Our stay was ok but there was no one to communicate with regarding mooring assignment or depth info. We tried calling ahead of time and we were on the radio too but received no response. We grabbed a mooring and had a pleasant night and the depth was fine for us, so all was well.

It was fine. Onset is such a beautiful place! The price is a bit steep for a place with no showers available.

We were met by the staff as we arrived and he was very friendly and helpful. At this time of year, there was no staff available for the launch but we were greeted at the dinghy dock by the same person who made space for us to tie up. Our mooring was solid and they were nicely spaced even though there were several large boats.

Scenic, charming small village welcomes a few boaters on moorings and a few at the dock. Canal location of this gem is easily overlooked by boaters in transit. Care is needed when entering the narrow channel when strong canal currents are present. Laundry services and a few restaurants are available nearby and overnight parking is easy but daytime use will require feeding the meter. Enjoyed our stay for 3 nights while waiting out stormy weather. A big part of the town's appeal is its working class character, so if nothing but the Hamptons will do, you might want to look elsewhere....

Stay was great. Launch was down but they let us stay at the dock for a while so we could go on shore and have dinner. We love onset!!!

Good price for New England mooring. Unfortunately the launch was unavailable, but a great little town

No launch service, no facilities (shower,washrooms), dinghy dock so crowded husband hurt himself getting out of our dinghy. Increased prices but not services.

Mooring was fine. Pendant easy to get with pickup bouy. Cute town. Ace hardware, good pizza at Marc Anthonys, 2 ice cream shops and a post office and liquor store. Couple other restaurants in town that we did not try, but look nice. Big popular beach also!

Excellent protected windy night tucked on a ball behind Wicket Island. Free launch service. Moorings get a bit tight for over 45 - 50’ except for 6 and 10. Just ask harbormaster on 9

Great crew. Very accommodating. Beautiful town.
by Grace A. - Verified user on Aug 07, 2023
Great place to stay! Protected, close to town. We will be back! Also we had asked to have a morning close to the island and they got back to us right away advising of the mooring and it was close to Island!

They were short handed for launch drivers. Had to curtail activities ashore otherwise all was fine. Helpful in directions to mooring.

Fantastic location, responsive & helpful Harbormaster and the guys running the launch service were super friendly and informative. Was just swinging thru on our way to Maine. So glad we found this little gem, Onset Village!
