Great stop between Norfolk and Belhaven. Knowledgeable efficient courteous staff. Reasonable prices. Sometimes in busy transient seasons you will have to raft up. Other times there's lots of room. Clean restrooms. Super restaurant on site.

Anchorage Review for West Harbor - Fishers Island

Transient moorings available. Look for faded orange and blue mooring balls. Cost is $35. Call Pirates Cove. First come first served. Popular place for day trippers from CT. If no moorings avail you can pick up one of the other moorings until day folks leave. With the understanding that you'll leave if owner returns. Good wind protection except from north. There are wakes during the day.

Great anchorage. Holding is good. We had several fronts come through with no dragging anchor. Ferry wakes are negligible. Danfords Marina has a dinghy dock ($10 for 24hrs) just to the left of ferry landing. Lots of restaurants to choose from. Don't miss Rogers Frigate, classic old candy store. Cell service good enough for streaming. Beach access for pets.

Fairly well protected moorings. Launch available and operators very responsive. Restaurant open on the weekends. A few small stores within walking distance.

Very efficiently run marina. Elaine was very accommodating when we needed to extend our stay. Clean convenient restrooms and showers. Nice marina store. Very popular restaurant at the marina. Marine taxi available to get to downtown Portland. Portland is a very busy port. Lot of wakes from passing commercial and pleasure craft. Docks in Portland are a great place to test your scopolamine patches.
