It’s great reserving with Old Port to know you have a mooring in Newport. The location is the best in the harbor! They always answer messages promptly and are very friendly.

We’ve had wonderful experiences with Oldport Marine Services. The moorings are strong, secure, and well maintained, giving us great peace of mind. Their launch service is always friendly, efficient, and reliable, and the staff go out of their way to make every trip easy and enjoyable. What really stands out is their excellent communication—they are responsive, helpful, and keep you informed when it matters. A great team, dependable service, and a marina experience you can count on. Highly recommend Oldport Marine Services!

Right from the start the staff was friendly and there to help us. As we pulled in the launch boat escorted us to our mooring which was a big help. Also the parts department was well stocked with supplies. Newport is such a beautiful city and very boat friendly.

Mooring pennant was water logged and far too large for our 30 ft boat - wife had great difficulty getting it out of the water with the boat hook. Also, the spliced eye was made up of massive line that did not fit over our cleats . I had to run up and use a dock line looped through the pennant . Not good

Courteous and helpful office staff and launch crews. Always make you feel like a valued guest. Newport is always a great place to visit. We have been coming here for 46 years. Old port is always nice.

Loved the mooring field location. Front & center. Loved the floating water pier for boats 45' and less to fill up water. Would highly recommend Oldport.

Your scale is not working above. It was a great stay, we had to cut it short do to a family emergency at home. We were on a mooring, it was great. Harbor is really nice to take the tender around. The Maritime Center was close and had ice and place to put trash. Launch service was everywhere if you need it. No complaints.

by Paula M. - Verified user on Aug 17, 2026

Great location in a harbor that is WAY too crowded. We were a two min dinghy ride to the center of the waterfront wharf area. The folks we interacted with from Oldport were friendly and knowledgeable. Our first time staying in the harbor.
