Very friendly Marina with excellent bathrooms & showers. Great facility & great folks. Were able to accommodate us when a family emergency occurred necessitating a flight home and getting an alternate crew member.
Museum (Ships) was great and the mooring balls appear secure. Many restaurants close; however, no other facilities. Dinghy dock was secure but could use some upgrades.
Great communications, very friendly & timely launch driver, great location. Easy to get to the historic downtown area whaling museum & sailors bethel. Facility is secure with entry vis a key fob. We’ll be back!!
Spent two nights on a mooring. Early season, but Point independence Yatch Club was open. Mark promptly responded to our request with the gate code & the code to the clubhouse. Facilities were very nice & exceptionally clean. Laundry was very nice & affordable, $1.50 load for each machine, two washers & three dryers. Great facility, very welcoming, offered to take me to CVS about 2 miles but I needed the walk. Onset is nice with several restaurants & bars, a grocery/liquor store , and an ACE hardware all within a Short walk. We will be back!
What a wonderful place to stay. Good moorings with plenty of room for our46 ft catamaran. Free breakfast each morning which was excellent, launch service that was timely & friendly, full use of all their toys: kayaks, SUPs, Rhodes 19’s. Pickleball courts, pingpong, table hockey, great bar and a free hourly shuttle to Boothbay Harbor proper. So you get the Boothbay experience without the crowds noise & constant motion from all the boat traffic.
Great place, we’ll be back!!
Moored here in Late September 2021. Good location, nice faculties, excellent restaurant and close to everything you need.
We spent five days a the capital Yatch club in October. Wonderful facility, great location, centrally located, ease of transportation, good food, good shopping and excellent service by the staff. Very clean restrooms, excellent and relatively inexpensive laundry facilities. We will be back.
Spent two days on October. Exceptional Marina, great location, good food in the restaurant and deli. Top notch bathrooms, clean spacious and lots of hot water. We’ll be back.
We used the town mooring on our way south in September. Great staff, exceptional dinghy dock (best we’ve seen). Lot’s to do on block island. We’ll be back.
While the marina is a little old , it is well maintained, clean and secure. We spent 7 weeks there last summer. The Harbormaster Mike & His assistant Bill were exceptionally service oriented. The City’s waterfront director Richard was out and about daily. The waterfront is being constantly and consistently improved. They did not have diesel fuel last year but it was supposed to be in place over the winter. Bucksport is a nice quiet laid- back location. We will be spending JULY there again this year. Spent 10 weeks here this summer due to a family emergency in the area. The Marina Facilities have been upgraded since last year, diesel now available. Big plans for expansion. We cannot say enough positives about the staff, Mike, Bill & Richard. Police patrol multiple times a day, so the facility is very secure. While not big, Bucksport has much offer. Several local restaurants, supermarket a 10 minute walk, nice theater, and great ice cream. The hidden gem Is Wine By Design. Upscale Tapas, wine & craft beers, with live music In a nice outdoor setting which is heated for the spring & fall. We’ll be back next year again.
Stopped in to get fuel and were cheerfully met at the dock. Service was fast and friendly. We did not stay in the marina but the dock hand directed us to a quiet, serene and beautiful anchorage about 1/2 mile away. The marina recently changed hands and the née owners are expected to make improvements.
Spent 5 great days in Waterside marina. Many good restaurants in the area on Granby street. Many museums & activities. Public transportation easily available. Dock hands and quality of the marina were top notch. Clean secure with exceptional service. We will be back.
