We had a wonderful stay in Gloucester’s inner harbor. We were already familiar with the harbor, so the real treat for us was the friendly, extremely accommodating staff of the Gloucester Harbor Master. They could not have been more helpful. We also loved the new Mariners Lounge with A/C and clean bathrooms and showers. Cannot recommend this stop more; we will definitely be back!

It was a good stay. Gloucester is a historic town that has many small town charms. I came here to visit the Sandbars and ate freshest seafood like lobsters and steamers. If you need assistance finding your mooring, call the Harbormaster on Channel 14.

Moorings are well marked and easy to pick up. Having an inner harbor mooring was so convenient to take our inflatable into town and to watch the festivities during Fiesta! Highly recommend.

Charming working harbor with great restaurants and fresh fish available close to where launch drops you off. 24 hour showers are good and clean.
Very efficient service through Dockwa and friendly and helpful harbormaster. He made sure we could get into Mariners' Lounge before he left for the night.
Launch runs late enough to allow you to have dinner and get back to boat.

The first night was perfect.
The second they made move for the fireworks but it all worked out with the support of the Gloucester Harbormasters.
Great weekend As usual the Gloucester Harbormaster came through again finding me a last minute mooring so I didn’t have to sail back at night in a fog bank thank you guy’s

Interesting harbour with the fishing boats and processing plant. The harbor master was very helpful. The toilet and shower facilities were the best of our 5 day trip between Boston and Boothbay Harbor. Will stay again.

Very helpful staff. A much quieter mooring than I expected in such a busy harbor. Wonderful to have the Gloucester Harbor launch service as part of the mooring fee.

As always a great stay! Love coming into Gloucester from the ocean side. The harbormaster crew is always super helpful.

This was our 5th visit to Gloucester, 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. Their location is easy walking distance to several great restaurants and fun spots. Highly recommended! A+

We had a great stay, launch drivers are super helpful and get you to any spot in the harbor. Harbormasters office is there for you if you have any questions or need help as well. Hats off to the City for constantly improving the rec boaters experience in their City. See you soon!

Good mooring in inner harbor. Excellent service.

We stayed on a mooring in the inner harbor in Gloucester for a few days. The Harbormaster and the launch operators were friendly and helpful. The new maritime center facilities are
great. The center is close to town.
