GENERAL MARINA INFORMATION:

The Falmouth Town Marina is conveniently located within a well-protected harbor offering the region's most economically friendly marina experience. Our rates are significantly lower than most other marinas in the area.

The marina is located @ 180 Scranton Avenue in historic downtown Falmouth, birthplace 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 to 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 the summer season, 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)

Vehicle overnight parking is allowed in the marina by permit only for the nights you have a slip reservation. We do not offer parking prior to or post reservation nights. (sorry no boat trailers, vehicles only) Parking permits are required and available at the office during check in. Vehicles parked overnight without a valid permit will be ticketed and/or towed. It is the boat owner's responsibility to obtain and display the required parking permit. Public restrooms are also available on site and open during regular marina hours.

SPECIAL IMPORTANT NOTES - PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE BOOKING:

WIFI:

Wireless Internet on LOW DATA mode is available at the main marina only. (180 Scranton Ave) WIFI is not provided at the Tides Bulkhead, Robbins Road or the Davis Bulkhead locations. You can obtain the WIFI password at check-in.

TIDE'S BULKHEAD: (Flat wall tie up, no slips)

The Tide's Bulkhead is used for vessels over 90ft, vessels with beams over 20ft and overflow from the main marina. (Discount fee of 25% applies in July and August) 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. It is located at the entrance to the harbor so lots of boat traffic should be expected. It also abuts a busy motel and beach parking lot so vehicle traffic in the summer is heavy there. (Has power & water but no WIFI or restrooms, The Tide's Bulkhead at times may have inclement weather exposure due to the wave action that can take place at the mouth of the harbor due in part to the prevailing southwest winds in the summer. If you do not want a flat wall to tie up be sure to state "SLIP ONLY" in your reservation comments/request.

DAVIS BULKHEAD & Floats:

The Davis Bulkhead & floats are located at the north end of the harbor. Across the street from 26 Robbins Road and is approximately 1100' away from the main marina. (power & water but no WIFI or restrooms) The Falmouth Raw Bar restaurant is close by and can be noisy during the summer season. The fixed pump-out station is also located at this bulkhead so boating traffic can be heavy here. We do not typically book the Davis Bulkhead unless specifically requested, small boats can reserve the Davis Floating docks.

SPECIFIC SLIP REQUESTS:

Requests for specific slips will be honored whenever possible but are not guaranteed. Slip assignments are subject to change without notice if doing so is deemed to be in the towns best interest.

Check out is by 11:00am sharp. Please make arrangements to leave on time so you do not impact incoming reservations.

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
