    We were only going to be here for 1 night and there's a 2 night min charge for the moorings so we just paid the extra $20 to be in the marina. Good choice to have private hot showers and bathrooms. Great place and nice staff. We were a small boat in a 40' catamaran here Lol.

    Be wary of the tidal range up to 5 feet for fixed docks. Great location, nice competent staff.

    Nantucket is a charming place but almost everything is expensive, except moorings, which rent for around $50/night. There is launch service as well. Nantucket Boat Basin is beautiful, but expect to pay $5/ft. or more. Once ashore, there are grocery stores, shops, and restaurants just a short walk away. Be sure to make reservations if you want a slip. Mooring are generally available.
