History

Just like the historic area in which our marina is located, Fort Rachel has a notable past. It is said that the property the marina is on was used as a Fort to fight off the British attempting to enter Mystic Harbor during the War of 1812. Gunmen sat at the top of the granite ridge and forced the British vessels to retreat, securing the harbor and it's ships.

Fort Rachel was acquired by blp Marine, LLC in May of 2010. Under the ownership, our staff has expanded with many talented individuals. Our marina manager, John Lewis, has 25 years experience in the marine industry, as a partner in a marina as well as managing The Chandlery At Essex for 5 years.
