The marina hosts many small businesses & community events too. Boat Charters for all sorts of fishing, sightseeing, cruising, diving, birding and more.

The marina also hosts the annual Bluefin Blowout fishing tournament and other fishing tournaments as well.
The Resort is just a short walk away from downtown Gloucester, Stage Fort Park with all its beauty, beaches and playground. Gloucester is filled with more than 375 years of history as an important New England port with rich fishing and maritime tradition. Have fun exploring.
About Mile Marker One…
In 2010 the Dominicks concepted Mile Marker One, which started on the Bridge Deck and then hosted a small dining room directly on the water serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Since then it has grown into a great venue to Dock & Dine, host a family birthday, go on a date, chill with other friends and guests year round.
About the name… While on a family vacation in the Carolinas in the eighties, the Dominicks were reading a local guide and it told a story about the Intercoastal Waterway. The story in the guide lead them to learn that our hometown of Gloucester, MA marked the beginning of the Intercoastal Waterway and ends in Key West, FL…Technically, Mile Marker One is a little further than one mile from the official starting point, but to us we are proud to bring this watering hole to you on the water as Mile Marker One!
We welcome all travelers, guests, locals, captains and mates whether by land or sea to our waterfront restaurant and bar. Our goal was to create a year round venue for guests to eat, drink, chill and relax. This February 2020, we renovated and redesigned our year round (indoor) dining room & bar. The goal was to create a better functioning space that was warm and inviting. Our seasonal Bridge Deck is also part of Mile Marker One, open seasonally, this local hangout and hotspot in the summer months hosts deck dining for breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks all day. Also a raw bar, Rum Shack, and entertainment to make you always feel your on vacation.
The Dominicks and many of the boaters at the marina call, this their second home. The commitment to keep up with the marina industry, the customer demands and expectations are foremost in our planning. As boats get bigger with more efficient systems and engines; the waterfront pump-out and fueling capabilities evolve; and the desire, to have clean water and run environmentally friendly businesses onsite and year round, is a commitment the Dominicks are not about to give up on. Since 1972 when the doors opened, the public, the community, mariners, fishermen (famous and not so famous), guests, visitors and friends have made this destination, with a touch of salt, what it is today. Together they are poised to take all their businesses into the future.
