We had an excellent experience at Maine yacht center, dockmaster Mark was extremely helpful, and supportive of us as newbies coming into a slip for the first time. We felt really welcomed and taken care of, and he and John anticipated questions we didn’t even know we had. We would stay here again in a heartbeat, excellent facilities and relatively easy access to slips.

Great to meet you, David, and thanks for entrusting Sparrow to our care.by Kevin C. - Verified user on Aug 29, 2025
Highly recommend. Great price point, clean facilities, showers, bathrooms, comfortable lounge, free laundry. 15-20 min bike ride down via nearby bike path to downtown Portland, Hannafords delivers groceries to the Marina. Dockmaster Mark and his staff were friendly, quick and accommodating. We hope to come back.
Marina Response:
Kevin, Thanks for the kind words and for staying with us. We enjoyed getting to know you both and having you on the docks! While the laundry isn't free, we are happy to put those washes on the house! Hopefully, we'll see you back here again when you're cruising up this way!by Laura L. - Verified user on Aug 09, 2025

Nice staff, super clean, brand new LG appliances in the laundry, quiet dock (heavy concrete floats), everything works, and they fixed my Mariner 3.3 outboard!

Hi Barbara, We would love to host you again if you make it back this way in the future. We hope you're having a great summer.by Robin A. - Verified user on Aug 24, 2023
Maine Yacht Center has been a great place to stay. Protected mooring field, beautiful amenities, parking, good WiFi...would stay again, for sure!
Marina Response:
Hi Robin, Thank you for staying with us. We hope to have the chance to host you again sometime.by Goltz W. - Verified user on Aug 09, 2023
We were moored inside the swing bridge in the river. Strong current caused mooring line and shackles on top of mooring ball to damage our hull as the boat was riding riding the line. Buys got pulled underneath the boat several times, damaging the hull as the ball itself is hard with metal shackles. The surrounds is also really not nice. Launch service is advertised but not available. Costing compared to rest of moorings we stayed at is completely of target. Would advise you try other options first
Marina Response:
Hi Goltz, I'm sorry to hear that your time on our mooring did not meet your expectations. I have refunded you one night's stay and hope that you might visit us again and give us the chance to change your opinion. I hope you have a safe cruise moving forward and wish you a great rest of the summer.by Barbara H. - Verified user on Aug 09, 2023
great place to sit out a storm. Staff was great and ver accomodating.
Marina Response:
Hi Barbara, We enjoyed having you stay with us. We look forward to having the chance host you again. Have a great summer.by Jeffrey p. - Verified user on Jul 21, 2023
Helpful dockstaff. Clean facilities on shore. Excellent WiFi strength with strategic placement of multiple signal boosters on the docks. Wish they had shoreside gas grills as they used to have
Marina Response:
Jeffrey, Thanks for your review. We do have a gas grill available just inside the marina fence. When you hopefully return, we'd be glad to point it out! Thanks, again, for staying with us, and we hope to see you again, soon.by Robert T. - Verified user on Jun 21, 2023
Excellent staff and service
Marina Response:
Hi Robert, Thanks so much for your feedback. It is much appreciated!by Cameron H. - Verified user on Jul 25, 2022
We loved our short stay (2nights) the staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The facilities (showers, lounge, toilets, etc) were exceptionally clean. They also have a curtesy car that was great for groceries and a run to Hamilton’s marine store.
Marina Response:
Thanks so much for your feedback. We hope to see you again this coming summer!by John S. on May 16, 2022
Kudos to the dock crew at Maine Yacht Center. Mark, Cam and Jackson continually make sure the facility is in great shape. They are always working overtime to make upgrades to the docks and making sure they are prepared for their customers. In addition, these folks are very maritime savvy and you are in great hands when they are helping you dock or checking your dock lines. It is very easy to give them a five star rating along with the yard project managers, maritime craftsman and office staff !
