NarragansettBay.com is the crown jewel of maritime domain assets in southern New England. Covering 147 square miles of deep-water tidal estuary with over 400 miles of coastline, Narragansett Bay is the defining marine highway of Rhode Island, connecting the open waters of Rhode Island Sound and Block Island Sound with the historic commercial ports of Newport, Quonset Point, Bristol, and Providence.
The bay is divided into two primary navigation corridors: the East Passage (controlling depth 40 to 60+ feet, accommodating naval vessels, mega-yachts, and commercial freight passing beneath the 215-foot clearance Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge) and the West Passage (flanked by Conanicut Island and the South County mainland, bridged by the 135-foot clearance Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge).
