GLOUCESTER – Mayor Greg Verga and Harbormaster Thomas Ciarametaro Jr. announced today that the Harbormaster’s Office has been honored for operating one of the best marinas in the country for the sixth year in a row.
The office has been awarded the Elite Fleet designation by Marinas.com in the annual Boaters’ Choice Awards. The award is based on reviews by boaters who use the marina. Awardees must have had at least 10 reviews in 2022, and an average rating of at least 4.7 stars.
Fewer than 3 percent of marinas earn the Elite Fleet honor.
The Harbormaster is responsible for the Inner Harbor, near downtown; Southeast Harbor; and Western Harbor, off Stage Head.
“As a beautiful coastal community, it is great to see our Harbormaster recognized for their hard work maintaining the City’s facilities and supporting the boating community,” said Mayor Verga. “I am proud of their commitment and glad to see them receive this well-deserved award.”
Online reviews about the marina praised the friendly and professional staff, high-quality facilities, and convenience of the shuttle service to downtown.
“We do our best to help our boaters in every way possible, and this serves as a true testament to our hard work,” said Capt. Ciarametaro.
