Safe Harbor Stratford is an exceptional marina –The staff is awesome, the facilities are modern and very well tended, and their service is second to none. Our dockmates were quite genial, and access to town and all the major highways is direct and only a few minutes away. This spring we had the marina replace our prop shaft and cutlass bearing, and install a dripless lip seal in place of the old stuffing box. Encountering a few perplexing problems along the way, they solved them effectively and efficiently, and did a marvelous job of it. The new seal is tight and dry, and everything came out fine. Again, I must say that the staff at Safe Harbor Stratford is beyond outstanding. They are all quite professional, more than a little accommodating, and always with a friendly and good natured attitude. Their technical staff is knowledgeable and highly skilled, and the dockyard staff are always ready to lend a hand when needed. All in all, one of the best marinas I have seen.

I posted back in Feb about an incident I had with this location after having an excellent dealing with their other locations. It seems this was a one off incident and was rectified beyond what I was looking for. Management was phenomenal and more than apologetic for something that was out of their control. I have since dealt with them throughout the entire summer of ‘22 and every contact has been positive. They are more than responsive to your needs.

5 stars all the way! Jason and the team at Safe Harbor Stratford were amazing with a variety of projects on our Sabre 34. Super easy to work with, very responsible, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend for storage and boat repair!

I bought a sailboat through the safe harbor brokerage out of N Kingston, RI. My Broker, Lynn was awesome. While taking the boat back to Stratford, CT, I hit some pretty rough seas. I called Mystic Safe Harbor and they were more than accommodating. They charged me a $1 a foot for the night with power and access to the facilities. I left that morning for my second leg to Stratford. I rounded into the Housatonic River around 8:30pm. For whatever reason, I was unable to reach the bridge operator to get to my slip on the other side. I was assured by my broker and the Safe Harbor broker in RI that they would be more than willing to assist me. Being 8:30pm, obviously the yard was closed. I had no other choice to tie up and did so at their fuel dock. In the morning, I was awoken by an employee stating he needed to “speak to the Capt”. It took me a minute to clear my head as it had been a rough week trying to get the boat down in an appropriate weather window. My experience at Mystic could not have been any more opposite then how I was treated by Stratford. I was looked at, treated like and had verbalized to me that I was a criminal. I was charged exponentially/excessively more for my night stay. After paying, I requested fuel and was denied it. Stating the pumps were closed. I returned to my boat for a nap while waiting for the tide to come in. I contacted the bridge to ensure the attendant was there. After waking at slack tide, I went above to prep the lines to shove off for the 1/4 mile trip to my slip and saw the long haired hippy employee that treated me like a criminal and refused me fuel filling up another boat. I hope this is an isolated incident, since I was treated so well by Mystic,but I doubt it. When trying to survey my boat in RI, I had to use an adjacent yard to pull the boat despite the buying and selling brokers were both from Safe Harbor. Do visit the Mystic location, though. Beautiful yard, great people and beautiful location. Let your boat sink before ever using Stratford.

Great experience! Easy access to Long Island Sound…Clean professionally run facility…great quiet calm slip location… the 2 dockhands were spectacular.. very responsive especially when called to assist with docking. Outrigger Restaurant on site was great also…great frozen pina colada, crab fritters, lobster Mac/cheese, broiled scallop.. plenty outdoor waterside seating at restaurant . ( Just be aware of significant current if docking during max Ebb/Flood tide).

Staff was great . We came upon some rough waters and they were able to get us in after closing hours. Staff waited until we were secure. Well maintained a pleasure to work with.

Overdue 5 star rating from this past July. Great crew and their attentiveness to detail is very welcoming. Thank you Josh for your attention to detail and for giving us a very relaxing two night stay here! We'll be back for sure.

by Richard B. on Oct 12, 2020
The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Upon arrival, they helped me dock in high winds. They also immediately performed some needed (but unscheduled) repairs on my boat overnight. In every way, they went above and beyond. Josh was a particular stand-out.

Great staff! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed running up and down the river and through the marshes in our dinghy. Thank you Josh and Crew for a relaxing visit. John Z.

Great marina. Lovely facility. Head/showers like a palace. Good restaurant. Fuel on site. Pool. Expect the best from safe harbor.

by Jorge L. - Verified user on Aug 30, 2019
The marina is small and getting there with the current was a bit tough. Long way up the river. That said once there it was a very pleasant stay. The staff was terrific, from the first radio contact to casting off they were there with a smile for anything l asked. Just look for a person in a red shirt. I will definitely stay there next time I'm around that area.

When we pulled up to the Marina we were greeted with 2 big smiling very helpful hands. Strong currents didn’t help things, but they made it easy for me. I needed a Y connector for the electric and they provided one right away. Great Restuarant right at the dock and the facilities were very clean. Looking forward to a return visit. MV IMAGINE
