Boat Pumpout Facilities

Find information about convenient options for boat sewage disposal in coastal Massachusetts.

Boat pumpout facilities provide a convenient way to properly dispose of boat sewage. Many of the more than 120 pumpouts in Massachusetts are pumpout boats. These vessels have the capacity to bring the pumpout to the boater, providing added convenience. An interactive Google^TM Map of Pumpouts for Recreational Boats and a Google^TM Map for Commercial Vessel Pumpouts are available that display pumpout locations along the Commonwealth's coast. In addition, the Clean Vessel Act Program produces a Boaters Pocket Guide to Pumpout Facilities.
