed a shower.

Beautiful tranquil setting, top notch launch service with professional, courteous captains. Sparkling clean restrooms and showers. Responsive and friendly management. Great neighborhood to take long walks in. We extended our stay several times, it was all just so nice.

Great launch drivers, nice harbor; only negatives were no fuel dock and no ability to tie up dinghy at Dutch Harbor dock.

This was our first visit to Dutch Harbor Boat Yard, and it was a very positive experience. Great launch service, great sheltered morning field. Excellent facilities and a very helpful staff. Also very close to the most convenient approach to a pump out dock that I have seen (self service) although we did not use it. Little apparent traffic on the east side of Dutch Island to cause wakes. Would definitely visit again.

Dutch harbor is jewel. Peaceful, quite. Staff was more than willing to meet our every need. Looking forward to returning

We are quite often in various harbours in New England. Dutch Harbor has become so much better the last years and it is a real pleasure to be there. - Call service (VHF and cell) works great. - Shuttle is there within minutes - Clean and nice facilities. - Very nice staff

Always a nice stop for us. Staff is helpful - launch operators are very professional. It would be helpful if there was a designated area for a longer dinghy tie-up just in case we came back after the launch stopped operation. We will be back -

Excellent quality service. Very prompt launch pickups. Clean, good quality restrooms and showers. Small beach for a dog walk and dog swim. Nice town walk to a good grocery store. Get fresh eggs from the landscape company one block up the hill from the marina. Fresh seafood shack on the weekends.

Great stop on the quiet side of Jamestown. Friendly staff, nice showers and self service pump out close by on the town dock. Pleasant and easy walk to town for restaurants etc.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice harbor to ride out a nor’easter storm.

Dutch is our/Seafox’s favorite mooring harbour. Launch service and staff are always friendly and professional. Fantastic sunsets as well.

Great place. Launch driver is a great guy. Safe calm night on the mooring

Always pleasant, but a bit bumpy this time.

The staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The day we arrived there was a strong, gusty SW wind and the harbor was rough. The staff found a different mooring than the one to which we had been assigned that provided somewhat more protection. Their facilities are clean and very well maintained. My only suggestion would be for the launches to be operated more slowly, particularly at night since they throw a good size wake and can really rock your boat when they pass close by.

Great facility and very welcoming

Great people. Great location. Amazing sunset. Amazing sunrise.

Great Marina and stop over. Molly, who runs the tender is awesome!

Nice place , quiet Highly recommend

Outstanding service and the nicest people.

Outstanding marina. Would give 6 stars if rating available. Clean facilities. Most friendly staff. Super secure double mooring line. Convenient launch.

The staff was incredible the mooring was well maintained and in a quiet harbor - we were able to see six separate fireworks displays on the fourth without being disturbed by wake or noise. Launch drivers were personable, professional and have excellent recommendations for food and activities in town. Short walk to downtown which was beautiful. No change machine for quarter operated laundry and dryer, so be sure to bring quarters. Otherwise lovely and absolutely return.

Great experience. Moorings are well-maintained and there’s plenty of space between boats. Launch service is prompt & professional. Showers are clean and there’s hot water. Protected location with a short walk to town.

They were amazing. They helped us moor in the night when we could not see. They were so helpful getting me back to my job in nyc. I hope I can return

Dutch Harbor has THE NICEST launch drivers, an immediate friendly welcome visit, cleanest showers and bath rooms, the best sun sets and seamless payment transactions. We will be back often. Don’t miss the restaurant Simpatico a 15 minute across the island.

Great harbor, harbor master and staff. Excellent launch drivers!

Great mooring stop. Attentive staff. Clean facilities on site and excellent shopping within 12 minutes' walking distance. Be aware that the laundry machines require 8 quarters each and detergent is not provided.

Great marina and facilities. Quick walk to main st ships and restaurants. Dutch Harbor is our favorite place on the bay.

We love DHBY - perfect location - amazing staff! Easy to access; simple mooring field to navigate; ample, clean bathrooms; snack shack on grounds; short walk to Jamestown; OUTDOOR SHOWER! If you have a dinghy and want an adventure and love fresh fish, head up to Zeek's Creek - northeast corner of harbor (half tide or better).

Love this marina- more protected than other side of island, friendly staff, launch service, clean bathrooms/showers. Beautiful (hilly) walk to town (20 min) and supermarket (15 min.) Dog friendly. Moorings only.

Great stay! Facilities are clean and maintained. Shuttle service to the dock is prompt and skippers make some funny small talk. Yard Manager Patty went above and beyond to help out with anything we needed. Overall, very happy with our stay.

Excellent stay too notch service

Leaving the mooring, we snagged our mooring pendant with prop. Repeated diving was unsuccessful - shortly Joe arrived with a workboat to take strain off pendant and enable diver to free us. Great & timely help and service!

Great harbor/mooring field, very professional and welcoming staff, nice clean facilities, easy walk to Jamestown (where we took the ferry over to Newport for the day). Peace and quiet at night. Much better than staying in an urban marina. We will be back next year!

We had a pretty wet, foggy, windy passage from Noank, CT, but it was great to get into the bay and to Dutch Harbor. A harbor of childhood memories. With a forecast not at all what was happening we decided to stay another day and wait for some improvement. It was worth it! The helpful office staff connected with Dockwa and we were all set for this last minute additional day. Clean hawser, superior launch service, nice facilities and a fun harbor to go about in the dinghy. Glad the wind from the northwest was light because Dutch Harbor could be bouncy in a hard NW blow. Other directions should be fine. Friendly folks on our 15 minute walk to the grocery store and grinder place. A package store was just across the street. We put the dinghy on the mooring and took a nice cruise to see Wickford from the water, and then further north to look about Allen Harbor. Wonderful stay! The trip back had the wind at our stern and proved an easy passage.

Fabulous Mooring stay. Everyone is so welcoming. A quick thunderstorm blew through at night and the next morning Joe came by in the launch asking if everything was ok. Best Jamestown Mooring experience e in 40 yrs of boating

A gem of a boatyard. Calm protected waters, beautiful sunset, wonderful shack with delicious oysters, extremely clean bathroom & showers, and very friendly staff. One of our favorite spots. Will be back for sure.

We go back to Dutch over and over again because it is an amazing place to spend the night. Very calm and protected. The staff are helpful, experienced, friendly and professional. Can not give them high enough rating. I will just keep returning!!

Great location, clean amenities, friendly helpful staff and two great days in beautiful Jamestown - thank you, we will be back!!

This is a fantastic place to visit with extremely friendly and helpful staff. I had engine issues and they were able to diagnose and solve the problem quickly and with confidence. I cannot recommend Dutch Island Boat Yard enough.

Was nice to have the launch drive come out and check to if we need anything. Especially nice when it was blowing 20kts

Great stay! Friendly launch staff, clean facilities, and beautiful location. We will be going back!

Always a nice stay - quiet and picturesque

The mooring was so easy to hook onto, Great view of Jamestown, peacefull and great service.

Great launch drivers, fast and efficient...well maintained moorings, bathrooms were spotless.

A peaceful location with very friendly launch staff

Great stay with outstanding staff who rescued our runaway dinghy, not to mention how deftly they helped us with our bikes too! Can't wait to go back!

Courteous helpful staff.

Nice showers, outer moorings very rolly. But nice launch and staff!

Outstanding. We usually stay n the other side of Jamestown and this was our first time here. It was so peaceful- no rocking! The launch folks were super and the walk to town no problem. We will be back!

One of the best stays ever. Unlike a lot of places we have stayed were the mooring fee does not cover other amenities. Dutch includes launch service, bathrooms, showers and ever a cup of coffee if needed. We will definitely return.

Great Harbour Great boatyard. Two launches Always available . Great services.healthy eslk to other side of Jamestown where the actionis -if thats what one calls action ! Few great restaurants esp Sympatico! At Dutch always a chance to catch a Great sunset!!!

Beautiful harbor, a short walk (or bike ride) to restaurants and the market. Staff was helpful and friendly. Launch drivers could try and throw less of a wake.

Very friendly staff, very clean and nice showers, baths, nice walk to town

Great place, courteous prompt service.

Dutch Harbor Boat Yard was very accommodating to our group (5 boats). They set up an area with picnic tables and chairs so we social distance when we got together each night. The launch drivers were very friendly and helpful.

After radioing in, we were met by the skiff at the beginning of the mooring field and led right to our mooring. We were given a fact sheet with all the info we'd need by the attendant. We had our own dinghy so we didn't use the launch service but there is a dinghy dock available and it's a quick walk into town.

Very nice. Launch driver came out and showed us our mooring. WiFi was unable to reach the mooring. We tried repeatedly but were unsuccessful at using it, and called the office as well, who did not have any solutions or advice, but said it was working in the office.

To fonsecascott: I met friends on their boat there, took launch which was constantly on the move. You even complain about the wind blowing all day as if they control it. If your whining that you couldn't find your mooring, you don't belong having a boat in your bathtub. The staff there was the most friendlies and accommodating I've met. God created that location and weather, not the staff. If that's your complaint you couldn't find your mooring after asking 5 or 6 times, you obviously can't follow directions. Stay home.

Great stay but not as protected as I would have liked. Etc wind blew all day and night - also difficult to find mooring ball on your own. Most places show you by tender where it is. They did this after I radio’d 5-6 times and couldn’t find it

10/10. Comfortable and super clean onshore facilities without feeling like a large corporate marina. Launch service is stellar. Subject to some bouncing from chop if the breeze is up, but moorings are in great shape.

I have stayed at Dutch Harbor many times. They are always professional and accommodating to my needs. They are my first choice when staying at the mouth of Narragansett Bay.

Beautiful spot! We will be back.

Great as usual! Awesome launch drivers, very accommodating. Beautiful sunsets.

Always a great stay!

I love staying at Dutch Harbor! This was a perfect weekend. Friendly staff, nice showers, quiet mooring. I like that it is away from town and enjoy the walk.

Best of everything for a quiet location, pretty & protected scenery, launch service, clean facilities, walking distance to town & grocery, nice folks, picnic tables and a taco shack!

great location. quiet mooring field. excellent launch drivers, easy walk into town. And the "taco shack" at the head of the dock!

Great boatyard -- nice and responsive staff, excellent facilities, and reliable launch service. Our mooring was very close to the dock (but not too close). Highly recommend!

Lovely as usual but wi-fi not very strong!

Cleanest bathrooms and showers. Very friendly staff.

Very clean facilities. Great staff.

The staff at DHBY was extremely accommodating while we were dealing with engine issues. Beautiful harbor. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon!

Great staff and facility. Thanks

I should say horrible to keep the crowds down, but truthfully, relaxing, easy walk to town, groceries, places to see. Friendly, helpful staff at all levels. A favorite place to sail to.

Nice harbor. Great staff. bathrooms are right off the deck, not very private, showers are limited to 5 minutes.

A beautiful, quiet spot to spend a night. We got easy directions to our mooring and the launch driver gave us the scoop on wi-fi, schedule and local sites. All good!

Great location friendly staff.

Great location, clean showers and heads, nice staff, and a little over one mile walk to great restaurants and The Ganny to see live music.

Great people and great service

Beautiful setting, Weil protected harbor, good showers, excellent launch, short walk to restaurants,, professional, personal. Ed Nielsen Smoke & Mirrors PJYC

Very friendly staff here. Launch service is quick and reliable. Clean restrooms and showers. Picnic area is concrete slab with grills available. If you need ice, request from the launch. There is no dinghy dock. A bit of a hike to any restaurants and shops. If traveling with other boats don’t assume you will be near each other. It’s a big mooring field and our group of 4 boats were not anywhere close by. Mooring numbering system is confusing.

A warm welcome, block and cubed ice sold even at 9:00pm, and quality launch drivers—shout out to Zach!

Enjoyed the showers and launch.

The entire staff was awesome. Friendly helpful, went out of their way to accommodate us. Would definitely return. Thank you for your hospitality. Facilities are very nice, clean. Launch service prompt and courteous.

Great launch and marina service. Beautiful setting. Taqueria ("the shack") was awesome. Just a little roll. We did get the mooring ball the farthest out ("D10"). I think if we were tucked in a little more, we'd be out of the current, in the "no wake" zone, and it would be 5 stars.

Showers and bathroom facilities are excellent, the harbor is fairly well protected, launch service is great and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Also, it’s just about a mile walk to Jamestown. Perfect spot to stop!

Great place to catch a mooring both for over-nights as well as for short stays. They have a launch and also a nice Dingy dock. Check with the launch driver when they close out for the day, especially if you go to a place to eat in Jamestown things can take longer than expected. Somebody mentioned that the Dingy dock has limited tie up times. That is only true for the town-dock. The marina itself have their own Dingy dock which does not have any time limits (it's a bit hidden away just below their little hut on the dock).

Great location. Excellent responsiveness on behalf of the Marina. Dinghy dock limited tie up time

Great staff, very friendly...good resources & quiet marina...perfect for us!

Great friendly marina!

Always excellent. Staff friendly knowlegable and attentive. Facilities clean and in good working order. Going back again for Labor Day. One of our favorite places

Easy peasy. Went smoothly.

Great Great Great 20 characters

We always stay here when we arrive in RI and before we leave. Responsive, friendly staff. Launch comes right away. The shack onsite has awesome tacos!

Excellent location and friendly staff.

Very nice Harbor. Boat Yard and accomodations are well maintained and staff was nice. Only issue was the Self Pump Out that is tricky to use and staff couldn't help with directions. Luckily we got some assistance from other boaters on how to get the pump out to work. Would be nice if staff could give directions and assistance on the procedure.

Great evening at a very nice, low key marina. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities. Limited services available and no fuel..but we'll definitely be back.

We dearly love Dutch Harbor!! It is a quiet, clean very sailboat friendly spot with easy access to Block Island, Newport etc. the management and launch service are second to none. We are in there at least three times a summe!!

Quiet harbor, reliable launch service

Great mooring - easy quick launch service.

DHBY is easily accessible from the West Passage of Narragansett Bay, the launch service is timely, good restaurants are a short walk away. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The facilities are clean. Easy water taxi to Newport from the other side of Jamestown. Stayed there four nights. Highly recommended.

Calm cove, great staff and short walk into town. One mooring was a little close to us but remained unoccupied. Clean bathrooms. Will return again.

Dutch Harbor is one of our favorite get-aways. The staff, launch drivers and owners are unfailingly courteous, moorings are well maintained and the sunsets simply can't be beat!

very easy, great staff, quiet harbor

Quiet cozy harbor Easy walk less than a mile into town with great restaurants

This is a nice quiet and calm harbor with beautiful sunsets. The staff at DHBY are very professional and accommodating. Launch service was fast. The bathrooms and showers, two each, are new and clean. There is also an outdoor enclosed shower that is very refreshing. Best of all is Tallulah's Tacos at The Shack for when we didn't feel like walking to the restaurants.

The new owners are doing a great job. They've built a new marina office, complete with showers and laundry facilities. The launch is courteous and prompt. And of course the location is amazing.
