A great welcome to Maine. The current rips through here, but Dave the dockmaster will direct you in and out safely at slack tide. Once in, the small marina is neat and clean. The area is well worth a visit.
This was our 5th stay in Gloucester (We love Glouceste). We have anchored twice and been on inner harbor moorings 2 other times, but it has been 3 years since we were last there. The improvements to their facilities are first class and their operation and staff work hard to make your stay successful. We thought the mooring fee was very reasonable for the services provided: the showere were brand new and well designed.
I love Mystic and Fort Rachel is a great location. The marina has new excellent docks; easy in and out; clean, well maintained facilities; super helpful staff. Groceries and West Marine are both a couple of miles away. Amtrak whizzes by regularly, but that didn't bother us at all. Overall, one of my favorite stops.
