MAINE MARINAS, YACHT CLUBS, TOWN LANDINGS, AND FUEL DOCKS

THE COAST of Maine is not known for its marinas. For a coast that is over 250 miles long as the crow flies, Maine has fewer marinas than almost any other stretch of Atlantic shoreline. The marinas that do exist tend to be clustered around the busier ports and larger yachting centers, and they are all busy. The rest are far-flung, usually ancillary to core businesses of boat building and boat repair. In the stretch of coast Down East between Schoodic Point and East Quoddy Head, there are virtually none. Marinas provide both seasonal and transient dockage and/or moorings, and they often have fuel docks and pump-outs. Fuel can often also be obtained at commercial wharves. Yacht Clubs often provide rental moorings or dockage and reciprocal priveleges for visitng memebers of other clubs. Town landings provide public water access, often with launching ramps and temporary dockage. The following marinas offer seasonal and transient and temporary dockage and moorings, fuel and water, electricity and phone and cable hookups. Often these marinas have onshore boatyard facilities as well.

Their advantage is their proximity to downtown Portsmouth, only steps away. Use extreme care in approaching. The reservable slips can be rented reasonably by the hour or for overnight berthing for boats up to 40 feet, with a 24-hour limit. Deep water, reported to be 8 feet, is limited to the outer floats. A dockmaster will help place you.

	The Marina at Harbor Place 603-433-1904	This small marina was located in Portsmouth on the south side of the river just past Memorial Bridge, on either side of the tugboat restaurant John Wanamaker. The tug, however, has been sold, and the status of the marina is uncertain.

	Performance Marine P.O. Box 1039 Rt 9 Lower Village Kennebunk, ME 04043 Ch. 09, 16; 207-967-5550	Performance Marine is a true repair yard that makes no pretensions of being a spit-shined marina. They specialize in stainless steel fabrication, welding, and engine and hull repairs. This is the place a lobsterman comes when he needs a new exhaust system, or the yachtsman when he has charted a new rock with his keel. They haul boats with a boatlift and a 10-ton crane and will stretch their schedules to accommodate transients in need of repairs. They rent several moorings and slips to transients if they are available, but dockage, except for several sightseeing boats, is not really their business. They pump diesel and gas and have water and ice. Pump-outs are planned.
		Performance Marine
	Arundel Yacht Club 51 Ocean Ave. Kennebunkport, ME 04046 Ch. 09; 207-967-3060, dockmaster: 967-2612	The clubhouse is a wonderful wooden building that was once part of a rope walk where rope was laid and twisted. A limited number of rental slips are available here, with up to 5 feet of depth, water, and electricity. Ice and club showers are ashore. There is no fuel, and the water shoals rapidly toward the inner slips. Note that large shoal areas lurk just before and after the club, the corners of which are marked by pilings.

They may have a mooring or be able to put you on the dock, with water and 16 feet of depth. A chandlery and a shower are ashore. Under the new ownership of Ethan Cook, they are attracting some of the finest boat craftsmen anywhere who can perform all types of hull, engine, rigging, or electrical repairs. They’ve developed a following among owners of Concordia yawls and a reputation for their gorgeous glass version of Nathaniel Herreshoff's Alerion sloop. Recently they introduced a new line of custom trawlers based on a lobsterboat hull.
Saco Bay

Portland Harbor
	Portland Yacht Services 58 Fore St. Portland, ME 04101 Ch. 09, 16; 207-774-1067	The expanding facilities of PYS lie at the eastern end of Portland Harbor, directly below the Portland Observatory up on the hill. The moorings and docks at PYS have considerable exposure, but they are within walking distance of downtown Portland. The 18 moorings are massive, 4000-pounders. The floats,with water and pump-outs, can accommodate vessels to 120 feet with depths to 20 feet. PYS handles major restoration and repair projects to wood and glass boats, including hull, engine, outboard, rigging, and electrical work, and they have an extensive engine parts department.

	Portland Town Docks Harbormaster Eric Pierce 2 Portland Fish Pier Commercial St. Portland, ME 04101 207-773-1613 Harbormaster: Ch. 09, 16; 207-772-8121	In season, the harbormaster operates a patrol boat with large identifying lettering. His office is located in the Marine Trade Center on the Portland Fish Pier. Two town floats allow limited doking for brief periods. One is at the end of the State Pier, just east of the Casco Bay Lines ferry terminal and their yellow-and-red ferries. Another is deep in the slip just to the west of the terminal. Neither is ideal. The east float is newer, longer, and has more depth than the other, but it is very exposed to wash from passing boats and so narrow that it is difficult to leave. Avoid walking on the tarred, wooden planking on the State Pier or you might end up with a new, black deck job. The inner float is hard by the Portland fireboat with very little maneuvering room and shoal water at low.

	Sunset Marina 231 Front Street South Portland, ME 04106 Ch. 09; 207-767-4729 Fax: 207-767-4721	After passing the long oil pipeline terminal pier, can “5,” and storybook little Bug Light, you will see the slips of Sunset Marina directly across the harbor from Portland’s Old Port. If you should be so lucky, their face floats can accommodate transients to 250 feet with ample depth. Gas, diesel, water, pump-outs, ice, and 50-amp shore power are available, as well as showers and laundry facilities ashore. The Sea Dog Tavern and Grill (799-6055) overlooks the docks, or if you would prefer a night on the town, Sunset offers a shuttle service across the harbor.

	Maine Shipyard Front St. South Portland, ME 04106 207-767-1914	Known for years as the South Portland Shipyard, this is the country’s oldest working shipyard. Its weathered red and yellow sheds are on the southern, South Portland side of Portland Harbor, just to the west of Sunset Marina and couldn’t be more of a contrast. Massive marine railways haul boats to 400 tons, a 25-ton crane towers overhead, and Black Beauty crunches underfoot. This yard was one of two in South Portland to build Liberty Ships in record time and numbers for the war effort in the 1940s. Now under the management of George Drivas, its mainstay is still commercial work, but pleasure boats are an increasing part of its business. The yard can do major hull repairs and repairs to engines and rigs. Future plans call for the expansion of their dockage.

	DiMillo´s Old Port Marina 1 Long Wharf Portland, ME 04101 Ch. 09, 71; 207-773-7632 Fax: 207-773-4207	DiMillo’s is easily recognized from the water by its large blue-and-white floating restaurant (773-2216) made out of an old ferry. The ferry was once the Newport running between Newport and Jamestown and later the clubhouse and dry-sailing dock of the Pawtucket Yacht Club in Port Jefferson, New York. The marina has gas, diesel, water, pump-outs, ice, cable television hookups, and electricity to 50 amps. Piling breakwaters protect 125 slips with room for transients in 8 to 21. They can accommodate several vessels to 200 feet on the faces of their outer floats. A marine store, showers, and laundry facilities are ashore. A rich variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment is right across Commercial Street in the Old Port Exchange.

	Centerboard Yacht Club 271 Front St South Portland, ME 04106 207-799-7084	Centerboard Yacht Club (Ch. 68; 207-799-7084). This friendly and unassuming yacht club has a substantial fleet of cruising boats and moorings for transients. Centerboard is beyond Maine Shipyard’s red sheds on the south side of Portland Harbor. The small clubhouse has big “CYC” letters on the roof. The club has several guest moorings and keeps track of members who are away cruising. No fuel is available, but water and a head pump are on the long finger float, which has four feet of depth at low. A shower, ice, and a pay phone are ashore. It is quite pleasant to lie at a CYC mooring, gazing across at Portland’s twinkling lights and listening to the low growl of the city in the distance, rocked occasionally by the wash of some large vessel passing. The harbor is the path for jets from Portland’s airport, but pilots tend to sleep later than lobstermen.

	South Port Marine 14 Ocean Street South Portland, ME 04106 207-799-8191 Fax: 207-767-5937	South Port Marine is the marina farthest into the harbor on the South Portland side of Portland Harbor, just before the Casco Bay Bridge crossing into Portland. It has the advantage of being closer to Portland by land than any of the other South Portland marinas, and it is within walking distance of the supermarkets at the Mill Creek Shopping Center. If your boat draws more than 4 1/2 feet, however, enter at half-tide or better, and follow the channel markers carefully. The outside floats have 6 feet of depth at low and hook-ups for water, pump-outs, electricity to 50 amps, phone and cable. Boats can be hauled with the 60-ton boatlift for repairs to hull or engine. Showers, laundry, a small chandlery, and ice are ashore.

Peaks Island
	Peaks Island Town Dock Harbormaster Eric Pierce 2 Portland Fish Pier Commercial St. Portland, ME 04101 207-773-1613

	Jones Landing Marina 6 Welch St. Peaks Island, ME 04108 207-766-3040	Jones’ has no facilities for transients, but there is deep water at the outer float for restaurant patrons. If things look calm, you could, perhaps, arrange overnight dockage. Jones’ Landing is next to the ferry docks, serving beer and food with unsurpassed sunset views of the Portland skyline. Pay phones are outside. If you land on a Sunday afternoon, you might think you’ve hit Jamaica. Jones’ hosts a live reggae jam which has become somewhat of a Woodstock on the water. Depending on your temperament, this is either the place to avoid or the place to be.

	Peaks Island Marina Lionel Plante Associates 98 Island Ave. Peaks Island, ME 04108 207-766-2508	Peaks Island Marina (207-766-5783, 766-2508). The Peaks Island Marina is recognizable by the construction equipment ashore. The floats have room for more than fifty boats with depths from 35 feet at the outside to 10 feet closer inshore. They also have a number of heavy moorings with blue-and-white drums for floats. Gas is available at the floats, but not water. Diesel is available at the top of the hill above the marina, but you will have to lug it. The island laundromat is right by the pumps, and propane tanks can be exchanged. If you’d rather have yours filled, contact Peaks Island Fuel (766-5700), just up from the town wharf.

Patrons of the restaurant are also welcome to use the floats temporarily, though they may be asked to pay a small fee which is reimbursed in food or drink. The former storehouse at the head of the main pier is now the four-star Diamond’s Edge Restaurant, open for lunch and dinner (766-5850). Just beyond is the small General Store, open seven days a week during the height of the season, where you will find beer, wine, ice, grocery staples, coffee, and breakfast items.

The “facility user fee” includes the mooring, launch service, and the use of club facilities. The club was founded in Portland just after the Civil War when Portland Harbor was still crowded with great sailing ships and coasting schooners. Having survived fire and the Depression, the PYC almost foundered due to lost membership during World War II. It was born again with the acquisition of a Falmouth Foreside summer cottage on a bluff with grand views of Casco Bay. Today the club is a bustling, family-oriented sailing center, with a vigorous sailing program for juniors and popular races on weekends and Thursday evenings. Launch service is provided from 8 AM to 9 PM. Water and ice are available at the dock, but no fuel.

Boats are still hauled by tractor and cradled in a field that slopes gently to the beach. Kids plunge into the water off the float, and the smell of boat paint mingles with wafts of cut grass and salt air.
