Very convenient location to downtown Portsmouth. Doc facility is clean and and management attentive. Be careful with the current when approaching the dock!

My rating has nothing to do with the staff. In fact, the staff is very responsive and courteous I could not ask for more.. my rating is with the dock itself. There are no bumpers and the current weights are extremely active. I did have one bumper and had I not brought that my boat would’ve taken a beating. Facility should have more bumpers on the docks. Or at least padded docs

Such a great spot. Every waterfront town needs a setup like this.

The staff at Prescott were great and answered all of my questions. They had us on the wooden docks that held the boat great, but we got back late at night and there is absolutely no lighting there - nothing that cell phones didnt fix, but some light would make it perfect!

A little rough around the edges but a great spot to visit a great city

Terrifying to dock here in anything but slack current which is not consistent with slack tide. The boat traffic gives no regard to the boats tied up at the docks. Expect huge wakes that will violently smash your boat into the dock. The town is lovely but best visited by land.

Dock hand came right out and helped us dock. We left our shoes as well like dummies and were immediately text called and messaged. Will be returning today to get them. But overall awesome time will be returning thank you!

Great location next to the park, dock hand was quite helpful. Can be (very) spicey getting into some of the slips when the water is moving!

It was a beautiful, magical evening for Slow Mocean and Ledgehammer. The concert was outstanding; our little dock party was so uplifting. The folks at Dockwa were so kind and accommodating. We can't wait for our next visit.

Friendly and very organized!

If you don’t mind the bridge alarm at 5:30am and the tidal current which is rough at peak- and no showers - it’s a good location, less expensive and friendly

The docks are very well maintained and the location is incredible! Communication from the dock master was prompt and helpful. We had to cut a trip to Maine short so this was a last minute call and it was well worth it, the walk to downtown portsmouth isn’t more than 50 steps away. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
