The Port of New Bedford is an exceptional harbor to visit by water and Pope’s Island Marina is the place to experience it from!  Our 204 slip, floating dock marina offers award winning customer service, essential amenities and a marina-based launch service.  

New Bedford’s long and unique history from the days of whaling to its current 18-year run as America’s #1 fishing port makes it a destination offering a wide variety of things to see and do.  The historic, cobblestone streets of downtown offer a multitude of restaurants, shops, museums, galleries, concerts, and festivals.

The Port has hundreds of recreational vessels and numerous marine based businesses to service them.  So, if you need fuel, an electronics repairman or some fresh New Bedford Seafood right off the boat, Pope’s Island Marina is here for you.
