A Waterfront Retreat Surrounded by Nature

More Than a Marina and the Legacy of Care We Take
While many marinas focus only on function, Gooseberry blends functionality with charm. Our up-to-date docks are complemented by gardens and outdoor spaces where you can gather, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Whether you’re grilling by the docks, sitting on your cottage deck, or simply strolling through the property, the gardens create an inviting backdrop that enhances every moment.
Deborah’s love for flowers and plants made the grounds one of her favorite parts of Gooseberry, and we continue that tradition today. The care that goes into the landscaping reflects the same values that guide the marina itself: attention to detail, a welcoming atmosphere, and pride in creating a place where guests feel at home.
