Really competent group, well documented mooring field so you’re not wandering around looking for your mooring. Great spot to visit Newport.

High quality tackle on the moorings. In the middle of the activity.

We had a perfect stay with Oldport Marine on one their rental moorings. They honored our request to be near the Maritime Center at Ann Street for easy access to showers and laundry. They also were able to accommodate additional days. At the end of the day, it’s just a mooring but super nice people to deal with at Oldport and extremely responsive. Could not ask for a better interaction. Thank you for a great stay!

Beware! The mooring field the advertise on here is not where they actually put you. We were placed over by Fort Adams about as far from the town as you can get. The mooring ended up being to close to adjacent vessels so we had to leave early when the wind shift and started pushing us close to another vessel.

Great location. Easy access to town.

I can't say enough about this marina and their team. On one of the busiest weekends of the entire year, they were able to help me sort out a mooring issue on both a Friday and Saturday. They didn't need to help me as the issue was not theirs. But they did. They saved the weekend. Without them it would have most certainly been significantly more difficult. A specific shout out to Will who was the main reason it all worked out. He was an absolute magician. Thank you Will as well as the rest of your teammates. I will never use any other marina in Newport again. Rob "High Pressure"

Awesome staff launch drivers very helpful, but they has us on mooring 16 next to a dock for the boat show which banged around all night.. It was terrible!

Excellent overall-only suggestion is to have WiFi available.

by greg r. - Verified user on Jul 21, 2026
The mooring was easy to find. We received our assignment the night before and headed right to it when we arrived in Newport.

Excellent directions to an excellent mooring. Launch operator was very helpful and personable.

Prompt reliable, launch service. Convenient mooring locations

by Elsie J. - Verified user on Jul 17, 2026
We arrived Monday for 3 nights and were put on mooring 153. Would have preferred something closer to town but it was ok until Wednesday night when the wind changed direction and we were playing bumper boats with Amelia Mae. fortunately our dinghy acted as a big fender and saved us from any damage. This mooring is not suited for a forty foot boat. Please keep this in mind. Otherwise we love Newport and will return soon.

Newport is wonderful as always. I inadvertently booked the wrong day and they were able to correct my error and provide me with a mooring once a couple of days before our visit. Launch staff very accommodating
