What better way to visit Marblehead than by boat!. The HarborMaster has a simple and easy way to mark your intended tie up, no fuss, easy in easy out. Dockwa is really helping marinas by making very efficient use of available slots. The perfect partnership with boaters getting the benefit.

Thank you, we always love having you!by Fred R. - Verified user on Aug 06, 2024
Easy access docks and well marked. Our only issue was that we reserved for two hours from 6pm-8pm. As boating goes, we arrived around 6:25pm. I asked if we could get two hours from arrival time? The response was "you reserved from 6pm-8pm, would you like a third hour?" Not very accommodating in my estimation.
Marina Response:
Apologies for the misunderstanding. The question was meant for clarification as we are not always on the dock when you arrive and need to have a good understanding of what you are asking for.by Alexander S. - Verified user on Aug 06, 2024
Central location, mooring in great condition

Thank you! we hope to see you son!by Bill W. on Aug 05, 2024
As a first-time user of the DockWA my wife and in-laws decided to visit the Marblehead harbor and have lunch at The Landing.
A big shout out goes to Terri Tauro, Department Administrator Marblehead Harbormaster. Terri was extremely helpful as I had a number of questions.
I found the harbor access clearly marked and the docks themselves are very well maintained and provide clear visibility from the water on approach so you can easily find your dock assignment.
All in all, Marblehead Harbormaster and team provide a five-star rating.

Really amazing customer service from the harbormaster and crew. The “outer harbor moorings” are seriously out there … like on the edge of the Atlantic… but if you need to be in Marblehead, don’t hesitate and you will be very well taken care of!
Marina Response:
Thank you, we are fully aware of the conditions in the outer harbor and do everything possible to give a warning including individual messaging prior to confirmation of the reservation. I am happy you were still able to enjoy your stay with us. We are constantly working to open up more protected areas for our guests with large vessels. thank you for your nice review.by Daniel M. - Verified user on Jul 28, 2024
Great Harbor, staff was fantastic.

Although no wind the mouth of the harbor mooring was very bouncy as they advertised.
Marina Response:
We do everything in our power to warn you about the outer harbor moorings including posting on the website and contacting you individually through Dockwa messaging before confirming the reservation. Unfortunately, we are a busy, crowded, working harbor without many available large moorings inner harbor. We do have one inner harbor mooring for up to 50' that must be requested via "special request" which is posted on our page. Please do not judge us by the outer harbor moorings. We give a clear warning and a choice to cancel without fees within 24 hours of your reservation if your vessel is too big for the inner harbor.by Kenneth L. - Verified user on Jul 25, 2024
Moorings are close to town dock and facilities are very nice and right in town. Best to use a dinghy as launch service is expensive

We had a great experience for our first time visiting Marblehead. Reservation on Dockwa was straightforward, communication with the Harbormaster was prompt, and they were waiting at the dock upon our arrival to help us dock. A+

Thank you for your great review! we hope to see you again soon!by Thomas W. - Verified user on Jul 19, 2024
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.

Thank you, we always look forward to your visits...see you soon!
