Tag: Gloucester Harbor Launch

Mayor Kirk pops her cork at the ceremony celebrating the start-up of the City’s new launch service.

Day boaters will now be able to come to Gloucester and have access to downtown using the launch. Boaters will be able to pick up available City guest moorings or drop anchor in the large Federal anchorage conveniently located in the center of the inner harbor, under the watchful eye of the Harbormaster’s staff. From these locations, boaters will be able to hail the launch on VHF channel 72 or call 978-942-0660 for a lift to one of Gloucester Harbor’s three public floats or the Historic Art Colony at Rocky Neck.

The launch is a first-class, 26-foot, 24-passenger, solid fiberglass “Duffy” built by Atlantic Boat Company. It was christened GLOUCESTERMAN by Mayor Kirk and Waterways Board Chair Anthony Gross.
