Rhody Resources: Boating

A hard launch of listings for sailors of all skill levels

Posted

The Ocean State offers some of New England’s finest boating experiences. With scenic waterways and picturesque harbors, there’s something for every captain. To assist with navigation, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide of Rhode Island businesses, resources, and services. In this annual section, you’ll find dealerships ready to help you discover the perfect vessel, providers for your boating needs, and cafes specializing in pre-packed boat meals – even one that delivers drinks and provisions right to your boat. There are fishing charters, rentals, and waterfront restaurants that provide slips or docks so boaters can go from boat to table. It’s never too late to decide if the sailor’s life is for you!
