Great marina and service. Beautiful spot to catch an early fall sunset and sunrise. Gorgeous!

A lovely spot on Casco Bay. Very prompt launch service to get you to and from your mooring. Great and convenient stop-over location. Also, a very nice restaurant right at the marina. Great food and excellent service.

Could not have been a better experience. The dock staff was always available and helpful. Electric, water and fuel available on the dock. The dock store had drinks and goodies. Good restaurant, right there. Thank you for your hospitality.

Uneventful. The crew at Handy Boat are courteous and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in Falmouth.

Beautiful and clean facilities. Easy to approach. The boat launch pickup service was very nice. Our only complaint was that it was difficult to find our transient mooring in such a huge field. The staff also seemed to have difficulty remembering where our mooring was located. A map would be very helpful in the future. In whole, we had a good experience.

May take some work to find your mooring. Once settled, nice harbor and launch attendants were superb

Another great stay at HB. Dock staff are friendly and eager to help guests. Launch drivers are amazing, i don’t know how they keep up with a big a mooring field as they have but they seem to always be right there when you need them. Thank you.

It was great. The launch service was among the best we've ever had.

The mooring field is completely open to the elements and proved to be very uncomfortable. I am thinking they don’t have any protection from wind and wave with winds coming from any direction. Very nice staff and their cafe food is out of this world.

Excellent moorings lines, safely positioned and friendly and timely launch service.

Great place to stay. Friendly staff. Very good restaurant.

by Matthew B. - Verified user on Jun 15, 2025
The place and people were great. The fuel/main dock is big, clean and they are very helpful. They respond really fast to pickup requests. They man VHF channel 9 and the phone with equal alacrity. The ratio of helpfulness to attitude is very high here for New England. Showers and bathrooms are open all night. It was VERY quiet (June 14th) and clean everywhere. The food was good as well. A++

I had a mooring reservation but needed to charge batteries as we had a voltage regulator issue. Handy Boat had us on the dock and helping to charge up and diagnose issue. Fantastic.

New experience. I am not sure, I did note my inflatable was outside in May under the bow.

Great mooring. Friendly and helpful staff and a nice restaurant. Had some repair work also done which was completed on time and efficiently.

I love staying at Handy's! I have been on one of their moorings for almost 20 years now in June and then in September and October. Great folks, great moorings, wonderful service!

This was an unexpected anddelightful pleasure! A beautiful mooring setting, full on launch service with very friendly folks with local knowledge, showers et al, and a top star restaurant right there! We'll definitely come back for another visit! Many thanks for the hospitality! Peter & Carin. Lebanon NH
