A notice to boaters
Wellfleet says it currently has no harbormaster and is working to address the vacancy. Fire Chief Joseph Cappello signed the town’s November 8, 2026, notice to recreational and commercial mariners. The announcement gives no appointment date for a replacement.
Before leaving shore
The town asks boaters to share their route and expected return time, wear life jackets, check conditions and carry a working marine radio. Its notice directs mariners to monitor VHF Channel 16 and, in an emergency, contact the Coast Guard on that channel or call 911.
Check the town’s notice for further updates before a trip.
