5 Stars – Great Experience at Sunset Marina! Sunset Marina in South Portland is a fantastic spot for boaters. The fuel prices are very reasonable, which is a nice change compared to other places nearby. The amenities are always clean, making it easy to freshen up after a day on the water. A nice convenience is the waterfront restaurant right next door which shares the same parking lot. While it's not technically part of the marina, it shares the space and offers great views over looking all the boats at the Marina. Sitting there, you can take in the amazing view of downtown Portland, especially during the sunset and into the night when the skyline lights up—it's a real treat. The marina also feels very secure, which gives you peace of mind when leaving your boat. Dan and Elaine are always on top of things and ensure everything runs smoothly. They’re friendly and know exactly what’s happening around the marina, which adds to the sense of comfort. Overall, I highly recommend Sunset Marina. The clean facilities, reasonable fuel, and stunning views make it a great place to dock and enjoy the area.

Aptly named and wonderful family marina just across from downtown Portland. Elaine was super accommodating helpful. Gated facility and great onsite restaurant. You do have to take a water taxi or uber to get into town but I preferred the quiet of the marina and the sunset view. Plus theres a bike/walk path nearby in the cute village. Hannaford about a mile away for provisioning.

Marina Response:
Julie, thank you so much for staying with us! We greatly enjoyed having you with us. We're happy you got to explore our little community around here in South Portland. Please come by anytime you're in Portland Harbor. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

You couldn't ask for a better place to stay with your boat. The staff are welcome and accommodating. The views of downtown Portland cannot be beat, especially at sunset. It's a great feeling to have found a home for our boat!

Insufficient power. We require basic power. Sunset marinas power is only 180v. If you require 230v or 208v 100amp at a minimum. Do not go to this marina unless you’re okay running on generators.

Marina Response:
Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking to improve our services. To clarify the situation, your initial reservation made was for (2) 50 amp services, which we're more than capable of providing. Upon arrival, you immediately asked for two additional 50 amp services, totaling (4) 50 amp. We were only able to provide (2). If you had made your power requirements clear when the reservation was made, we would have directed you elsewhere. You also left 2 large bags of trash on our pier rather than utilize the dumpster accessible to you. Our goal is to provide top-notch service and our 22 years proudly serving Casco Bay reflects that. We wish you all the best as you travel this summer season.
