Nice spot! Conveniently located to everything!

Great stop for lunch during a long sail. Mooring had pick up stick that made it super easy to moor the boat and was slime free! Dinghy dock can use a little more protection from aging wood...

Beautiful dock, nice location

My two month stay at the Bristol Maritime Center was undoubtedly one of the best experiences I've had in terms of service, convenience and staff friendliness. I came to recuperate from a broken leg and get my boat ready for sailing to the Caribbean. I cannot count the number of times the staff accommodated me. I would love to personally list every person who helped in so many different ways, but I just have to say that the Harbormaster, Greg, and office manager, Jennifer, run a first-rate operation. Bristol is a perfect location for a weekend getaway or in my case, a summer stay. It is a mini Newport with all of the services, restaurants and bars you would need.

Love being in Bristol. We were on TM-10 which wasn’t bad but a bit noisy. Still prefer TM-1. Other than that we had a wonderful time. We will be back.

They sent an email & text with mooring field map. That should be standard. I wish ALL marinas did this. Jennifer was very friendly. They were great.

Nice dock master and marina manager. Very good facility. We didn’t appreciate people fishing so close to our boat at all hours

We stayed Labor Day Weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday strong southerly wind, waves breaking over dock, spray on windshield! Can't blame the facility for the weather. Docks, personnel, heads and showers very nice. Biggest complaint was a fisherman screaming to his friend at 0630 Monday AM! We left early!

No solid direction to the intended slip. On the dock change of slip indirectly resulting in a collision with a docked boat, and slight damage. Ended up on a smaller slip than the boat. Older and wiser now, but we will likely continue to use Dockwa.

Easy to get in and out of a Staff very helpful

Unfortunately we were unwilling participants in a deafening wedding bash at a tent venue close by. Kept us up til 1 am. Other than that, it was great! The harbor master responded quickly when there was another boat on our mooring at 3 pm when we arrived. Bristol is a beautiful harbor with an excellent nearby coffee shop - empire tea and coffee…. Lemon poppy muffins !

Nice docks but with the wind out of the south it is difficult to tie up. I have used this dock twice and each time there was a strong southerly and docking was very hard. There isn’t much room between docks to rotate the boat to align it with the dock and compensate for the wind.

Great communication, Easy access and new well protected facility!

by David H. - Verified user on Sep 02, 2023

Nice quiet harbor this time of year.

by Barbara H. - Verified user on Sep 01, 2023
very expensive for services available

by Brian L. - Verified user on Aug 29, 2023
The facility was great , staff , showers etc were very nice. The local fisherman were on the dock fairly late and again at 0500 the next morning , quite loud , unaccustomed to folks sleeping aboard in the transient slips. I will NOT hurry back.
