Overall great location, very safe and secure with locked gates and overnight security guard. Very close to all of the restaurants and shops, etc. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the bathrooms and showers could’ve definitely been cleaner. Other than that- great stay!

Docks are all floating with good fuel, water and power for larger boats. Services are very good and Eric the Dockmaster is extremely helpful and accomodating.
It should be noted, commercial and pleasure boats will run at speed through the harbor and significant wakes are a constant event. If you can get a berth inside the marina wave attenuating walls it is no issue. If you lie on the north side superyacht docks it can get quite turbulent the closer to the outside T dock. A north or northeast wind can also make these docks quite rough.
If you consider laying on the outside of the superyacht T dock then you might want to be above 1,000 GT otherwise it will be uncomfortable at best.
All in all, a great marina and location to downtown Portland and all its great restaurants and bars. A very good crew layover marina. We stayed an extra week because the crew was very happy at Fore Points. The boss also enjoyed the walking trails and down town.

We were supposed to get slip assignments before arrival, that didn't happen so we ended up having to move slips. It's surprising to me that a marina with this many slips only has three bathrooms available. Fore Points was less expensive back when it had an actual reception building. While the marina is convenient from sea, it's no longer the value it once was.
I will say that all of the staff were very friendly, professional, and skilled at their jobs, that part was excellent and keep up that good work.
Marina Response:
Hi Lance, thank you for leaving us a review and sharing your experience. We greatly appreciate your feedback. We apologize for the confusion on the slip assignment, this is something we always send to guests prior to arrival. We greatly appreciate you recognizing our staff, it is always our goal to do everything we can to make your visit the best that it can be. Thank you again for staying with us!

Dockhands were welcoming and helpful. Convenient marina for an overnight before heading to mid coast Maine.
Had a service provide a washdown so we didn't have to spend the time washing the boat-instead we enjoyed the city.
Marina Response:
Thank you Deborah!

Pros:
- Wonderful Docks, truly world class suitable for any size vessel.
- Proximity to downtown
- Security, docks are protected by locked security gates.
Cons:
- Exposed to constant harbor traffic since marina is outside of no wake zones. Docks are exposed and VERY rough. Even with SeaKeeper on, boat is constantly bobbing up and down. Some guests couldn't tolerate the motion and moved into hotel rooms... Wakes diminished to negligible after about 9pm.
- There are NO amenities; Think one step up from Porta-Johns. The area outside of docks is literally unfinished gravel!
I really wanted to like this marina, unfortunately, I can't imagine that we'll return.

Thank you John!

Great Marina. This is now my go to marina when in Portland. Docks are new, stable, spacious and CLEAN. Very close to the center of town shopping and restaurants (the walk is no more than 10 minutes) and they can even help you secure a Rez at some of the top restaurants. Thanks for another great stay. We will be back.
Marina Response:
Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved having you and wish you could have stayed longer to experience more of Portland, but that just means you will have to come back again soon! :)

An outstanding Marina with qualified staff. The floating docks are wide and in excellent shape. The location could not be better. Bike and walking path literally at the front door. Easy walk to a host of restaurants. A lovely city, and we look forward to returning.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Marina Response:
It was wonderful having you stay with us! Thank you for the nice remarks and we look forward to seeing you again!

First time we have stayed at Fore Points. The location is great, the facilities and the docks are amazing and the staff is friendly and helpful. The BIG downside for me is the are not flexible at all with dates. We were planning to stay for 5 days, but the wind kick up to 30mph, so we had to leave a day early. They were not accommodating AT All. I wasn't looking for a refund, I was looking to reschedule one day later in the season and they wouldn't budge. A real bummer, and possibly a deal breaker for future stays.
Marina Response:
Thank you Jessen for taking the time to write a review. I am sorry you cut your stay short and for your disappointment in the booking system; hopefully we'll be able to accommodate you in the future. Safe travels.

The marina is very neat tidy well run. Sone staff need a little more training but otherwise they are all good and helpful.
Marina Response:
Thank you Ryan for the remarks and for choosing Fore Points. Would love to follow up for some further feedback.

Great location, new docks, dock hands very friendly. Close to a small beach where they allow dogs prior to 9am and after 5pm, which made our pup happy. Easily walk into the Old Port and to all the wonderful restaurants that Portland has to offer. Be prepared for a VERY rocky stay from boat traffic. We had mechanical issues and dock master was nice to give us a name for a local mechanic. When it came time for departure and we were waiting on mechanic to finish fixing the boat, we asked for a few extra hours on the dock. Were told we could stay until 12pm (1 extra hour) and then needed to leave or pay for additional time on the dock. The other boat we were traveling with were told they needed to leave at 11. When we told staff we'd be happy to pay to ensure our boat was fixed and safe to navigate, Lauren could not tell us how much it would be and was clear she wanted us to depart. We would have happily moved to another slip or the outside dock to finish maintenance but were not afforded that opportunity. Any marina we have ever stayed at has always accommodated boaters with maintenance issues, mostly due to it not being safe to be underway with mechanical issues, so we were surprised to say the least. Marina has great potential, but customer service has growth opportunities.
Marina Response:
Lindsay, thank you for the feedback and I apologize for any confusion about departure with mechanical issues. I will reach out to discuss further if you do not mind. Thank you.

We were rather disappointed. We’ve never stayed here, and wanted to try as we have previously used another local marina, but we are Oceans Haven seasonals. Hailing upon arrival didn’t work well, and we felt we were annoying them more than a guest. Directions were not at all clear. Toledo go to H dock but no dock labeled H. Physical docks were nice. Wi-Fi simply didn’t work. I would describe this as a work in progress with grumpy manager. It’s a pass.
Marina Response:
Andrew, I am sorry to read of your disappointment; this is not the typical nature of our team. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

I was not told which slip was mine. I was not given a key or a code to get in and out of the date, a kind person let me borrow their key card. There was never any attendant on the premises during the 14 hours I stayed. The slips are new and wide and the location is great. There is absolutely no service.
Marina Response:
We are sorry to hear of your experience. We are always happy to make after hours accommodations for our guests in advance. Our general manager will contact you directly regarding future arrangements. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
