After an especially difficult sail it was great to grab a mooring in the Inner Harbor area for the evening. Harbormaster was kind and easy to work with. A def go-back!

Great protected anchorage provided nice overnight respite from a Nor’easter. Good facilities and very responsive.

Reserving and grabbing the ball was super easy. We hailed them on the radio and they were able to tell us which ball to go to while we confirmed through Dockwa. The dinghy dock is located behind the gangway at the harbor master's office. Boaters lounge and restrooms felt safe and clean. The location was perfect to walk up the hill to grab groceries. Unfortunately due to our timing with the season, not much was open on a week day, but we will definitely be back!

all staff of the office are friendly and great-very helpful and we had a great time- but waiting for the launch twice- for over an hour as they service the beach- i guess it is good to have service and the facilities are A= but waiting for such a period of time was not good and not fun- but the drivers are all nice and we know- doing the best they can

Great stay! Mooring balls are first rate, easy pickup with stick atop the mooring ball. Launch drivers very helpful with our loads of groceries and boxes. Great town to visit.

Clearly marked mooring balls with a tall pickup sticks facilitated easy tying up. Boaters lounge and facilities are new and impeccably clean. Launch was very quick and clean. All this made visiting actual town a pleasure. Looking forward to our next visit. Alex / Serenity

This was our 3rd visit to Gloucester this season, staying overnight in the inner harbor. The Harbormaster, staff and and launch service are all top notch. Very friendly, welcoming and appreciative of the boaters staying there. Their facilities are also very nice and clean. Highly recommended! A+

Schooner Festival. The harbormaster, launch operators, and dock master were always there providing great service and a helping hand. The facilities are in great condition and appreciate the Mariners Lounge.

Gloucester is one of our favorite ports. Always active and interesting. The harbor masters office is very professional and their dingy dock is located in the perfect spot for walking around town.

Very easy in and out. Super friendly launch drivers who let you in on what's going on. Gloucester has a ton of fun things short walks away. Showers and lounge were excellent- on par with the best I've ever seen.
