What Noank Shipyard and Seaport Marine does

Noank Shipyard and Seaport Marine is a full-service, family-friendly marina located at 145 Pearl Street in Noank, Connecticut, at the mouth of the Mystic River in southeastern Connecticut. The company operates 150+ floating slips accommodating vessels up to 200 feet, including 120V/30/50/100-amp electrical service and complimentary WiFi, plus a mooring field for vessels up to 45 feet LOA with 6-foot drafts. Beyond dockage, the marina runs a 70-ton Travel Lift supporting 24-hour emergency hauling, and offers on-site mechanical, rigging, mast/sail/canvas, fiberglass and paint (Gel Coat and Awl Grip), carpentry, varnish, marine electronics, marine head/tank, bottom washing, detailing (buff, wax, polishing, anti-fouling), and pump-out services. It also provides multi-format winter storage (indoor, outdoor, mast-down, in-water) with shrink-wrapping and spring commissioning, plus a full-service fuel dock selling gas, diesel (slow and high-speed), and oils/additives.

The business operates six revenue streams: subscription-recurring seasonal dockage (May 1–October 31) and moorings, usage-based transient dockage at $5 per foot (2025), consumption-based fuel sales, subscription winter storage (November 1–April 30), and project/transactional marine services. Pricing for seasonal, winter, and moorings is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the company website (noankshipyard.com), a 24/7 phone line (860-556-2000), and the Dockwa online booking marketplace, supported by Facebook/Instagram, Google Reviews (five-star), and an email newsletter. The marina is operated and managed by TPG Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (Cranston, RI) under the tpgmarinas.com domain, with the entity legally known as Noank Shipyard and Seaport Marine and doing business as Noank Shipyard and Seaport Marine. The company employs 11–50 people and was recognized with the marinas.com/Dockwa Elite Fleet 2024 designation.

The customer base is segmented into transient boaters and yacht owners traveling between Block Island, Fisher's Island, Newport, and Long Island (short-term dockage, fuel, overnight stays) and seasonal and local boat owners using the marina as a home port year-round (seasonal slips, winter storage, on-site maintenance). Geographic reach is regional within southeastern Connecticut and broader New England, with the marina's location at the Mystic River mouth functioning as a natural gateway stop for cruising yacht traffic along the Northeast coast.
