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.

Excellent. Josh and Cody wet very helpful, courteous and great to work with. Always there to help and make sure we were able to get into the slip without impacting our boat or the facilities. Really appreciate their attitude and friendliness. Looking forward to our next trip

We try to sail down to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum every season. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Someone always meet us on the dock when we arrived and helps us tie off. The facilities are clean and the location is perfect.

We were able to easily dock with the help of Giddy. The slip was quiet and not rocky at night. We had a wonderful time walking around the museum grounds especially at dusk. We will definitely stay again.

We stay there about once a week with clients, mainly scout groups. The Dock master always greets us and helps us in. Museum is wonderful and very convenient to town.
