Excellent staff and great services!!!

Very friendly, Marina staff, and decent facilities. I felt the service department was wildly overpriced. They charge $35 per foot for a short haul. This is more than double than anywhere else I’ve ever been on the East Coast, including a marina right across the river. When I inquired why the cost was so high, they explained that’s what they charge. I told them that we were going to go across the river and they didn’t care. It’s their business, and they can charge what they like, but I felt like they gave up business and a future customer.

Our stay was satisfactory . A little iffy at low tide getting stuck in mud. Very helpful pulling us off.

South Port Marine is a very easily accessible and well-protected marina. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. There are also a number of restaurants and two major grocery stores within walking distance. It is also a short ride (or a longish walk) to the Portland waterfront for a variety of restaurants and shops.

All of the marina facilities are neat and very clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. It has a wee stocked ships store and parts department. Also, drinks, ice cream and snacks are offered for sale. There is an excellent Mexican restaurant just a couple of blocks away, and there is a brewery immediately across the street from the marina, a Hannafords market is about 0.3 miles away. The location is preferable to staying in Portland, and it is a short ride from downtown Portland. We stayed here five years ago, and returned to find it is still a great place to stay.

We appreciate the Marina accommodating us when we had to leave early due to our concern about the weather. This is a narrow channel to the marina so pay attention to the markers and watch the tide. Thank you for your hospitality.

Overall it is a nice marina but we had a negative experience. First, we were on the T head and rolled more than I expected. Second, when I asked about shore power I was pointed to the closest pedestal by Mandy the dock manager. I went to hook up and both 50amps were occupied by a big Hatteras. Mandy had left so I notified the office and they said they would let Mandy know. Nothing happened so I found another pedestal I could reach by moving my boat back on the dock myself. Before arriving I had a small package of generator parts mailed to the Marina and I forgot to call them to look for it. When Mandy was helping us dock, before I even asked about the package, she let us know that we should have called about it. I sincerely apologized and handed her a small tip. When I went to check in, Mandy handed me my package and charged me $10 for not calling. That’s just bad PR.

Great view of Portland from the water. Service staff friendly and welcoming.

We had a great stay at South Port Marine! The dockmaster Mandy and her team were very welcoming, the facilities were clean, and it was easy to get in and out of - both for launching our boat and heading out to sail. The location is great too, with plenty of good food and provisioning options within walking distance, and a small park nearby that’s perfect for letting dogs (and kids) stretch their legs. We will definitely return!

It’s a great place to tuck in, pay attention to depth going in. We have a 6.5 draft & we got in😊

Happy you enjoyed your stay with us! Hope you think of us for future reservations!

Beware strict cancellation policy Stayed twice in September. Pros: Very nice people. Well stocked parts department. Nice protected docks without the constant roll across the harbor at DiMillo’s. Couple of good clean showers and laundry. Easy walk to two grocery stores and two auto parts stores. Easy rideshare over to Portland’s infinite restaurants. Take the fire truck tour to get overview of the city. Cons: Like most places these days staff is short so we came in twice without dockhand assistance (not a huge deal though). They told us both times to bow in but our power is on the stern so we requested and were okayed to change (don’t be afraid to ask for what you need). The biggest issue, a strict cancellation policy. I’m a fan of Dockwa. Seems to work quite well and so far as we have traveled 2,000 miles marinas have been flexible with changing plans. Not so South Port. I made a reservation on 9/11 for two nights starting 9/17. I then requested cancelation 17 hours later. I was offered a credit to use the nights another time with a one-year limit. I will be looking at those cancellation policies much closer going forward.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Gas grill and picnic tables by the Marina office in a nice shaded area is perfect for an evening BBQ.

Shhh! Can you keep this Marina a secret. Tucked away in a corner of South Portland this is a gem. Okay it’s s little shallow at low tide but we made it in with 4.5 foot draft. And yes, some of the docks are showing their age but they go out of there way to accommodate you. Easy walk to the market and to the other side of the harbor. Sea you soon!

Friendly and helpful staff. Well kept facilities and protected from the river traffic. Dowtown Portland is only a walk over the Casco Bay Bridge.

We love South Port Marine! The facilities and the staff are amazing. This was not our first stay at South Port but each time we’ve been impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities and the friendly professionalism of the staff. On the last day of our stay our boat ending up sinking at the dock when we were away overnight and we will never forget the way our little crisis was handled by the staff at South Port. A tragedy for us but overall a great experience and we will be back!

I called SouthPort late on a Saturday afternoon in April to book a transient slip at the last minute, and the girl that answered the phone was phenomenal. Told me to book it on DockWa, called me back with the slip assignment and left a packet of info for us, and the facilities were great. Amazing customer service!
