Best marina in Newport. Great dock hands. Very clean bathroom facilities. I asked them before arrival if I could hip tie my boston whaler off my stern. They said no problem. We arrived and they had me put my whaler right off my bow. I was able to take a beautiful ride around the harbor. It was great. We will be back!!!

Carter and Evan and their crew are the best. He always goes out of his way to help us. The marina is very well run and super clean. Dead center in the harbor makes a great location to Thames street and all the action. Carter knows our favorite area for our boat and does his best to accommodate us. Thanks again for all your help Storm Shield !

Facilities are good, floating docks, and friendly dock staff. It is pricy and I would avoid Fridays and Saturdays as it is a prime wedding venue and the music gets pretty loud. But if you need a dock with great access to town, Newport Yachting Center is ideal.

Everything was very good, but the internet was not consistent. We were able to watch TV, but I could not connect my laptop nor my phone when inside the boat. The staff is extremely helpful.

It was good. Our favorite marina. The Wfi was terrible. Could not get a signal.
We would prefer the South side over the North. A lot of water transportation vehicles going by.

We docked at Newport Yachting Center last week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The level of assistance and customer service was truly exceptional.
The location is simply unparalleled. Situated in the heart of Newport, everything is within walking distance, allowing for easy access to restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. The convenience, combined with the outstanding hospitality, made for an exceptional experience.
We look forward to returning and highly recommend Newport Yachting Center to fellow boaters.
