When it comes to friendly, knowledgeable staff, complete boating facilities, boating recreation and on-site dining no other marina is better than Bay Pointe Marina in Quincy, MA. Just a short distance from Boston or the Cape, Bay Pointe Marina offers a full array of yacht and boating services, coupled with an atmosphere of relaxation and hospitality.

Located at 64 Washington Court directly off of Rte 3A in Quincy, Bay Pointe Marina is remarkably convenient to reach regardless of which direction you are traveling from. This location offers the perfect balance of convenience and privacy. Personally, I’ve lived in the area for over twenty-five years and grew up near the ocean so I’ve spent my fair share of time on the water. In fact, as a South Shore native, there’s nothing I look forward to more than the season’s first boat ride and evenings docked up, enjoying a drink, good company and taking in the gorgeous views of the coast. Imagine my surprise (and delight!) when I took a right off of 3A onto Washington Court, drove through a quaint neighborhood and arrived at the impressive entrance of Bay Point Marina. I couldn’t believe that less than 10 minutes away from my house, on a street I drove by on almost a daily basis, this hidden treasure has been tucked away on the waterfront and expanding and I had no idea. Boy, had I been missing out!

Bay Pointe Marina is part of Suntex Marinas, which is a marina management company operating throughout the United States. “Bay Pointe Marina is truly a hidden jewel of the Northeast,” Chris Petty, President of Suntex Marinas, said. “It has proven to be a great addition to our growing portfolio of premier destination marinas. Suntex and Bay Pointe Marina are committed to enhancing our customer experience for our current guests and future customers alike.”

Marina amenities at Bay Pointe in Quincy include 269 wet slips, winter dry and wet storage, a 50-ton travel lift, in-slip phone and cable TV, 30/50 amp power, a fuel dock offering both gas and diesel, water hook-ups, pump-out services, slip-side boat cleaning, laundry, private restrooms and showers as well as security and on-site dining at the well-renowned restaurant The Inn at Bay Pointe. This restaurant is frequently featured on The Phantom Gourmet and is known throughout the South Shore and Boston areas for the fine cuisine, generous cocktails and unbeatable oceanfront scenery.

Seacrest Marine Services, a full service company that has been in business since 1988 is part of Bay Pointe and is also owned by Suntex Marinas. Seacrest has been building a tradition of excellence in the boating industry for well over two decades and specializes in everything from routine maintenance to complete re-fitting and restoration. The Bay Pointe employees at Seacrest know that basic year-round maintenance is essential to keep your boat in the water during the short, precious summer season and their full-time trained factory techs will care for our boat to keep it in top running condition. Maintenance and repair services include tune-ups, electrical and mechanical repair, waxing, buffing, bottom paint, fiberglass detail and repair, winterizing and shrink-wrapping. There is no job that is beyond their scope of experience or capabilities. The 7000-square foot indoor facility boasts some of the most experienced marine service experts in the industry—averaging 20 years experience each. They are a complete provider of all marine services and with a 50-ton travel lift, they are able to pick up your boat, service it, and return it to you with the utmost convenience and speed.

Additionally, the team at Bay Pointe is proud to announce their recent partnership with Bosun’s Marine (www.bosuns.com), a widely respected dealer of both high-end and pre-owned boats that will now be on premises at Bay Pointe Marina. Steve Chase of Bosun’s says, “All of us at Bosun’s Marine are anxiously awaiting the upcoming boating season and are extremely happy to announce our new partnership with Bay Pointe Marina in Quincy. Bay Pointe helps us fill the void between our Peabody and Cape Cod locations and will help us serve the South Shore’s boater more efficiently. Whether it is for sales, service, dock space or even a destination for a good meal, we look forward to seeing you at Bay Pointe.” Bosun’s Marine sells and services a wide variety of products including EdgeWater, Pursuit, Chaparral, Cutwater, Cruisers, Rampage, Regal, Riviera and Rossiter boats.

At Bay Pointe Marina you’ll enjoy a full array of yacht and boating services, coupled with an atmosphere of relaxation and hospitality. So cheers to longer days, warmer nights and to more time spent on the water. Check out Bay Pointe Marina—once you get there you won’t want to leave!
