India Wharf was perfect for us! Tom the dock master was incredibly helpful - waiting for us to arrive and help us tie off, and then helped us get off this morning. Location is perfect -- just a couple blocks walk to Quincy Market and the Freedom Trail, etc.

Great little marina. Amazing location. Super responsive and accommodating staff. Docks are old but acceptable. Electricity is scarce - they need to work on this, But I managed. Prices are half of the other marinas. All in all? I’d return.

Location, Location, Location - Value, Value, Value. Also, Tom the dock manager was MOST helpful. He assisted in docking and leaving, loaned a second shore power cord, was there all the time and answered questions and gave recommendations. I will definitely be back.

Tom, who runs the operation at India Wharf for Dockwa, is best. He is accommodating, friendly and keeps the place running smooth. I continue to return to stay at India Wharf because I know he will keep an eye on my boat and will communicate with me if anything comes up.

Right in downtown. Jay the dockhand helped us dock and got the electric all worked out. There are not any amenities but if you want to dock your boat in downtown boston it can't be beat

India Wharf has the perfect location and price for my cruiser. Water and elective are all I need behold 6 feet of water and a dock. Tom Scott, the dock master was responsive and helpful in every way. I highly recommended this place if you want to visit Boston without a car.

The location and price make this place a really good value. Beyond electric, water and trash there are no other amenities. The dock we tied up to was new but others have not been replaced. There is quite a bit of wake during the day from various ferries and commercial vessels, however it does subside at night. There is a pump out boat but I was told it didn't have the proper attachment to service sailboats. If you can deal with no restroom or pump out this is a good spot.

I had mechanical problems which prevented me from going to Indio wharf. I attempted to call to try to cancel and get credit for the following weekend but after three calls no one answered the phone and no one returned my call. It turned out to be an expensive "weekend."

Marina Response:
You will be 100% refunded. We called the phone number on your Dockwa reservation. We got no answer. We apologize for your negative experience. Please send messages through Dockwa. I can respond very quickly to the message. Your refund will be taken care of today or tomorrow. Thanks India Wharf

The dockside manager (Tommy) and owner (Jay) are first-rate ... very helpful and easy to work with. The location is perfect ... literally 100 yds to Aquarium or State Street venues. No showers at dock, but basic bathroom facility available dockside. Also, surprisingly little wave action at dock given central harbor location.

The hosts, Tom and Jay,could not have been more gracious and welcoming. The location is supurb. A little more up front info with pump out would have been great given there are no bathrooms (which they clearly claim are not present) would have been helpful. We had a pretty good load of packages sent there and they were GREAT about that.

We really enjoyed our stay! Tom was great! He called us before we were due to arrive and told us to call him when we were close and would direct us where to go, made it so easy for us to come in! Great spot! Will definitely be back to visit soon!

A great value considering the location. The marina does not offer any amenities, however, and the docks are old and wobbly. Some pilings within the slips are unprotected, so be prepared with fenders and/or have rub-rails. Electric (50a) and water were available. A Trader Joe's grocery store and laundromat are within walking distance, albeit a hefty walk. Access to the T (and thus airport) is very close, a great place to stay and enjoy Boston or pickup/dropoff crew and passengers. Public bike docks are nearby for easy bike rental and excellent city access. Ditto with hop-on/off tour buses. The North End restaurants are also nearby. The dock staff was professional, helpful, and very responsive to Dockwa messages. A few growing pains with scheduling seem to persist, I recommend calling to confirm any reservations if you have unique slip requirements. Very busy on summer weekends, but not bad on the weekdays. Shipping items here requires a special office address, call ahead if you would like to receive packages.

Had an excellent experience at India Wharf for our day trip! Tom, the manager was so attentive and gave us a call before we were scheduled to dock to let us know where to go. The docks and the platform are new and in great condition. The marina is only about a five minute walk from a bunch of great restaurants and Quincy Market! It was also great to see that they had hand sanitizer everywhere and signs encouraging social distancing/ wearing masks. Would definitely recommend to everyone; this place is a gem!

Location is excellent. The dock master, Tom texted me early in the morning to confirm our reservation. I texted him 15 minutes before arrival and then called him 5 minutes before approach (not sure if they monitor VHF radio). He was waiting for us at the dock, assisted us in and trying up. Very nice! There are no amenities, but did have 30amp service. In some ways this small marina is better than others i have stayed at in Boston where the ferry boats come in creating a huge wake slamming your boat in the dock. Not an issue here!. I would dock here again.

Tom, the marina manager is great. Helpful, enthusiastic, etc. The docs are not in great shape and there is no 50 amp shore power. Just 30 amp with no option to combine two 30s to get 50.

No one answered the vhf radio or telephone. With a storm cell running through we took a mooring owned by the Sailing Club. The shuttle for the Sailing Club then contacted Tommy who was then able to guide us in. The whole place will soon get filled in to make parking and a high rise. I do not recommend this place. It is a great location though.
