Report Review


Right on the waterfront, steps from the big sites (Mayflower/Brewster Gardens/Plymouth Rock (don't get me started on whether the rock is real, but given that Plymouth Harbor has a sandy shore, why on earth would you aim your wooden boat toward a rock??). The staff is friendly, the facilities are spotless, staying an extra hour to avoid poor conditions is not discouraged, and the dock has plenty of water and easily maneuverable slips. You do have to watch your depth if you draw more than 6 feet as you make your approach as there are shallows on both sides of the fairway. It makes sense to radio the marina for guidance if you've never been there before. Also, be on the lookout for kiddies learning to sail in little pram dinghies; they sometimes drift out into the fairway. Also, since the marina only offers docks for transient mariners, you're going to pay a lot more than for a mooring with the harbormaster. But those fill up fast, and anchoring in Plymouth Harbor can be a challenge (there's a nice spot over by the Cowyard, but that's a long dinghy ride to shore, and it's pretty exposed in there.)
