Spring Boat Prep: Docking Tips from Our Wickford Marina

As the weather warms up, it’s time to get your vessel—and your dock—ready for another great boating season. At Pleasant Street Wharfs, our marina staff works with boaters each spring to make sure everything from mooring lines to engine systems is good to go.

This post covers essential spring prep tips, including cleaning and inspecting hulls, checking dock lines, testing onboard systems, and scheduling maintenance. A little preparation now can mean a stress-free season on the water in Wickford Harbor.

Don’t forget to check your registration, safety gear, and fuel systems, too. Our team is happy to provide recommendations for local marine service providers, or offer hands-on help right from the dock.
