Report Review
If your expectations are aligned with what it is, this a great marina. It's not a place for high end amenities, but if you want an authentic New England feel the marina and surrounding area delivers with a great little beach steps away and close by access to fresh seafood, a couple of restaurants and other provisions. The Harbor Master and his team were very helpful from arrival through departure (including with first timers who had not docked stern-to before). Add to that a nice vibe on the dock with friendly, helpful neighbors.
Be wary of potentially significant currents entering the harbor and negotiating the transient slips (made more of a challenge if the wind is brisk).
Also of note, it's easy to pick up the Vineyard Transit Authority Bus in the parking lot and then easily get to other popular visit spots on the Island.
Overall a great stay. We'll be back.
UPDATE from stay in Summer of 2022:
Summer 2024: Still a fantastic spot to visit if a relaxed, quintessential New England harbor feel fits your itinerary. The Harbor Master and team are very professional and helpful.
We will always keep Menemsha on our short list of stops when visiting the Vineyard.
