Marina Bay offers many food options.

One of the most enjoyable — and certainly delicious — boating experiences is cruising to a dock and dine. What’s not to love about tying up along a beautiful waterfront and enjoying stunning views while having an exceptional meal?

Wonderful drinks and a great staff await you at Sunset Pier.

If New England were to have a dock and dine capital, it would have to be Marina Bay in Quincy, Massachusetts. Not only is it a large, vibrant marina with more than 800 slips, easy access to Boston Harbor, and stunning views of the Boston skyline, but it is home to a massive collection of excellent restaurants, from high-class cuisine to family-friendly favorites to breweries. It’s a place where the worlds of boating and dining converge to form a destination like no other.

Perhaps best of all, it’s a dock and dine experience anyone can enjoy — even if you don’t own a boat.

The Marina Bay Ferry makes Marina Bay easily accessible to anyone, along with an enjoyable, scenic cruise through Boston Harbor. The ferry stops at Squantum Point Park, dropping visitors off just steps away from Marina Bay’s many restaurants.

The ferry also has stops at the Seaport, New England Aquarium, and Logan Airport, making it a fun and convenient way to spend the day exploring the harbor, and then capping it off with an unforgettable waterfront dining experience.
