Easy to find mooring with the coordinates. Great location close to town dock as well as the sound. Thanks for a great stay!

There was no one available on Channel 9 to provide mooring assignment when we arrived around 5:45pm and launch driver who works for a different company didn’t have the information to assist. We just picked up an available guest mooring.

Marina Response:
Mooring Information is sent via email confirmation a few days before arrival. You should have received your location lat and lon and mooring ball number. Apologies for any inconvenience, Cotuit has some dead spots via vhf radio and staff was on until 8:30PM. Next time give us a heads up before arrival by messenger and we will be happy to assist you.

It was very good. Very quiet and what I was looking for but not much in walking distance. At least that I could find.

Great experience. I had some challenges finding the mooring, 100% attributed to my sub-par navigation skills. I contacted the number on the app and the town contact texted me pictures and walked me through the exact location. Super friendly staff and a great spot to moor at and explore.
