Everything about our visit was 2 star: service atmosphere and food. The Clam Chowder could have been called Potato Soup with a little bit of clam. The Fish Tacos made my tummy feel a little fishy. The Shark Bites tasted so fishy that all four members of our party lost any desire for fish. Kudos for our waitresses imaginative splitting of the check. Everyone was represented on each check in some way. In defense of the staff, they overheard us complain among ourselves about the food. They asked a few times if everything was ok. None of us return food though; it's part of the social contract. Come on people. Anyway, if you find yourself on Goat Island I recommend eating elsewhere.

This is our first year docking at GI. Thus far Absolutely perfect in every regard. The customer service provided by the Dock Master and his staff are exceptional. Clean facilities, nice people, incredible location. Many of the members have been at GI for 10-20 years. There is a great bar and grill next door- good food and drinks. Newport is very accessible by foot or harbor taxi.

Considering how high dockage and electricity rates are at Goat Island Marina, we certainly expected more. The docks are in poor condition and far from well maintained. The marina staff are very nice and helpful. The restaurant on site was great.

“This year, the parade committee is delighted to have chosen Margaret Mary “Muffin” Dubuc, as Parade Marshall,” says spokesperson, Matt Gineo in a statement. “Muffin, a local Newporter and avid sailor, was commodore of the Goat Island Yacht Club, a volunteer and fundraiser for many historic sailing events and regattas, and a consummate friend of the Newport waterfront. The parade will feature a variety of watercraft that call Narragansett Bay home, including leisure boats of all sizes, commercial boats, fishing boats, U.S. Coast Guard vessel, and the classic schooner, Tree of Life,” added Gineo.

Magnificently decorated vessels will compete for a first-place award in the following categories: Best Decorated Sailboat (commercial and recreational), Best Decorated Powerboat (commercial and recreational), Best Decorated Fishing Boat, and, the parade’s most entertaining category, The Tim Mills  Team Spirit Award  newly named this year.

SAILING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

Goat Island, with its stunning views of Narragansett Bay, Newport Harbour, and the Newport Bridge, has over the years been the home of Indians, pirates, goats, colonial soldiers, and naval torpedo engineers. Today, Goat Island is a tranquil haven for residents, visitors to a 4-star hotel, and sailing enthusiasts. The island is connected via a causeway bridge to Newport, host to the America’s Cup races from 1930 to 1983, and home to the New York Yacht Club. The hotel’s own state-of-the-art marina, featuring 22 slips for vessels ranging from tenders to yachts up to 125 feet in length, was designed and delivered by SF Marina. As it is exposed to the northern fetch of Narragansett Bay, which can produce very strong waves in the off-season, the marina is protected by an advanced floating wave attenuator. Utilities, such as three-phase power, water and pump-out, are concealed in a customised duct system, keeping the pontoons totally clutter free. Solid pre-cast concrete fingers provide a better approach for yachts when docking. Gurney’s Marina was opened in January 2017.
