BUYER BEWARE. The Mystic Seaport Musuem Marina has done a great job marketing their marina. but along they way they are misleading boaters.
if you read their website you learn about their 800 feet of floating docks. But they dont tell you that you can also get stuck on their fixed docks that are from the time the original seaport was built. Entering the narrow slip between the pylons can be a challenge in the wind. But not as challenging as climbing down or up into your boat with the tides. not to mention, these fixed docks are about 1/4 mile from the restrooms and showers. OH!...but showers are very close to the floating docks! Surprise! The marina should let you know where they are putting you at the time of reservation so you can choose to stay there of not given the slip they can provide. And they should definately offer a discount if they are putting you at the end of the museum property, by the old ship buidling area, and far from the showers and rest of museum. The overall marina and seaport are very nice. The staff was very helpful. the view from the fixed docks was pretty. But why should this slip be the same price as the new floating docks near the showers and main attractions? Like I said...great marketing...but buyer beware.
