Well protected mooring field. Great, helpful staff!
Great people and great facility. Harbor entry is a little tricky in that you have to take a hard right after passing the sandbar at the harbor entry, go about 40 yards, and then a hard left and resume tracking the harbor buoys. Stay in the center of the fairway then to the marina.
We can’t wait to visit again. They are so friendly and accomadating . The shuttle service was great. I wish it was warm enough for the pool. Maybe next year.
Great stay, beautiful harbor and accommodating staff!!
Clean, friendly, great location. One of our favorite destinations. Clean bathrooms. Great people. Will accommodate almost anything you ask. Rental smart cars, great pool, great bike riding. Rebecca couldn’t have been nicer.
Love coming here whether on mooring or at the dock. We try to visit every boat season. Friendly and helpful staff. The docks are in good shape and no problems with electric or water. We had a group of 4 boats and it’s a great place to gather by the covered picnic tables and grills (bring charcoal). Very peaceful area. Bring bikes to get around. Shelter Island is fun to explore and you can take the ferry over to Greenport or Sag Harbor. There’s a dinghy dock and if you bring one you can explore Coecles Harbor.
We treasure our time at Coecles Harbor Marina. The beautiful harbor is the perfect spot to spend quiet days with our adult children and grandchildren. As always, the staff is wonderful and very accommodating. Thank you!
Great helpful and nice staff. Great Marina.
Very accommodating, Rebecca was very helpful!
The most peaceful place with beautiful views in every direction. The most protected place you can stay in NY sound. People very friendly and welcoming!
Excellent! we Draw 6 ,3 so we had to work with the tides. the moorings are well marked. Lots of birds and wildlife around. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pool is great and restrooms are clean. They have the best block ice and the cubes are nice and big.
We ran into some bad weather the staff was able to change our reservation without any problems. When we arrived the staff was very friendly and accommodating. This marina is a great place on Shelter Island. Can’t wait to return.
Very nice marina in tranquil Shelter Island. Pool is a plus on a hot day. Too bad the electric cars are no longer available. They were great to explore the island.
Well run, small, peaceful marina in a beautiful location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Facility including pool well maintained and clean. Careful arriving at low tide if you draw 6' +. Also plenty of great restaurants easy to reach using local taxis. Highly recommend.
Great place, staff was very helpful. We will be back
Great people!
Very helpful dock hands. Used bathrooms, laundry, shuttle van and pump out. All were nice.
Very hospitable marina. They provided van service for our venture to Greenport. Highly recommend staying here!
Friendly and pleasant staff. (Especially Rebecca) Pool was a nice size and enjoyable. The rest of the island was easily accessible via local cab drivers. Great place to spend a day or two
A perfectly quiet spot with wonderful staff.
Great staff, beautiful location, super chill.
Great staff. Beautiful location
The marina was nice. I will say that everyone there was definitely 5 stars! The staff was always available and helpful. They have a pool (not heated) on property for guests to use. They also offer bike rentals. Although I will say the bikes are pretty used. They offer free shuttle service to and from town, but it doesn't run late enough for dinner out. You'll have to use the local taxi service. Be warned! The taxi prices are outrageous ($50 for 5 people to travel 1.5 miles)! The marina has bathrooms and showers for guests to use and they keep them pretty clean. It can be tight getting in and out of the slips and it is very shallow at low tide. They have a fuel dock, but only offer diesel so plan accordingly if you need gas.
Extremely friendly, polite and very helpful staff.
We stayed three nights at Coecles. Quiet, peaceful, excellent helpful staff . Bathrooms were clean and nicely up to date. Pool was quite nice to cool off and relax. We brought our bikes but the marina rents them also. We will return again!
Always have a great time at Coecles!!
Coecles Harbor is clean and quiet and fine. The bathrooms needed supplies and they were VERY HOT. It was only 75 outside, the bathroom was like 90 inside. No services were available yet, June 15th. There is nothing near the marina, the closest place to get coffee is 1.5 miles away. Nice people, nice place, clean but we will go elsewhere next time for more services and more life.
Always wonderful! Quiet location, clean showers, staff very accommodating.
Great, like always :-)
Great spot to be on a mooring! Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Always an enjoyable stay here. The mooring field is very convenient to the marina, which has a small store (Eileen is most pleasant and helpful) and an adequate shower room with good pressure, hot water. If I plan to go ashore I always stay here. The anchorage in the southeast of the harbor is beautiful, well protected and with good holding ground. However, it’s a long dinghy ride to the town dock. Shelter Island is a wonderful place to bike around. It’s also an easy, inexpensive ferry ride away from Greenport. The ferry runs frequently throughout the day until midnight. Coecles Harbor Marina is at the top of my list for overnight mini-cruises from my homeport, Safe Harbor Pilots Point Marina, Westbrook CT.
Coecles Harbor Marina is awesome. The people who work there are the best. Thoughtful, helpful and treat you like family. Before our visit, Rebecca called us to let us know that she found a perfect slip for us and our dog! A quaint little spot that I hope never changes.
Great moorings, love the overhead photo for our mooring location, excellent guidance on how to approach the harbor and deal with the 5' hump off Red 10. Did not use any services as there was a storm, but we felt snug and secure
Beautiful spot. Friendly and helpful marina staff.
Pool was nice, bathrooms and showers were very clean, staff especially the pool lifeguard were very friendly and helpful, area nice and quiet. Mooring cost per night was high but unfortunately not unusual for the east end of Long Island, shallow approach channels not effectively marked is on-going concern. We enjoyed our stay and will likely be back.
Everything was great! Clean bathrooms and showers
Marina had a beautiful view and all employees especially toby were very helpful
Beautiful location. Bathrooms are very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Helpful and friendly crew. We'll be back !!
Dockhands were very helpful, however 2 out of 3 men's shower were out of service. Management wasn't interested or apologetic when told about this. Aesthetically, it's a commercial marina with no real curb appeal.
Everyone was so nice and personable. Thank you Celia for being so nice and helpful. And Gary for the use of your adapter. The bathrooms are clean w/ lots of showers. And bonus laundry! Was really nice to come back with clean, dry clothes. Beautiful area, wonderful stay!
Nice place. Perfect pool for the kids
The marina staff are very helpful and friendly. The location is beautiful. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice low key place to relax.
Great staff! We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay.
Very clean marina with a nice pool. Friendly, helpful & knowledgeable staff. Really enjoyed the factory tour of the boats built here given by the owner.
Beautiful setting with a wonderful facility and most importantly a great staff. They have bike rentals and shuttle to get you to town Wonderful pool and nice showers I will definitely come back!
The marina is clean, helpful, and provides shuttle service in and out of town. The pool and facilities are terrific. I look forward to my next visit.
Awesome staff and EZ fuel dock and Pumpout
Excellent stay! Very well kept marina. Staff was friendly and attentive. Beautiful place!
We specifically called and asked for a "floating dock" because we have a 100 lb dog and i had 2 back surgeries last year. We were told they had a floating dock. The first slip was not a floating dock and we were moved to another slip which was not a floating dock either!!! Not sure where the disconnect was........The staff was very nice and helpful, especially Celeste. I think that was her name. The marina is kind of remote. Even coffee is a few miles away.
Wonderful marina very friendly staff. Everything is immaculately clean. A great place to stay off the beaten track but yet close enough to everything on shelter Island that with a quick shuttle or a bike ride, you can get to everything you might need.
We had a great time! Very friendly staff. Thanks for making our vacation memorable.
Good marina. Helpful front office.
Very well protected marina, helpful staff.
Great friendly staff
Second visit, and another great experience. Friendly and helpful staff and nice location.
What a gem...staff was excellent - location made it easy to enjoy the treasures of shelter!
Beautiful spot, kind and helpful staff. Van ride into town / brewery really helpful.Will be back!
Staff is terrific! There are welcoming, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Facilities were great! Enjoyable pool, shower facilities and ship store. They provided courtesy travel to restaurants! Would definitely recommend to all and come back for a return stay…except would stay longer! Rebecca is a true “gem!”
Beautiful harbor ! Love coming to Coecles Harbor !
This place is amazing. Quiet and picturesque. The showers were clean and well appointed. The pool was clean and refreshing. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. They took us to the ferry dock and to the store. All the staff were engaging and happy. I especially want to call out Connor who helped me fix my dinghy motor. I called to ask if they had a mechanic who could help me and Connor, the manager, said the mechanics were all very busy, but he would come out to my boat to take a look. He immediately diagnosed the problem of a shear pin and went back to the marina to get me a new shear pin and installed it for me at no cost. I have never experienced such great service. I will surely come back again.
Excellent Facilities, very Courteous People. Pool was clean and refreshing. Shuttle was very accommodating. All Good Thx
Great location, staff and facilities. We always enjoy visiting here. Cecelia and Rebecca make a great team to take care of whatever was needed while our yacht club visited.
If you want a marina that has a fancy restaurant, cocktail bar, spectacular pools and pretentious people… don’t come here! If you want a great marina in a great spot with clean bathrooms, great staff, very nice pool and a very laid back atmosphere… this is the place. Spent 3 days here and it was great. Staff answered all questions and took care of anything needed. The surroundings were beautiful. Super clean as well. The ONLY reason I am not giving 5 stars is because it would be nice if the bathrooms were air conditioned. Other than that, it all was a 5 Star!
Reasonably priced marina with super friendly and helpful staff in a quiet, peaceful location on the East side of Shelter Island. Convenient bike rental on site enabled us to bike to local restaurants (about 2-4 miles away) and down the road from Mashomack Preserve (2 miles). Docks are not floating so be sure to bring enough line to tie up to pilings as you dock stern in with no finger piers, though it looked like marina had some extra lines on hand. Would return.
Not the best experience. These office staff was very friendly and helpful but the dock boy was not. The slips are very tight and is not a floating dock so you have to tie up to piling's. We were told there was a shuttle but were not told that we needed to make a reservation for the shuttle so we ended up walking a mile and a half back-and-forth to the restaurant since we could not get a taxi. If we visit shelter Island again we will likely try a different marina
We took full advantage of everything this great Marina had to offer. Pool, BBQ area and facilities where great!! The bikes and they offer where a fun way to get around the island. The staff was extremely helpful and super courteous!!
Great people. Enjoyed our stay. Clean and well kept
What a great Marina with an awesome staff. They helped us secure a dinner reservation and provided transportation too. The Marina facilities and the Dock residence made us feel welcome. The harbor itself is stunning and quit. We will be back.
Very nice stay. Bathrooms are extremely hot inside. One of 3 showers in men's room was taken apart for a repair.
Very friendly and easy to deal with
Nice and peaceful. Nice to receive mooring location before we arrived. Restroom and shower are nice
Beautiful harbor we had a mooring ball and weather and set up prevented us from going ashore to explore more but very nice mooring site
Quiet clean marina with friendly people working there. Beautiful harbor. Restaurants are a bit far to walk but they will shuttle you one way. Then also have bikes and a electric cart that can be rented but they have to be back by 5 so you need a taxi at least one way for dinner. Taxi was easy to get.
Small and friendly marina!
Great trip, awesome location, helpful friendly staff, Rebecca is a rock star. GEM car super fun to take around the island , great beaches, clean facilities. Adding this Marina as an annual adventure.
A friendly marina with a pool. Peaceful location. It was nice to be able GEM car and bikes to get around.
Stay was great nice pool clean bathroom they could use some lighting around the ground marina area is dark
Nice Marina and pleasant staff. A little pricey at $2.50 / foot for a mooring though. Used their rental golf carts to tour the island. That was great.
We stayed at Coecles Harbor Marina last year for the first time and loved it. This year we were a bit disappointed… The dockhand seemed annoyed with us because we were having difficulty getting into our assigned slip due to wind and rain. The pool was closed most of the time and when we were able to go in, the water was cloudy and the chairs around the pool were dirty. The restrooms were not cleaned during our 2 night stay. There was a blow dryer mounted on the wall in the ladies room, but it didn’t work. Nice quiet spot but definitely needs some maintenance.
Nice marina with attentive dock staff. No restaurant on premises but free shuttle to any location requested.
We were so surprised to get a call from marina telling us about amenities and other information after we got our mooring assignment The showers were to die for and a huge bag of ice was so helpful!. A pleasure to return after 40 years! We will definitely be back! Thank you!
Very friendly marina, but I'm not happy that they charge by the foot rather than a fixed price for a mooring and don't provide launch service. You don't get much value for the what you pay here.
This place is heaven on earth. Staff is fantastic. Facility great
This was my second time staying at Coecles Harbor Marina. It was just as lovely as I remembered. It is a clean, quiet, serene place. The service is friendly and low key. There are bikes to rent, fun electric “cars,” and of course gorgeous views in the harbor. For those who want to decompress and enjoy the quiet beauty of shelter island on a mooring or dock, this is a perfect spot.
Peaceful and pleasant
Excellent views from mooring field; friendly staff; transportation provided IGA grocery store. Only negative; dinghy dock was crowded
Helpful staff and friendly. They provided transportation to the ferry for a nice day in afternoon. Their pool was nice and dingy dock was upgraded.
Great marina, super friendly staff. We were made to feel like family during our stay. GEM electric carts awesome and fun. We will be back.
Great place to spend some time. Facilities are clean, staff is friendly and responsive and of course the harbor is beautiful!
Wonderful. Super nice crew. Hot showers, pool.
Nice marina excellent people to stay with
Excellent and accommodating as always! Can't wait to be back
The marina is very well maintained and nice. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The GEM electric cars are a lot of fun and a good way to get around the island. Thank you for a great trip!
Another great visit to Coecles Harbor Marina! Friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. Looking forward to our next visit.
Beautiful quaint marina with a family friendly atmosphere. Pool and restrooms very clean and well kept. Setting is very picturesque Love visiting Shelter Island and staying here.
Rebecca was very helpful when I made a reservation for the wrong day. She fixed out and we stayed an extra night. Very nice docks. They are Piers not floating. Easy docking between poles.
Great location for this cute marina. Everything was so clean... The docks, bathrooms, pool, and patio area. Rebecca was helpful with my Dockwa reservation... Very flexible! Dock hands were very helpful, especially Deckland! The shuttle service is so convenient. Can't wait to return again! Thanks everyone.
Great stay as usual! Thank you
The people at Coecles Marina could not have been nicer or more helpful. They provide a van to take you anywhere on the island. We will go back there anytime.
Wonderful stay! Great staff! Will be sure to return.
Great staff. Quite and beautiful views
Pleasant individuals (via VHF radio)
Marina staff extremely friendly and helpful!
We arrived at 7:30 pm, unaware that they close at 5 pm. Ended up taking any mooring we found unoccupied. Had a little trouble going in at low tide, in an unmarked channel. They, or DOCKWA, should have informed us about these things as soon as I paid for the mooring or at least the day before. Checked with them in the morning to find out they have no launch service. There must be some "truth in booking", that DockWa is responsible for. Andy Papademetriou
Great staff. Accommodated my last minute request to change my reservation from mooring to slip since my generator unexpectedly decided not to function. What might have been a difficult situation instead became the perfect start of a very enjoyable weekend.
The marina is located in a beautiful spot in the harbor and was a picture perfect place to dock and stay overnight. The staff are soooo nice and helpful and the place is spotless and really well organized. We plan to stay there again in the near future.
Clean well run marina with courteous friendly staff shuttle service to town was really a bonus highly recommended
Location is great. Dock staff was very helpful. Bathrooms could be cleaner and kept up with better. Garbage pails in bathrooms we’re full and the men’s room by the pool had no soap in the dispenser. They close the pool at 5:00 even though there’s plenty of great swim time left on a July evening. Shower is good though! Would still return because the spot is very nice.
Very peaceful. Dock hands were great, pool was very nice, nice picnic area along the water. Bathrooms were clean. Lovely stay.
Beautiful chill location. Staff the same. Very helpful
Everyone at the marina was very helpful. They provided a ride to dinner. Quiet and peaceful. Pool clean and refreshing
Can’t get enough of Coecles! Thank you for making our cruise always so special!
Rebecca was awesome and made us feel at home
First of all, the staff are great. No problem there. The heads and showers are also very nice. We were disappointed that the pool is not open until July 4 as it was a hot weekend in mid June and I booked the Friday and Saturday nights assuming, yes, my bad, that it would be open. Also the place could use a little sprucing up. It is a nice location if you bring bikes as we did. They do rent them. No food offerings but cold drinks in the store. ASK
All was just as advertised
Great location, great facilities, excellent staff
Couldn't have had more personal treatment. We arrived shortly before closing but Eileen took the time to make sure we had everything we needed to have a wonderful experience on our trip to Shelter.
Great harbor, friendly marina. We're big fans.
Fantastic staff,...can not wait to go back!!
The Marina staff was awesome especially the young women who helped us tie up. Everything was super clean. We felt right at home and will definitely be back.
Friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended.
A must see. Coeckles is very well protected in any weather, and extremely picturesque. Moorings all have high top pickups and are well maintained if a bit close. Shoreside facilities are clean, pool inviting, and Shelter Island a very special place.
Accommodative is the best word to describe this staff! A true gem is the best word to this marina. We had a wonderful stay here and will definitely make it a tradition. Clean, terrific location and really friendly dock neighbors.
Super relaxing, a great place to spend a night or two. Great views , well protected. Staff very helpful. Rented a Gem car and explored the island. We WILL be back!!!!
Everyone very helpful and friendly. Beautiful island to bike around. Pool nice and refreshing on a hot day. Facilities very clean.
The harbor is beautiful in a bucolic setting. The lack of amenities such as launch service or pumpout boat were overcome by the hospitality. We were given a ride into the IGA grocery store by an employee of the marina who waited while we grocery shopped (short list) and brought us back to the marina. Nancy in the office was informative and very hospitable. A word of caution, we used the tide chart for the race in Eldridge‘s book. This was off by an hour and a half and we skipped along the bottom getting in as this was a very shallow harbor and we only draw 6 feet.
Nice marina. Pool clean as well as showers. Nice electric cars to go into town. However the electric cars only lasted 2 hours and really didn’t find anyplace to plug in to recharge in town. Besides that great place to stay. Staff very accommodating
A nice, quiet, and well protected spot. The marina staff was very friendly and helpful. We'll be back
Staff very accommodating. Kids loved pool. Availability for rent of electric car and bikes a real plus. Miniature golf within walking distance was also nice.
Classic boat yard - they make the Shelter Island Runabout (favored by Billy Joel) and has a great reputation for yacht maintenance (fortunately we did not need). We loved Coecles Harbor, and they are at the end of it - be brave about shallow water. Location is amazing - gorgeous coves, etc. We could dinghy to the kayak rental 'next door' and had a great day exploring the area. This was after a week on the water, so we appreciated the fuel dock, head pump-out, fresh water, and laundry - boat and crew refreshed! There are bike and car rentals for getting to town (a couple miles away) or for exploring the island by land. There is also a small chandlery.
Entrance to channel poorly marked.
Extremely friendly staff!
Very nice marina. The staff is very nice.
Nice and quiet at the marina in September, just the way we like it! I appreciated the fact that they obliged my request for a T head spot on the dock. There was plenty of help tying up and they lent me an extra electrical cable when mine wouldn't fit into the enclosure.
Great staff, nice pool, courtesy van, clean, great showers
I had steering gear work done at Coecles Harbor Marina. The work was completed on budget, on time. A job well done. Thank you
Everything about Coecles Harbor was first rate except, and it is a big except, the dinghy dock, which is downright dangerous. Nice facilities, nice folks - they even will shuttle you to various destinations, but I'll won't be back until that dinghy dock is redone.
The staff were very pilite and helpful. Nice amenities.
Absolutely beautiful. We rented an electric car at the marina office and saw a bit of the island and that was thoroughly enjoyable! Nice pool area and immaculate head facilities. Free Keurig coffee in the morning! Will definitely go back.
Took a mooring. $72 is a little pricey for no launch service. This is a pretty and very quiet harbor. Nice break from the crowds.
This is my new favorite place. Quiet. Dock staff (Ethan (#goblue)) that’s the most helpful and friendly on the east coast. Shuttle to twin, rental bikes, rental cars, a pool, laundry all right there. I can’t wait to go back. (PS, your shoal draft boat is fine in there).
Very quiet, beautiful harbor. The marina staff was helpful about information, and it was nice to get dropped off at a local restaurant. However, we learned the place was not open yet. Call first. Don't believe Yelp website. So, we waited an hour and had a good meal. The marina called us before confirmation to be certain we knew they did not have launch service. The staff goes home at 5:PM, but the shower/restroom facilities were open. The town dock a little distance from the marina is not open to non residents, so the marina is your only safe link to the shore. Perhaps we missed it, but a little flyer about that and other clues to this nice secluded location might be helpful. We were placed on a perfect mooring well spaced, and their directions with the reservation made the narrow entrance to the harbor easy to navigate. They have WiFi, but we forgot to ask for the password, and that could have been included in a potential welcome flyer. I would welcome a little later check out time. As check in time is 1:PM it seems 11:AM is early to leave. It is not as though they have to change the linen, vacuum the rug, wipe down the shower and stock toilet paper! It seems this time is standard now most everywhere, but unnecessary in my opinion. We certainly would return for a quiet stay.
A big Thank You to the folks at Coecles - first the marina is great in terms of location and overall scenery, quiet and calm, easy to get to with the tides. Second - I have noting but great experience with the staff - I got caught in a squall just off-Shelter Island this summer and the gusts ripped a hole in my Jib. After speaking with Schuyler he took a quick look, helped me get the sale down, shipped it to a sail loft in Greenport and called me next day that the sail is done and helped me put it back on, the cost of the whole thing was minimal. Overall I had a great experience, everyone around the marina was very helpful and forthcoming, communication was very clear and efficient, it gave me a lot of comfort in a situation where I did not have many resources around. Coecles is an awesome quiet place, I will definitely be back.
This is our second time staying at Coecles Harbor Marina. The facility is outstanding! Outdoor pool. Bicycles to rent, Electric cars to rent and van service to area beaches and restaurants. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Our stay at Coecles was fantastic. We have been here several times and will continue to visit whenever we can. The staff is very helpful and friendly and very attentive to our needs. I needed a repair to a wind instrument at the top of our mast and although the crew was very busy with regular customers Skyler and Conner took the time to operate a crane and hoist Skyler for the repair at very reasonable rates. Thanks guys! I highly recommend Coecles Marina
Terrific facility and a beautiful location on Coecles Harbor. Also a working boatyard and builder. We snooped around CH Yacht builders and it was so interesting to see them constructing a 38 Shelter Is runabout. Friendly staff!
It's always a pleasure to stay at Coecles Harbor. The docking team is friendly and helpful, and Shelter Island is a gem Also, if you have a problem to fix, they have a knowledgeable team that can help.
No pumpout. Apparently not enough transients to getting the pumpout fixed. No launch. Impressive repair/restoration facility.
Great Marina and very friendly staff. Courtesy Shuttle to places is a nice option.
Beautiful harbor, refreshing pool, and very accommodating staff
Excellent A beatiful peaceful marina with great staff
Friendly, great place.
Beautiful spot. Always love stopping here.
Tried tested and true a first class facility in a sublime location. We always look guess to coining back.
Excellent all around. Been to Coecles Harbor many times. Excellent facilities and friendly staff. They do need a bit more room on the dinghy dock.
I've been coming out to Coecles Harbor Marina as a transient since 1998. First with a 38' Egg Harbor, now with a 30' Cape Dory sailboat. We just booked our first whole season here in no small part because they do such a great job. Over the years and in all my travels I can say that this is one of the most pleasant places my family has ever stayed. The staff is very friendly and extraordinarily helpful, my son always finds someone to hang out with. They really go the extra distance to take care of of their guests!
John, their electricial, is absolutely the best!!!!! Our boat had been diagnosed by S&S Marine from Old Saybrook as needing a new alternator and voltage regulator. Twenty minutes after arrival John arrived onboard and tested the system. I did not need a new $1200 system...a previous electrician had neglected to reconnect two grounding wires to the alternator. I was convinced I needed a new system as a result of the S&S's diagnsis...John could have sold me the new system but simply charged me for labor and a stainless steel nut! Honesty at it's best! I would recommend him to any sailor needing electrical repairs. Additionally, while John was working on my boat...my wife used the laundry facilities to tidy us up. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. My compliments. All I can say Thumbs Up for the entire crew at Cockles!!!!!
Having stayed at Coecles Harbor numerous times I cant imagine why anyone would give this gem one star. Maybe those two negative reviewers below have ulterior motives? Anyway, the facilities are spotless, the marina staff is courteous and extremely helpful and the boatyard takes care of the nicest collection of Hinckleys and Herreshoffs youll ever see collected in one place. Between the pool, laundry, picnic area and transportation options listed below what more could one want? We rented one of their electric cars and had a blast touring around the island. The two restaurants we tried were fantastic and the kids even got to play mini golf which is just a short walk up the street from the marina. If you are looking for a peaceful spot with beautiful natural surroundings give Coecles a try, you wont be disappointed.
I would be hard pressed to give a Marina a better rating than Coecles Harbor. The staff is incredibly, professional, friendly, and helpful. I stopped by here for what I had originally planned on being a few days but ended up leaving my boat here for a few weeks. The harbor is very well protected and the marina facilities are extremely well maintained. Coecles Harbor Marina was a great joy to visit and I look forward to visiting again. The only downside was having to leave to go home!!
