Plymouth was a good stopping point to pick up a friend who sailed with us up to Maine. It is a small town with the basics and history. Although we went through during the offseason, the mooring field was packed. I can only imagine how busy it is during the summer.
Anchorages and Mooring
- On our way north we decided to anchor south of Plymouth. We had a miscommunication with a friend on whether or not they were going to hop on for a leg of our trip. The sun was starting to set and the entrance into Plymouth looked narrow on the charts. We found an anchorage that was protected from south winds.
- Coordinates of where we anchored here.
- Plymouth Town Wharf and Mooring
- You can make bookings through Dockwa or call on your way in to the harbor.
- $67.50/night in September 2024
Fuel
- Safe Harbor Plymouth
- The fuel dock is located right at the travel lifts. Navionics was confusing because it made it look like it was on a floating dock with the other boats but it is directly on the west side of the marina.
- Diesel was $3.80/gallon in September 2024.
Things to Do
- Plymouth Rock – Not as exciting as it sounds, but it is a part of American history.
- Mayflower II – A lot smaller than one would image it to be, but cool all the same.
