Reviews
The Tisbury Harbormaster runs a great program. Easy to get in touch with, they can accomodate as much as possible and are extremely helpful. I wish more harbors were this easy!
Great operation. Very organized and received my mooring assignment before arrival. The Harbormaster and his staff seemed knowledgeable and friendly. The town should feel proud. Bob
Too expensive for one night. I don’t think they want anybody in Tashmoo anymore, even though it is an inlet and part of Vineyard Sound that the town doesn’t own.
Great location ,, great staff , professional , friendly and very accommodating. We will be back
Beautiful view of the harbor, but moorings are outside the jetty and subject to considerable powerboat wake during the day. However, reasonably priced and very customer friendly. Good second choice option if you don't want to spend the $ for a slip in season.
Perfect spot to tie up with friends and spend the day. Tisbury harbormaster was great and easy to deal with.
Harbor master and staff were all very helpful and friendly. Very responsive and accommodated a reservation change due to unexpected delay. Showers at Owen park could use to be cleaned.
Thank you for the mooring. Now that I am familiar with the mooring field I am looking fwd to coming back this season Great communication throughout the rental .
Overall it's a lovely spot - navigation was easy. Never had any interaction with the HM staff - it seems as though their presence is pretty minimal. Lots of shops nearby, but nothing open late and dining options are limited. There was a fair amount of wake traffic - and zero enforcement the 3 days we were there. Also, the ferries sound their horn from about 6a-10p, and they are VERY loud. In all we're happy with our stay and will visit again!
We had a great stay ! Asst Harbormaster Morgan Reitzas went above and beyond expectation ! He managed to get us on one of the few moorings that could handle a 47 ft sailboat - after caring it with its annual renter. We were able to top off our water and pump out before leaving after a 3 day stay. Highly recommend the harbormaster mooring field and the seamless booking and communication through Dockwa!
An early start to the season. Vineyard Haven is waking up. Harbormaster was very helpful. Your mooring assignment now shows up on Dockwa. Ground tackle has been updated. Dinghy dock needs repairs and some cleats or rails would be helpful. Of course this time of year you just wander in and get a seat by the window at the Black Dog. Always a favorite port.
Great stay in Vineyard Haven! We appreciated the Tisbury Harbormaster's team's support on a stormy day. The ability to now make reservations on Dockwa for Vineyard Haven is awesome!
