The Boathouse is on the rise! The new manager has shown that he has the ambition and dedication to making the Boathouse the destination point for Burlington's Waterfront. There have been years of stagnation and an attitude that the BH is too old. Rob has taken great pains to shine the place up and be competitive with our very 'high end' neighbors. I am optimistic about the future thanks to his leadership and skill set.

Efficient and Friendly staff, venues very clean . Love the new dinghy dock when at the mooring .

The staff is very helpful and responsive. Transient moorings, while close together, work great. Splash is terrific. All in all, a first class stop when out on the Lake.

We were put at a 40 ft dock in front of the restaurant where we were subjected to the noise and music until they closed Additionally, we had to walk our 3 dogs by the guest dining to exit. Meanwhile, 2 of the 3 T-heads thT we normally use were vacant
Marina Response:
Hi Steven, Thank you for providing us your feedback. We're always happy to accommodate slip requests when we receive them. The slip you were assigned is the most requested transient slip in our marina, but individual tastes and preferences vary. Our office is open from 8am-9pm and we would have gladly relocated you had we known you were not happy with your slip assignment. If you return for a future visit, we'll be happy to accommodate you in a different part of the marina! Best regards, Rob Peterson Marina Manager

We love our slip at Perkins Pier. Thanks to all the folks at the Burlington Parks, Recreation and Waterfront Dept.

by Kevin M. - Verified user on Oct 19, 2023
The staff was/is great. However the power towers needed to be cleaned, infested with all kinds of insects. More presence on the docks during the day. Splash appears to be overtaking seating on front dock

by Thomas M. - Verified user on Oct 16, 2023
Great place. Nice people.

by Barbara S. - Verified user on Oct 15, 2023
It was ok but the amenities are a bit less then desired. The code provided in email for the only bathroom did not work ever so that was disappointing.

by Mark K. - Verified user on Oct 15, 2023
Twenty plus years and counting. Been great fun.

by Cliff C. - Verified user on Oct 15, 2023
Very nice and the added locked gates made it more secure and C dock was wonderful! We heard “D” dock had some intruders so maybe put the dingy dock somewhere else?

by randy k. - Verified user on Oct 15, 2023
Always the best! We’ve kept a slip as our home for our sailboat at the Boathouse since 2015. The staff are always attentive and willing to help at the dock. Having Splash as a restaurant on site and the gorgeous view of the Adirondack mountains to the west makes for unparalleled sunset views. A short walk to downtown Church Street provides great shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences. This is truly the jewel of inland New England.

A good start for new management.
