Great launch service and dock store. Great location in Casco Bay. The dockside restaurant is also great.

What a great place to stay! Nice, clean showers, laundry facilities. The launch service was great. The Dockside Grill is a good restaurant as well.

If I could have given 6 stars I would have! This is a great mooring experience. The tie up is secure, the marina visually checks on the moorings each day, the space between boats is good. There is a bit of rolling from passing power boats, but the location is pretty well protected from weather. The marina provides a launch on demand and it is timely and the drivers are friendly, share local information, and make an effort to get to know you. The showers and restrooms are clean and laundry is reasonably priced. There is a restaurant on premise and it is great food and drinks. There is a local transit for a couple of dollars each way to get to dining, movie theater, grocery store, and many other offerings including connection to a larger bus into Portland airport. All around a great stay and we will definitely recommend to others.

Great service and convenience. A good solid mooring with plenty of swing room and I was able to go into the fuel dock to bring some family and friends on board. Will be using this service again soon

Huge mooring field. Launch boats available for getting to/from shore. Staff is super friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. Dockside Grill is the onsite restaurant. If you want a table, best to make a reservation - or the bar is 1st come, 1st served. Not much right in the area, but an easy UBER ride to Portland.

Balls are well spaced and appeared well maintained. The no wake zone is neither observed or enforced and the mooring field can be quite rolly during the day. Calm at night.

Terrific mooring field and services. Multiple launch boats so getting to/from shore is easy. Super helpful staff. Dockside Grill is onsite and good but book *early* and/or way ahead of when you want to eat as reservations fill up fast!

I have been going to Handy Boat for years. They are a 5 star marina. Everything the do is high class and professional.
Each time I rent a transient mooring i find they upgraded something. This year they added a dinghy dock. Huge improvement. Made getting fuel and shower much easier and safer.
Unbelievable. Can’t say enough good things.

The dock stall was very helpful. The mooring was comfortable. We enjoyed a nice dinner at Dockside Marina.

We unexpectedly needed a mooring due to weather. Even though they were pretty full they managed to get us a spot. Everyone we encountered over our 2 nights here was fantastic.Facilities are great. Beautiful spot!

The numbering and locations on the 50 transient floats is very confusing, and we were told to pick up one which was occupied already, so I grabbed the open one next to it. But the overall visit IS always good, we just wish they still had a chandlery, there are no easy-access marine supply stores in Casco anymore.

The staff were all outstanding! We needed rigging service, and Heidi made sure we could get that done on short notice. Many thanks!! The launch operators were all outstanding in every way, as were the dock assistants. We truly felt a warm welcome in every way. We will always highly recommend Handy Boat!
