Our 4th trip to Nantucket with Nantucket moorings. Love the island. The moorings are great (pick up stick, double line) and the harbor master staff is helpful and friendly. Pump out boat arrived within 5 minutes of my call. The past two years the dinghy dock has become over run with locals boats that do not move. Despite signage that indicates 13 foot maximum length and transient usage. Most of the boats did not move the five days we were visiting. The mornings were only half full during our stay in late June and it was always difficult to jam ourselves in. I can’t imagine what it will be like during July and August when the moorings are full. I used the word boat instead of dinghy, because most of the boats have steering wheels and engines ranging from 30 to 50 hp. It’s a shame that “transient” is not enforced. There were plenty of empty slips on the pier. Love Nantucket, but the dinghy dock is out of control.
