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.

Carter and his 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 !
