Great cove boat club

Great Cove Boat Club is a small association of sail and power boat enthusiasts who dock their vessels at our marina along the Piscataqua River in Eliot, Maine. Founded in 1988, we have approximately 70 members occupying 89 slips and 14 moorings.

The Club's main goal is to provide a safe and sociable home port for its members. The Club hosts a variety of social gatherings, offers opportunities to develop good seamanship skills through classes and workshops, and provides facilities for berthing, maintaining and storing its members' vessels. The Club also strives to foster an appreciation of the marine environment and maritime interests, as well as the seafaring heritage of the Maine and New Hampshire region.
