I stayed at the Hrettrshoff Marine Museum for their annual Classic Regatta. If you haven't visited, it is simply a national treasure. The museum is more than a visit with the Herreshoff family, it is a visit with the history of yachting in America.

No bathroom or showers. The dinghy dock is an embarrassment for such a facility. Splinters in the hand and screw heads attacking the dinghies.

The woman at the front desk in the museum was wonderful!! We spent a lot of time in the museum. Went back about 4.30 to use the showers (hooks would be helpful). Mooring was close to dinghy dock - lots of room. Easy walking into town. Enjoyable stay!!

Nice anchorage, a bit open and subject to waves from passing boats. The Museum is a must see. Went to town for dinner and came back to a jazz concert. Do have to dinghy, but not far.

It’s a nice setting but facilities are limited to when the Herreshoff Museum is open. The Museum is definitely worth visiting. It’s an easy walk into town for restaurants and Gray’s ice cream- very tasty. The moorings are exposed to winds from the south/southwest. No launch service.

-Enjoyed Pricey but delicious Lobster Roll & Chowder at the nearby Lobster Pot restaurant.
-Short walk to cute little town with more restaurants!

Mooring was adequate. There is no launch which is fine, but the dinghy dock is quite exposed. Another dinghy came in and left their engine up (grrrrr) and we had a prop rubbing against us in some pretty good chop. All of Bristol Harbor can get quite a nice fetch in a S wind so plan or be prepared accordingly. They confirmed the reservation on Dockwa very quickly!.
Marina Response:
So sorry about the engine, Linda! We ask people to leave their engines down, but we'll try to do a better job of policing it. Thanks for the feedback!by Oliver J. - Verified user on Aug 30, 2023

Sunday arrival no one guarding radio or phone circuits. Spontaneously the Harbor Master appeared and led us to mooring. No services. BUT!! Museum is outstanding and very much worth the trip.

Our wedding was perfect. Yhe event coordinator was amazing. Jim, the dockmaster took such great care of us. Halsey Herreshoff is always a perfect host. Thank you Bill Lynn for your vision and dedication to the community providing excellent venue and youth sailing programs, the STEM program. It is a bustling vibrant waterfront, beautiful. Thank you.
