Port Clyde Moorings by Lyman-Morse

Great spot but no wind protection from NW-N. The dinghy dock is VERY crowded, but the mooring was solid.

Nice stay. The moorings are nice and easy to pickup. The issue I had was with the dinghy dock. There isn’t a lot of room for boats using Port Clyde moorings by Lyman-Morse. There were a lot of local boats there. Lyman-Morse needs to provide a space for boats using their moorings. Probably will not be back until things change.

We had a terrific experience at Port Clyde and with the Lyman Morse dock staff! They both earned Gold Stars! We came in to get diesel and water close to 5 p.m., and the dock hand was attentive and friendly. We spent the night in the harbor on a LM mooring and in the morning the weather had turned. We came to the dock to do a crew change and quickly the wind picked up. The dock hand (a terrific kid still in high school) was great helping us get our dinghy onto their dock and then us off the dock to a safe mooring to ride out the weather. He then helped us get ashore and gave us the use of a room in the Colby College guest house where we had showers and could "ride out" the storm ashore. We felt taken care of by this kid and are so grateful. His maturity is beyond his years and he was both friendly and professional. We highly recommend Port Clyde's Lyman Morse dock services and the whole Colby College complex. Nice people!

Excellent moorings, but the showers were dirty and subpar.

Mooring with pendant was good. We were instructed by email to grab any mooring marked PCGS, which we did. There was one young guy working for LM and he was busy fueling a boat when we dinghied ashore. There is a house across the street from the marina with a coded door lock with a bathroom and shower marked “Marina and mooring guests”. It was adequate but needs some work. The second bathroom which had a sign for the restaurant “The Barn customers only was much nicer, cleaner and in better repair.” The waterfront is very quaint and beautiful. We had a nice dinghy ride. The food truck on the LM dock was excellent and nice picnic tables to hang out. In summary we had a good visit but LM has little presence there and the bath and shower, while adequate, need an upgrade. The young staff guy was nice and helpful.

A No Wake Zone buoy should be set in the harbor, not that everyone would adhere to it. Lyman Morse is in the process of making Port Clyde a destination and I hope it works for Port Clyde. At the moment, 17 moorings are offered, but beware, there is only one bathroom that can only be accessed between the hours of 8am and 5pm.. hope they are working on this..

We pulled in late after changing plans. We grabbed an available mooring and requested through Dockwa. We received a very quick response. Nice quiet and protected mooring.

Love Port Clyde, and the moorings at Lyman-Morse were easy to find and pick up, and nicely located near the town. The dock master was very friendly and helpful.

The mooring and pickup were great but the lobster and fishing boats go screaming thru the harbor at all hours causing tremendous wake. We put up lights fearing they would hit us. Will not return until a speed limit in the anchorage is enforced

All the services you need and conscientious staff

New mooring lines, clear useful info on Dockwa. Lyman Morse personnel helpful.

Good mooring infrastructure. Good response from staff when needed. Will likely come back fo the Mohegan island ferry

Perfect night in Port Clyde! Beautiful sunset and calm waters. Well maintained moorings and appreciated the info message.

Moorings in great shape. Rode out 30kt storm in comfort. Staff is very accommodating.

Great location, and a new mooring pennant too!

Lovely spot but no one in attendance. Our assigned mooring was snarled and unusable. No one answered on VHF or phone. We grabbed another mooring and all worked out fine.

The mooring was easy to reserve and locate. We had to move due to interference with other boats, so be aware of swing issues when you get settled. We were surprised to learn that showers and trash were additional fees. I would have thought these were included in the mooring fee, but they were not. Generally we were happy with the location and security in a northerly blow. Thank you PCGS!

This time around I have to say, much better! Met Oliver (Dock-master who should be hired full time). One shower available only until 5pm when Oliver leaves! Dont look at it as a marina- just a good mooring ball at $50, +$5 per shower, $5 for each bag of trash …you get the picture! It’s a beautiful place, fair ice-cream, very friendly people! Oliver brought this up to a 5 star! Good job!

Our second stay here in a couple of weeks, and less good this time than last. Moorings themselves are still great, but no attendant this time. Self serve diesel which was OK, but unable to buy ice. There is a number to call, but I got no answer. Got a call back about 90 min later, but by then we were gone. Still a good little place to stop over. Walked to the lighthouse, and dinner at the Black Harpoon was good.

It is always a pleasure to stay in Port Clyde. Can’t wait til the new store is built.

Lovely, was able to get self serve diesel on the dock and there is a great coffee shop right there.

Nice calm protected mooring with easy pickup. No facilities

Oliver on the dock is the nicest young man. The Squid Ink Coffee shop (in the temporary and new PCGS building) is great. The Mohegan Mailboat terminal building is rebuilt and has a nice gift shop. It's good to see the Port Clyde waterfront bouncing back from the Sept 2023 fire disaster.

They changed my mooring assignment the day I arrived. My assigned mooring ball had a raft attached to it to store an aluminum long ramp. I could not get hold of them to find an optional mooring ball. I took the mooring ball which was in front of the raft. I was told later that was the mooring ball I should use. Due to the wind and current of my boat and the mooring ball raft, the raft was now hitting my catamaran. It ripped off my rubber sugar scoop protection, and the aluminum ramp hit my customer's step. Thank goodness no damage to my step. I immediately left this mooring ball and located a new mooring ball far away from this location. I talk to someone using the Dockwa messages. Not very helpful as I had already moved. Not very happy with Port Clyde lack of coordination.

The only good thing is the location for moving up and down the coast. No one at home or on channel 9 on a Saturday midday in July- mooring assignment was by email in a location with very spotty cell coverage. Only trash disposal was dumpster on public lot if you can find it. Onshore facility was one rest room (if you can find it). Fuel dock unattended/ self service- a jet ski came in and the driver had a cigarette on the fuel dock when waiting his turn! When I suggested he not smoke on a fuel dock, he shrugged. Essentially nothing for $50 except a mooring ball.
