As always a wonderful visit. Josh, the harbor master, and his crew are expert in handling boats and in assisting in docking . The best on the bay.

We had a great time. The grounds are beautiful and Josh and Gibby are the best helping dock and get tied up and settled in!

Everything was good. I believe you have the best dock hands on the Chesapeake Bay.

The museum can't be faulted for it's docks or service. We had a great time.

Josh and his team were great. St. Michaels is always a great stop, especially on Labor Day. The Maritime Museum is a much quieter than the marinas around the corner.

Dockmaster Josh helped secure on a T-Head with a fabulous view of the Miles River. All went well during our visit and the ability to visit the museum while we were there is quite a bonus.

Only problem was AC in bathroom was broken and it was oppressive in there, especially after a shower. 😞
But otherwise we love it there!

As usual the staff is amazing. They helped us dock and everything went well. I have never complained about anything in regards to our stays at the museum but they must get the air conditioning working in the showers.

CBMM is one of our very favorite marinas. The museum is wonderful and everyone is kind and helpful.

We've been members of CBMM for some years now and always enjoyed sailing there. There have been steady improvements over the years and especially with the new exhibit building. We also found the staff there, especially Josh the dock master, quite helpful and friendly. However, parts of the museum grounds are showing their age and these are parts used by transient boats who dock there. I'm speaking about the bathrooms or more specifically the showers. They look like they were built in the 50's and the plumbing is tired. It all needs a physical and ascetic upgrade. CBMM recently purchased the historic "Crab Claw" restaurant next door and the word is that it'll probably be torn down. Maybe in its place they can find some room for more updated restrooms/showers for the transient boats who are also members/contributors to the museum. Either way I'd still recommend CBMM museum a worthy place to visit.

Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is a wonderful place. The staff is excellent and the facilities are top-notch. I come here multiple times every year.

Josh was amazing. Got us in very last minute in a very nice spot. Staff is really great. Only negative comment would be we did not have water on dock A. Luckily that wasn't an issue. Very glad we joined. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

Been here many times will return...but bathrooms near wood shopn were very messy and AC was out and it was hot...I realize stuff happens but I had a crew of five. Not the norm for CBM . Josh was great it helping tie up.

Wonderful stay at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Marina. The dock staff was friendly, helpful, and there when I needed assistance getting settled. The marina and facilities were very clean, well maintained, and surprisingly quiet and peaceful, especially in the evenings.
The location is fantastic—you’re right in the heart of the museum and just an easy walk into St. Michaels for restaurants, shops, and everything downtown. It’s a unique setting and a great way to experience the town from the water.
I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone cruising the Chesapeake.

Outstanding stay at CBMM once again. It’s truly our favorite spot when visiting St. Michael’s. Josh is exceptional - always attentive, incredibly helpful, and right there to assist with docking and tying up the boat. Absolutely a 5‑star experience.
