This is why it is so important to have your mooring serviced annually . Not only is it a requirement and a condition of your mooring permit, it can save you a lot of aggravation and money . This link was taken off a broken free mooring and boat yesterday that washed up on 10lb island . This chain was only 3 years old .

We are now offering Gilman Softlite "Hull Friendly" mooring buoys as an option to our customers. These buoys feature a soft foam collar that protects your boat from dings and scratches and also acts as a storage bin for your pennants and pickup buoy when you're away from your mooring. Give us a call for more information or stop by the shop to see one in person.

Our pennant racks are starting to look a little thin. That must mean Memorial Day weekend is around the corner. Wishing everyone a Happy and safe holiday weekend. We look forward to seeing you on the water!

One question we get asked a lot is “How do I find out where I am on the waiting list?”. Well the good news is that times have changed and the town now posts the lists online.

Our barge will be 30 years old this year and we're celebrating with a little bit of an upgrade. The new John Deere engines just arrived and will be installed shortly. We're also installing a new hydraulic system and deck winch and all new fuel tanks. Spring is just around the corner and we hope to be back on the water soon!

Beginning this week, contractors will start replacing the broken sewer pipeline between Stramski’s Playground and the SESD treatment plant in Salem. To accomplish this, the contractors will need to temporarily remove moorings between these two points. While the project is scheduled to be completed by May 1st, there may be some delays due to the extreme winter we have faced. If necessary, we will work with our affected customers to find them temporary moorings until the work is complete.

Additionally, if you are in the affected area and notice that your mooring has been put back in the wrong location, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can work with the Harbormaster to get it fixed.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Affected mooring holders will be notified by the Harbormaster in the coming weeks.
