Seasonal Mooring information
The City of Fall River has a limited number of seasonal moorings in Battleship Cove. Additionally there is some limited mooring availability north of the cove near the city pier. We are making available the Mooring Application Form that can be printed, filled out and sent to the Harbormaster Office for assignment on the Mooring Waiting List.
A $25.00 fee must accompany the form. Once the form is received and processed, your name will be added to the Mooring Wait List. Each year a waiting list renewal form will be generated and emailed to you. If you want to remain on the waiting list, please fill out the renewal form, enclose a check for $25.00 and return the form and payment to the Harbormaster office. It is your responsibility to renew each year. Renewal forms can be downloaded and mailed in at any time. The Mooring Wait List will be published on this site so that you may check your status on the list at any time.
Please note: There is no walk-in service for mooring related issues at the police department. Please use the form below, or the telephone number below if you have any questions or concerns.

As of 2/1/2021 we currently have some seasonal mooring locations available in Battleship Cove. Each mooring location will accommodate a specific type (power/sail) and size of boat. Each mooring location is assigned a specific swing radius. You must have a boat ready to put on the mooring and use this season. Please fill out the Mooring Wait List Application and mail in. Keep in mind that the City only assigns a mooring location (not the mooring tackle). You must call a mooring installer of your choice to purchase and install the mooring itself. The average cost of a mooring installed is $1500-$2000 from most mooring companies. The mooring holder owns this tackle and takes it with them if they give up the mooring. If you have questions, please give is a call at 508-207-7730.
Mooring Waiting List Application - Use this form to be placed on the wait list for a new mooring.
2021 Mooring Application Use this form if you have already been assigned a mooring location.
Mooring transfer Application (only use this form if you have made arrangements with the Harbormaster Dept. for a mooring transfer. The Fall River Harbor Ordinance allows mooring holders to change or swap moorings provided it has been approved by the Harbormaster.)
