Cape Ann Marina

Cape Ann Marina, situated at 75 Essex Avenue in Gloucester, Massachusetts, stands as a testament to the rich maritime history of the region. Since 1972, this family-owned and operated marina has been a cornerstone for travelers and mariners alike, offering a blend of modern amenities and timeless charm. The marina’s evolution is marked by its adaptation to the changing needs of boaters, with advanced waterfront pump-out and fueling capabilities, and a commitment to environmental sustainability.

At the heart of the marina is Mile Marker One, a dining venue that has grown from a small breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot to a vibrant gathering place for dockside dining, family celebrations, and casual get-togethers. This marina, voted Best Marina by Northshore magazine from 2013 to 2024, is more than a docking place—it is a community hub where the traditions of Gloucester’s storied fishing heritage meet contemporary comfort and hospitality. As part of the historic Cape Ann peninsula, it reflects the enduring spirit of a region that has braved the seas for centuries. Here, guests can experience the authentic essence of a maritime town, steeped in history and natural beauty.
