The harbormaster was very accommodating when we needed to arrive earlier than check in time, assigning us a temporary buoy for a few hours at the last minute. The buoys were clean and well marked, essential in a crowded harbor. We highly recommend them.

Great moorings right in front of Tucker's Wharf. We are a 38' sailboat with 6'draft and the wind was perfect to sail right down the harbor. Plenty deep, launch ride to and from town dock quick and included in mooring fee. Great restaurants (The Landing was excellent) and great breakfast at the Driftwood. Lovely town.
Marina Response:
Our mooring fees do not include launch service. You may have lucked out unless you rented from another source in the harbor that includes launch fees? The only other entities that include launch fees are the Yacht clubs, and their moorings are not off Tucker's Wharf? I am perplexed...but thank you for the kind words in any case!by Robin R. on Jun 15, 2025
We tied up overnight at Tucker's Wharf and had a great time! Everyone was helpful and docking was easy. Food is close, tasty, and plentiful.

We stayed at the dock. It was very easy to get in and out of the dock positions.
While at the dock we had easy access to the restroom and showers.
From the dock it is a short walk to many restaurants and a grocery store.
The staff at t Marblehead Harbor Master was very friendly and helpful.
They also have several moorings very close to the dock if you have a dinghy.
The harbor is beautiful! I highly recommend it to all visiting sailors.

We also offer launch service through a private company that uses the public dock a stones throw away from our moorings "Jordan's Launch". Thank you for the kind words.by Gleb F. - Verified user on Jun 04, 2025

Thank you, we are very proud of our facility and beautiful town and harbor.by Dory T. - Verified user on Jun 04, 2025
My husband and I received a warm welcome back to Marblehead (our “home” although we are currently living aboard our sailboat full time). The Harbor Master, Mark, and his team were friendly and accommodating. Laundry facilities ashore. The location is perfect to enjoy walking through historic Old Town, browsing shops, dining, etc. We would highly recommend a stay in picturesque Marblehead harbor and look forward to our return!

When the breeze kicked up on launching day, I put a last-minute request in for dock space. The early morning request was immediately replied to and accommodations were made. Clean and friendly and right in the middle of town!

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.About Town of Marblehead Harbormaster
