Another great stay at Black Dog Wharf on our last voyage of the 2025 season! Brooke was very helpful. Great new restaurant in town, the Ocean Club.

We absolutely love the Black Dog Wharf. We are long term returning customers and can't wait for our next trip to the Black Dog Wharf. Morgan and Brook operate a great Marina. They are always on hand to help at arrival with tie up and help at departure. They immediately tie on your boat there marina fenders and boards to keep the fenders in place. Docks and restrooms are kept spotless. Coupons to get fresh coffee and or muffin's are given out for every guest on board during your stay, at the Black Dog Cafe. BDW offers easy access to the MVRTA bus's, if you want to go to OB, Edgartown or anywhere the bus's run on the island. Love the easy, laid back vibe of downtown Vineyard Haven. Highly recommend a visit to the BDW.

The Black Dog Wharf was great. Cheryl was wonderful in the time of need. We will certainly revisit another year.

Or stay at the black dog wharf was a mixed bag of great and horrible. First, the horrible part was that it was blowing fairly significantly out of the northeast, and we were at the dock in a slip with the boat granted parallel to the incoming waves. I’ve never experienced a worse nights sleep because our saber 48 was rocking port to starboard so severely. Even the Sabres next to us with sea keepers were rocking severely. Now for the good part. Everybody there was super friendly and it’s a beautiful little place to stay. Our meal at the black dog Tavern was absolutely scrumptious as was our breakfast at their bakery. If I had to do it again, I would rather have been out at a mooring in those conditions. Better yet, just don’t stay there when it’s blowing out of the northeast if you can help it.

This is our favorite location to bring our boat. Always a Fantastic time at the Black Dog Wharf. Great dockage, friendly and professional staff, and the best merchandise on the island!
