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.

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!

We had a west wind so with the long fetch us was a little choppy. I’m sure we could have moved to Spectacle because the Harbor staff are very accommodating.

Ball in good shape. Beach landing for dinghy. The Island itself is fantastic. It was our 3rd visit. We love it. Talk a tour of Fort Warren with a park ranger!

Excellent staff that is always helpful

There was a situation regarding mooring 11. As u are aware we rented the mooring. When we showed up somebody was on the mooring and wouldn’t move. There should be a way of patrolling who and who doesn’t belong on a mooring. Having said that I’m fully aware that is really hard to control, but in the end the pirates will win?

Beautiful spot. Out mooring was occupied when we arrived but a staff person on a boat directed us to take the adjacent one. Lots of roll from wakes.
