Hunkered down here for a couple nights while Fiona caused high winds and seas in the area. The dock boards have all been replaced, staff was great and let us borrow some larger/extra fenders for the storm. WiFi is fast. Great HOT showers. Only down sides are the price and fixed docks which seem to be normal for the area though.

Called ahead for a 2 night reservation & was told they could accommodate my boat on their long dock. On the second day we were told we couldn't stay there because they had a larger boat coming in. The slips they offered us were unusable. There was no way to get off or on my boat. Totally absurd. We left Vineyard Haven. It was a dusty dump. Then the Black Dog marina tried to charge us for the second night. They backed down after some harsh conversations. In 5 months of cruising the East Coast, this was the only awful marina we experienced. Very cheap thinking ownership.
