About

Great Cove Boat Club is a small association of sail and power boat enthusiasts who dock their vessels at our marina in Eliot, Maine, just upriver from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Founded in 1988, we have approximately 89 slips and 14 moorings.

The Club strives to support maritime interests and the community in general. Toward this end, we offer transient moorings and slips to visiting boaters when available.

Our cove off the busy Piscataqua River offers easy access to Portsmouth Harbor, Great Bay and the Atlantic coast. Markets, restaurants and a pharmacy are all within six miles, and the marina is served by the Portsmouth Water Taxi service. Our moorings have floating, 2-sided docks making tie-up easy.

Tie up to either available side. Slip depths vary by location, be sure to check with the dockmaster on channel 9 before entering the fairways. The Piscataqua River is known for swift tidal currents; feel free to call for local knowledge if needed.
