$8 for an hr and half to go eat lunch and patronize their businesses seems out of order. We won’t be back.

Are you sure you are talking about our docks? We charge $12 per hour for docks and $8 per hour for moorings including launch service. It seems we gave you an unofficial off-season discount. Unfortunately, we have very limited space for transient visitors and we have done surveys in the area for pricing which keeps us in line with other small marinas. I will do additional research and see if we are out of order. Thank you for your feedbackby Dan C. - Verified user on May 24, 2026

Buoy was easy to find and pendant was in great condition and a very nice length to work with. The dinghy dock was so close it felt silly to run the motor to get there.

WOW!! a PERFECT rating...thank you!by Deb S. - Verified user on Sep 18, 2025
We had a great stay! Mid-September is off-season and we came mid-week. It was pleasantly quiet. The marina has a clean, modern facility with restrooms, laundry & kitchenette. We enjoyed walking the historic district and biking around Marblehead Neck. All very beautiful. Dinner at Maddie’s upstairs Sail loft is a must, as is breakfast at the Driftwood, both within easy walking distance. We will be back.

We loved having you, thank you!by Anonymous on Sep 05, 2025
We were welcomed to the marina, not only by the harbor master but by some of the boaters, as well, who are members there. I love that you have a swim platform off the rocks. The town is so quaint and beautiful, with easy walking distance to all the history. It was our favorite stop of 10 that we did.

We stayed in Marblehead three separate times this summer and each time was great, with helping hands waiting at the dock to assist with lines, and solid access to town amenities.

thank you so much! we are very proud of our staff and facility. This harbor is a natural wonder that should be shared.by Laura L. - Verified user on Aug 18, 2025
Great moorings right in front of Tucker's Wharf. We are a 38' sailboat with 6'draft and the wind was perfect to sail right down the harbor. Plenty deep, launch ride to and from town dock quick and included in mooring fee. Lovely town. Easy walk to local grocery and shops, and the many restaurant options nearby. Clean heads with laundry and showers available. Thanks for a great stay, we love visiting your harbor!
