Brewer Dauntless Shipyard & Marina

Brewer Dauntless Shipyard and Marina consists of two very distinct properties locateed in Essex. The Shipyard has berths for 100 vessels, while the Marina has berths for 35 vessels. The Shipyard is the location of the service facilities, while the Marina has 55 moorings along with the fuel dock. The year round service staff are capable of your every maintenance need as well as cosmetic and technical upgrades. History is everywhere in Essex, which is one reason why it's such a great cruising destination or home port for your boat - there's so much to see and do in and around town. Many of the town's early buildings are still in active use, and marine-related storefronts are everywhere. In Essex, the past and the present merge. On the property are also several brokers of new and used boats, carrying top lines such as Grand Banks, Cabo, Sabre, Nonsuch, Hunt, Beneteau and Nordic Tug. A great eatery, Abby's Place, overlooks the river, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinners on an outdoor deck.

Proceed up the Connecticut River until you enter the Essex anchorage and mooring field. At Marker R26 you will see the first of two local channels leading off to the west, The first set will bring you to the Marina and our fuel dock, the second set (a little further north) leads you into the Shipyard and its dock. The Shipyard monitors VHF Ch 09; The Marina/fuel dock monitors VHF Ch 68.
