Dysart's Great Harbor Marina

Great docks, nice people, wonderful scenery, close to town with good shops and restaurants. Been coming here for 20 years. Never disappoints!

Courteous, helpful staff, and clean facilities.

Nice place. Friendly Staff. Loaner car. Clean bathrooms. Will stay again.

The staff were terrific. But we were disappointed that their pumpout didn’t work. They were waiting on a part, but perhaps having a stockpile of extra parts would be a good idea. Great location too.

Friendly staff and convenient location! Enjoyed the nearby restaurants.

Really enjoyed stay at Dysart’s. Charlie and Ethan were great - ready to assist on docks, helpful with information about our stay, and so kind to offer treats to our dog thanks to cute “Marina” for sharing! Wonderful spot for quiet overnight. Checkout Vacationland Roasters right next door for coffee, sandwiches, and happy hour!

Great staff. Helpful and professional

Amazing staff, even of season!

Very friendly and always there when you need help

Great people..great service!!

The only negative was something the marina doesn't control. On weekend evenings a nearby restaurant had unpleasant live outdoor music that was quite annoying at the marina.

Very nice ... as it has been for the past 25 years! And we're pulling for Jacob!

This Marina was very nice. The laundry and shower facilities served us well and the West Marine nearby and close walk to town was very nice.

Good service, but a little rough around the edges if you're expecting upscale.

Friendly, attentive and beautiful spot! Great facilities and staff!

beautiful spot, friendly and competent staff!

Low key, quiet. Facilities could use an upgrade as could some of the docks. Biggest draw back was the unkept dumpster right by the entrance to the marina pier. WiFi was annoying with codes that expired and signal didn’t reach outer slips.

Friendly staff, great amenities inclusive of a courtesy vehicle, showers, laundry, and wifi. 10/10 would recommend and will come back next time we are in the area!

Very convenient location

They are always helpful, courteous, efficient, and the new ramp is wonderful!

Staff very helpful. Loved the coursey car. I will come back.

Very convenient when visiting the island or the local Hinckley yard. Office staff very helpful. We have berthed both off-season and peak, and will likely stay again.

Nice people. Great home base to explore Acadia.

Friendly folks. Great location. Interesting assortment of yachts.

Great location, friendly staff. Easy access for fuel. Very convenient location.

Mica and crew were helpful and friendly

Very nice marina with wide concrete floating docks. Close restaurant and a courtesy car that we used after discovering the laundry facility was out of order at the marina.

Dysarts - were very helpful and very friendly, a great Marina with equally as good staff - we enjoyed our stay alongside. The facilities were great. The Upper Deck Restaurant was Excellent - great food and service.

Friendly staff, great amenities (showers, washers and dryers, courtesy car)

Great customer service, wonderful location. Mike was very accommodating, team was on their game.

Another great visit with great help from an outstanding dockmaster and accomodating neighbors.

Friendly, well protected, convenient to town

Great place! Nice facilities. Helpful and friendly dockmaster

i love everything about this place except for the wifi, which is effectively unusable at the far end of the pier. quiet and well-protected berth; top-notch staff and location. we’ll definitely be back.

The marina is in a great location to explore the quiet side of Mount Desert Island. All the staff was attentive and professional. Dock master Micah was very helpful with providing internet access and initial tie up. We are already looking forward to staying with them again in the near future. MV Ocean Echo

Mica was perfect in helping whenever it was needed.

We live on our boat for much of the summer. Dysarts provides exceptional service and community!

Always a pleasure to be at Dysarts

Great place with wonderful service, especially the manager, Mica.

The marina and crew at the marina are the best and friendliest. They truly make you feel like one of the family. Thank you for top-notch season.

I love the entire dock, family at Dyson’s!

All of the staff were very helpful and professional.

Dysart’s and its team are awesome!!!

Staff and facilities are very good.

I usually get the same slip each year, but this year I was assigned a new slip sharing with a humongous sail boat that made docking difficult.

Dysart's was the perfect spot for my trip to Mount Desert Island. The staff was capable, helpful and hospitable. The amenities were clean and the attitude and atmosphere were relaxed, as it should be in Maine. I will return to South West Harbor again and most certainly choose Dysart's.

Very comfortable, well organized marina. Am a return visitor who will return again.

The people were very helpful and friendly.

Easy access, great dock master, clear instructions. Marina the dog was cute as can be. They even have a pick up truck you can use if you need to go for supplies anywhere!

Friendly. Easy going. Nice facility.

Southwest Harbor is a non-nonsense working town, and Dysart's Great Harbor Marina serves both lobstermen and cruisers well. The infrastructure is fine, Mika, the Dockmaster is very nice and helpful. There are clean showers and laundry facilities. Visitors can borrow a truck to provision. There's a West Marine, a few restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Super nice marina! Micah was great as well as Marina. Thanks for a nice stay!

As always, a great place to dock for a few days.

Can't help but think the marina staff look down on pleasure boaters. It's a shame as we support the local businesses and restaurants. Good news is that Dysarts is now on Dockwa which avoids unanswered phone calls and emails in the past when trying to get a reservation. We gave them a second try but will not be back.

Great place. Clean large showers and laundry room, helpful, courteous and efficient administration. Also, it's within walking distance of a cute town and the Island Explorer will stop at the marina along the main road. Biggest plus a loaner truck available.

Dysart’s is always great but last night we were kept awake by the yacht Viaggio by very loud music and conversation that went on for hours. My husband and another person went over at 10:30 and nicely asked them to keep it down or move inside. They continued on until finally things quieted down around 11:00. Left a bad taste, no consideration for those around them.

Awesome as usual Friendly Helpful Close to town nearby West, Marine, and Hamilton Marine in my opinion this is the perfect place to stay

Great staff!!! Friendly and professional.,, despite being full, they accommodated our request to extend our stay due to incoming weather … ( Thanks Great Harbor) …..

All good! Great location and friendly management.

Mica and crew are simply terrific ! Friendly, helpful and beautiful flower pots ! Thanks for a great stay.

Very nice marina. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Short walk into town. We would go again.

Marcus and Amber were great, always happy to help! Marcus the Dockmaster was right there to help me dock Blue Dancer on the side dock, between 2 boats. I single hand my 34 foot sailboat, having Marcus meet me was wonderful. Again, Marcus was there to push her off the dock when I was leaving. I had a wonderful stay and the use of their courtesy vehicle, so helpful to get provisions. I filled up with water and fuel. And gave Blue Dancer a much need bath. I will be coming back in the future.

All the amenities, friendly staff and walking distance to the village. This marina checks all of the boxes!

This place is wonderful. Micah and Amanda were cheerful and helpful. The assistance at the dock is unparalleled anywhere!

Mixed review : Bathrooms were great and they were very generous in lending us a vehicle . There was a disgusting mess by their dumpster , however, with garbage all over the parking lot . Also a dinghy with a very dirty bottom consisting of lots of marine growth ( muscles) was left on the fuel dock smelling y up the place and attracting sea gulls .

Excellent place. Everyone friendly, helpful and professional. Will definitely be back!

Helpful. Friendly. Very customer service oriented.

Great Marina with even better staff and hospitality

Dysart’s was absolutely wonderful. The people were so friendly, inviting, and extremely helpful. The facilities were clean, simple, and exactly what we needed. We felt like we were family. We will definitely be coming back to Dysart’s for another few nights staying on the sailboat in a slip!

Excellent marina staff; friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgeable of local area. We have been seasonal guests here for years and plan to return each season. The breakwater has recently been expanded and the south side approach has been dredged. The adjacent commercial dock is interesting as it provides a view into the past where many such ports in Maine were built around the fishing industry. The shower and laundry area is simple but adequate. Town is but a short walk away and there is a free bus service to Bar Harbor and beyond
