As a delivery Captain I have to know where to go for emergencies. If you've read my Blog "Captain BullDog Thal " you'll see I least the best ports from Maine to Florida. Port Milford is my port in a storm near the Brigeport area and unlike Bridgeport or New Haven you don't have to run like hell to get into town. Port Milford is a quaint full service marina and Milford is a foodie town. read more

They promised to have the boat off the rack on Wednesday and ready for my Thursday pickup. My hauler arrived on Thursday and had to wait for an hour and a half while they removed it from the rack and got it ready for him. They also didn't have the mast with the boat, so he luckily realized this asked them to hunt it down. My hauler of course charged me $50 for his time waiting. I approached Port Milford about offsetting this expense, which I feel was the obvious right thing to do, given that the extra charge was 100% due to them going back on what they promised me. They declined to make it right. This place charges a lot of money for their services. They have a reputation in the community for being just about the most expensive place one can store a boat in the area. And I don't mean I heard one time from one guy. I mean I know a lot of Milford boaters, and I know only one willing to pay their rates. This would be fine, if they didn't also have a reputation for being flaky on things like this. With my brief experience, they confirmed what I had heard around town. UPDATE: Employee Bill Wolf made the following unprofessional comment on my Facebook review: "I saw your "Boat",and its no wonder you post bad reviews over a $50 bill." Maybe I'm not wealthy enough to be entitled to good service from Port Milford? read more

My experience with Port Milford in 2020 was a disaster. They hauled my sailboat for what I thought would be routine maintenance. Wash and wax was done promptly. Hull looked great. Topside not as good. The rest of my experience with Port Milford went down hill. They replaced rusted and corroded parts I didn't request and had previously been operational. I trusted there word. Some engine parts took months to get from manufacturer. Communication from Port Milford was poor Many delays. Engine was working before it was tuned up. The boat was never launched in Summer 2020 because Port Milford had not completed repairs. When I was told some things were completed, I discovered that hoses and clamps were not attached as it should have been when work is completed. I feel the quality of work and communication from the current management does not compare to the professionalism of the former management and other marinas I have worked with. By late August/early September, I learned the Port Milford never started the engine in April to diagnose any issues. I was told I should buy a new diesel inboard engine. They would not rebuild engine nor recommend a rebuild mechanic though they swapped out a number of old parts for new ones. Again, the boat was working the year before including my starting it in winter (which I have done on this boat and others for 30 years). I had them return my boat to the water in December 2020. At that point, the engine was not fully reassembled as promised and expected. Had to have another mechanic finish the assembly I have lost faith in Port Milford. read more

Same location, but not the same experience. Under new management and the service rates are higher. Was quoted the higher price and was charged even more when I went to pick up the boat. Get everything in writing or would advise to go some place else. read more
