Soap in the heads would be greatly appreciated.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your feedback. Our restrooms and showers are cleaned at least once daily. Our portable restroom is cleaned weekly or as needed. It's likely with the influx of guests during the days of the yacht club cruise the supplies got used up faster than anticipated in whichever facility you were referencing in your review, we will promptly address both. We politely hope you will reconsider the 2 stars as all of our crew work hard and those who haven't stayed with us rely on reviews. Thank you, and we hope to welcome you back to the marina soon.

Great location and nice staff. Unfortunately, marina was overbooked and we were required to tie up to the fuel dock the first night. No shore power electtricity available. We were moved the second night to a better slip but alas, there the shore power did not work. We were required to use our generator for the whole 2 night stay. Have not seen a refund yet.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the kind words about our location and staff. We're sorry your stay was affected by the dock assignment and the shore power issues, we did try our very best to accommodate as many yacht club cruise member as possible. While we worked to move you to a slip as soon as one became available, we understand how frustrating it was to have to rely on your generator during your stay. We were unaware of the lack of power during your second night. All shore power has been refunded. We hope we'll have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience on a future visit.

We had a very enjoyable experience staying at Dysarts for 2 nights. Floating docks were quite protected and comfortable during nasty weather. We slept like babies. Micah and his team were very accommodating including the complimentary use of their PU truck. We highly recommend.

Great docks, nice people, wonderful scenery, close to town with good shops and restaurants. Been coming here for 20 years. Never disappoints!

Absolutely part of what I call the top 10%! Got in the marina, was directed to where I needed to go (fuel dock) and then shown where I will be staying at the dock! By the time I got there, I had the dock master himself assisting me to tie up the sailboat. The facility is very clean, well organized and situated near everything you may need! Just a super friendly place. On my second trip was equally impressed!

As always, Mica was perfect in helping whenever it was needed.

The only negative was something the marina doesn't control. On weekend evenings a nearby restaurant had unpleasant live outdoor music that was quite annoying at the marina.

Dysart's is a great stop in Southwest Harbor, Maine. There are some very good restaurants and opportunities to reprovision, not to mention great access to Acadia Park. The staff is very friendly and helpful and access to a loaner vehicle is welcome.
