How do I reserve a slip or mooring?
Use the reservation form on this site, call the dockmaster at (207) 555-0177, or hail Sou'wester on VHF Channel 9 as you come into the harbor. Seasonal berths are best booked by April 1; transient space we'll sort out the day you arrive.
What's the depth, and how big a boat can you take?
We carry 12 feet at mean low water in the approach and at the floats, and our 35-ton travel-lift and slips handle sail and power up to 60 feet. Call us for anything larger and we'll work it out.
What channel do you monitor, and when?
We monitor VHF Channel 9, and the dockmaster's office and launch run 7am to 9pm daily during the season, May 15 through Oct 15.
Do you sell fuel and have a pump-out?
Yes — gasoline and clear diesel at the fuel float, plus a free pump-out station. We're proud of a clean harbor and ask everyone to use it.
What's included in a slip or mooring rate?
Slip rates include 30/50-amp power, fresh water, restrooms, hot showers, and the launch. Mooring rates include the launch and a maintained, inspected pennant. Laundry, ice, and the ships' store are right ashore.
Can you store and service my boat for the winter?
That's the heart of what we do. We haul, block, shrink-wrap or cover, and store inside or out, then handle any repairs, bottom paint, or repower over the winter and launch you in the spring. Book your haul-out by Labor Day.
Give the dockmaster a call.
Russ and the crew are happy to talk through your boat, your dates, or the approach. Reach us by phone, by form, or on Channel 9.
