As of June 1, 2020 any transient vessel coming from a state that does not have shelter in place requirements is not required to quarantine. They are allowed at the marinas to dock and are able to get off their vessels. I advise you to contact the private marina before coming over to check with their regulations.
The Town moorings are installed and are available first come first serve, we do not take reservations. Hail the Harbormaster on VHF CH 12 for further assistance.
Pumpout service is operational and available on VHF CH 12.
The public dinghy dock is available.
The Town dock is operational in Old Harbor. Again, we do not take reservations. Hail the Old Harbor Dockmaster on VHF CH 12 for further assistance.
We ask everyone to adhere to the social distancing guidelines and bring a mask with you if you are going to an establishment that may require one.
We look forward to seeing you on the Pond!
Please review and adhere to the following applicable Phase 2 Re-opening guidelines for:

============================================================
May 8, 2020 Moving forward, the Harbors Department will be following the Rhode Island State regulations and RIDEM guidelines. These can be found at https://www.dem.ri.gov. Marina facilities are limited to seasonal slip holders only. The use of marina facilities by transient and out of state vessels is prohibited for now, but they may get fuel or water. Out of state vessels still need to self quarantine for 14 days. Please be sure to contact your marina before you come over.
We will be installing our emergency and town moorings next week for those vessels who do not want to anchor. Rafting will not be permitted on moorings for now. We have pumpout service in New Harbor.
Out of state vessels must register with the Department of Health and can follow the link: https://health.ri.gov/covid.
Adhere to social distancing guidelines and protocols.
Things are changing weekly, so for any other concerns and questions, please do not hesitate to contact the office at 1-401-466-3204.
