LOA: 34'
Draft: 5.5'

Rating: 5

CUTTYHUNK IS A UNIQUE PLACE. ONE OF THE ELIZABETH ISLANDS WHICH ARE ALL PRIVATELY OWNED EXCEPT FOR CUTTYHUNK. THE HARBOR IS WELL PROTECTED. THERE ARE PLENTY OF MOORINGS, WHICH INCLUDE A STAFF WITH AN EYE ON TOP, MAKING IT EASY TO THREAD YOUR OWN LINE THROUGH TO SECURE YOUR BOAT. MOORINGS LAST SUMMER WERE $45/NIGHT. THERE IS NO LAUNCH SERVICE. THERE IS A SHELLFISH FARM ON THE ISLAND AND THEY COME AROUND EVERY EVENING WITH RAW CLAMS AND OYSTERS FOR SALE. THEY OPEN THEM FOR YOU AND SERVE COMPLETE WITH LEMON AND COCKTAIL SAUCE. THEY ARE DELICIOUS AND GO WELL WITH ANY COCKTAIL OF YOUR CHOICE. THE MARINA IS SMALL AND ONLY A FEW SLIPS FOR SAILBOATS, SINCE IT IS SHALLOW AT DOCKSIDE. THERE IS A FUEL DOCK AS WELL WITH DIESEL, GAS, ICE & WATER. ONCE ASHORE THERE ARE SOME SMALL SHOPS RIGHT ON THE DOCK. THEY CHANGE EACH YEAR BUT BASICALLY IT'S ICE CREAM & TEE SHIRTS. THERE ARE 2 B & B'S ON THE ISLAND. ONE IS STILL CALLED BY IT'S ORIGINAL NAME, THE FISHERMAN'S CLUB. THE PLACE SITS ON TOP OF A HILL OVERLOOKING VINEYARD SOUND AND THE VIEW IS FANTASTIC. THEY ARE OPEN FOR BREAKFAST TO THE PUBLIC. DON'T MISS IT. THE FOOD IS GREAT. THERE IS GOOD HIKING ON THE ISLAND AND EASY TO ACCOMPLISH IN A DAY SINCE THE ISLAND IS SMALL
