Windward Yacht Yard
Newburyport, MA
Windward Yacht Yard offers 160 slips and moorings just 3 miles from the mouth of the Merrimack River, with docks on both sides of the Route 1 Bridge. It provides storage, repairs, a clubhouse, laundry, ice, cable TV, and easy access to downtown Newburyport and dockside dining.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
