By Private Boat

Block Island is one of the foremost yachting destinations in New England. It has two excellent harbors:

Old Harbor on the East Side of the Island is protected by a breakwater and has limited space for dockage at the town dock. It is right in the center of town opposite the National Hotel.

Old Harbor is nice, but it includes: a commercial ferry landing, limited dockage, no anchoring space inside the breakwater.

New Harbor on the West Side of the Island, Great Salt Pond.

This harbor is about 15 minutes from town. It is within an enclosed salt pond, has 3 marinas, 100 town moorings and anchorage for 1000 yachts.                         Back To Home Page
