Mystic Shipyard goes out of the way to make sure all your service and maintenance needs are met. While in the midst of a busy spring commissioning season, I was always ableto discuss my issues and needs with the yard manager, rigging shop and engine maintenance.

My first full year at MSY has been great, thanks to the whole crew and management. They keep putting money back into the place, which is really encouraging. Last February’s fire in the mast‑storage buildings was a huge hit, but they bounced back fast and kept improving the yard even while rebuilding.
My biggest worry going in was the lack of floating docks, but Ken, the dock master, set my lines perfectly. It hasn’t been an issue at all—other than the occasional super‑low tide or windy day, and even then, I never had to touch a thing.
This winter I had a dedicated bow thruster battery system installed and they also replace all my 8D sized batteries. They did this efficiently, carefully and professionally. I am happy to be here for another season.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Kenny was unbelievable helping us with our lines when we arrived and when we left. He made sure we had all the information we needed regarding the marina and the town. It was all helpful start to finish. Dimitri was also very helpful and polite. He made sure we had everything we needed.
We couldn’t be more impressed with what a well run operation Mystic Shipyard is. Thank you.

Initially our slip assignment was a point of confusion however once that was cleared up ( not easy because we require a deep slip) our stay was perfect. The proximity to the town, nice pool, freshly renovated showers were positives. The staff dockmaster and assistant were absolutely over the top in terms of helpful with repositioning and orienting us to the local area. Just outstanding!

Took 10 minutes to get a response on the radio. Property is a bit run down, no staff available on weekends to assist with anything

Excellent all around.

The marina was nice, bathrooms clean, services available. However, the five-star rating goes to one of your employees. Mary working in the office on a late Friday afternoon, we had both car services failed to respond and we were desperate as the wedding ceremony time approached one of our party went into the office described our situation. Mary offered to drive us to the Mystic Inn on a Friday @430. Long story, short, we arrived moments before the bride descended. Mary's generosity was remarkable. Bravo!
Cheers,
Doug Jones, vessel Satisfaction.
