Great location and easy launch ride into town.

Excellent customer service. Dockwa is a great addition for OldPort. Rather than the launch drivers still trying to juggle so many different things at once, the Dockwa system is very user friendly to boaters for mooring assignment. Kudos to OldPort for making the change from frenetic fist-come, first-served approach. Thanks,

Moorings are right near shore and at the center of activity. Launch drivers were all great

The mooring field is very convenient to the Newport docks. Oldport Marine was very responsive on the VHF. The moorings are well maintained. The launch drivers were very friendly and skilled. All in all a great 3 night stay in Newport for us on our 38’ sailboat.

Great location for exploring Newport.

Always a great experience with all the staff and tender operators. One suggestion: the moorings are getting pretty dirty and it's hard to see the numbers. Need a good cleaning half way through the season. Can't wait for next season.

The transient mooring field is in a great location. Old port staff are very flexible to scheduling and easy to contact. Communication was excellent from original reservation to departure.

They were ready for us when we arrived and lead us right to the mooring. We had a Great night in Newport, visited the Fort and went out to dinner at the Mooring Restaurant.

Great access and assistance.

by James C. - Verified user on May 27, 2025
Only issue is that the welcome email states launch service is $4, when in fact they charge $5. No big deal, but a bit confusing.
