Most competent and Thorough Shipyard I’ve ever been at in 50 years of boating. Clear evaluations of issues, description of proposed fixes. Yard manager, service manager, mechanics, rigger, I couldn’t ask for better!

It was ok. Great location by walking right into Essex but as far as a Quality of a marina goes, there was no one around to help, no store, Just a slip to stay in and desolate in all other ways. It was disappointing the WiFi was not working Especially since cell service here is weak. If you just want a very quiet place near town, it’s a decent choice.

Had a great time At Dauntless Shipyard. Essex was fun to explore. The pool was quiet and comfortable. The restaurant had a great view of the yard and the food was great. The yard staff person did a great job.

My family and I had a great two night stay at the Dauntless Shipyard in Essex this past weekend. The staff there is terrific!, we got our slip assignment quickly and there was a dock hand there to help us tie up. After checking in we spent a couple hours swimming in their pool and then did some shopping in town. Saturday evening the marina put on a catered block party, very nice! We started Sunday with a great breakfast at the marina restaurant on the deck over looking the yard and river...fun and relaxing weekend, great place 👍

Dauntless Essex marina is a pretty, pristine and peaceful place to stay. Friendly, easy to dock, and Essex is such a great stop.
