We have been docking at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum for years. Josh, Gibby and Geo and Cody are amazing dockmasters! They go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

This is my favorite marina of all! To wander the museum grounds day and night, see lovely sunrises and sunsets, and visit St. Michaels. Can't be beat!

The museum is great. It's easy to spend a while day wandering around. The staff are all very friendly and willing to explain things. The dock master is very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

Another great stay at the museum! Josh always makes sure I'm secured for the projected weather. We had 3 days off 25-30 mph winds but we were very secure in our slip. The bath house was nice as was the walk around campus. It's nice knowing we are supporting this important facility while enjoying St Michael's. This is one visit I always make each year.

Love the place, the management, all employees. The boater is handled professionally, and these folks know their business, to include docks, tides and water predictions. Friendly as well. Facilities are a museum, but they accommodate boats very nicely. And the museum is awesome, recognizing the history of the Chesapeak Bay and the people who lived around it and on it. The dock and customer relations is managed by a local, who was raised in the area. He is a perfectionist both in how people should be treated, but especially customers. He knows his docks very well, and how weather might effect boats coming, going and actual docking. Excellent representation of the Museum. He is also excellent in handling issues that arrive, with the goal of safety and protecting boats and the Museum property. He is a valuable asset and apppreciated.

Josh, the Dockmaster, was very helpful and professional. We ended up staying an extra, unplanned night and Josh was able to accommodate our request. All in all, a very enjoyable visit.

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.

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

by Thomas W. - Verified user on Sep 13, 2026
Always a good stay and Josh and team getting you settled are the best.

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

by Steve L. - Verified user on Sep 10, 2026
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.

by Donovan D. - Verified user on Sep 09, 2026
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.

by Roy S. - Verified user on Sep 07, 2026
Only problem was AC in bathroom was broken and it was oppressive in there, especially after a shower. 😞 But otherwise we love it there!

by Joanna D. - Verified user on Sep 07, 2026
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.

by Robert J. - Verified user on Aug 31, 2026
Always great to spend a night or nights there. We do it often. Josh and his team are great! Facilities great and prices are the best in the area.
