Burlington Community Boathouse

I've kept my boat at the Burlington Boathouse for about twenty years and have always been very happy with both the facilities and the staff, not to mention the wonderful location. In particular, the staff really care for the boaters and are very attentive to our needs. I can't speak highly enough about this facility.

I am the lead Captain for the organization Sail Beyond Cancer. Our mission is to provide 3 hour private sailing experience for those undergoing treatment for cancer. We have chosen to keep our boat at the Burlington Community Docks due to the prime location to downtown Burlington and the ease of access for our clients but also because of the incredible service that we receive from Rob Peterson and his staff. While we carry a crew of 3 to pilot our 42' Catalina, there are times in certain weather situations when we need a hand getting on and off the dock. Rob's crew always appears on the dock quickly as if by magic and handles our lines to assure that we give our passengers a safe landing. The entire staff is always cheerful and super helpful resulting ain an over all uplifting experience when we encounter them. In addition, Rob and the City of Burlington donate a parking spot for our Captains within easy walking distance to the slip to support us on our efforts to serve the cancer community. Thanks Rob for all you do and we are looking forward to a great season in 2027.

Whistling Man Schooner has proudly operated 2 hour cruises from the Burlington Community Boathouse Marina for over 30 years. We are proud to be a part of a community marina as opposed to a private one, and the staff at the Burlington Community Boathouse is superb. They do not hesitate to provide assistance in any way they can, and they do their absolute best to maintain a high standard of services. For anyone looking for either transient or seasonal dockage on Lake Champlain, there is no better choice than the Burlington Community Boathouse.

Joan and I love the Boathouse staff - they are right there every time we need them. From the beginning of the season to the end, there's no place with better staff! We've spent winters on our boat in St. Pete, Florida for 8 years, and there's nothing like coming home to Burlington and our Boathouse summers. Can't imagine a better experience than the Boathouse. 10 stars if we could! Can't wait for next year.

It's been 16 years so far.Best sunset on the waterfront! The STAFF are always friendly and welcoming: the harbor master, Erin Moreau, and the assistant harbor master, Rob Peterson do a GREAT job making the marina feel more like a community. Myself and the other slipholders appreciate everything you folks do for us. See you next season. Fair Winds, Don Baker Champlain Classic Charters

Awesome marina always clean, restrooms, docs, well-maintained. Rob the harbormaster is awesome . always doing something great with the customers . we had a great season.

Nice facility. Marina manager Rob Peterson really takes care of business! Lots of improvements and more to come.

Great , professional crew all around

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Perkins Pier this summer and appreciate the new decking and deeper waters. Thank you!

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. It is great to have a proactive manager...

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.

For a 5 star it would be whit a pick up buoy... but for the rest great place!

Very easy to reserve and nice docks in a great location.

The staff at the Burlington Community Boathouse were very helpful, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. The marina is close to downtown Burlington, making it a great spot for dinner or resupplying.

Very good place to stay

Excellent marina, well-located, and attentive staff.

Hard to find showers everything else was great

Docking was ok! Staff were friendly, but when I went to pay I inquired about military/vets in which they do absolutely nothing for. Quoted me a price and then they slipped in a debit/credit card fee without mentioning it to me. Overall disappointing and would not recommend

We were there on the 3rd and 4th for the fireworks. Rob and crew made it another great experience at the Boathouse. Just the best - couldn't be better.

Stayed for the fireworks. Great staff and great marina.

We stayed at the marina for a month. The staff was wonderful and very helpful during our stay. We enjoyed it.

Great crew. Always helpful

Great night at the dock.

The Burlington Community Boathouse is great. The staff are wonderful and they treat everyone with great kindness and respect. They're always available to help, catch a line, shove a boat or assist with a pumpout. I'd recommend a stay here for anyone boating in the area.
