Cape Ann's Marina Resort

Dockmaster Karl is on top of it all. Great service as always.

We ended our boating season with a nice long weekend at Cape Ann Marina, the weather was great and the dock crew always accommodating. It was challenging trying to navigate the ONGOING on-site construction, I hope they can finish up before next season as it's quite a mess. One BBQ grill on N Dock being shared by all,, had us waiting till well after dark to eat. As the other new grill was without propane (and missing burners). When we tried using this grill on Friday it had propane, but we were asked to move because there was a wedding going on (further validating they care little about transient boaters visiting). Out of ice on Sunday, and only one shower does make it a bit challenging. I wish they would upgrade some of the amenities to make for a better 'mariners experience' as it seems they care little about the boaters and more about the 'public facing' hotel & restaurant' side of the business. why they shut down the pool area for swimming and a Koi pond makes no sense at all. I would like to give the marina more stars and a higher grade.. but for a second full season the marina really is a mess. and to be completely honest,, the only reason we keep coming back is because of the welcome and accommodating nature of Karl the dock master and the hospitality of the boaters that reside at the marina 'especially 'B' dock'. I cant say enough about Karl keeping everything running and everyone accommodated Sunday with little to no help. he was SOLO for most of the afternoon,, literally running from the gas dock to other dock areas around the marina landing boats all day. I was very impressed with his calm nature and upbeat attitude but exhausted watching him. please get him the much needed dock hands he deserves before we lose him to a more competent marina. we'll be back as soon as we can.. but I cant really recommend Cape Ann Marina to other boaters in the current 'substandard' condition. I hope they get their collective act together, as it's a great location. .. and would think accommodating the mariners experience should be their main focus instead of an afterthought as it is now.

Had a fabulous time! Dock master and Dock hands were very helpful and attentive. Permanent slip folks were so nice, we made new friends!

Had a wonderful stay. Carl is a great dock master. He responded to all my phone calls about concerns with the channel depths since we were arriving at low tide. An interesting drawbridge at the entrance to the Blynman Canal to say the least! Lots of boats in the marina with a fairly industrial feel. A nice place to stay in Gloucester.

All was really great until I took a shower in the Marina shower facility. Disgusting!!! Black mold on shower curtain, shower stall filthy, sink jammed with white muck. Shelves dirty.

We were in a great spot. Very attentive dock master and crew.

Very nice stay, staff was very helpful and friendly. Thank you

A pleasure as usual. Dock master and staff are top notch, as are the facilities.

enjoyed our stay, the staff was friendly and helpful

As always the hospitality here is outstanding! Carl, you always treat us like family….thanks again for accommodating all our needs! A great place to go, I highly recommend visiting!

Nice facility, beautiful location, excellent service, will return!

Great place to visit and stay, Karl the dockmaster is always great to deal with and we were well accommodated for our 2 night stay. The resort environment was clean and well staffed, only a short walk to downtown and the restaurant was great for dining and watching the hustle and bustle of the very active marina. Fuel and pump out dock staff were also very friendly and helpful. Great stop that is well protected and easy to navigate. Can’t wait to visit again!

Excellent staff and service

Wish I could give 1/2 star! I would rate this marina 4 1/2. Excellent location.Dock in very good condition and staff were welcoming. Heads were clean. Wish they had a pet area, not much green. Easy walk to prominade and about a mile into town.Would recommend and would definitely stay again.

Excellent location, slip and service. Really enjoyed our stay. Dock master and staff were welcoming and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

very helpful. Nice location, quite, and good amenities as well.

Karl and the team were excellent !

Dock crew professional and courteous. Fun place for couple days. Restaurant just so so. But to give them credit they were just starting up as many are this time of year.

Staff was outstanding, the marina was clean and well run! The dock master Carl was top notch and I wound most definitely recommend!

Chris the dock master is a great help to visiting boaters.

The employees of the marina were great. Loved the time spend and would return again.

Carl the DM is awesome. Great location. Only issue us getting reservations at the restaurant.

The dock master was very helpful and the marina and bathrooms were well taken care of. However, the Beacon Wi-Fi is horrible because even if it works, which is doubtful, it’s incredibly slow. The marinas in Newburyport finally got rid of Beacon and got OnSpot which works great.

We called harbor master and he was responsive. initially added us for the wait-list and mentioned he will call back later, which he did and gave us a slip. When we arrived, the staff were great, they answered all our questions, responded to our arrival radio check and provided all the info we needed. they were all wearing masks which was really great and appreciated. We will visit again.

Kudos 2 Karl & Neil 4 our perfect arrival. Marina looks beautiful & slip location was really great 4 our 2 boats. We appreciate these gents & ur team 4 keeping the marina well run & safe. Cheers! Tutto Bene & Royal Flush

Dock master was able to accommodate all our boats in one area . Food was good at mile marker bar, short walk to causeway restaurant for lunch , and a short boat ride to wingersheek beach.

Karl the Dockmaster went above and beyond for us. The weekend here felt like a mini vacation. We will absolutely be back.

We love this place -- our send stay this year and it doesn't disappoint! The rooms are clean, the view is fantastic, there's lots of action, the staff is friendly, breakfast is delicious. Nothing bad to say.

We had a very nice time staying at the resort. The enclosed pool and Jacuzzi were very fun.

We loved our stay but in the morning we had to high tail it out when we weren’t ready because the boat next to us wanted to go out and couldn’t clear us. Wish they had more room in spots

Great service and a great facility

We had a wonderful weekend. The dock staff were great. Thank you.

as always had a great time. got a great slip and everyone was very helpful .karl the new dockmaster was the best. restaurant and live entertainment really makes it a time to remember. nice easy walk uptown and a short run up river to beach.

Great get away! Can’t wait to go back

The dock master Carl was great and the staff were very informative

Great stay except for the weather.

Friendly staff, great amenities, and a beautiful setting!

We have stayed at this marina several times and it just continues to get better. Had a great weekend and staff is extremely helpful! Thanks Jesse

Welcoming and helpful. Mud flats at low tide restrict maneuverability. Good restaurant in hotel. Out door music played until 2300.
