Parker’s Boat Yard is one of the few remaining family owned and operated yards in New England today. The quality of service, support and operations is unmatched. We stayed on a morning all summer and the launch service operations were outstanding, staff is friendly and helpful. The Parker family loves their business and their customers. Five star experience all around.

Staying at Parker's for several weeks has become an annual part of our boating season. We have moored here, off and on, for over 40 years with our same wooden boat. It is a family run business, run by a great family, and the staff is top shelf. The harbor is beautiful and there are great dining options nearby. If you are cruising upper Buzzards Bay, Parker's definitely needs to be a layover.

Awesome facility, super friendly people everywhere you go at Parker's. We didn't use the launch, but we stayed on the dock one night and a mooring for two nights. Good solid moorings, clean restrooms and showers, plus a little clubhouse with foosball, ping-pong, a small library and seating area, and even loaner bicycles if you wanted to go see the sights! We spent most of the weekend anchored over at Basset's Island all day swimming in the warm water, and back to our base at Parker's for the night. Highly recommended.

Marina Response:
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed your stay. The crew here spends most of their summer weekends anchored over at Bassett's too! It's a great spot!

Mooring was in a very quiet location, very peaceful. Most importantly, our inverter died on Sunday evening. At 0800, I talked to James at the yard. He diagnosed at noon, and he ordered a replacement to be delivered next morning. That day he swapped out the bad unit, installed the new one, by 1530. We were on our way the next morning. Fast, extremely polite and knowledgeable yard. (The staff all say please and thank you to each other.). Five stars in all respects!

Pattie and Kevin Parker are wonderful. Partier went out of her way to accommodate our arrival. Together they run a first class yard. However, the tender operator on duty at the time of our arrival was curt and unhelpful until he received a tip.

Very nice people in a beautiful location. I stayed for a few nights this summer and went kayaking happily with the birds, then again for a night in transit this fall. On the second trip, I had engine trouble when docking just as the marina was closing, and they rustled up a mechanic first thing the next morning. Chuck did a few adjustments, replaced a leaking gasket, and still got me off in time for the Cape Cod Canal current.

We spent two nights at Parker's Boat Yard last week. We had a great mooring, closer to the beach than most of the others, and had great service when we docked for fuel and water. We enjoyed Parker's many times while cruising in our sailboat and, now that we have a powerboat, expect to continue our 20 year tradition for even more years.

We spent 2 nights at Parker’s boat yard and all I can say is that it is a great place. Their customer service is exceptional. Staff is friendly and super helpful. Our dinghy got a rub hole on one of the tubes and they lent us their skiff both nights. We were able to get the dog to shore and meet my sister for dinner. The Bourne Conservation trail system is just a short walk and there are plenty of trails to walk. The dog was delighted to get somewhere and run. We are heading south now but on our return trip we will stop again at this boatyard. If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!!!!
