Great service, website is easy to use, and quick response. Unfortunately, I was unable to use it because of a breakdown. But I love the service. When word first got out about these moorings being established, I thought "sure just one more way to regulate open space. But I don't feel like that anymore. As long as I plan ahead I can get a spot that I know is secure and will keep my boat safe while I visit the islands. And the system and people monitoring it are highly responsive. Great job.

Nice mooring and close to the beach. Pennants are a little covered in growth but not anyone's fault there. Rockier than we expected from the channel nearby. Good place to pull in for the afternoon!

Too many waves from passing boats
by Ram M. - Verified user on Jul 27, 2024
Nice moorings convenient to the islands.
Restroom facilities are locked during the week.
The numbers on the mooring balls are hard to read from a distance.

Interesting location to
Explore if you are a history buff, fair amount of wakes from ferries and other boats. Short row from mooring to land on the beach

Received a confirmation within minutes. Cheerfully received a mooring ball number within an hour and then, later, was given a more protected ball for the overnight mooring. Airplanes landing overhead and a reasonable amount of boat wake going by, but very nice in the morning.

Great and historical place to visit. I do recommend water shoes for the very rocky beach.

Easy pick-up of mooring offshore the historic Fort Warren. Moorings are adjacent to the park's ferry terminal which has ferries going to and from during the day. Relatively exposed mooring field that has great Boston views, but has some boater traffic from early morning til late at night; Logan Airport flights are audible. However, very quiet and still once night sets in. Hull and Hingham nearby.

Perfect and Barry with the DCR was more than helpful

Love Dockwa…so friendly and accommodating!

What a wonderful place. The mooring ball was a short 30 second row to the beach. The island is wonderful and you can casually stroll around AND IN the old fort. Terrific displays and artifacts in the visitor center. Bring the kids.

Other vessel was on rented mooring when i arrived. Made the call to DCR and problem was resolved immediately.

Our stay was terrific. You folks do great work. We appreciate you!!!!!!

Great views and moorings are fairly well marked and in pretty good condition. With strong winds out of the SW fighting the tide it was pretty rough until the winds died down in the middle of the night. Paddocks would have been a better option in these conditions.

Someone was on the mooring I reserved. No one answered the phone or the radio and the ranger on Island when we told them we picked up a different mooring said they don’t care and why pay for a mooring just pick one up next time.

Fantastic view of the full moon coming up over George’s Island. An orange sunrise rose behind Boston light. Thanks for having us.

Our day mooring off of Gallops Islands made for a perfect afternoon as always!
