    Moorings are easy to get to however pretty close. We were around several 44+ ft catamarans, no worries just much closer together than the Caribbean. Nice dinghy dock but our tender was out of commission so we used the launch service which was good but can add up per person.

    Well worth the visit. The history, Jaws, Kennedy. Nice mooring field with clean pennants. Great access by dinghy to the main dinghy dock. As the notes say, the dinghy dock for the showers has a 20 minute time limit. And the showers are the reason for no 5 stars. They could use a good cleaning. Better yet a face lift. Glad we stayed!

    Stayed on an Edgartown city mooring. Great location, convenient to the town with adequate dinghy access. Very reasonable price for the Northeast. Love this area and will stay again.

    Crew in harbor master's office is pleasant and responsive. Yellow town moorings are well maintained. Huge mooring field, so book early and request one near town. Oldport Launch services the harbor.

    This review is for the Edgartown mooring field. Very large mooring field. Launch service ($4 per person); some reservations on Dockwa but most seem to be on an ad hoc basis by the harbormaster. Pump out boat.

    Edgartown is one of my favorite harbors. The moorings rented for $40/night in 2018. Reservations strongly advised. Use Dockwa to reserve. Rafting is permitted if the person on that mooring is agreeable. 3 boats max. There is launch service which runs late and even later on weekends. They will drop you off in town, at the showers, or at the dock on Chappaquidik. There are showers at Edgartown Marine. In 2018 the shower facilities were in serious need of an upgrade. There is a large grocery store about 2 miles up Main St. A bit of a walk for sure but Uber & Lyft are there if needed. There is a nice beach by the ferry dock on Chappy. There are other very nice public beaches by the entrance to the harbor as well. The restaurants in Edgartown tend to be pricey but there are some reasonably priced ones as well. You just need to explore a bit.
