About Chilmark Harbormaster (Menemsha Harbor)
Welcome to Menemsha Harbor. Our goal is to maintain an organized, safe, courteous and family oriented marina experience. Menemsha Harbor welcomes recreational boaters and commercial fishermen. The village's historic harbor serves as the point of departure for local fishermen, some from multi-generational fishing families. Besides charter fishing, other possibilities for recreation are the public beach adjacent to the harbor, the bicycle ferry across Menemsha Pond to the town of Aquinnah, and many excellent places to get freshly cooked seafood. It is also home of some of the most dramatic sunsets in New England.
Our harbor is currently dredged to 9 feet MLW. We have two transient moorings within the harbor which can be occupied by up to three (sometimes four) sailing vessels. In the outer harbor, just outside the breakwater, we have eight single occupancy mooring which can accommodate sailing or power vessels . If you are a sailing vessel requesting a mooring, we will assume that you want to be moored inside the harbor unless otherwise requested. If you are a power vessel requesting a mooring, the only option will be the outer harbor mooring field. We do not have a launch service, but offer free dinghy tie up at the town dock. If you do not have as tender, our staff will be more than happy to give you a ride to shore between the hours of 7am and 7pm if not busy attending to other responsibilities.
We have 17 transient wet slips, and a 120 foot linear transient dock on the east side of the harbor. On the west side of the harbor we have space for larger vessels, up to 85 feet in length. The inlet has a strong current and most of our slips are arranged for backing in between two free standing piles. Docking may be difficult for novice boaters, but our staff is always on hand to provide direction and assistance as necessary.
We look forward to seeing you in Menemsha!
