F.L. Tripp & Sons, Inc.

Difficult Harbor to come in for a Sailboat drafting 6 ft. Not well marked and Harbor Master no where to be seen. Decided to skip

Beautiful harbor. Very helpful launch driver.

Launch service was terrific providing local knowledge on the narrow channel.

Great helpful staff. quiet anchorage

I had a big mechanical problem upon arrival. The next morning, the marina was very helpful and responsive and got me on my way early, even though they had much work ahead of me. Much appreciated. Good harbor and marina has decent showers, rest rooms etc.

Below was our review from a couple of years ago. Still a great place to visit. Excellent, friendly staff, beautiful location. Could not ask for more. ———————————- 2nd time here and again enjoyed the stay. Tripp is wonderfully old school and no frills but staff is friendly and helpful. New moorings are a bit further from the dock but in a very pretty location and easy to pick up in the significant current. Beach is beautiful and the Westport Harbor Sea Farms Oyster Bar at the head of the harbor is great, complete with dinghy dock. No problems with depth in the channel. Departed one hour after low and saw nothing less than 9-10 ft. Update July 2022. Still a great stop and friendly crew but call Tripp or Harbor Master for instructions. Serious shoaling in parts of the channel. Mid tide and several 6’ spots.

Really fun stay. Thank you!

Beautiful setting. Helpful launch service.

Very well organized marina, professional and courteous staff, clean facilities. Four stars only because there was no hot water in men's showers.

Very hospitable. An easy to access marina with proper facilities. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Great People! We desperately needed new batteries. I sent a message through Dockwa, on a Friday, which was answered within 30 minutes. Then they called. They had our batteries for us Monday afternoon. Hurricane Lee is on the radar and they were very busy pulling boats out. But they found the time to help us on short notice. And charged a fair charge. Craig was extremely helpful and clearly loves what he does. We were on a mooring and they have a launch service also.

Tripps is still a classic boatyard. All you need without a lot more. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Great last minute weekend in Westport!

Last weekend we ran into serious electrical trouble, setting off a chain of bad events that continued to compound. We needed to get our 6’7” draft sailboat to a safe harbor up the river at low tide and against a brutal current Got on the radio and the guys at Tripp talked us in and took great care of us and all our needs for 4 days. The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable that I ended up leaving the boat there for the week so we could get some work done. The launch service is outstanding, and the entire staff made us feel welcome. Great place

Nice mooring field Phenomenal launch service Very very friendly

Peaceful night, beautiful river, friendly helpful staff.

We love Tripps. Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful spot, reasonable fuel prices, and walking distance to one of our favorite restaurants. Tripp is an old school type of marina that I remember as a kid in the 1970's and 1980's before big corporations bought up many of the marinas. Still a hidden gem.

Friendly helpful staff. Easy walk to the beach.

Excellent night on one of their moorings. The entrance channel (August 2023) is well marked but recently moved so didn't line up with my charts. Was easy to follow the markers though. Mooring had a beautiful view of the marsh and river with Herons and Egrets working the flats during sunset. Launch service took us right to the restaurant. The beach is a short walk from the Marina of if you have a dinghy there's lots of beaches, sandbars and places to explore on your own. The yacht club next door has a great breakfast that is open to the public. When picking up the mooring I recommend having a bow line ready to feed through the pendant and back to your cleat. Due to the strong current, the mooring ball is tide to the pendant which is under-water. Once I realized how they had it set up it was easy run my bow line through pendant, just had to give a little more power than usual to slack up the mooring line and lift it high enough to run the line through. Great trip - will definitely be heading back.

Ian the launch driver was excellent as was the Sea Farms oyster bar.

Second stay this Summer -responsive and good mooring location. Facilities are nice and they have a great Store with anything you could need

Bill auerbach is a nice guy and very informative

Excellent little spot. Great and friendly staff. Very helpful. First time visiting but will be back

Good location at the entrance to Buzzards Bay. Facilities are fair, dinghy docks overcrowded, bathrooms/showers/laundry are adequate. Launch service responsive and reliable (CH9), excellent service department and ship's store. I've been mooring there for 20 years because it's equally convenient access either to the Vineyard or Newport, and seasonal prices are reasonable. Seldom spend the winters there because with a crane but no travel lift I'm required to unstep the mast. Westport harbor is great. Easy dinghy access to beaches near Horseneck Beach, good restaurant within walking distance, excellent upscale supermarket (Lee's) is a 4 mile Uber. Maybe they deliver...? Be prepared for the strong Westport River current. Channel shoaled last year to an unmarked, local knowledge nail biter, but for 2023 the new channel is well defined with lighted nun buoys (don't be distracted by the flashing reds if you approach from the sound after dark). A quaint, old school New England port, well worth a visit, not yet heavily trafficked, exploring the river and estuaries is great by paddle board, kayak, or fast dinghy.

This is a yearly destination for us. The Staff is outstanding and so helpful! There are beautiful Osprey nests and watching their behavior is so much fun. The area is so Pristine and protected. The Back Eddy Restaurant is still fantastic! You can Dinghy right up to the inner beach and then walk Horseneck. Pretty shells and huge surf clam shells are abundant. This is the greatest hidden location!!!
