Plymouth Town Wharf and Moorings

We enjoyed our stay. The harbor master led us to our mooring, and pumped out our holding tank immediately after securing our mooring. The launch service is included with the mooring fee. The restrooms and showers were clean and nice.

Super convenient. Will do this as often as we can. Thanks

Friendly and helpful staff, clean showers and facilities , Harbormaster staff even helped grab the mooring pennant, great staff !

Nice town . Free laundry. Showers need some hooks.

Great instructions, info and service!!

Excellent!! The launch operation is great, they are all very skilled and cordial and never leave you waiting long.

We had a great stay in Plymouth. The mooring was a bit hard to find, but after grabbing one we called and were informed that it would work for our vessel and we were good to go. The shower/bathroom facilities seem brand new and were great. Staff were friendly over the radio and phone.

Great place to stay, quiet and close to restaurants, facilities were very clean and staff super friendly we will definitely come back.

Nice harbor, but hard for me to comment otherwise since we did not go ashore. We were assigned mooring #12, but we were never able to find any numbers on the moorings and just picked up an open one which based on the mooring map was probably 11 or 12. Lower numbers appear to be closer to the finger float popular with the cormorants so I would try to avoid those.

Steamed down from Quincy and stayed 2 nights in the mooring field for the Green Harbor Tuna Tournament. Excellent access to Stellwagon and CCB. The towns waterfront infrastructure was top notch. Can’t wait for next year!

Great moorings, super nice and responsive dock master's office. Stayed with them few times and looking forward to many more in the future. Alex W. / Serenity

Stayed twice in the past 2 weeks and both times they were very accomodating. In fact, the first week we arrived in a terrible squall with minimal visibility and discovered the harbormaster had been monitoring our AIS signal when he came part of the way out the channel to meet us nad help guide us in. Much appreciated!!

Clean and new facilities. Good location.

Just stopped here overnight mid-trip. VERY helpful and friendly harbormaster team. They sent a RIB out to show us our mooring without even being asked to. The facilities look brand spankin’ new, though we didn’t go inside at all. One comment I would make is that you’ll want to close your hatch. There are a LOT of lobster boats here and they’re anll very active at 4am (which is typical, as we all know). Surprisingly the only issue was noise - there were zero wakes. They’re working and so no complaints on that - just a note to consider keeping your hatches closed for sleeping. Will 100% come back, and next time will stay longer. Beautiful area and very friendly locals!

Excellent location and launch service was awesome and timely.

Lovely harbor and very timely launch.

our stay at Plymouth this year could not have been any better. The launch, Maverick, was great. The people on Dockwa from your office were perfect. They even checked in the morning to see if everything was OK. They even asked us if we wanted to move our mooring in closer because of the east wind. Our stay could not have been better. Thanks very much!!

Easy to book. Very pleasant and welcoming staff at the harbormasters office. Beautiful facilities. Nice and clean bathrooms and showers. Great launch service. Beautiful harbour with lots of great restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great spot for a super night’s sleep! Brand new mooring!!

Very helpful launch driver. Good showers. Experienced a minor mixup in mooring assignment on arrival but it was eventually resolved by the harbormaster.

As usual the entire crew in Plymouth is outstanding with their responses and hlp when needed.

Nice place, great showers!

Great location great staff The launch staff was exceptionally helpfull

The harbormasters are the friendliest and seem to always be on site to offer assistance when needed.

We stay in Plymouth a fair amount, but this was our first time on a Town mooring. The mooring field is well laid out and there is even a map online. We had a minor mixup finding our mooring but the harbormaster was very responsive on VHF and quickly resolved our problem. Unfortunately, there was a floating dock next to our mooring which had become a roosting place for birds. We woke up the next morning to find our boat completely covered in bird poo and had to spend an hour washing it down (with salt water). It was disgusting. Never happened before. Easy access to town and plenty of places to park the dinghy. We didn't use any of the town facilities (showers, etc), so can't comment on that. I would book a spot here again, but absolutely nowhere near that floating dock!

Excellent mooring field with very well maintained moorings. Easy access to wonderful town of Plymouth with a great tour of the mayflower and Plymouth and rock.

Excellent guidance to the mooring and great position in the harbor. Free launch service a bonus! Captains Paul & Steve were super helpful.

Service and amenities were top notch. Wish we could have stayed longer but hurricane Lee had other plans. We'll be back. 1 year layer and we came back. Even better than last year. They communicate extremely well with professionalism. The bathrooms are clean, and they have laundry. So much history and things to do. Forefathers national monument is a must see.

Here’s the “Good, Bad, and Ugly” of our stay. The Good - The moorings are rigged to hold the Queen Mary and they are protected with foam edging it assure that your hull won’t be scratched. The staff is efficient, pleasant, and eager to help. The Bad - The trip into the mooring is long and circuitous. The Ugly - This was our second stay and a replay of the first. There are some Cormorants that just love to light on the boats spreaders and unload the results of their latest fishing expedition, after it was digested, of course. Not just once, but twice, until we posted a person in the cockpit to ward them off, right up until dark. What a stinking mess they made. Of course the Cormorants are not caused by Plymouth, but I did want to send out a word to the wise, since it happened, both times we have stayed there.

Safe area to duck into and plenty of restaurants and attractions. It was not the best in terms of assistance and information on the mooring field or the facilities.

Enjoyed a fairway mooring and listening to a great waterfront concert featuring music from the band Chicago. Responsive staff. Wish we could stay a second night.

Love staying here! We stayed most of the week including the 4th and the fireworks were excellent! The launch took a while afterward but that's to be expected. Already booking our next stay.

Plymouth Town Wharf and Moorings was awesome! The location, protection, the communication, all were excellent! The launch was great too, so friendly and accommodating! We will definitely be back!

Great service from Harbormaster and staff!

plymouth is a great destination and the plymouth town wharf and moorings are always super nice and accommodating. launch service is wonderful and the downtown is historical. love coming here.

Harbor master 5, launch drivers 4, mooring maintenance 3

Great facilities, great staff. They watched us on AIS coming in and guided us to the mooring.

Wonderful place to haul boat

The Plymouth Harbormaster could not be more accommodating. We did some work on the boat here and they helped transport some equipment to our boat. Free showers AND laundry!!! Fishing is good right off the mooring as well. Good access to dingy dock and shore. Highly recommend!!! :)

Great place to tuck in & wait for your tide the next day to go through the Cape Cod Canal. Restaurants are everywhere & beautiful sites to see. Would recommend this harbor, just follow the markers coming in because of shallows.

Plymouth is a great destination with lots to do. Everyone I came in contact with in the Harbormaster’s office went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

At first I thought it was overpriced for a night on a mooring. Once I went in and used the facility’s and talked to the harbor master I have to say it’s the best experience I’ve had as a transient. Very clean facility’s and friendly people

The only I had was with the dock attendant who did not know that the bow line on a sailboat should not be pulled in to secure the boat. I don't think he knew too much about sailboats. The facilities were clean and well taken care of, and I could not have asked for a better location.

We had a great time during our stay. Mooring was easy to find. Harbormaster came out to meet us to give us the lay of the land. Very friendly harbor. We would highly recommend. We would definitely go back.

The folks in Plymouth are excellent . Launch service even with 40mph winds, was fantastic. Laundry included was a great perk. Loved the town of Plymouth

Very nice town and mooring location, very responsive Harbourmaster .

Great people and service.

Nice calm, quiet mooring with launch service situated within walking distance to many restaurants. The city provides a free taxi service called Circuit to get out to the historic sites or wherever you need to go. Just tip your driver!

Great mooring location ,,, easy access to the Plymouth waterfront. The harbormaster staff were very friendly and accommodating

The morning was good and so was Maverick, the launch that was included.

Good people and nice facilities with moorings close to shore.

Free Launch service was very responsive, harbormaster staff were very conscientious and checked on us each day. Boater facilities were very well maintained.

Harbormaster in all staff for wonderfully welcoming and helpful. Surprising level of service

Great stay on the moorings at Plymouth town moorings!!

Harbor Master led us into the mooring field, showed us our assigned mooring ball and helped us hook up. Quiet, secure night. Took tender to Mayflower Dock. Enjoyed wonderful lunch at Yellow Barn Deli and Restaurant.

Outstanding location and service. Launch service was very accommodating. Loved it!!

Very friendly and helpful. Excellent shower facilities. No trash bins dedicated for boaters.

Great spot, good communication before the trip. No issues.

Great stay in Plymouth. The moorings are well located, have launch service included (or use of a dingy dock), very nice bathrooms/showers, access to free laundry machines (just bring soap). Lots to do in town.

Great location... Kind, helpful staff!

Amazing… great people and service. Thank you!

Wonderful harbor . Awesome facilities

Great experience, we came in late and the harbormaster was waiting to direct us to the mooring, totally unexpected and appreciated.

They were absolutely great. Very helpful and accommodating!! Great experience!! We’ll be back!

What a pleasant stay!! We enjoyed it so well we stayed an extra day. The mooring field in this harbor is well situated and well organized. Ground tackle in good order & ball was easy to locate but Harbormaster offers escort if needed. All of the Harbormaster staff are clearly well trained, very professional, friendly & helpful. The facilities are relatively new & first rate. Spacious clean showers & modern free laundry equipment. Walking distance to almost everything. Love this place. Hope to return.

Another great stay. Excellent facilities from the Plymouth Harbor Master and Crew. Could use a bigger dinghy dock. Location is right near the loud restaurants and tour boats. May be an issue if you are looking for early rest. Maverick Launch is included and very reliable.

Great location, great communication, lots to see and do ashore.

Nice town. Good food. Harbormasters are very accommodating. Nice showers and laundry. Only complaint is the dinghy docks. Three of them and all are extra full.

Great stay. Very welcoming all around. Clean, modern bathrooms and showers. Launch service runs 8am-9pm. Plenty of restaurant options. Music and traffic ashore was a bit loud but nothing that earplugs didn't take care of.

We had some engine trouble coming into the harbor over the weekend and decided to make the best of it by staying for a long weekend. The harbormaster here was above and beyond kind to us. He found room for us in a full harbor and allowed for us to stay in the full harbor as long as we liked. He checked in on us and offered to help in anyway. We love Plymouth and it is it's own review in and of itself, a highly recommended harbor. But this review is specific for town marina, it is a friendly place, great staff right down to the shuttle drivers. Hoping to return with a repaired engine soon!

This was a wonderful harbor, with exceptional facilities and friendly professional staff at the Harbormasters office. They met us as we arrived in the harbor and showed us to our mooring ball. Several dinghy docks are available. Laundry and showers are new and clean. This is a very popular place for locals and tourists. Also superb coordination between BoatUS and the local marine service, Jesse's, who helped us when our engine battery cable needed replacement. Ryan at BoatUS couldn't have been nicer, and really handled the tow expertly, and got us in touch with Jesse's. Overall an excellent experience in Plymouth.

Had a wonderful experience. Launch service was the best we’ve ever had.

Good location, friendly staff , dinghy dock is very crowded and hard to get a spot at or would have given 5 stars.

Harbormaster was very accommodating and helpful

Launch prompt, Harbormaster super helpful! Safe holding during storm. Great options for dinner.

Amazing town, great facilities (clean and like new) Highly recommended

This harbor is great- the harbomaster and staff are fantastic- it is nice to see a strong working harbor and accommodations and services are right their - we are definitely coming back- pay attention to staying in the long winding channel to get into this gem

Great location, easy trip to dinghy dock.

Good experience all around! Very nice town facilities!

Could not be more helpful in every way. The best. service from any marina in my 50+ years of boating. And the harbor is and mooring are is not crazy crowded like most other marinas. And Plymouth downtown has everything,,,and something new each year. GREAT great place and service.

Moorings are easy to locate and easy to get. Great location and harbor master team was fantastic and super friendly. Boaters bathroom are showers are super clean! Only minor thing is that there are a lot of working vessels in the field that some times leave a bit too in a hurry leaving a wake very early in the moorning but not most were very considerate, I will def be back! ( Final Note, the Launch which is not operated by the city or harbor master stopped at 8pm during the weekend of my stay which is not convenient. I believe hours will be extended to 10pm in July so bring your dinghy if you can)

Harbormaster staff were very helpful. Interesting to see all the historical sites in Plymouth.

We arrived and stayed two nights. Very good overall. Launch was great, even operated in the rain and very responsive. Lots to do in Plymouth. Restaurants, walking trails, some history, protected and calm harbor. Transient moorings easy to get to. Will be back.

Harbormaster was very helpful with directions to our mooring ball.

Nice stop love New Bedford

Very accommodating Harbor. Harbor master was out there when I arrived and helped me find my mooring. Took the launch in. Town was nice. Will return.

Beautiful Harbor, easy to locate mooring and launch service included was a huge plus and need. Dinghy dock is overcrowded.

Excellent historical stop. Stayed on Harbormaster mooring ball for three nights. The harbormaster led us to the transient ball. The ball comes with complementary water taxi. There are shoreside restrooms and showers. The Stop and Grocery is a long 30 minute uphill walk. But here’s what we learned. The GATRA local mass transit has a secret. Call 844.358.4422. Have your pickup and delivery address’s ready. They will pick you up at the Harbormaster office, or wherever you are in town. It will take you as far as the Plymouth Potouxet Museum, Stop and Shop, wherever in town. (Harbor Freight next to the grocery store). And, its only $2.00 per person per trip. Back to the harbor. Great equipment and people. Boats under around 45 ft.

Very protected moorings, you get a mooring assignment before you get there, and all town moorings are in great condition. Plymouth didn’t disappoint, as usual.

We were tired after a 20 hr passage. A little cross eyed. We didn't ask for help, but the Harbormaster came out and showed us to our mooring. That was wicked nice. Thank you! The new facilities are super nice.

Thank you again for my 4th wonderful stay with you this summer- your harbor patrol crews are the MOST helpful- Cheers!

Harbormaster staff were friendly and hepful. The facility is amazing .... fairly new, super clean

We had a wonderful stay here. The harbormaster stopped by the boat to check on us. They were very friendly. The mooring field is a bit of a ways in, but is very well protected. The facilities are new and very nice. Laundry is free. It would be nice if there was an access card, code to get in instead of contacting the harbormaster. Plymouth was a great town to visit, just avoid Plymouth Rock, very underwhelming. There is a wonderful seafood market right on the dock.

Location is awesome right next to the MayFlower. Price for the moorings was a great deal. Very helpful Harbormaster Assistants came in the boat and pointed our mooring for us. The Maritime facility is brand shining new. The showers are 5 star hotel level. The city was very quaint we loved walking around it. Definitively very recommendable

New facilities, washer & dryer, showers. very nice.

Well-sheltered mooring field, reasonable rates, fuel at the harbormaster's location. Multiple dinghy docks. Like-new transient facilities. Just beware of a lot of commercial traffic in the area.

The Plymouth harbormaster team is welcoming, kind and incredibly accommodating. They moved boats about to allow us to use one of their heavier moorings and met us as we came in to guide us to the mooring. Launch service is included in the fee and Paul, who ran the launch in the afternoon was super helpful to my dad who has mobility challenges. Even with an impending thunderstorm, Paul was kind and took the time to make sure everything worked for us. A great stay! We will be back!

Excellent place to stay. Facilities clean, launch service is great. Highly recommend

The harbormaster met us in the busy harbor and led us to our mooring - no guesswork required.

Great location, friendly dock hands, lots do and see in Plymouth. Free pump out and launch. Staff met us at mooring field and led us to our mooring. Great service, very friendly.

Most helpful service, spotless facilities, secure, well-protected moorings, steps from the commercial and touristic heart of one of the most iconic and historic U.S. towns and ports. We love the Plymouth Town Wharf and Moorings!

This was one the best experiences we have ever had with transient moorings. The team is very friendly and helpful, and they made us feel so welcome--shout out to Harbor Master Mike and Launch Captain Tyler. Same for the pump out crew--they happily offered to make an early run out to the boat for us because we had to leave early. Facilities are new and spotless and very convenient. The town is terrific, so much to see and do, and great nightlife...and all so close to the moorings. Only complaint about Plymouth...there's a great franchise opportunity for a Starbucks!

The location is amazing, for sure, but the harbormaster staff were all super helpful!! The facilities are better than a lot of yacht clubs for showers and laundry. They were very clean and well air conditioned!! There's only one launch, and the drivers were also helpful and responsive.

Excellent shore facilities at Harbor Master’s office

Great facilities. Nicest people on earth!!! They could not be more helpful and many services ie:laundry, etc. were free. It’s a long way in - 5 miles- but definitely worth the trip. Lots to do and see in town. Free electric car service. Great restaurants. All you could ask for, and even a big rock!

Everyone was excellent and friendly and helpful. Harbor master and his crew do an excellent job.

Harbor patrol most helpful and the commercial fisherman leaving the harbor early in the morning are very considerate

Had a fantastic stay in Plymouth Harbor over the 4th of July. The new facilities are impeccable and spotlessly clean. The Harbormaster Chad is a great welcoming face for the Town of Plymouth. Highly recommend if you are cruising or sailing the coast of Massachusetts.

All went well. No issues with reservations. Mooring a tad too close to all the harbor lobster boats if you don't like being awoken to noisy engines and rocking very, very early. Otherwise love staying in this harbor.

Excellent service from launch crew and harbormaster. Moorings are easy to find and in great condition. Easy access to ice right at the dock. Thank you!

Plymouth has become our favorite destination from the boston area and this trip did not disappoint. Every interaction with the harbor master team is easy and friendly. It’s easy to take the dinghy in to one of 4 different dinghy docks. The city is very walkable. This time we even ventured a bit more and realized what we were missing on top of the hill. Note - search out 7-11 and there are a ton of restaurants and a good handful of shops worth visiting along that street. Glad we keep going here and plan to continue!

Launch was readily available

Brand new moorings...awesome!

Harbourmaster and the crew were great

Plymouth was one of the few moorings we used on a pre-Memorial Day trip that had all services up and running. Harbor master was extremely attentive and helpful. Facilities were clean, easy to find and located close to town with stores and restaurants. We walked into a contact dispute between the harbormaster and the launch service, but the harbormaster resolved our problems quickly. The showers were locked and harbormaster had to provide access, which seemed clumsy. The marina/horbor itself is pleasant - maybe a bit too much light at night. Early departure of fishing boats causes some rocking and noise. Very long and circuitous entry into the harbor.

Beautiful night at the mooring. Lines were clean and new. Facilities are brand new, shower was nicer than my condo. Free laundry. Working boats galore, and 5 am is start time for fisherman. Not a big deal, adds to the atmosphere. Pump out, diesel and water on dock.

Clean mooring lines and facilities. Very accommodating staff and launch service

Showers and bathrooms were nice facilities, but Harbormaster restrictions on use made them less welcoming. Dinghy tie-up space was non-existent. We had to tie to other dinghys or tie up at a spot that dries out at low tide.

Ended up spending more time in Plymouth than planned and very happy about it. Harbormaster and crew were very friendly and helpful, facilities were new and clean. Our mooring was a perfect place to ride out remnants of Ida. Plymouth has lots of restaurants with great food. Overall a pleasantly great experience.

Moorings are nice, but pricey.

Great moorings, looked in good shape. Stayed 3 nights and were nice and secure for the remnants of Ida coming over. Nice bathroom, shower and laundry facilities with the only downside having to be let in by harbormaster crew and the lack of hooks or places to put your stuff in the shower area. You are located right in town, walking distance from shops, etc. Launch is really convenient too but didn't run one morning due to the lousy weather from the storm. We will be back again.

The friendly dock master boat met us at our mooring ball. Everything was perfect. Town was interesting and had plenty of good restaurants. We will return for longer next time. Thanks!

Very helpful Harbormaster staff. Easy approach and good water in a well marked channel, the breakwater makes a safe harbor for moorings. Good mooring balls with easy & clean pick up sticks. Shoreside small dock for Commercial Fuel & the Town’s self-pumpout. Very convenient & responsive harbor launch service by Maverick harbor thats included with Town’s mooring price, but tipping $ is a good tradition. Great historic town with vibrant businesses of resturants shops bars.

The instructions on Dockwa were great in terms of finding the mooring field and our assignment, with no need to call for assistance. The facilities, bathroom and showers, were very nice at the new harbor master building. The launch was easy friendly and quick. Two issues: first when we arrive to our mooring ball #7 there was a small power boat tied up. We called the harbor master office. They asked us to tie up to another ball and wait for the small boat to leave. We asked if we could just stay at ball # 8. They said no we would have to move. We stated that we would like to go ashore and not have to wait around. The harbor master said they would out shortly to remove the boat from ball # 7. As the harbor master arrived so did the owner of the small boat. There was conversation but the illegal tie up. But the squatters left the ball and we moved to our assigned # 7 ball. I wonder why we could have not stayed on #8 as no one stayed on that mooring during our overnight stay? We were inconvenienced for about 45 minutes. With no apologies or fines or payment charged to the squatters. Which brings me to my second issue: We stayed one night, Sunday night and left Monday morning. I received an email requesting $135 for staying on the mooring until Wednesday. Monday night we stayed in Onset harbor booking through Dockwa. And Tuesday night in Cutty Hunk. I have receipts for both stays. Wednesday morning we were sailing in Block Island sound. We should not be charged for the two additional nights. Ironically the wanted to charge me for days I was not there, but did not charge the squatter when the caught them? I realize the harbor master has a tough job with the size and number of moorings, but they should police the mooring field. I know they have boats and crew that they can check the mooring ball assignments. Three boats and about six crew members arrived to deal with the squatter. Plus records would show we had reservations for one night. They could verify we had left Monday morning by a boat ride or visual observation from their beautiful new office, which oversees the harbor and mooring field. We will consider staying there again, but next time we’ll radio the harbor master when we leave and record the time and name of the person on the radio. Overall we had a pleasant stay in Plymouth for the nineteenth hours were in town spending close to $300 on meals, attractions and gifts helping the local economy.

Great location. New faculties - terrific. You have to be let into them each time - no fob or code, which isn’t the most convenient way to go about things. I know other reviewers have praised the Harbormaster staff as super helpful and friendly. That wasn’t exactly my experience. At times they seemed annoyed by my questions.

Great location, excellent water taxi service and beautiful new facilities.

very nice place and impressive service

A well protected harbor and a very friendly and accommodating Harbormaster & staff. The new Harbormaster building is a huge improvement and the launch service is convenient and responsive.

Awesome. Salts and Dillion’s best restaurants

Simply beautiful, everyone was great, thanks Plymouth Town Wharf and Moorings for your hospitality.

Can’t say enough great things about the harbormaster here. Very attentive and polite. Arranged for a pump out for me when the boat wasn’t running. Easy to work with scheduling, etc. the town itself is a great place to stop. Great cell connection (I was zoom calling while here). Brand new facilities - free laundry - clean bathrooms etc. thank you PLYMOUTH. I’ll be back!

Harbor staff very helpful. Showed us to our mooring. Peaceful night. Great pizza at Steve’s pizza

As others stated, the harbormaster was great, greeting us as we arrived and showing us our mooring even with out our asking !

Superb town and pleaseant nice environment with great people. Our grandkids learned much about life of fishermen and how hard these people work. Access to boat was difficult once Maverick shuttle broke down. It could have easily been remidiated had the dockmaster allowed us to put our stern towards fuel dock which is a floating dock (But refused twice and no one could understand his logic) The officers from harbor master were very nice and while all transportation was down they brought our daughter and grandkids ashore. We truly thank the men and women from Plymouth harbormaster office for their service. The town dock (dock master) could learn much from the harbor master professionals. Louis

Great

Nice marina and facilities, great staff, great location. Moorings are a little unprotected ( not the marinas fault) and they are a bit rocky. Had a nice 3 day stay though overall. We had friends on the dock system and it was fantastic.

Snug little harbor if you need a place to tuck in. It’s a ways up the well marked channel and best to have the current with you as it can run over a knot. The town is touristy but found an excellent dinner at Salt.

Great service by phone in setting things up, good mooring (easy to find, minimal slime, had a pennant buoy) and was close to shore (though full disclosure, we didn't go in as we were late in/early out for our trip). A bit of noise from the shoreline live music, but hey, it was a Saturday night and so it goes. Would certainly stay again.

We had a nice night in Plymouth Harbor. The Harbormaster's office was very helpful and the location was great as well as the launch service!

We stayed for two nights on one of Plymouth Harbor's well protected transient moorings. The Harbor Master manages these moorings and were extremely responsive and helpful. They even called to ask our intentions during TS Elsa.

Really nice stay. We were given a mooring well inside the morning area. Excellent protection & easy short dink ride to the dock. All good

Great stay. Harbormaster was particularly helpful. Clean facilities.

Great location - T/O Plymouth is alive and well, great food and drink to please all and the moorings are in the perfect location. Free shuttle to and from the mooring is awesome!

Due to the bad weather we never travled to Plymouth. But we will plan on staying another time.

Nice Harbor master led us to our mooring on the edge of the fishing boat mooring field. Clearly marked channel coming in. Fishing boats fired up engines at 4 am. Town docks are rough and worrisome for inflatable dinghy. Many restaurants in town.

The guys at the Plymouth Harbormaster could not be any nicer! I called in to see if they had an open mooring for the night and explained that I was solo on my 20’ sailboat and this was my first trip into Harbor (ANY harbor). They sent me an escort to bring me to the mooring, showed me to the dinghy docks and made sure I was safe and all questions were answered. I had an amazing experience for my first harbor mission.

Fantastic staff, thanks for the pump out!

Great mooring inside the seawall. The Plymouth Harbormaster and crew were very helpful and a pleasure to communicate with. They were readily available and answered all our questions. Dinghy dock. Easy access to restaurants and historic sites. Highly recommended.

One of the best mooring experiences I have enjoyed over the years of sailing (and now power boating). No slips were available for Labor Day weekend and so we needed to find a mooring on the south shore. When Dockwa avowed no availability, the Plymouth Harbormaster helped us to secure a mooring that was just yards away from the launch dock. The mooring pendant was big enough to hold a battleship (and clean of slime), and the nicest surprise was that there was no charge for the launch service. We plan to visit again frequently in the future.

Sailing Catamaran - 44' X 25' X 4' We planned to drop the hook here and an advance call to the Harbor Master gave us good info about the only two places to do it - marked "Plymouth Harbor" and "Cowyard" on Active Captain. For the $67.50/day flat rate, we decided to tie up to Ball #1 for a short dinghy ride into town, but a few boats were anchored in the Plymouth Harbor anchorage. It's very calm and protected in the harbor. RESERVING A BALL: Reservations were easy on Dockwa, and the resulting emails provided good info. Call the Harbor Master when you arrive, and he'll talk you right into your ball. The mooring field is snug, with most of the occupants fishing boats or recreational speed boats. Transient balls have a tall orange flag on a float at the end of the painter, so they're easy to grab from the front of your boat without a boat hook. DINGHY DOCKS: The tide here is big - around 11 feet. If you use the dinghy dock at the Town Wharf (near Woods Seafood), pay attention to the tide. After a short trip into town, I wound up killing an hour or so at the nearby pub waiting for my dinghy to float free of the surrounding mud. There is also a public dinghy dock right next to the Mayflower II. PROVISIONING: Stop & Shop is cheaper than Mayflower Provisioning for food, but the latter has booze, so there's that. Both are a long walk for a short Uber from the wharf area. Everyone was very friendly here, and we enjoyed our stay!

The mooring was quite close to town and the dinghy dock Unfortunately we docked our dinghy , went to breakfast Upon our return the tide had gone out leaving our dinghy quite land locked ( in mud) 2 staff from the Dockmaster’s went WAY ABOVE the call and actually lifted our dinghy and motor out of the mud , over the dock and back onto the water !!!! saved us our day for getting to the cape cod Canal CUDOS to the 2 young men for their help !

Our stay was amazing. Harbormasters office was very helpful. Mooring location was perfect.

Launch very friendly and accommodating, office contact efficient friendly and welcoming. Town is tourist full for the situation but vast majority are masked.

Great place to visit, lots of restaurants/shops within walking distance of harbor - the emails you get from the HM have some missing/incorrect info. I think they just haven't been upated in a while, so.... First, CALL or radio the harbormaster to get your mooring assignment, Second, the launch is included in your mooring fee (according to the launch driver) Third, Alden Park restaurant is NOT a 10 minute walk. Once they update their emailed info, they get 5 stars. (And it looks like in the near future they will have transient facilities, too)

The location was great - our mooring ball was close to the Harbormaster office and close to the tender dock. However, for $67.50, there were really no facilities. Very helpful emails ahead of our arrival and after our arrival. Easy approach. Good instructions on how to get to our mooring. Great place to walk around and get seafood. Would come back.

The Plymouth Harbormaster crew does an amazing job. As a Plymouth resident, in a long time boater, I have such respect for what these people do every day. From support at the state boat ramp, ensuring the safety of everyone out on the water, and being so very accommodating when it comes to mooring reservations, especially in these uncertain times. They deserve ten stars, But this app will only allow me five!

Large & clean moorings. Excellent launch service. Unfortunately, the expected shower and laundry facilities were not completed, due to delays related to COVID-19. Pump out boat was available only on Monday & Friday.

Very nice lots of activities and great food

Harbor Master was responsive and assisted in finding the mooring in a large field. Lots of spots for dinghy tie up. Great town.

The reservation confirmation was sent without a mooring number. Called the harbourmaster and got the number and directions to the mooring ball. The town is nice, but we struggled to find a place to eat because we had our dog with us. There was no place to get groceries nearby. Staff were very friendly and there is a tourist information center just across the street from the dock. Very sheltered harbor. Lots of fishermen getting up early so best to imitate them.

Great snug harbor. Easy in and out. Some loud music from shoreside venues till pretty late but all in all a great place to visit.

Excellent staff, Very helpful!!!

Easy access to town Dingy dock crowded but workable Easy to refuel

Great stay in Plymouth. Harbormaster and staff were very professional and Plymouth is a great port to dock. We will be back.

Great harbormaster who was very flexible with us when we had to stay longer on mooring to have a repair. Close into town, lots of dingy docks and pumpout boat readily available.

Hail on VHF16, they will move you to a working channel (probably 12). Launch service is a private company on VHF9. As of 2019 it was $5 per person for the day, and they were running until 10pm on a tuesday. They said they were dredging the mooring field in Sept 2019 and all boats had to be out. No Showers; sounds like they are building a facility for future years though. Very protected behind the seawall.

Great harbor and a fun walking at town at the end of the dock. Diesel, gas and water with east access.

We had a great time, Chad (Harbormaster) fulfilled our request...

Bare bones (no on-shore facilities offered but I think there are some by the Mayflower Museum) but well-placed moorings at 55% the cost of the YC. The launch service is a tad expensive but prompt and helpful.

Great stay, we were on mooring #5. Actually someone had overstayed on #5 so the harbormaster put us on a mooring in front of it. The HM was super attentive. The communication through the Dockwa app prior to our stay was outstanding. Be aware that the lightning launch is separate. From #5 it was $7 per person round trip. I'm pretty sure we could have negotiated a better daily rate if we needed more frequent trips, but we just did 2. Worked out great. I can't speak to the moorings out by the breakwater. I'm sure given the boat traffic you would get tossed around out there but #5 was great. We hung out on deck and listened to the band on-shore. There is plenty to do in Plymouth Harbor, great bars and food. There are no shower facilities at this time but for a one night stay it was fine. At $37 the price is right. I really can't say enough about the communication from the Harbor Masters office. They really make you feel like they want you there. Know what you're getting and not getting and plan accordingly and you will enjoy your stay.

great !!! had a good time easy mooring to get too. and would like to thank the harbor masters for all their hard work Great job to all !!!

Stay was easy. Paying ahead of time through Dockwa was certainly convenient.

Excellent service from fuel vendors, responsive Harbormaster office, courtesies all around. Engaging Town and good restaurants. Look forward to the next visit.

Great harbor. Lots of action around the docks. Many great restaurants and bars close by. It is a little noisey because of live outdoor music until 12:30 on weekends though, but didn't bother us.

We have stayed in Plymouth Harbor in the past, ant it’s always been 5-Stars. Last night we had the mooring closest to the No Wake Zone. It was a few feet outside of the channel, and only a few feet from the No Wake Zone marker. This season, the No Wake Zone market was switched from a large floating dock with a big sign, to a smaller buoy. Needless to say, boaters don’t pay as much attention to the small buoy as they did the big dock. Mooring that close to the start of the No Wake Zone made for a very rough night for our three-year-old. There a number of real wahoos that flew past us. We got tossed.

Good location and nice people

Municipal staff was great, location was convenient. Only negatives were the mooring line was very gross with slimy marine growth and wakes from go fast boats that didn’t slow down.

The Plymouth Harbormasters could not have been nicer or more supportive. We are traveling late in the season, so many services are not available, but they provided a pump out service and water. The town mooring (#5) was perfect throughout our four night stay while waiting for better weather and calm seas.

Great Harbor to spend some time in! Helpful Harbor Master and crew.

Good shelter, great stay, friendly harbormaster
