765.0. "Little Harbor NH "Dockage"" by AIMHI::STOWELL () Wed Mar 16 1988 15:18

    For anyone thinking of moving their boat up to New Hampshire, It's
    getting bad up in Little Harbor.  The company that bought out the
    new Marina has brought the prices "out of sight", at least for 
    this area.  They are getting $85 per ft for a slip, with a 36'
    minimum charge.  They also put in a new launch service.  It is
    $800 per year, and an additional $400 if you want to keep your
    dingy at the docks.  The hook here is the limited hours of
    operation, and the fact that they have taken out the public
    dock, almost forces you into the $1200.  
    
    I guess the best part is owning my mooring.

765.1	it could be worse	PLAYA::HARDY		`Thu Mar 17 1988 07:53`	26
	Your right. $85/ft sounds like a lot of money for NH. And, god knows I don't wanna pay $85/ft. (but I am). But there are several reasons why it's the best ddeal in town: 1) John Fenton will be dockmaster/slavedriver at Wentworth. (John has been running Shipyard Quarters (Charlestown) since the beginning. For those of you who have never stayed at Shipyard Quarters, it's the best run marina in Boston, if not NE <period>) 2) "Things are being done RIGHT"! Wentworth will be a first class operation, not just another mud hole with a couple of slips and a shower. They are spending some serious money and it will show. 3) I don't care if Signal Corp. owns Wentworth, or Marpel Assoc., or DEC for that matter. It's just my opinion, BUT! the best run/maintained marinas are owned by a Corps. that have a vested interest in maintaining the quality of marina. In Wentworth's case (and others), the vested interest is the $300k-$500k condos with the 'lovely view of the marina' (oh how romantic!!!) My only point is you get what you pay for (sometimes!). There are cheaper places to lease a slip, but not THAT much cheaper. Five/ten bucks a foot more or less? I think it'll be worth it a Wentworth. Gary H...
765.2	Little Harbor questions.	BOXORN::HAYS	Of what is and what should never be...	`Fri Feb 07 1992 11:18`	13
	I would like to learn more about how I could buy, rent or place a mooring in Little Harbor NH. What are the legalities of placing your own mooring in LH NH? I looked in the yellow pages and didn't see a listing that looked like it would be in Little Harbor. Is there a phone number for the Marina that? It looks like the place to be on the New Hampshire coast. Any comments? Phil (without boat, but thinking about it.)

	A mooring site in Little Harbor is obtained by contacting the Port Authority in Portsmouth. There was and probably still a long list. In a few years when your name comes up on the list you provide your own mooring. Last year there were many unused moorings. It's not legal but you may beable to find someone that will loan or rent their mooring.
