Excellent marina, docks and utilities. Easy walk to downtown Falmouth and stores.

Hope to never have to stay at Tides Bulkhead again. Compounded by inattentive dock hands. First tied us up, which we then redid as not tied well or correctly, plugged in. Second, came back and said they needed to move us forward because they’d forgotten a boat was coming in behind us. Changed power to stern pedestal. Phoned when we were out to dinner to ask us to change power to bow (again) so boat behind us could plug in at our stern as their cord couldn’t reach their bow. All this for the privilege of docking in a parking lot, with cars parked 6 feet from boat and no bathrooms. Oh, and the harbormaster told us not to come back in August because he won’t have any dockhands.
Marina Response:
We are sorry your stay wasn't as expected. The dockwa profile is very clear about the Tide's Bulkhead. Taking some time to read the marina information on the site could have avoided some of these issues. The location is specified as is the fact the restrooms are located on the other side of the harbor and the Tide's does not have WIFI. As Harbormaster for the town I can say I had no conversation with you about staffing levels in August, not sure what you are referring to in that part of your review. Happy to discuss this with you should you desire by contacting the office number. G Fraserby brian4 on Jul 17, 2021

Pleasant dock and office staff, lovely town, walkable. Wish they sold ice. Bathrooms adequate for our needs.
by denmo on Jul 06, 2021
Always a pleasant stay here at the town Docks. We were on D dock and it was awesome . Great neighbors and a close walk to everything you need. We had our 2-16 year old beagles and the park area up past the hill is great for dogs. The town has doggy barrels and dispensers but they were empty. We always have our own. Great long weekend in Falmouth. Highly recommended

Was not made aware of being put on a bulkhead away from marina with no pump out or fuel servi
Marina Response:
This review is Interesting. The "issues" you mention are clearly listed on our Dockwa marina profile. (Tide's Bulkhead) Boaters are asked specifically to state if they want a slip only while making a reservation, you did not. The town has never operated a fuel dock and dockwa states that information. Dockwa says fuel is near by (Falmouth Marine, MacDougall's, & East Marine) Finally, pump outs are widely available via several pump out boats and stations in Falmouth Harbor. (MacDougall's boat, Falmouth Marine station & the town pump-out boat) by majabloshop on Jun 26, 2021
Gorgeous docks. Nice staff
Wish there was a layout of the slips posted on Dockwa to make it easier to know where we are heading if we’ve never been to that marina before.
Great location near a grocery and west marine and laundry. Worth it!
Marina Response:
Thank you for your stay with us and the suggestion about the layout on Dockwa. We will reach out to them and see if we can get that done for next season. by rrkrrk on Jun 22, 2021
We stayed on the Tides bulkhead. It is an over-flow.area. There is no WiFi there.
Marina Response:
Thank you for staying we us. The WiFi is limited to the main marina slips only as the information in Dockwa states.by a27 on Jun 11, 2021

Wonderful location. Helpful staff. Has everything you need. One of our favorites!
Marina Response:
Thank you, hope to see you back soon.by davet007 on May 10, 2021
The marina is very safe and quiet. It's so nice to be in a slip rather than a mooring. West Marine and Windfall Market are across the street. Falmouth Town center is about a mile walk with nice shops and restaurants. This marina should be added to every cruiser's list when exploring Vineyard and Nantucket Sounds.
Marina Response:
We appreciate your feedback and nice review. Hope to see you again in Falmouthby marym on Oct 18, 2020
Pretty little harbor, beautiful weather while we were there, nothing to complain about! Really enjoyed the Flying Bridge for dinner, excellent food!

by ricm on Sep 09, 2020
Always clean, easy in & out, great floating docks and a reasonable price. What’s not to like? Oh the ferry can be a little noisy, but this is a great, well protected harbor. Easy walk into town for great dining, and a food and marine store walkable also.
Marina Response:
Happy to hear you had a great stay with us. Look forward to seeing you back in Falmouth sometime soon.by zoona on Sep 08, 2020

Had a wonderful experience at the Falmouth Town Marina. Staff and patrons were friendly and helpful, and they didn't overbook in the height of summer.
by cannedyou on Aug 07, 2020
Went to marina for one night stay, layover. Efficient and helpful.
Great place for addressing mechanical issues and or reprovisioning as they have a terrific market just up the street.
by malmeida on Aug 06, 2020
Great marina. Well built docks and pilings. We rode out a tropical storm and all ended well. The harbor is extremely well protected and the marina is terrific.

Falmouth Town Marina is exemplary, everything you would need is available. The dock mates are wonderful a special thanks to Marco and Brandon

Great Marina
Great area
Safe
Plenty of parking
by gilligan2020 on Jul 08, 2020
Brendan was very helpful. But the floating docks appeared to be designed by somebody who has never taken a boat to a marina.
The slip we were put in had a piling At the dock right were the bow should be. The electricity and water required the hose and cords to cross the dock becoming a tripping hazard. Then there was the challenge of not enough cleats.
Anyway nice place though the restaurants seem to close early and West Marine closes at 5. But it’s convenient to groceries and a laundromat.
by bluesky on Jul 04, 2020
Great place to visit , the location is awesome the docks are excellent and the bathrooms are clean and the staff is helpful.

by bmarkpaul on Sep 15, 2019
Two stays. First at the marina docks themselves and they are floating and good. Convenient to downtown as well. Second time we were out at the pier they control at the mouth of the harbor on our 55 pilot house. Not a good answer. Had a boater not paying attention and hit our starboard side. Exposure is too great there. Staff at the marina itself was exceptional.
by dogwatch on Sep 08, 2019
Great harbor. Clean bathrooms and showers. Close walk to excellent downtown filled with shops and restaurants. We’ll be back!

Well protected harbor, good facilities, Easy access to boat ramp to launch boat. Nice staff
by rkfitz on Aug 12, 2019
The docks were nice as were the bathrooms, but the staff were inexperienced and had difficulty controlling and tying up my boat when I arrived. When I went to the office to check in they acted as though I was an imposition. I felt as though I was at the town tax assessor's office. In the future I'll stick to privately owned marinas.

We are sorry your stay wasn't up to your expectations. This review is surprising given the many review compliments the staff get in general and this year in particular. by pvgas on Aug 08, 2019

by jefeeley7 on Jul 21, 2019
Not very transient friendly. Stay away from Raw Bar.
Marina Response:
We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. Our records show no complaints were every brought to the staffs attention. Most guests are happy to be near the Raw Bar. If you return please request the D dock as it isn't located near the Raw Bar or Flying Bridge Restaurant.by joblunt on Jul 18, 2019

Very well protected marina near top of Falmouth Harbor, walking distance into town and West Marine, upscale market, Flying Bridge restaurant and Dunkin Donuts close by.
Great floating docks a couple of feet above water level with very safe perforated metal surface. Key access to nearby bathrooms and showers that are kept very clean.

Great floating docks and very convenient to restaurants and provisioning. Heads are card-keyed and clean, but basic re: amenities. Highly recommend for 4th July as viewing location for town fireworks, truly great show!
by owoobly on Jul 09, 2018
It would've been a 5 star review however they put us on the bulkhead which is almost at the mouth of the harbor. It was pretty rocky. Not so much for our Marlow but our friends 50' viking was rocking like crazy. We would've preferred to be at their main dock further in where there is less current and closer to town and the Raw Bar. We also had to run our Gen for our 50amp leg that runs our AC because the breaker kept overloading..Spent 6 days in Nantucket and travel alot, that never happens. We really like Falmouth and if need be stay in the same place, we would.
by jthommen on Jul 07, 2018

About Falmouth Town Marina
The Falmouth Town Marina is conveniently located within a well protected harbor for the area's most economically friendly marina experience. The marina is located @ 180 Scranton Avenue in historic downtown Falmouth, birth place of "America the Beautiful" author Katherine Lee Bates. We are located less than 5 miles from Martha's Vineyard and only 3 miles from Woods Hole. The marina is walking distance from main street, beaches, groceries stores, shops and many fine restaurants. The marina consists of (7) floating finger piers and 108 total berths. The primary transient float is "D", directly in front of the marina building. We also rent out vacant seasonal slips as they become available. Larger vessels and overflow dockage is also provided at the east side of the mouth of the harbor (Tide's Bulkhead/flat wall tie up) and northern end of the harbor (Davis Bulkhead/flat wall tie up & Davis Floats). During July and August the marina is staffed from 8am to 8pm. The marina monitors VHF channels 16 & 9 and our working frequency is channel 12. Please contact the staff via radio or cell phone if you need any assistance during docking for arrivals or departures. The marina building has yachtsmen only bathrooms and showers. A key card is required to access that part of the building and available at the marina office. (refundable cash key deposit required) Public restrooms are also available on site. WiFi is limited to the main marina only in front of the marina building. (No WIFI at Robbins Road, Davis Bulkhead or the Tides Bulkhead)
SPECIAL NOTES: The Tide's Bulkhead is used for vessels over 90ft, vessels with beams over 20ft and overflow from the main marina. If you DO NOT wish to be placed on a bulkhead when our slips are sold out, please specify that in your comments. (IE no bulkhead/slip only) The Tides Bulkhead is approximately 2200' from the main marina, on the other (east) side of the harbor adjacent to the Tide's Motel @ 267 Clinton Ave. (power & water but no WIFI or restrooms, abuts the busy public parking lot next to the Tide's Motel) The Davis Bulkhead is located at the north end of the harbor on Robbins Road and is approximately 1100' away from the main marina. (power & water but no WIFI or restrooms) The Tide's Bulkhead docking area at times may have limited weather exposure due to the wave action that can take place at the mouth of the harbor. (Typically strong SW winds) It is infrequent but does happen during some inclement weather. Requests for specific slips will be honored whenever possible but cannot be guaranteed. Slip assignments are subject to change at any time.
Should you require any assistance or have any issues you need addressed during your stay please contact the dock staff directly (508-457-2550) , we are all happy to help and want to do all we can to ensure you have a great experience at the town marina. Gregg Fraser - Harbormaster
