We received clear instructions which made it easy to find our mooring after dark. It was in a prime location close to town and the launch was still running so late in the season. We had fun in Newport during a couple of days when it was too rough to be underway.

Great location and staff was very helpful in directing us to our mooring. Wish we had more time, but we will be back! However, I was disappointed to find that the town showers closed at 2pm on this Monday.

We love staying on a mooring with Oldport Marine Services, they are very accommodating, answer any questions you may have very quickly, and will work with you to help with any changes you may need. Beautiful views of the harbor & easy into downtown Newport.

Mooring was easy too find, launch service convenient to the middle of town, and launch hours good for a late season stay.

Excellent stay. The mooring had a clean pennant with a pickup stick. The launch lead us to the mooring and was quick with all trips into town.
