Good location, moorings held well in 35+ mph gusts during rain storm. Ecxcellent on site restaurant.

We had a great experience at Carousel Marina. Excellent floating docks, beautiful view of the harbor and a great restaurant on site. Dockhands were experienced and very friendly. We highly recommend.

We had a good 4 day stay on the mooring with our 44’ power boat. The facilities are nice and clean, the dinghy dock always had space and the people working there are very nice and helpful. Everything we needed, including a small store and restaurant . Highly recommend.

Eva, Jax, Patrick and all the staff at Carousel are unfailingly courteous, helpful, and professional. Clearly, they understand how to handle boats of all sizes and configurations in all sorts of weather. The facility is clean and Whales Tale is a culinary gem. We always make Carousel the keystone of our Maine cruises.

After waiting 15 min for an Uber that never showed up and calling 3 taxi companies with no luck, the owner provided my wife a ride to the Hannaford grocery store. Above and beyond the call. The moorings are well spaced. For those reasons, I’d give Carousel 5 stars. Unfortunately, the mooring field is in a very busy section of the harbour. We were continually being passed within 50-100’ by large tour boats, fishing boats, lobster boats other pleasure boats. That eventually stopped late at night but then started back up shortly after 4am. For that reason, I’d give the mooring field 1 star. Average it out and I’d call it 3-stars.

Great Restaurant and well stock marina.

The management at this marina is very friendly and super accommodating. We extended our stay here twice, once because we loved it and another day for weather. It has a nice bar and restaurant, clean and plentiful showers, laundry, fuel and an easily accessed fuel dock. It even has a chandlery of small marine equipment. Carousel funded a spectacular drone show during our stay. It is a very tight mooring field but no issues in a 45’ in 25-35kts.

Carousel Marina was wonderful. Their moorings & staff are first class, although we did not utilize their facilities a this visit in the past they have been top notch. We’ll be back next year.

Excellent marina and friendly staff! We really appreciated the clean showers, to store, and had a great dinner. Stayed twice on a ball during the 2025 season and will certainly return.

Docks were fine. Showers had paper towels and well-used bath tugs and old shower curtains. Not a very friendly vibe at all except for young dock hand at gas dock when leaving very friendly. Restaurant onsite convenient and ok food. Just ok experience overall.
