Very nice day at George’s Island mooring. It’s sad the island is closed but it was nice to have it all to ourselves.

Always a nice spot. Can be a bit rolley from wakes but stop at night. Third time staying third time asking someone to move. Always polite and cool but makes me feel like a bit of a tool.

Always great to moor on the island, I was surprised to learn that the island was closed on Sunday before Labor Day.

Someone on our mooring when we arrived at 5pm. Somewhat difficult conversation, but they eventually left. Any help available for this situation?

Our mooring was not occupied when we got there, that is always a plus !!
We had a great day
Quick question: Are all those moorings listed as George's Island because Gallops beaches are closed ? We prefer the Gallops side .
Thank you

Great!!! Beautiful day and perfect location. One question; is that a no wake area? Several vessels coming by at high speed.

mooring line looked like it had never been cleaned and/or rarely used. Covered with detritus which bow of the boat. But did work as advertised, so that was good

Great view of the ocean and Boston light

A bit rolly overnight. Not a deal breaker but you get a fair amount of wake. Swam to shore. island is closed, no ferry, which made it much more enjoyable. 30 bucks on a ball in Boston.

We had a great time but the mooring lines need to be cleaned off, the one we had was covered in mussels and sharp shells.

Had a beautiful, quiet evening. It was a Thursday and cloudy, so we were alone. Wind was light and from the east, so we were perfectly sheltered. Nice view of the Boston skyline and a gorgeous sunrise to boot! Booking was quick, easy, and friendly

Great service, website is easy to use, and quick response. Unfortunately, I was unable to use it because of a breakdown. But I love the service. When word first got out about these moorings being established, I thought "sure just one more way to regulate open space. But I don't feel like that anymore. As long as I plan ahead I can get a spot that I know is secure and will keep my boat safe while I visit the islands. And the system and people monitoring it are highly responsive. Great job.

Excellent visit as usual

Excellent stay, would like to see mooring maps that are easier to navigate
by Chris C. - Verified user on Jul 29, 2024
Nice mooring and close to the beach. Pennants are a little covered in growth but not anyone's fault there. Rockier than we expected from the channel nearby. Good place to pull in for the afternoon!

Too many waves from passing boats
by Ram M. - Verified user on Jul 27, 2024
Nice moorings convenient to the islands.
Restroom facilities are locked during the week.
The numbers on the mooring balls are hard to read from a distance.

Interesting location to
Explore if you are a history buff, fair amount of wakes from ferries and other boats. Short row from mooring to land on the beach
by Stefano M. - Verified user on Jul 23, 2024
Received a confirmation within minutes. Cheerfully received a mooring ball number within an hour and then, later, was given a more protected ball for the overnight mooring. Airplanes landing overhead and a reasonable amount of boat wake going by, but very nice in the morning.
