Mystic Seaport Museum Marina

Sail back in time . . . aboard your own vessel.

Mystic Seaport Museum is an ideal destination, especially by boat. Located on the charming and historic Mystic River, the Museum offers well-protected docks that are north of both the railroad and highway bridges and just a short distance from Long Island Sound.

While docked at the Mystic Seaport Museum Marina, you and your guests arriving aboard will receive complimentary Museum admission. We invite you to stroll through our working waterfront, climb aboard historic vessels, and explore exhibit galleries. You’ll also have the unique opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our grounds in the evening after visitors are gone for the day, an experience described by many to be the most magical part of their stay.

Dockage also includes free wireless internet, power, water, and additional amenities. Downtown Mystic, located just a short walk from Mystic Seaport Museum, offers a variety of dining and shopping options.

If you would like to plan an event on board your vessel while you are docked at the Museum, please contact Lancer Catering, our exclusive onsite caterer, by emailing msm.events@lancercatering.com

We look forward to your visit and will do everything possible to make your stay with us an enjoyable and memorable one.
