As always, Mica was perfect in helping whenever it was needed.

The only negative was something the marina doesn't control. On weekend evenings a nearby restaurant had unpleasant live outdoor music that was quite annoying at the marina.

Dysart's is a great stop in Southwest Harbor, Maine. There are some very good restaurants and opportunities to reprovision, not to mention great access to Acadia Park. The staff is very friendly and helpful and access to a loaner vehicle is welcome.

Great team and support at this marina

Absolutely part of what I call the top 10%! Got in the marina, was directed to where I needed to go (fuel dock) and then shown where I will be staying at the dock! By the time I got there, I had the dock master himself assisting me to tie up the sailboat. The facility is very clean, well organized and situated near everything you may need! Just a super friendly place!

Great marina, great staff. Courtesy car was a welcome surprise as we used it to go off site to dinner. Marina is in a well protected area. A great stop overnight.

Super helpful and Friendly Staff.

The location and the personnel were very good. The concrete docks are old but satisfactory. We, and others on the dock, experienced problems with the electricity having lost it a few times during the night. There are more electrical wires, laying around the docks that I am accustomed to seeing. A number of the connections between the docks are significant trip hazards.

Our first visit to Dysart's - very friendly location and we will return!

Great service! Friendly staff and helpful!

This is a busy marina with very congested docking. The restrooms and showers are a long walk away but they are clean and very adequate, nothing fancy. We have stayed there in the past, and will probably stay there again if we ever get back to the area.

Not great. Not sure if we will recommend.

Staying an extra night. Great dock staff and very accommodating. Upgraded since we were last here (in 2023) with new power pedestals and ramp to land.
