We stayed for an hour and had a nice dinner at Bravo in town. The marina has a new layout with lots of space. We will be back. The dock hands were great!

Great dock staff. Very attentive. Right in town. Adding more dock & services in 2027. Bathroom, recycling and trash will be very helpful in future.

We had to wait 10 minutes for a spot to open on the town dock, but the guys managing the dock were very helpful.

Manchester Harbor is not only lovely and convenient, but also very calm--no wakes from other boats. Easy walk to everything--grocery store, restaurants, etc. The staff is top notch, even though it is not a full-service marina. There is no electric, no laundry, no showers etc, but it is still one of our favorite docks in New England.

This is a perfect dock. The staff are great and the location is awesome. 5 min walk to beach, 1min walk for food and fuel.

Love the town, the Harbormaster was nice. The young man and woman who helped us with our lines were ok. The boy was quite nasty to the girl and I found that offensive. It’s a great spot in a terrific little town. Others should be aware that there are no showers and no electricity.
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.
