When entering or leaving the Essex River, care must be taken when crossing
the sandbar in the Ipswich Bay. Due to weather and tide conditions, the
water is often rough with breaking waves over the bar. The Essex River is
marked by the U.S. Coast Guard to the seaward side of the Conomo Point.
From Conomo Point to the upper river areas, the mid-channel is marked by the
Town of Essex. Care must be used when navigating in the river due to the
narrow channel and shallow waters at low tides (dredged to 4' at MLW).
There are limited repair and support services available at the marinas with
gasoline available at Perkins Marine.
We hope that you enjoy your trip along the Essex River.
