Boats on Popes Island

Good Morning and have a great day

Today I will share a few shots of boats in the marinas on Pope's island, mainly focusing on two of the marinas, the Pope's Island Marina and Fleet Marina, both on the same side of the island

Starting with POpoes Island marina, which is the larger of the two

The facility features 204 slips, 810 feet of fixed pier, and over 300 moorings.
Launch Service: A marina-based launch connects boaters to New Bedford's historic downtown for approximately $3–$4 per person each way (children under 12 often ride for free).
Thats something I didn't know about, but I guess why would I, I do not have a boat and have no plans to buy one.

I did notice they seemed to be doing some upgrades there on visits last year and looking it up I found the upgrades include newly renovated bathrooms and showers as of 2025. Other onsite amenities include:
Coin-operated laundry
Free Wi-Fi and pump-out service
Picnic areas with gas grills

and also for those with childen it may be a bonus having a large, ADA-accessible playground and waterfront park adjacent to the marina.

And all that being said I just enjoy looking at the boats in the early morning light, even though I do ot have any interest in heading out on a boat anytime soon

Looks like a couple of really nice mini yachts hidden in with the other boats there. I can't imagine living that kind of lifestyle. I know it is quite expensive to own just a regular boat. Yachts are just a whole other level!

to start the day off right, especially given the rather cold weather in Montreal -4°F.
Have a great day

What pretty shots of so many nice boats. I've never been dumb enough to buy one though, as they say... Boat stands for "Bust out another thousand", maintenance on those things is killer. It is nice that they are upgrading the docks with those changes, it likely to attract more people to spend more time at their docks!

Awesome morning shots, beautiful as always. How's the weather holding up?

The scenery on that island is so beautiful. The blue sky looks so cool and the boats. And you captured some landscapes that look so detailed and beautiful.

The view is incredibly beautiful and I have never seen it before, let alone a house. Thank you for the information.
