New Transient Facilities in Newport

[Soundbounder]

The Ann Street Pier offers public dockage for vessels up to 40 feet, a dinghy dock, pump-out facility, trash disposal and a stop for the harbor shuttle.

The Maritime Center will be administered by Newport Harbormaster Tim Mills, a Portsmouth resident, and managed by his assistant, Sara Schroeder. Hours of operation will be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. Boaters can contact the center on VHF Channel 09, by phone at 401/845-5870 or e-mail at sschroeder@cityofnewport.com.

Newport’s new Maritime Center is scheduled to open in late May. Located in the Newport Armory, the $1.46 million facility is owned by the City of Newport and the project has been in the planning stages since 2008.

Soundbounder,

Glad you posted that. Was reading about this last night.
Nice to have something at the end of the town / dingy dock. Used to always go in that beautiful building to look at antiques . May impact the Seamen’s institute though, which offers the same kind of amenities.

I was thinking the same thing, but there is definitely a need for more showers
