My father was boating alone on the North river last week, not in a rental boat but his own. He had…read moreanchored up and was fishing. It started raining, so he decided to leave, but could not get his motor started. He ended up pulling anchor and letting the current take him up the river trying to spot somebody to help him. He tried blowing his air horn a few times, but nobody heard or responded and it finally ran out of air. He drifted for quite a while, more than an hour, in heavy rain. When he finally drifted past Mary's he dropped the anchor and began waving his rain coat in the air to get somebody' attention. Somebody from Mary's took a skiff out to him and towed him all the way back to the boat launch on the South river. I am beyond grateful for the way they took care of him. He is in his 70's now, a former Navy guy, and somebody that always knew how to handle himself on the water. When they brought him back, he was cold and tired. I am so glad that the nice people there helped him out. He could have ended up with hypothermia very easily that day. On a side note, my dad and I used to rent boats from Mary's way back in the early 80's...they have been there a very long time and their rates are very reasonable. What impresses me most is how they treat people. They helped my dad out a lot. So much, that I decided I just had to write this review. Whoever it was that helped my Dad, Thank You!

Loved the new sail awning they put up a this summer. Made lunch much more enjoyable on a hot sunny day! Toddlers had a blast watching the boats coming in and out and the local teens jumping off of the bridge and it didn't matter when they spilled all over the floor. Bar is hidden to the left of the food station but keep looking til you find it. Bloody Mary was great and all other drinks were good too.

The staff are young and friendly. The tables and chairs are plastic. Serve wear plastic, and paper, including drinkware. It's the fresh air, the sun, the breeze off the water that you come here for. There is a dock for those who have their boats moored here, and a launch to get you to and from the mooring. They also have fuel for your boat here. I can not speak to any of those services. Parking is a dirt lot and parking attendants are always at hand to direct traffic. Rest rooms are accessed from outdoors, or when open, through the bar. This is a very low key location. If you are looking for a 'yacht club' vibe, you won't find that here. If you want a beer or other beve out on the deck, overlooking the water, it's a very laid back option.

I have been a regular at the Scituate Harbor Marina for longer than I can remember, since many, many family members are Scituate residents. Scituate is a beachy, laid back, very welcoming town on the ocean. You slow down from the hustle and bustle (hate that term, but you get it) when you come here. You know when you get closer to the marina, as your car tells you it's 5-10 degrees cooler from the sweltering heat of the city. The marina has a large parking lot. I have never had a problem parking there. The marina itself is very clean, as the harbormasters do a fabulous job, and are friends of the community. I have many family members who have had boats at this marina for years and years...they have never had ANY problems here as far as safety, noise control, cleanliness. From what I've learned... 1. There is a waiting list to get a slip for a boat here, so sign up before you're ready. 2. Get your reservation asap to launch your boat in the early summer, as those slots fill up quick. 3. No need to bring anything, as there is a grocery store, a Dunkin Donuts, many stores to buy clothes/bathing suits, a CVS, 2 banks, pet stores, bars, restaurants, a yoga shop, a liquor store, pizza shops all within walking distance. 4. The best time to check out the place is coming up in 2 weeks...the first weekend in August is Harborfest....there's an amusement park set up in the parking lot, lots of vendors selling food/crafts/jewelry/art etc, bands in the street, and fireworks at night. 5. Go down during low tide and head to the Spit...a quick boat ride to a sandbar full of parties. Dogs are allowed, and food and alcohol are a must-

The kids did get wet when the pirate squirted them with his squirt gun. My 4-year-old thought the pirate was real and was actually scared. My 8 year old enjoyed squirting the pirate in the eye with water. They pulled a treasure chest out of the water and were able to each grab some coins. Pulling the treasure chest out of the water was a big hit. The boat itself does not look like a "ship" with any kind of special pirate type decorations. They also had a crab trap in the water and let the kids handle the different types of crabs. On the way back to shore they had a limbo dance contest with the kids, and they all had fun. Overall, worth the money!
