Boothbay Harbor |
Located in the heart of Boothbay Harbor, we are the only marina in the center of downtown. We are a family owned business that has been happily serving boaters for over 36 years! At your doorstep are restaurants, shopping, and evening entertainment. Our marina is a short walk and close to anywhere you want to go in the harbor. The Boothbay Harbor Marina provides 20 transient slips with amenities including power, complimentary water, complimentary ice, complimentary bathrooms with showers, complementary washer, coin op dryer, complimentary wifi, and dinghy dock. Step out the gate and you are in the center of town. Several restaurants are located right outside our gate. Mine Oyster Restaurant located alongside the marina live music most evenings in July and August. A footbridge connects the west side to the east side of the harbor and makes for a pleasant evening stroll. Boothbay Harbor is known as the boating capital of Maine, and was named as one of Yachting Magazine's '50 Best Towns'. Boasted as "the soul of the coast," our picturesque harbor is a popular cruising destination because of the bustling waterfront and all the amenities the harbor has to offer. The area's rocky coastline speckled with lighthouses, coves, inlets, and islands make it a boater's paradise. Boothbay is also home to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, rated #1 in the country by Trip Advisor and the newly renovated golf course at the Boothbay Harbor Country Club. Come discover why our town truly is one of Maine's treasures. We are proud to be woman run for over 36 years and strive to send our guests off with treasured memories and a longing desire to return.
Fantastic marina and crew! Unbeatable location, will definitely be back. Huge thanks and shout out to Kim and Chris who go above any beyond.
Dock was great. Very accommodating. Will come back.
It was our first trip to Boothbay. When we arrived Kim and Chris made us feel like we were reconnecting with old friends. So welcoming, we will be back.
The highlight stay of our week on the water was the Boothbay Harbor Marina where the bespoke services by Kim elevates it way above the pack. Simply wonderful.
Such nice and accommodating staff. Kim couldn't be around when we arrived but had her friend Frank meet us with his lovely dog Choas. He was very helpful with our first time here; Kim came by later to be sure we were all good and provided even more info of the area. It's the best spot in town.
We love our stay at Boothbay Harbor Marina, voted for the 3rd year in a row, Best Marina in Maine. You can’t go wrong with the owners Kim and Chris. They are attentive to every detail and always there with a smile. The atmosphere of the other guests makes this special gem even more special.
Kim is amazing and accommodating . The location and facilities are top-notch. Truly one our favorite places to visit. Hope to visit 1 more time this season!
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great location, nice marina. Very nice setting.
A welcoming friendly vibe. Easy in/out. Right in the middle of town but tucked away. Have a local beer and snack at McSeagulls that overlooks the marina.
EXCELLENT marina! The location could not be more central to everything, and Kim & Chris are easily the most personable, helpful, lovely marina proprietors we’ve encountered along our journey. Highly recommend staying here!
As welcoming as always. Our favorite! Kim and Chris treat guests like family. Can’t beat the location.
It was our first time and we had a wonderful stay. Kim reached out early in the day to introduce herself and give us the lay of the land. She was right there to help us dock. She had excellent recommendations for food and was all around helpful. The Marina has a lovely intimate vibe and is only a few steps from Downtown. We look forward to coming back!
This is the best marina in town. The location is RIGHT in town so you have to not mind being in a bit of a fish bowl. Kim is delightful. The seasonal boats are helpful and nice. It's calm, power is good. We don't use them but the restrooms looked immaculate. Not sure what else you could ever want in a marina. Note there is a restaurant bar next door and you can hear the bands so it's not sleepy.
Kim, the owner, is onsite and AWESOME. Great location; happy people! This is THE PLACE to stay in Boothbay Hbr!
Our annual visit to Boothbay Harbor Marina on Coast Guard Day is always the best. Kim and Chris are most friendly and professional. See you next year!
Awesome! Being right in the middle of town was perfect. Kim was incredibly helpful with suggestions on everything!
One of the friendliest and convenient Marinas we have stayed in. It is our favorite.
This was a return trip for us, and it does not disappoint. Nate was there to happily greet us, get us situated, and make sure all was good before he left for the day. Kim is just the best! She can’t do enough for you, and makes us feel like family. We love the small marina feel, where you get to know your neighbors and everyone is so pleasant. We will be back… thank you Kim and team for making our stay so perfect!
Kim was super nice and helpful. Communication was easy from booking until we left. You can’t beat the location. We’ll def go back.
Great spot. Great town. Even better people! Kim was the nicest, most accommodating Dockmaster/manager/owner I have ever dealt with in 40 plus years on the water.
Great location in the heart of town. Steps to many restaurants and shops. Proprietor Kim was fantastic, welcoming and helpful! We will be back!
Great location, excellent service, friendly staff, wonderful view of the harbor. The dock master Kim is a true professional made sure we had a good time. 5 stars
Boothbay Harbor Marina AND Kim never disappoint. Always super accommodating and helpful. Thanks for a great stay. Mark/Jane
Best location, best service and attitude of any marina
Great spot, right in town, friendly helpful harbor master
Fantastic location and close to everything. Kim and her crew go out of their way to ensure your stay is enjoyable. She is very responsive and accommodating. Facilities are clean and convenient. Looking forward to visiting again!
Wonderful service. Great people. We are going again next year!
Absolutely one of the friendliest Harbormasters ever! Kim is very customer focused. The marina is small but perfectly located to the wonderful downtown. The shops are very nice, not your typical tourist chachi stuff. And a Free trolly to outlying areas. Love it, we will be back!
Good location, excellent service, good docks. Will be happy to return.
Fantastic little Marina right in the heart of the quaint New England town of Boothbay. Kim took excellent care of us and texted me the approach directions having never been there. Be back next season for sure!
We had a wonderful stay. Kim was a gracious host. Our slip was protected and the slip neighbors friendly. The bathrooms and showers were clean and perfect. We'll be back!
This is a gem of a marina which we can't recommend highly enough. What makes it so special is the dock master Kim and her trusty, competent and generous assistant Carson. Kim is quite simply an outstanding dock master and a professional, enthusiastic, kind and welcoming person with a wealth of local knowledge and information. This was our second visit and we shall be coming back ASAP.
Easy to book, very friendly staff (Kim was super helpful and personable). Easy to get in and out and perfect location (center of town).
Excellent place to stay! Thanks to Kim for the hospitality!!
This may not be the fanciest Marina but it certainly is one of the most hospitable and warmest marinas on the North East. Kim, the owner operator and her team (Carson and husband Chris) go out of their way to create a friendly and home-like atmosphere. One feels like part of the family. Boothbay is on our annual schedule, not because of its beautiful setting (which it has) but especially for the unique hospitality and friendship this Marina and Kim provides.
Thank you Kim! There is a reason almost every reveiw mentions Kim. She really goes out of her way to be sure you have a great stay. From the moment your reseservation is confirmed she makes sure you are informed and aware. This marina has been woman owned and managed for over 30 years we understand. Judy, Kims mother-in-law passed the reigns down to Kim and she does very well. The location is central to Booth Bay and is Ideal. BE SURE NOT TO MISS THE MAINE COAST BOTANICAL GARDENS! The only negative is the one taxi company. They left us flat footed. They do not answer their phone and the voice mail box is full. You can text the same number. We texted them the day before that we would call at 8 am for an 8:30 pickup and they replied fine. But then when we called, again no answer and voice mail full and the text was answered 15 minutes later saying their only driver was out of town. Knowing we would call why did they not inform us sooner? They had our number from the night before! We also understand the town has only one Uber driver. Plan to wait for a lift.
This is a great place to stay! Kim is amazing - friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The docks are well cared for and power/water and internet were all in working order. The location cannot be beat. Just outside the gate is the town which is full of restaurants and shopping. We can’t wait to return!
Our original plan was to spend 2 days in Boothbay before heading to Port Clyde and Rockland. However, fog, cold, and seas were not to best so we decided to remain in Boothbay. Kim made it so easy to stay and we remained for 7 days having a wonderful time despite uncooperative weather. The facility was great, KIm was great, we could not have been happier. Kim was always smiling and helpful, she even gave us a ride to Boothbay Botanical Gardens (excellent do not miss). We will definitely be back again and again.
Great spot, Owner couldn't be nicer. Definitely going back.
Great location right in town and Kim runs a great dock. Highly recommend the Marina.
Kim is the best dockmaster we have encountered in our 20 years of boating. She is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. The marina is fantastic and allows an easy walk to everything in Boothbay Harbor.
Kim, the dockmaster, is probably the most competent and friendly dockmaster I have ever met. She makes this marina very user friendly. Great stop.
As always, the stay was great. Kim couldn’t have been any more helpful and nice!!
Kim is excellent, always so helpful and knowledgeable! The view and location can’t be beat!
We only stayed 1 night but the service, care and kindness meant the world to us. Thank you BHM for such a pleasurable stay…👍🏻🇺🇸
Small but very clean facilities, extraordinarily easy access to the downtown area restaurants and shops, and an extremely well protected dock space. A bit tight getting in and out, but with a few extra hands - very easy.
Kim (owner/manager) "gets" it. Super friendly, competent, flexible service to boaters. Lots of very happy people on the docks. A great, welcoming town was full of great restaurants, boutique shopping, and coffee shops. So much fun. We'll be back.
Great people, great location, great vibe, nice docks, good power and water. Middle of town location. The best!
Kim is always very welcoming whenever we’ve docked there.
We enjoyed this location so much, we decided to stay another day. Easy access to the town and nice amenities. We really appreciated the free ice machine. The dockmaster, Kim, was very welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend this spot.
Great Customer Service, Friendly, Convenient, Helpful and Clean Facilities.
Kim (the owner of the marina) and Carson (the Dockmaster) were awesome! They were very helpful and made us feel very welcome.
Great stop! Kim is fabulous! How she does everything I don't know but she gets it done. She's also a great resource for things to do and places to dine in the area. Loved our stay there.
Great location, right in the center of town. Carson in the dock house was very helpful with our lines and information.
The folks here were so kind and helpful to this novice, naive solo sailor who showed up with an unhappy Australian Shepherd and no spring lines! Their willingness to help and answer questions gave me the confidence I needed to go on to face the next not so friendly marina. I stayed an extra day in Boothbay because I liked this Marina and its owners so much! Excellent location.
Love this marina. Best location in the harbor! Kim and Chris are terrific hosts. Anything you need (steps, shore cord extension), they take care of it right away. We will return again and again!
Kim was awesome in every way. We will definitely be back again.
The marina has the convenience of being right downtown, but without crowd or traffic noise. Marina staff were great and attentive, getting in & out of our slip was easy, and we really enjoyed our brief visit.
Kim (DM) was outstanding. Very helpful and friendly. Marina and docks are very clean. Best location to town. We will be back.
Kim was a wonderful dockmaster and helped us into a nice slip in the heart of downtown Boothbay. Bathrooms weren’t fancy but very clean and serviceable. They didn’t have fuel, but otherwise a really nice place to stay. Thanks!
Best internet service we have had on this journey! Kin is the best!
We loved our stay at Boothbay Harbor Marina! I wish we could have stayed longer. Chris and Kim are the best! They truly make your stay as enjoyable as can be! They are accommodating and available to all their clients! I would highly recommend this small, friendly marina to boats large and small! Thanks for a fantastic stay!
Kim was fabulous. great place to stay easy access to town! we will be back
Boothbay is a wonderful town with many shops, restaurants and galleries. The Marina had all the amenities including free ice and free washer ( but not dryer). Kim helped settle us in and she was very helpful and cheerful and gave us recommendations for dining. Can’t wait to return!
Very welcoming, nice facilities, and great in-town location!
Great time in Boothbay, Kim is always very accommodating and you can’t beat the location in Boothbay.
Loved this place! My wife and I spent 2 nights there in early August. Perfect. Kim was really nice and helpful. Locals and returning guests were laid back and welcoming. Just might be the best ice cream in the world just steps from the marina. Mother of all ice machines (as one local put it). Maine! Maine! Maine! Endless, peaceful places to explore by boat. Cant wait to go back this fall! On approach follow her directions exactly. When she says turn to the north, pin that compass on north!
we stay at the boothbay harbor marina every year and we have a great time. thank you to kim who makes the stay very comfortable for us.
If you want the large marina experience along with the belligerence and indifference that sometimes comes with a large marina, please choose Dimillos in Portland.If prefer the polar opposite than choose Boothbay, Its like a bed and breakfast on the water! Great experience
Everything you would hope for and expect for an overnight experience. While the location is great and the facilities more than adequate, the star of the marina is Kim, as she shines in her delivery of customer satisfaction. Gene and Rosemary
We spent a few days at the beginning of July here, we literally called as we entered the Harbor and were welcomed warmly with two slips for us and our friends. We loved having restaurants right next to the Marina and they even let us borrow their wagon so we could walk to the grocery store to provision. My husband took an amazing rainbow picture that they used on their social media pages! We will be back for sure!!!
Great just like our last visit. Staff was excellent !! Unrelatedly to the marina we didn’t appreciate the ‘loud’ music that went well into the night (midnight) from the bar/restaurant nearby. We will come back because of the staff and location.
Lovely clean tidy marina in the heart of Boothbay. Super friendly owners!
Top Notch Service and the friendliest marina anywhere!!
Great marina, friendly and helpful staff. Very convenient to town shops and restaurants. Boothbay Harbor is a great little town. We are staying an extra day, too nice to leave!
Great stay. Kim was terrific and everything was great. I had to come Into a tight spot but there were lots of folks to help. Looking forward to returning
Excellent service as well as a beautiful and centrally located marina. I highly recommend staying here.
Another outstanding stay. Great hosts, excellent location and clean facilities. Thanks again for another great stay.
Love the Boothbay Harbor Marina and always feel so welcomed by Kim!
Outstanding location, nice facilities with friendly staff - the best location in Boothbay. This was a return visit for us and once again we are very pleased and stayed a few extra days to enjoy this dog friendly community. Great to stay at a small family owned and managed marina. --------- Comments after our third visit>>>>>> This small family owned & managed marina is located in the heart of Boothbay Harbor. A great location with easy access to everything in this charming community. Kim is most helpful - we planned to stay for a couple of days and decided to spend a week. Difficult to depart such a convenient and friendly location. This was our third visit and we look forward to returning to our favorite small marina!
What a great place to stay when cruising. The location is right downtown and still very quiet at night. Kim, the owner/manager was on the dock greeting us and making us feel very welcome. We had time for laundry and she gave us Tide Pods, no pun intended. We also had to stay past check out to wait for a raw water pump via fed ex and she helped lower the stress level. Then, we had a crew member fall off our sailboat and Kim had a ride available to the hospital pronto. She was amazing, what could have been a stressful day was made less so by the culture at this marina. Also, one of the guests was there to ease our friends bruised ego with a kind comment. It is my great pleasure to reccommend this marina to anyone cruising Maine. Captain David Calnan, MMC
The location is centralized and Kim was a great “host!” We will definitely be back!
Excellent location Good services Owners extremely helpful
Very friendly and helpful dock staff. Good solid dock float in about the most sheltered spot you could imagine. Walk out the gate and you're right in the middle of town. We were there on a Saturday night and got treated to the live music at a bar next door, could be a plus or minus depending on your taste.
This is a small marina right in the heart of town. Kim was on top of everything and made our stay wonderful. I would not hesitate to return when next in Boothbay.
The most awesome hospitality!!! Staff was beyond friendly... all amenities clean and in order... follow up next morning quite nice! Peaceful spot... Capt ed
