Fall River Harbormaster

Hurricane Erin High Wind Advisory
As Hurricane Erin passes off the coast this week, our area is expected to experience periods of elevated winds. All boat owners utilizing mooring fields in the Battleship Cove area, as well as dockage along the Taunton River, are strongly advised to inspect their vessels without delay.

Please ensure that mooring lines, dock lines, and fenders are secure and reinforced as necessary. Adding additional lines and double-checking hardware is recommended to prevent damage to vessels and surrounding property.

The Harbormaster operates under the jurisdiction of the Fall River Police Department. The Fall River Police Department has made several administrative changes in the way that the Harbormaster Office conducts business so that we can provide the best possible service to the boating community. The public will notice a new and easier method to apply for and receive permits, as well as be placed on the mooring wait list. In addition, there will be many changes that take place throughout the boating season. These changes are all intended to make the boater’s experience in Fall River more enjoyable, safer, and hassle-free.
