I love staying at Handy's! I have been on one of their moorings for almost 20 years now in June and then in September and October. Great folks, great moorings, wonderful service!

This was an unexpected anddelightful pleasure! A beautiful mooring setting, full on launch service with very friendly folks with local knowledge, showers et al, and a top star restaurant right there! We'll definitely come back for another visit!
Many thanks for the hospitality!

It was a mostly great experience other than the laundry which was a key reason we stayed. One washer was marked "out of order". The other was also having problems. It didn't fill with enough water and didn't fully desolve our soap.

This is a great place to stay. The launch service is great, the Dockside Restaurant is the best, and the staff is all helpful and friendly.

We have enjoyed staying at Handy Boat on and off over the last 6 or so years as we take trips North from the Merrimack River (MA) every other year. This year has been wonderful once again with great protected mooring access, friendly service, and clean facilities as well as a great restaurant which we have visited a number of times already. Five stars for Handy Boat !!!!!

May take some work to find your mooring. Once settled, nice harbor and launch attendants were superb

We always enjoy our stay. It was nice to have Handy Boat and Portland Yacht Club coordinate the launch service from our Handy Boat mooring to the dinner at the Portland Yacht Club for our group. Thanks.

Such a nice place to stay. The staff was helpful and cheerful. What a simple thing it is for a marina staff to make their guest feel genuinely welcome. Boy, it is not as common as one might think. A huge kudos to Handy Boat!

Launch drivers Greg and Paul were exceptional in their assistance and kindness in returning my children to the vessel after hours. Many thanks for their help.

Great dock crew! Right there to help unload, dock and arrange for a mooring.
by Robert M. - Verified user on Oct 05, 2023
Exceptional. They put me on dock since the close moorings were taken and I had a dinner off the boat with friends.

The staff and service could not have been better. Extremely nice people. Had some mechanical work done due to engine problem. Andy, the mechanic, replaced a bad starter that was in an impossible place to service. In the past it took two mechanics a few hours. Andy was on top of it and completed the work in less time than in the past by some very good mechanics. Overall, a great experience and couldn’t be any happier with their service and attention.

A lovely spot on Casco Bay. Very prompt launch service to get you to and from your mooring. Great and convenient stop-over location.
by Tim S. - Verified user on Aug 24, 2023
Superb!!! A lovely facility, everything needed is provided there. Launch service to bring you to and from moorings was top notch, the yard services are very comprehensive and efficient. Hats off to staff and management for a great stay, both on the hard and once launched.
