All good for us, but watched a twin engine Boston Whaler hit a finger pier as it was pulling out, some permutation of strong current and perhaps brewery consumption. In the captain's defense current running through the docks was strong, so be aware.

Very nice and new docks. There are no dock hands or anyone to assist you, so make sure you have someone on your boat to help to tie up. Warning, there is Very strong current from the river.

We really had fun at Dockside. The proprietor, Dan Bagley, greeted us on our first night there and helped to tie up the boat. The current is strong but manageable. The restaurant / bar attached had great food and served as a great focal point for meeting friends and family. This will be our marina for future visits to CT.

No dock hands but reasonable price and brewery and restaurant right there. Def need to be mindful of current It’s very strong there. Pleasant stay.

This is a great location with a fun Brewery attached. The only access to bathrooms is at the Brewery. The dock is gated off from the Brewery to keep people from wandering near the boats. The biggest problem we had was in communication because the phone goes to the Brewery and the staff doesn't really know how to handle the boat traffic. If you can navigate this issue, and don't need ready access to bathrooms, this was a great place. Also, there are no dockhands to help, but it was easy to tie up. The depths were good and the docks were in good condition.

New slips, great restaurant / Brewery, tough current at times for docking, no access to bathroom after hours. Good experience.

Lots of spots. No dock help. We were only at the restaurant for 1 1/2 hours. Wish the rate was a bit more flexible for restaurant patrons.

Really great and accommodating. The Brewery attached is phenomenal. Had some concerns with a 7' draft but was able to navigate without issue, will visit again.

Stay was fine and socks are nicely configured. My interaction with the Marina was entirely digital, so I didn’t encounter any personnel. First visit but I will be back.

Docking facilities we're good. Restrooms were clean in the morning. I wish they had shower facilities. Overall, a good experience.

We love dockside’s.
our experience staying is always great.
We always eat at the restaurant even when we don’t stay over night.
We stay every weekend and we enjoy it.
I’ll definitely recommend to other boaters.
See you next weekend.

The good: newer dock, clean, locked entry, large slips and next to a good restaurant/brewery, they charge by the day not the hour, great communication on dockwa app. The things to know: no dockhands,slight current. Lastly I think the cost should be offset at the restaurant if you spend a certain amount, since that's the only thing to visit from these docks. (I didn't try the electric but someone was complaining it wasn't working when I was there but there's no staff at the dock to help.)

Brewery and restaurant are great. No shower or bathroom facilities
by Timothy O. on Jul 29, 2023
Nice Dock and Dine location. But $1 a foot for the privilege of buying lunch and drinks is obscene. The management should reconsider. Lunch was good but a 50% tax for docking is too much. Don’t support this practice.

Very nice marina and super clean. Dockside brewery made the stay very enjoyable.
Wicked current so, keep that in mind.
