Very nice marina with an excellent staff of dock hands. The location is ideal in terms of storm protection and immediate walking distance to the charming town of Port Jefferson. There is also a fine restaurant at the marina. There is also a fuel dock.

Nice marina. Helpful staff

by leochomen on Aug 23, 2020

Great facilities awesome location. Dock hands right there for assistance. Warning tight turn with unmarked rock near dock2. Use caution. Should be marked

We had a good experience at Danfords. Solid floating docks which kept us secure during Tropical storm Isaias. Located right in town with all kinds of restaurants and shops. Dock staff was very competent and professional. Good nearby parks for dog happiness.

Tropical storm Isaias blew over while we were here, dock master checked before, during and after to make sure everything was fine. Watched them secure blowing covers etc. on unattended boats. Great crew they have

I thought it was very noisy. Live music at the on-site restaurant was the typical blaring noise that sounds even worse when you are 300' away and the ferry dock is adjacent so the sound and exhaust of large diesel engines is nearly constant. There is no pool. We had to drive home about 8 nails that were popping up from the dock around our slip. Having said all that, it seems to be a popular place. The village is very nice as is the large harbor. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

What a great stop! Olivia and Kyle and the rest of the staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating! Can’t wait to come back!

Well Dockwa never confirmed, so I had to call and confirm myself, not sure why I need Dockwa. Marina Sent my 6’ draft through 4.5’ at low tide To get to slip, no warning. No electric, got to review my bill to be sure I wasn’t charged .

Great place. Marina, food and grounds! Incredible

The Marina is a beautiful marina. The docks are in excellent shape. The dock assistants are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The checkin process was efficient. Security on the docks is excellent. But there are several unfortunate issues. The marina advertises wireless internet on Dockwa and their website. There is no signal on the dock except at the extreme end of the docks at the hotel. Unfortunately the hotel has the wireless internet not the marina. Also both places advertise cable television. That does not exist either. By the looks of the cable connections it’s been quite a while. I asked and I was told no we don’t have cable and they are not sure why they say that they do. And as far as the wireless they said it’s unfortunate but they have no options. A repeater maybe? A node on the docks maybe. I would come back again for an overnight but with different expectations.

Great facility. Attentive staff.

by hdevries919 on Jun 16, 2020

We were unfortunately placed next to a boat that hosted a party on the dock 40+ people in Covid environment which went on until midnight. High intoxicated, rowdy crowd ignored by marina staff. The following night a second party got completely out of hand with a fistfight, someone falling off a boat, and a middle aged woman passing out on the dock after a vulgar domestic argument. All of this was while the dock staff were in their building 30 feet away, who ignored it. Never again.

Beautiful port and really helpful and friendly staff.

by eagle_25 on Nov 22, 2019

I was a late season transit south and was picking ports based on the weather (duh). Kyle fit me in when the marina was basically empty and took care of me like it was high season. A truly positive experience- I’ll be back!

by heroncap on Oct 13, 2019

Brand new docks- super clean. Very helpful dock staff. Lively restaurant right on premises. Pretty historic town to walk around.

by normnott on Sep 02, 2019

Nice but very busy/hectic place. (Restaurants, ferry, spa, etc.) Also pretty expensive.

by mjsalvatore9 on Sep 02, 2019

Danfords is always a great weekend. Easy docking, excellent service, and right in town.

by reelcharmer on Aug 21, 2019

Excellent stay. The deckhands were great and knew their stuff. Marina shower/bathrooms were new and clean. There was live music all night at Danford's Wave Restaurant. Can't wait to go back.

by kr4us1 on Aug 20, 2019

Great marina and staff. Very Friendly staff and helpful.. Would come again!

by desparato on Aug 20, 2019

The only problem we had with the marina was the placement of our boat. The water was extremely shallow. Our Dept sounder read: -1’ Otherwise the marina was excellent. The restaurant in the hotel, however, was horrible! Food was not good and two of our guests got some kind of food poisoning. The restaurant was the main reason for this poor review.

by aplsk9 on Aug 19, 2019

wifi did not work all weekend, needed for business. fitness center was flooded, could not work out. Shower rack was broken so unable to use marine shower. Don't get me wrong I love this marina and amenities but if I had my choice this stay would be comped for all that wasn't working this weekend.

by mightymac on Aug 11, 2019

stay was great, great slip, right in town, friendly dock staff, will be back

by tombruno on Aug 11, 2019

Always a great stop. The staff is very helpful and the town is alive.

by herbkaiser on Aug 04, 2019

Accommodated us after we changed the date and they had a large charity event taking up all of the slips.

by goofeyone on Jul 29, 2019

Docks & electric were upgraded since last visit. New Dockmaster/staff are awesome! We will return!

by harbour1 on Jul 21, 2019

Great destination and staff was professional

by chopras on Jul 15, 2019

good restaurant food. Great atmosphere. Wish there was a pool and wish the dock area was locked 24hr/day to keep general people traffic off and away from our boats. currently only locked overnight.

by amazinggrace_o322 on Jun 25, 2019

Great stay overnight at Danford's Marina. New Marina facilities is a major improvement for transients. Staff are always helpful and you are a short walk to the heart of Port Jeff's activities!

by brendav on Jun 24, 2019

Very expensive for very few amenities, showers needed to be cleaned, no hot water

by scottmagoon on Nov 02, 2018

Great location and nice, helpful dock hands. We’ll be back!

by rdaquila on Sep 03, 2018

I never respond to these but this time I really have to...the marina staff went totally out of their way to make sure all our needs were met. They brought out tables and chairs for our groups buffet breakfast and repeatedly asked if there was anything they could assist with. They were over-and-above with great, friendly, service.

by jeffgarcia on Aug 30, 2018

Great staff. Excellent and clean facilities

by asmits on Aug 24, 2018

The dock staff were great, as always. However, the “new” showers developed for the marinas guests were a disappointment. The shower stalls were tiny, the areas were poorly designed, and there was no complimentary soap/shampoo.

by doublejd on Jul 17, 2018

Excellent facility, friendly staff, the best dockhand we have ever encountered

by jbsahrbeck on Sep 06, 2017

Positives: well protected marina, walking distance to downtown Negatives: semi-welcoming dock hands, located directly next to the ferry with hourly departures, slightly industrial setting

by jra on Aug 28, 2017

all good a boater spilled some gas and it was problematic for awhile

by fabw67suzudjvzs7amke on Aug 14, 2017

The food was so bad cold over cook Rather eat at McDonald's at the wave No bath room for shower. Had you use a room to shower The only thing that was good is the dock hands were Great Will not be back

by aquatt on Aug 13, 2017

The dock hands where very helpful and friendly

by ttaussig on Jul 30, 2017

Beautiful harbor and marina right in center of town. Both nights outdoor live music guitar playing for cocktails

by galdy21 on Oct 13, 2010

Danfords is a very well operated and maintained marina. I have a 33ft express cruiser and I found the slips to be of ample size and there is plenty of maneuvering room in the fairway. The staff is very courteous and helpful. The hotel is beautiful but we noticed that boaters are treated as second class people, they cater to their other guests. The showers for the boaters can only be accessed by walking out to main street. Port Jefferson isn't really a boater friendly place. There's no place near by to buy groceries, liquor, or marine supplies/hardware. Nice for an over-nighter but not for an extended stay.
