Excellent! We are so happy we found Pope's Island Marina. Looking forward to a comfortable winter on the dock! Thanks so much

They charge for 50 amp service, even though they know I can only use 30 amps. Also the main float on C dock is tilting, and the cement is crumbling. It is an embarrassment to me when I bring guests, and I wonder just how long it will hold together.

This is my home marina for the sailing season. Great facility, helpful dock staff, easy access to local restaurants. Launch service and free pump out service. Floating finger piers, showers, laundry and dock side picnic tables and grills.

Really good service, nice dock staff and love the location. Only thing I would add is a nighttime emergency contact in case the shore power goes down or there is some other type of emergency

Excellent! Easy in to mooring field. Beautiful protection. Very friendly & helpful folks at marina. Plenty of hot water in shower. Laundry available. Bill on the launch was extraordinary, went above & beyond to ensure we had what we needed. Reasonable price for the mooring.

We were there late season on a boat delivery north. The launch service to New Bedford was done for the season so this time we docked. The sole employee on was super helpful, answered the radio, came out to catch lines and even had a free loaner adaptor cord to run our 30 amp boat from their 50 amp pedestals. The facility was top notch, clean showers and laundry area. They even had barbecues still out and a table under a tent had it been raining. They had chairs set up around the securely fenced grounds and it seemed like a pleasant place to relax. Top notch location, Dunkin and one bar/restaurant across the street, 15 minute walk over the Rt 6 bridge to all the New Bedford businesses and restaurants. Fairhaven West marine pretty close too. And of course, the most protected harbor on the whole SE MA coast!

all good for this time of year, early Oct. Mooring field is a little tight for my '49er

There is no better operation on the entire east coast of the United States. From the total protection, to the friendly staff, to the exemplary launch service.
