Amenities & Grounds
The Yankee Clipper Inn offers a seasonal salt-water pool with ocean views, though it is closed for 2026. Guests can play on a new bocce court or gather at the oceanfront gazebo facing the Atlantic. The property includes a garden, picnic area, sun terrace, and BBQ facilities for outdoor use.
Guest Rooms
Accommodations are spread across three buildings: the historic 1929 Main Building, the Quarterdeck House, and the Bulfinch House. The 26 guest suites combine historic art deco design with 55' flat-screen TVs and private balconies in select rooms. Room names like Flying Cloud and Sovereign of the Seas reflect the inn's nautical heritage.
Dining
A complimentary made-to-order breakfast is served each morning, featuring eggs, pancakes, bacon, omelets, fresh fruit, and a daily special. The dining room offers tables along wide windows overlooking the Atlantic. On weekends, a bar serves food such as watermelon gazpacho and hummus platters.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The inn sits 1 mile from downtown Rockport and 4 miles from Gloucester, with easy access to Cape Ann swimming beaches. Guests can visit the Thacher Island twin lighthouses or join Cape Ann whale watching excursions. Nearby dining includes lobster at Roy Moore's Fish Shack.
Families & Groups
Families are welcome with board games, a kid-friendly buffet at breakfast, and suites that can accommodate multiple generations. The inn has hosted large family groups across its three houses, with rooms like the Ticonderoga offering a queen bed plus a twin bedroom. Children enjoy the outdoor pool (when open), lawn chess, and the expansive grounds.

“The allure here is undeniably the direct oceanfront setting, offering a front-row seat to the rhythm of the tides and the daily ballet of lobster fishermen. Mornings at the dining room, with its sweeping Atlantic views and impeccable service, felt like a well-choreographed start to the day. The thoughtfully appointed suites and attentive management truly make one feel personally cared for, a rare find.”
