To Get Here

Use US chart #13214 and pay strict attention to the buoys. The channel
is narrow and twisting; shoals abound just outside the channel.

The Mystic River Railroad Bridge will open on call, unless a train is
expected. The Mystic River Bascule Bridge (Route 1) opens at 20
minutes before each hour from 7:40 a.m. until 6:40 p.m. The Bascule
Bridge opens on call prior to 7:40 a.m. and after 6:40 p.m. Both
bridges monitor radio channels 9 and 13.

Due to an ever-increasing demand for our limited dock space,
reservations cannot be confirmed without a deposit of $100 or one
night’s dockage, whichever is less. Credit card deposits can be taken
by phone at 860-572-5391. Written reservation requests should be
accompanied by a check. Unless a late arrival is prearranged,
reservations are held until the 5:40 p.m. bridge opening

ANCHORING
Please note that there is limited anchorage above the Mystic River

law strictly prohibits anchoring in the channel. Anchoring in the
areas designated for Mystic Seaport exhibit craft is also prohibited.
Boarding exhibit ships or craft is not permitted after hours.

HEADS / SHOWERS
Heads and showers are located at the North Gate. A similar facility,
with a laundry machine, is available at the south end of the property
in the Shipyard area. (Please do not hang laundry on your boat while
at Mystic Seaport.)

The Mystic River is a no discharge zone. Use shoreside toilet
facilities or holding tank aboard. Free pump out facilities for
visiting yachts are located at our pump-out dock in the Shipyard at
the end of the Museum. Contact the Dock Office at 860.572.5391.

FAUCETS / OUTLETS
The wharves are equipped with freshwater faucets and 110-volt AC
electric outlet boxes at convenient locations. A limited number of
220-volt outlets are available.

ICE
If you wish to buy ice, contact a dock attendant or the Dock Office.

RECYCLING
Cans and bottles must be separated from trash and placed in labeled
barrels throughout docking areas.
