Great trip, friendly and helpful staff, never worried about the boat as we toured the town and went to the nearby beach. Always a pleasure to dock and Manchester-by-the-Sea

Perfect docking and great guys at the pier to assist. I wish you would add a place to tip them. We didn’t have cash.

Friendly, helpful staff on dock.
Location is great for access to downtown.
Vehicle parking is very, very limited. Also I feel like it's a bit too expensive.

Very simple and easy way to dock and enjoy a few hours in Manchester. The dock person did a nice job making it work for several boaters wanting to tie up, including me.

Super nice staff. No power or water on the docks though. Right in the heart of town.

Great sailing destination but wish you could make a reservation in advance

This is a perfect dock. The staff are great and the location is awesome. If they had power hookups they could charge a fortune.

The people at the Town Dock are GREAT. The downtown is right there and the singing beach is a short walk away.
Always a good time

About Town of Manchester-by-the-Sea
Manchester-by-the-Sea is one of Massachusetts’s hidden treasures. The town’s new transient docks offer visiting boaters direct access to the center of this quaint New England town. Right from the docks you can walk to a variety of restaurants, shops, parks and beaches.
Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants Manchester has to offer, or if you’re looking for a relaxing day on the beach, Singing Beach, is walking distance from the docks. The walk is shaded and you can pick up an ice cream cone or a cup of coffee on the way.
Manchester-by-the-Sea is a beautiful harbor and we look forward to sharing its beauty and character with you.
