The outer harbor is not the best for good night sleep, but otherwise a great experience

Great spot - the team here was wonderful and made a great effort to help us locate everything we needed - and they had treats for our dogs!!!

We love the town dock in Marblehead. It is central to town and restaurants. There is also a wonderful store, Crosby’s, in easy walking distance. The personnel from the Harbormaster’s team are competent and really helpful, and couldn’t be nicer. And you can see all parts of one of the most wonderful protected harbors in the world. We try to always stop on our way north and south on our way to Maine.

Excellent mooring a stone's throw from the dinghy dock at harbor master / Tuckers Wharf. Great first time visit to Marblehead!

Great communication, thank you

The whole process was very smooth and easy. The docks at the Marblehead Harbormaster are well laid out and well marked. There is usually a cheerful helping hand to assist with your tie-up. The showers and washer facilities are clean and well maintained. Best of all, you're within easy walking distance of great dining options and historic old town Marblehead. What's not to love!

Loved Morblehead! The mooring was easy to find and in a great location. Lots of things are walkable from the Harbormasters location. Recomend The Landing for lunch or dinner (try to reserve ahead if you can) Facilities were simple but adequate. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Our stay could not have been better. Everyone in Harbormaster office friendly, helpful & professional. We loved our location on dock 3 right by laundry, showers & coffee machine. All helped by fabulous weather & ahead of “the season/ crowds”. Thank you.

Always a pleasure visiting Marblehead! Harbormaster is quick to respond to mooring questions and launch service staff is phenomenal.
Marina Response:
thank you so much for the kind words. We always enjoy having you!

$8 for an hr and half to go eat lunch and patronize their businesses seems out of order. We won’t be back.
Marina Response:
Are you sure you are talking about our docks? We charge $12 per hour for docks and $8 per hour for moorings including launch service. It seems we gave you an unofficial off-season discount. Unfortunately, we have very limited space for transient visitors and we have done surveys in the area for pricing which keeps us in line with other small marinas. I will do additional research and see if we are out of order. Thank you for your feedback

Buoy was easy to find and pendant was in great condition and a very nice length to work with. The dinghy dock was so close it felt silly to run the motor to get there.

Marina Response:
WOW!! a PERFECT rating...thank you!

We had a great stay! Mid-September is off-season and we came mid-week. It was pleasantly quiet. The marina has a clean, modern facility with restrooms, laundry & kitchenette. We enjoyed walking the historic district and biking around Marblehead Neck. All very beautiful. Dinner at Maddie’s upstairs Sail loft is a must, as is breakfast at the Driftwood, both within easy walking distance. We will be back.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the kind words. We are very proud of our beautiful harbor and its rich history.
