Report Review
I have kept my boat at Constitution Marina since 2019. It is a special place. The best thing about it is the community. It feels like a real neighborhood because of the large share of year-round liveaboards. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, fun, as well as safe. You never have to worry about your boat while you’re away. What’s more, the community is especially generous. If you have a problem, or want advice, you can be sure to find someone will gladly help you out. I’ve lost count of how many times a neighbor has dropped everything to assist me in big and small ways when I didn’t even ask. It’s a diverse and inclusive scene and people like to mix; you’ll see impromptu parties on the docks all the time in the summer, and the marina organizes social events as well. As for boats, it’s a nice mix of sail and power, including many unique vessels. I find it to be a perfect location in Boston Harbor: USS Constitution is our venerable neighbor; it’s conveniently walkable, with close by shopping and dining right there in Charlestown, and in 15 minutes walking you can be in the North End, where you’ll find the North Station rail transit hub, TDI Garden, and much else. The marina connects by foot path to a lovely landscaped park along the Charles River, which you can follow as far as the Museum of Science. The marina building has first-rate amenities, including four hotel-quality private bathrooms with showers, ample pay laundry machines that accept all forms of payment, a big deck with a pool, grills, and shaded seating. There’s a pumpout boat that comes around on request. Seasonal contract holders get a pass to park in a dedicated marina lot. Many excellent marine services professionals are available to work in the marina and since it does not have a boat yard, working with outside contractors is hassle-free and they are welcome. The docks are gated and accessed by electronic key fob. There is a Marriott Hotel right on top of the marina which is often convenient.
