We arrived under tow - impeller issue. At 8 the next morning a tech was on board. He efficiently and professionally fixed the impeller and a couple of other problems. The staff is professional and the facility is impeccably clean and tidy. It’s a 10 out of 10.

Beautiful location. Marina Manager Kristin and staff are responsive, attentive and accommodating. The same goes for the service side. They do what they say, and follow up to ensure things were done correctly. The facility is clean, the docks are in excellent shape, and the staff terrific. Clearly a well run marina and service operation. Looking forward to returning.

Great; nice friendly folks.

This yard is an awesome yard and a great model for others to aspire to. From a very clean and organized facility to people who are friendly and happy at Great Island it certainly is refreshing to see. We enjoyed walking the docks, the laundry and the Iris Eats. The members of Great Harbor, the staff and technicians all present a very positive and friendly welcoming tone. Thank you! Barry and Suzanne

Thank you for sharing your experience. We expect Wi-Fi boosters to be installed on our new dock system in time for the 2024 boating season. Iris Eats is, indeed, closed on Mondays & Tuesdays. On Wednesday, Iris Eats is open 11:30 - 7:00 for lunch and dinner (and live music on the deck when weather permits). Thursday - Saturday, Iris Eats is open 8:00 -3:00 for breakfast and lunch. And on Sunday, Iris Eats is open 8:00 - 2:00 for breakfast/brunch and lunch. Be sure to check-in re: updates as these do change seasonally. Hope we will see you again!

Awesome beautiful spot very helpful staff. Great facilities

by Lisa - Verified user on Aug 04, 2023
I was here on a club cruise. I was so impressed by the highest level of service we received. Young dock staff couldn’t be more helpful, friendly, and professional. Dennis, their small engine mechanic was brilliant in helping me solve dinghy outboard problem. Getting fuel and water was easy. Showers clean. There is a small restaurant on the property called Iris Eats which is excellent. Highly recommend this marina.
Marina Response:
Wonderful. We are very proud of our young dock staff, and of Dennis, our master technician, too. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. See you again!

Just a beautiful place to spend a night. Or a season
Marina Response:
We think so; glad you agree!

by Michael M. - Verified user on Jul 29, 2023
This is a really squared away and very knowledgeable operation.
Marina Response:
Thank you!

by Kenneth P. - Verified user on Jul 27, 2023
Thanks to the crew for a very enjoyable stay in Harpswell. Your laundry was "exceptional", folks were very helpful in many ways, the docks are really clean, and your office is beautiful. And our emergency need for a Verizon store was met with a short taxi ride and a stop at Hannaford's for groceries. Highly recommend.
Marina Response:
Fantastic. Glad we could serve as a one-stop-shop port of call on your cruise. See you next visit.

Quiet location, thank goodness the cafe was open (until 3 pm) when we arrived. There is nothing else to walk to. Recent investment in the docks and amenities are beautiful.
Marina Response:
Glad you got to experience Iris Eats while visiting Safe Harbor Great Island. Iris East is currently open Wednesdays, 11:30 - 7, for burgers & bowls (as well as live music on the deck, weather permitting). On Thursday, Friday and Saturday you will find breakfast & lunch offerings from 8 - 3. And on Sunday, the Iris team serves from 8 - 2:00. Hope these hours will synch up with your next visit. Hope to see you again.

I have yet to find a more welcoming yard. Great people, great service, well maintained facility and nice protected safe harbor
Marina Response:
Thank you! We are happy you to hear that you feel the warmth, kindness, and skill of our team.

by Pamela H. - Verified user on Jun 22, 2023
We can understand why friends in Marblehead over-winter their boat here. Great facilities and the dock hands were wonderfully responsive in helping us to squeeze into the fuel dock. Well protected if the weather kicks up.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your observations. We look forward to your next visit.

Wonderfully accommodating for a last minute stop. Do not miss visiting Iris Eats when at Great Island!
Marina Response:
Thank you! Orrs Cove and Quahog Bay are among Maine's best kept secrets. So glad you visited us! Hope you'll come again.
