Newport Yachting Center Marina

What Newport Yachting Center Marina does

Newport Yachting Center Marina is a privately held, for-profit transient marina founded in 1979 in Newport, Rhode Island. The marina operates from a single waterfront location at 20 Commercial Wharf and provides dockage, marine fuel, electrical hookups, pump-out, and ancillary services to visiting recreational boaters and luxury yacht owners. It offers more than 2,500 feet of floating dock space capable of accommodating vessels up to 180 feet, supported by 30, 50, and 100 AMP electrical service, ValvTect certified gasoline and ultra-low-sulfur diesel, and on-site boat maintenance through partners Brewer Street Boatworks and Oldport Marine.

The business sells dockage on a per-foot, per-night basis with seasonal pricing tiers that escalate from $5 per foot per night in the off-peak window to $14 per foot per night for vessels of 100 feet or more during the peak June 19 to September 7 season. Electricity is billed separately at $20, $40, or $100 per night depending on amperage, and fuel is sold at retail with bulk pricing for larger vessels. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through an online reservation system, a toll-free phone line, and on-site sales during posted office hours. The marina monetizes its location in historic downtown Newport through complementary destination partnerships, including Hammetts Hotel for lodging, Marriott for fitness amenities, and The Bohlin for event hosting, alongside its role as a key destination venue for the Newport International Boat Show.

The customer base is exclusively transient and seasonal, with no disclosed recurring contracts, enterprise accounts, or subscription relationships. Operations are concentrated in a single New England market with stated visibility to destinations such as Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Cape Cod, and the Boston/New York corridor. The company is independently operated with a small management team (4 named staff) and reports 11-50 employees, with no parent company, institutional investors, or M&A activity disclosed.
