Scituate Harbor Cole Parkway Marina

Lovely marina and very helpful staff.

The Harbor Masters moorings are large and well marked. The equipment is new this year, 2 whips and a pick up. Easy to moor. The area has all you need for a boating trip.

We enjoyed our stay, we would’ve liked to have stayed longer. The docks were in great shape and clean. The marina is located within conveniently walking distance to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed a nice dinner after walking to the the Situate Lighthouse. We’ll be back.

If you make a Dockwa reservation and stay on a Harbor Master mooring you do not have tender service access.

Very easy in and out. Well protected and very close to everything the Scituate waterfront has to offer.

Nice clean dock, nice facilities, good location

Super docks. Brand new, clean, stable. Very calm water. Harbormaster staff very fast and friendly. Requested a little help with lines approaching at 4PM and 3 hands appeared on the dock in less than a minute which made tie-ing up super easy. Office hours are also excellent as the harbormaster staff is there until midnight. Facilities are right off the dock. The showers and bathrooms are institutional (think concrete, cinderblock, battleship grey paint) and unadorned, but they are well ventilated, very clean and have plenty of hot water. Restaurants and shops are less than 2 blocks, including CVS, a hardware store and a well-stocked marine supply store. Would definitely return.

Lovely harbor. Great location. Nice floating docks. Couldn’t get shore power to work - 50 amp or twin 30s. Another boater told me it’s a known issue since they upgraded their shore power system.

Can’t beat the location for visiting Scituate and the Harbormaster staff was very friendly

Clear communication

Nice peacful location. Simple to get to, nice dock, well protected harbor. Was surprised no gate access, just open, but was located next to the Harbormaster and Police so was not real worried. Cute town, worth a stop over.

Clean, friendly wonderful spot!!

Beautiful location and wonderful harbor

Great mooring at a good price.

It is a big marina but lacks much of what you might expect at most marinas: no showers, bathrooms , laundry , dock help etc.

Pretty, protected harbor and good access to town with various amenities. The facilities are minimal and the showers are straight from a gulag. No apparent access after hours.

The town moorings are in the outer harbor with no protection from an easily breeze so....rolly all night. Pea soup fog in the morning made it hard to find the dingy dock.....in the inner harbor btw ... The harbormaster was very helpful...5 stars there. Cute town with everything you need just steps away.

This is a well maintained, easy to navigate marina. Staff is very professional and helpful.

Beautiful marina. The harbormaster staff are friendly and super competent! Very enjoyable stay!

Great marina with nice floating docks. Convenient to grocery store, cvs, ace hardware, hair dressers, laundromat and restaurants. Nice people. We will return on southbound trip! 😀

The staff at the Scituate Harbormasters office are friendly and helpful. For our stay, the staff assisted with the initial tie up due to heavy winds and a pump out. The office has clean restrooms. The docks have been updated and are sturdy. Multiple amenities (grocery, CVS, hardware, marine supplies, coffee, bakery, takeout restaurants, shops, etc.) in the town are within walking distance. Scituate is a good place to stop and rest or to just go an relax. Harbormasters office already assisted with another booking via Dockwa.

Clean, friendly, exceptional!

Our stay was perfect! The marina was very nice, close to shops and restaurants, and the staff were exceptional. It was a great place!

Nice place to stay. Staff is very helpful and freindly. Facilities are basic but serve their purpose. Lots of restaurants and stores for food, etc within walking distance. I would certainly recommend.

Great marina staff was very helpful

Great marina with easy access and nice slips. Went on a Tuesday night, so not very busy and called when we arrived and were quickly told which slip was ours. Will be back again this summer.

Good quality mooring

A very nice sheltered harbor. The moorings were very clearly identified.

We docked this time to have shore power for a heater, and to take the pressure off finishing dinner ashore while the launch is running. Harbormaster office is right there with showers, and the staff is professional and friendly. Not sure if there are line handlers for docking, but our west wind was right from the back of the slip and we just backed in and hopped off to tie. Sad to see their season ends 10/15.

Nice stop over. The staff was very friendly and helpful

It's a well protected marina and great location in town. The club house could use work

Terrible internet service-essentially none at the slip.

Easy in and out. Will use them again.

It was great!! Easily accessible and near everything!

The Habormasters staff is very professional, friendly, always willing to make sure your stay in Scituate is memorable

Beautiful harbor; quiet; clean and easily accessible bathrooms. Plenty of restaurants, all super walkable.

Stay was great. All of the staff at the Harbor Masters office were great. I will be back again for sure. John Meskell

Very upset that the launch can’t pick up customers on a Harbormaster mooring. I don’t understand the reason for this?

Good communications. Nice pick up stick

Great spot, great service

Great location. The Harbormaster’a office was terrific in getting us settled. Highly recommend.

I wish the weather was better I had to leave a day earlier for safety reasons the harbor master was great

Upon entering harbor, hailed harbormaster on VHF 9 and was given mooring assignment and clear instructions on how to find the mooring which was well marked among the many other private and club moorings in Scituate Harbor. Called harbormaster on the phone and asked about where to park dinghy and was provided clear instructions. Overall, decent facility, beautiful place, and good service by the harbormaster.

Great spot with nice employees

Helpful guidance and secure mooring. Thank you!

They were fabulous. We were mistakenly given a mooring for a smaller boat so when we pointed out that the gave a a spot at the dock for the same price as a mooring. Dockhands and harbor master were very helpful for docking and undocking. We very much appreciated their giving us space at the dock.

Never got to scituate. Weather issues.

We had a great stay. It’s a Great spot.

Fantastic spot, great mooring

Accommodation and harbor master and assistant very helpful (I’m terrible at docking boat)I even extended my stay one more day

Great spot. Friendly and helpful harbor masters. Thank you.

Everyone was super nice and even helped with picking up the mooring pedant. Thanks.

Easy in and out, beautiful harbor, perfect location to everything you need.

Harbor Master’s staff were incredibly competent and friendly !!!

Great marina and wonderful town.

Great place to lay up. Everything you need within walking distance (groceries, chandelry, laundromat, Dunkins, pizza, erc.). Staff was great, friendly, and helpful. Especially the pumpout crew. The docks are in great shape. Only thing keeping a five star review is the showers are cramped with little privacy (they are seperate from the bathrooms).

The folks at Scituate are great .. very responsive and helpful in every regards

Pleasant harbor, no launch and no clear dinghy dock but public beach access. A little rolly with an eastern swell but nothing unbearable.

No issues. Stayed on mooring. Of note, no longer provide launch service for moorings. It was listed on Dockwa in fine print but missed it as have been there many times in past with launch service. Staff helpful and friendly.

Nice docks, nice location, great stay

Love this place and return regularly. We could wish the heads were available 24 x 7, but given the layout of the office it’s understandable.

l really can't say enough about the harbormaster team at Cole Parkway. We had a maintenance problem and they were extremely responsive and helpful. Marina facility is first class too! Location perfect...very close to multiple restaurants and other shops. Will definitely be back!

Great place and staff!

The mooring was where they said it would be. It was further from the Marina than I expected and there was no launch service in the evening. Oh well. We arrived at sunset and left at sunrise. A quick stop. Not much to say.

Moorings are too close. Neighbor swung into my stern

Harbormaster was very helpful. Mooring was priced reasonably. Town is nice; best Lobster bisque at Wharf Mill. Note: there is no tender, so you have to have a dinghy if using one of these moorings.

Harbormaster was quickly responsive when calling in for mooring assignment. Guys in the office very friendly. The launch we used was Cedar Point: $6.00 per person each way. Along with the tip, pretty expensive to get ashore. Showers and facilities available and clean. Mooring right at entrance to harbor, very open to the east.

Convenient mooring, easy to pick up and clean Harbormaster was courteous and helpful. Thank you

The marina stay was great. The Harbormaster met us upon arrival and assisted with the tieup. Good location for the slip, and the electrical service was perfect (30Amp x 2). There seems to have been a lot of work done on the floats and electrical service since our last visit in 2019. The Harbormaster and his staff are very friendly and checked with us more than once to see how our stay was going. There was no problem getting a pump out either. Hope to return next season. Jamie T.

Beautiful secure harbor Very pleasant 2 day stay!

I arrived after dark to find that the Harbormaster had given my assigned slip (EZS) away. They put me on the pump out T dock of which I barley fit. Had to plug into two different power Stanton’s as each had either dead plugs or reversed polarity. Assistant harbormasters were no help and never left the harbormasters office. They only had a “yeah, sorry, don’t know what happened”. Definitely not worth my $118

Excellent. Very accommodating. The Harbor has gotten very busy over the years. Launch services aren't as easy to come by as one might expect for a Harbor that is as busy as it seems to be at least on weekends. Overall, it's one of the better safe havens you'll find in Cape Cod Bay.

Third time here. Love it. Beautiful harbor. We eat at the Barker Tavern and was great. Ice cream at Nona’s Homemade. We will be back for sure.

Lovely little marina. We came in with the wind blowing 25-30 kn IN the marina! The harbormaster was awesome - she came running down to help grab lines and secure the boat. Lovely little town with nice restaurants on the water. A wonderful stay.

Harbor master helpful in finding the mooring. The launch forgot about us and the facilities are mediocre at best. Good restaurant and provisioning options.

Excellent facility - great people very helpful

Beautiful marina with top-notch access to all Scituate Harbor has to offer. Will be back!

Helpful line handling when we landed. Visited in a 35’ Jenneau, and we were able to snug right in. Great location. Easy access to bars and restaurants. Calm and quiet while we slept.

The harbormasters were extremely helpful and kind. Thanks again!

The harbormasters were very friendly and helpful. Had a great meal on the water a stones throw from the slip and a coffee in the morning from Dunkin as well. The entrance to the harbor is a bit challenging on the way out, but just gun it to the bell buoy.

Harbormaster it was very helpful guiding us in. Laundromat is just 100 yards from the docks

Mooring is a considerable distance from marina offices. Launch service referred to was $6/person per ride so for 2 of us to visit town and back was more expensive than other marinas offering launch service. Docks are very nice and recently upgraded. Pumpout pretty easy to handle although no hands were available when we came in. Town and stores very handy to marina but cost of launch deterred us from coming back and exploring. Would have paid $10-15 more for mooring if launch was included.

Awesome Harbor Master. Great Service, very responsive. My wife and I had a great stay, the Mill Wharf Resturaunt is awesome!

It was a great experience. Everyone was so helpful

Very friendly and accommodating. New piles to hold the docks and a new ramp this year. Fun stay over on our cruise north or south to the canal. Look forward to our next stop over.

We requested help in docking and they were right there. Location of slip was excellent. First overnight trip my wife has gone on without kids and she had a great time. Wants to try it again. We’re both in our 70’s.

Harbormaster was VERY helpful and nice. Facilities are scarce. (Couldn’t find bathroom or trash). Floating docks are in good shape. I was on a mooring. Moorings are out near the entrance to the harbor. If you are on a ball, give them a call first, save yourself the trip into the harbor. (Which is very tight)

Great location. Mooring was challenging to find. Part of town system but seemed like a private marina. Staff was excellent and helpful. Would stay again!

We ducked into Scituate because of weather and assumed that the mooring was in the inner harbor because that’s where the Marina renting the moorings is located. They assigned us a town mooring in the outer harbor that was pretty lumpy all night. If I had known I would have continued on to the next harbor.

Nice Marina, beautiful scenery and we were right in the downtown area and within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. I gave this a 4 because showers were $4.00. This was never mentioned when we arrived. There was also no WiFi. Those amenities would have added to the experience even if they were built into the price.

Nice quiet spot. Easy in and out from Boston or Cape Cod Canal. Great staff, very helpful. Great meal at Salt Society which is a very short walk. All the stores and restaurants within 1/4 mile. We will stop again.

Nice mooring place, good facilities, very professional and friendly staff.

Scituate is a lovely town. The mooring (pricey) was out by the lighthouse and easy to hook up. We also figured out that there's a pay-to-ride launch service (Easy Rider) which made everything easier once we got aboard.

Great place to stay..staff is friendly and very accommodating..

Harbormaster folks were great. Floating docks in a protected harbor. Right down town with everything you would need in walking distance.

The balls are located near the harbr entrance channel, so it can be a little bouncy with wakes and swell, and it's a long dinghy ride to the harbormaster's dock (launch service is not included in the mooring fee). That said, we had a great time walking around town. The grocery store is small but adequate and very convenient to the dinghy docks.

nice mooring with padded cylinder ball and new, well maintained pendants. Good dock facility with water accessible right there and a fuel dock also close by. The harbormaster's mooring where we stayed in the "outer" harbor by G7, not in the inner basin like you may think from the pictures. It was very windy but still generally flat and a nice place to sleep. They're figuring out launch service as well, but you can pretty much call any of the other launches and pay cash if you need. Or BYO dinghy.

Beautiful harbor and friendly people! As long as you don’t expect them to help you dock, you won’t be disappointed.

Great overnight stopover

Great marina, friendly staff, It was great having help with the docklines as backing in to these slips is a bit tricky.

Nice harbor and friendly community

awesome, hassle free, great rates

Very nice slip spot , On short notice they accommodated my request, Thanks for a great weekend,

Nice folks great service...

We had some issues with the power but otherwise everything was great.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location and proximity to many restaurants and beaches. We were lucky to see fireworks right from our slip both nights we were there. Neighboring boats were all friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Great people who work the dock and nice atmosphere.

These guys came out to help us dock with a huge thunderstorm approaching. Starting raining buckets about 2 minutes after we tied up.

No shower, no place to dispose of trash, only a portapotty, but friendly people. Water on dock only worked one day. Still ok to go there though. Nice town.

Loved our stay here! Right in the heart of Scituate, great restaurants, shopping and the views are beautiful! The marina personnel are the best and the people of Scituate are warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back

Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly!!! Great place to stay!
