Our facility offers 43 deep-water moorings and 9 slips in one of the most protected basins in the area, with direct, open access—no bridges—to the Gulf of Maine. Situated in the Back Channel just off the north side of the Piscataqua River mouth, across from Jamaica Island, our mooring balls are white, stamped with “KPYY,” and numbered 1101 through 1143. Sheltered on three and a half sides, this location is considered the area’s primary hurricane hole. All moorings use granite blocks, and all ground tackle is inspected annually each spring. Transient moorings are available for vessels up to 65 feet LOA, and slips accommodate boats up to 60 feet LOA. Mooring sizes vary in weight and swing area, so advanced reservations are highly recommended. We do not provide a launch service, so please bring a dinghy. A dinghy dock is available, and our restroom facility with shower, located at the front office entrance, is open 24/7. Kittery and nearby Portsmouth, NH, across the river, are renowned for their historic and cultural attractions, scenic beauty, restaurants, and shopping amenities. Public docks are available in Pepperrell Cove and in Portsmouth for those wishing to explore by water.
