The staff at Nantucket Boat Basin are extraordinarily personable and professional. We had anticipated staying three nights, but due to foul weather had to extend our stay. The staff at the Boat Basin were beyond accommodating - going out of their way to ensure we still were able to enjoy our time in Nantucket between providing restaurant and activity recommendations to welcoming our pup with some gifts. We couldn’t recommend the Boat Basin more!
Marina Response:
Thank you so much for your kind review. It's always fun for us to share our favorite parts of Nantucket with our guests. We very much enjoyed having you stay with us and chatting in the office with you and Jagger! We look forward to welcoming you back for your next trip.

Fantastic staff and dock attendants and wonderful marina. We were able to pump out in slip which for us is a major convenience and time saver. Thanks for a terrific stay.
Marina Response:
We appreciate your review! We will be sure to pass along the compliment to our staff. Always happy to provide the free slip-side pump-out service as it contributes to the wellbeing of our harbor. We would love to have you visit again!

Started out another great season with some visits to Nantucket Boat Basin. The crew at the Basin provide the most professional and friendly service every time. They make coming in to a busy harbor/ basin very easy with great communication and can provide many services while staying at the Basin. Thank you John

" For over 40 years we've been visiting the Nantucket Boat Basin as we have travelled the world on the water. During the last 3 years there is a REMARKABLE and SIGNIFICANT improvement in both the services and the design enhancements at what has always been a global destination for thousands every summer. From the reservation system and new communications once reserved all the way to the special handling by the dock attendants and then the really special personal touches like the Saturday afternoon Wine and Cheese on the docks, the NANTUCKET BOAT BASIN makes every effort to engage, comfort and relate to every individual boater that comes there. It is truly a SEVEN (7) Star experience, and this year we noticed many many boaters from further away EXTENDING their stay (If they could retain their much 'in demand' slips) just BECAUSE of how they felt dockside every day. We'll certainly be there at least another 50 years (we hope)." Frank a. Stasiowski, Owner, Hinckley 44 SERENITY.

Jeremiah the electrician is the best! Saved our bacon and marriage! Took the time to diagnose why the shore power kept tripping when we hooked up. Turned out it was our port side outlets. Thank you again!
Marina Response:
We love to hear that our electrician was able to solve the problem! We appreciate the positive feedback. Hope to see you another time this summer.

We are lucky enough to spend every summer in Nantucket; when we arrive at Nantucket Boat Basin in June, its like coming home! Everybody is welcoming & has a smile on their face. The facilities are great and they couldn't be more helpful or accommodating. Its so nice to see all familiar faces after so many years- the sign of a well run operation!
Marina Response:
Thank you! So great you are able to come each year - we love that we have return guests like you each summer. We appreciate the positive feedback and hope to meet your expectations again in 2023.

An awesome spot to spend a few days. Slipside punpout service was real treat
Marina Response:
Glad you enjoyed your stay. September is a great time to visit the island!

by David M. on Sep 04, 2022
When you are the only game in town it’s hard to get anything less than a 5 start review, but these guys deserve it. Excellent communication, easy in/out, beautiful location. Recommend going in during office hours. Your experience with the dock staff will be MUCH different that it will be if you go in later. No wonder it is so hard to get a slip here, but it is worth the trip if you can get one. ~Capt. David, M/Y Magnum Ride
Marina Response:
We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us & thank you for your kind review! We hope to see you again next season.

Quick few days get-away. Everyone at the Boat Basin were accommodating and cordial. Particularly nice that upon arrival we were greeted by name when hailing the dockmaster.
Marina Response:
We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Customer service is important to us, as is your feedback. We would love to have you back again soon!

by William B. on Jun 27, 2022
This is a well run facility extremely convenient to the heart of town. The dock hands are attentive and helpful. With that said we noticed an overcharge on our credit card statement, which fortunately we caught. It was their mistake and they refunded the overcharge. In addition please be fully aware of the per night electric charges as they are expensive even for Nantucket. $24/ night for a single 30A cord. We didn’t even run air conditioners. These charges are not published anywhere.
Marina Response:
We appreciate your feedback & we are happy to hear that your experience with our staff was enjoyable. In regards to our electrical charges, it is listed on our website that electric is an additional charge, but we can certainly have our dock staff remind guests of the charges before connecting to power. Your feedback is important to us, and we always try our best to improve guest services. We hope you will return for a visit before the season's end.
