Shaw's Boatyard

Tucked along the Taunton River in the quiet town of Dighton, Shaw’s Boatyard is a welcoming stop for cruisers exploring Southern New England. Just a short run from Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay, the boatyard offers a calm, protected harbor with easy access to some of the region’s most scenic cruising waters.

The marina features slips for vessels up to 103′ LOA and 26′ beam, along with mooring balls that can accommodate boats up to 45′. Transient and seasonal guests enjoy flexible options, whether staying for a night, a week, or longer. The property also serves as a full-service boatyard, providing everything from fiberglass and wood repairs to engine work, electronics installation, paint, gelcoat, and winter storage.

Shaw’s Boatyard’s riverside location offers the best of both worlds—peaceful surroundings away from heavy marina traffic, yet close to historic waterfront towns, local dining, and cruising destinations throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It’s a practical and charming home base for boaters seeking quality service and a relaxed New England marina experience.
