Awesome stay in Camden to start the season. Nancy and Charlie and the entire staff were great, and we absolutely loved spending a few nights in their shoreside “crew quarters” guest rooms - amazing location and brand new facilities, really top notch! Can’t get much better for an early-season cruise, we’ll definitely be back!

My experience at Lyman-Morse was nothing short of spectacular. The entire team of dockside staff went above and beyond to accommodate me, look out for me, and make my stay wonderful. This team embodies the reason sailing on the Coast of Maine is so special.

Top notch facility and friendly, professional staff.

The staff at Lyman Morse in Camden are great and the facilities are first class. Unfortunately, unless you’re in the inner harbor, the roll is terribly uncomfortable. And $7 per foot for a dock space is ridiculous.
by Laura S. - Verified user on Aug 22, 2022
Lyman-Morse is a wonderful marina! We stayed on a ball for three nights. The facilities (bathrooms, showers, laundry) are some of the nicest I've seen in a marina. They have a large dinghy dock, so we never had trouble tying up our dinghy to go into town.

New facility is nice - we visit annually
by Eugene A. - Verified user on Aug 19, 2022
The courtesy and friendliness of staff at this marina is very special. Camden is a great place to visit, only enhanced by this wonderful marina. You won’t be disappointed!
Came back for another stay and Cynthia and her crew were absolutely fabulous, nothing was a bother and the facilities leave no room for improvement.
Another wonderful stay, all because of extremely friendly and professional staff.

Very nice facilities and very nice staff in the dock house and on the docks.

Beautiful harbor, close proximity to shops, new first-rate facilities, and helpful, friendly staff. Only (minor) gripe: using their machines to do laundry is expensive and I wish they’d at least make it easier by switching to the ShinePay app.

Five Stars every year and it keeps getting better. The renovations look great and the restaurants are excellent. Best thing though are the people that work there.

LM staff are very good, we mechanical problems coming in and they responded with a protection launch.
Facilities will be great once they are open but look great. The outer harbor moorings are a little rolly due to ocean exposure.
Boat is always sideways to the ocean swell.
Suggest inner moorings
Overall a good stay beautiful harbor
We will be back

Great service, friendly people from the launch staff to your dock staff. A special thank you to Tasha for helping to locate a part. Good luck on the moving.

Beautiful facility being built in an idyllic harbor. Very friendly staff- we’d definitely return!
by Chris J. - Verified user on Jul 21, 2022
Wonderful location, very courteous staff. Charlie, Nancy, Celia, and all the others offer a warm welcome. Beautiful new building with laundry and modern shower facilities. However… if you plan on friends visiting, parking (even WAY out back in a dirt lot) is a whopping $25 per DAY! After staying here for most of July we took a friend cruising for four days and got that $100 extra fee as a “thank you”.
by Rob B. - Verified user on Jul 16, 2022
Great service. Thank you!
by Pete W. - Verified user on Jul 13, 2022
The new facilities are wonderful. The dock master, Nancy, and the rest of the crew were very helpful and welcoming for our visit.
by Vernon S. - Verified user on Jul 13, 2022
The amenities at this marina are head and shoulders above anything previously encountered on the East Coast. Sets a new standard for marinas which hopefully will be followed by others. Bathrooms and showers at a level one would expect at a four or five star hotel.
by Warren O. - Verified user on Jul 11, 2022
Incredibly accommodating with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their new facility is gorgeous and Camden is a beautiful town with lots to do.
by Natalia M. - Verified user on Jul 09, 2022
So far the best marina we were in. Super friendly staff, well informed, and very helpful. The marina has some remodel going on. But the bathroom and the facilities are state of the art. In center of Camden. Easy access to town and well protected . We stayed on floating docs, very convenient and good for sleeping ;definitely on the list to revisit
by Arnold Z. - Verified user on Jul 01, 2022
Staff is wonderful, as always. New buildings are almost complete - new restrooms are open and luxurious, with new washers and driers.

Fast response to reservation request and great communication throughout our stay. Launch service and courtesy car are included with your mooring ball fee. I will stay with them anytime I am in Camden.
by Robert P. - Verified user on Sep 05, 2021
We stayed at Lyman-Morse 3 nights on a recent trip to Maine. (two nights on our first leg, and one night on our return). Charlie and the whole crew were so responsive and helpful and we had three comfortable nights in beautiful Camden. Despite the construction, they had everything we needed. It will be even better when the new facilities are ready. Thank you Lyman-Morse!!!

Camden is a cute little town. Lyman Morse is a nice stop over even though they are running with portable facilities until their renovations are complete. Nice to have the launch service to get you into the marina or town. Showers in the portable facilities are clean and adequate. Will look forward to returning next year.

Very friendly staff - marina facilities are currently rebuilt - but prime dock space, friendly staff and temporary bathroom/shower facilities worked well - always a highlight on our annual summer cruise.

The nicest crew of any marina we have stayed in, even while being among the busiest! They are staffed up, flexible, and accommodating. Even when just renting a mooring. Can’t wait to go back.

From Dockmasters Nancy Rowe and Charlie Foote, Cecilia driving the launch, Harbormasters Steve and Sarah, and a variety of deckhands, our stay was lights out. Everyone was thoughtful, friendly, and kind. Honestly can’t wait to go back.

Thank you Nancy for directing us to our inner harbor float during late afternoon traffic. Facilities are great even with ongoing construction.

Great location great staff
by Greg M. - Verified user on Sep 14, 2020
Great location on the inner harbor floats. One night was a little rolly due to the direction of the swell outside the harbor, but the other 2 nights were calm. Be prepared to hear the 8 AM cannon fire from the yacht club close by if you are a late sleeper. Camden is a special town. Wonderful restaurants, shops and people.
by Cheryl H. - Verified user on Sep 03, 2020
Great marina - the staff were extremely helpful and met all of our needs. We went to the fuel dock before going to our mooring ball - got fuel, pumped out, and filled water tanks - all with help from a very friendly staff person. The use of the courtesy car was great - for provisioning and an errand to Hamilton Marine. The LM Ships Store was also helpful with a request we had. The launch service was great. Per previous reports, the recent fire caused them to not have shower facilities or laundry - but that was okay. Camden was a terrific place to explore. We need up staying another night. Also as previously reported, the mooring field / harbor was a bit rolly, but that is a nor something the marina can control. We will definitely come back here.

Everyone was very friendly and professional.
by Barry D. - Verified user on Aug 18, 2020
Very friendly and helpful staff. We were on a mooring and used our own dinghy but stopped for fuel, pump out, water and ice. Two dockhands plus other friendly folks about. Very good about masks. Professional.
by Natalie W. - Verified user on Aug 18, 2020
Amazing mooring lines that were long and thick. Made us feel very comfortable on the mooring even though we are a 150,000 lb boat. We were able to attach the mooring line right to our cleat instead of needing to attach another line to lengthen it. Dinghy dock close by, although it always was very full we were able to get a spot. Easy trash and cardboard recycling. We had mail sent to them and easily picked it up even on a weekend. Very close to town, maybe a 5 minute walk and close to mount Battie for some hiking.
by Ken C. - Verified user on Aug 16, 2020
Loud construction for 2 whole days right next to the boat. A fire 2 months ago shut down the Captains lounge, laundry, nearby rest rooms, nearby showers, ships store, restaurant. All things considered don’t feel it was worth the price.
Marina Response:
Needless to say, between Covid-19 restrictions and the effects of the recent fire, it has been a challenging year for our marina. We hope that you will give us another try in the future!by Todd H. - Verified user on Aug 01, 2020
Everyone we met went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay. Great place and wonderful people.

Bad experience. Coming into harbor guy on channel 71 could not verbalize where our mooring bouy was located?? When we went to the marina office found out oh by the way we had a fire 2 weeks ago that destroyed our bathrooms, showers and laundry but you are welcome to our 2 portapoties! Walked to town = a mlle for dinner and called for water taxi back to their marina. No reply so walked to marina and took our dinghy back to the boat. Got a call back just as we boarded with excuses blaming us for not calling on channel 71. I don’t know about you but I do not take my VHF radio to shore or dinner. Avoid if you want descent service and honesty about their Services. Also put us at far end of mooring field with bad swells all night when they had lots of mooring space closer in where it was much quieter. They really didn’t give a damn if you were comfortable or had a good stay just whined about how bad this summer was with the fire and the virus. Worst hospitality on the ME coast so far!!

The doc staff was awesome, the availability of a loaner car for driving to the grocery for reprovisioning was exemplary. However, unfortunately there was a fire at the dockside restaurant and bar three weeks ago and the restaurant and bar will be closed for the rest of the season. Currently there are no onshore showers, restrooms, or laundry available
by Jim M. - Verified user on Jun 30, 2020
They went above and beyond to service my boat (VERY competent staff) and make my stay spectacular (including a loaner car for provisioning.) This is a great marina..
by David L. - Verified user on Jun 28, 2020
The Lyman-Morse folks did what they needed to and were cordial. No complaints. The harbor was rolly but that’s not their fault.
by Donald R. - Verified user on Sep 11, 2019
I always feel like the marina itself and the destination should have two separate ratings. In this case they’d both be 5 stars.
Lyman-Morse provides a great place to stay in Camden. The inner harbor floats put you right in the middle of all the schooner activity as well as being close to downtown. The free launch service is great, though it stopped running at 3:30 PM after Labor Day. The heads showers and laundry room ashore are immaculate. The courtesy car made a trip to Hannaford’s for groceries very easy.
Camden itself is a wonderful place to visit - in fact we extended our stay to enjoy more of it. There are lots of good restaurants (Marriner’s serves a great breakfast). The library is out of this world in terms of atmosphere and architecture - including the park and amphitheater giving great views of the harbor. We enjoyed the free walking tour on Friday afternoon.
We also hiked/climbed to the summit of Mount Battie which provided unexcelled views of Penobscot Bay and the islands.
We love Camden and will be back for another extended stay next year.

We were on a mooring yet we were treated just as well as if we were spending much more money on a dock. They have a really nice gathering area with great patio furniture, outdoor fireplaces and a great view. The lounge area and restrooms were superb and they even supply you with great smelling shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The water was hot and the water pressure was terrific. We got to use a courtesy vehicle to stock up on groceries at the nearby Hannafords and everyone was professional, kind, and friendly. And Camden is awesome!

One of the most beautiful harbors in Maine. The staff here is right on top of things, very professional and helpful in anyway they can be. I can't recommend them high enough.

Great location and great service by the marina staff. Charlie was of great help and always willing to assist with a smile. Highly recommended.
by Ian M. - Verified user on Jun 28, 2019
Great showers and facilities. Friendly and helpful dock hands and staff. Short walk to town on the other side of the harbor or the launch will take you over. We were on the dock face float, day-trip schooners and plenty of other boats passing by regularly keeps it interesting but don't expect privacy. It's a working boat yard too, so if you're expecting to sleep in, you might be woken by the travel lift starting up. Didn't worry us, we enjoyed watching the activities when we were on board. Very sheltered and quiet, in the inner harbor so makes for a good night's sleep.
