The Wharf is lovely as is Onancock. We enjoyed meals at Mallard’s and the Pub. Kerr House is well worth the visit. Charles the dock-master is a true gentleman and qualified.

by Skip V. - Verified user on May 09, 2023
Excellent small marina , floating docks, full services, clean secure bathrooms, Mallards restaurant next door, small park for pets, one of the best! Onancock is a stunning small town with beautiful homes and very little traffic. This is a must stop.

We got stuck in Onancock due to bad weather. What a great place to get stuck! This marina is excellently maintained! What appears as a new floating dock, able to handle large power and sail vessels, clean, well maintained personal bathrooms with showers, water, electric, gas, diesel and pump out. And free washer and dryer use. Charles, the Harbor Master, is very friendly and always ready to help with fuel, pump out or line handling. Also, the town is really nice. Beautiful old Virginia charm, and everyone we met was exceedingly friendly and welcoming. (A local crabber picked up a cushion we lost in very bad weather and took the time to bring it to the wharf for us). We had people stopping by to say hello and ask if we needed anything frequently. My wife and I highly recommend the Onancock Wharf and Marina, and the town of Onancock as a destination not to be missed!

What a great stop. Very nice floating docks. Free Laundry. Clean showers. Even laundered bath mats for the shower. Plenty of water coming up the creek. a little shallow at the docks. Supposed to have a loaner car later. Two brand new golf carts to rent to see the town. Fuel and pump out available. Restaurant right next door.

What a sweet super protected very modern marina superbly run by dockmaster Craig! Great super clean showers etc. A walk or bike ride up the hill to all the best places to eat and shop. What a great town Onancock is, we stayed here while it blew 25-30 on the bay and we had almost flat calm on the dock. We will be back Craig, thank you!

Great marina with a very accommodating harbor master. Three spotless shower/restrooms. Easy walk to multiple good restaurants.

by Richard M. on Oct 16, 2022
Onancock Wharf and Marina is perfect. Rest rooms/showers are immaculate, floating docks make line handling easy, and prices are fair, but the harbormaster, Craig, makes the place special. We're better at docking than we used to be, but we're always a little apprehensive. Another boat arrived just after we did. Craig took our lines, made us secure, asked if we were good for a minute, ran over to help the other people, got them straight, hustled back to us, and hooked up our electricity - this was all after he was supposed to be off, but he had stayed late waiting for us to arrive. Docking is much less stressful when you know you have a professional in your corner.

Nice docks, clean facilities & nice to have free laundry. Town is very cute with restaurants & shops nearby. Friendly locals.

Onancock Wharf is a favorite place to visit. The facility is very nice. A free laundry is available. Onancock is pretty little town. It is a great place to walk around. A short walk away is the Corner Bakery with excellent donuts (closed Sunday and Monday).

Onancock Wharf and Marina is a must stop over on the Eastern shore. Friendly staff, clean facilities and excellent restaurants within walking distance.

by Sherry H. - Verified user on Sep 21, 2022
This is a beautiful hidden gem on the Chesapeake. We would recommend the marina as a stop over. Dockmaster Craig was a great help with our lines, getting us settled and providing information on the walkable town. The docks are new and in great shape, electric was excellent and three separate baths with their own entry code-very new and clean. The town has alot of history and several great little shops and restaurants. We rode our bikes on beautiful country roads 2.5 miles to a Super Walmart to fill a prescription. This was one of our favorite stops this year from the Bahamas up to Boston!

by Mark P. on Sep 21, 2022
We had a wonderful stay at the marina. Craig the dockmaster is very accommodating and keeps the facilities in pristine condition ! We enjoyed town which includes a number of very good restaurants. We will definitely return.

by Josie J. on Sep 18, 2022
This marina is a wonderful little find with its own restaurant, floating docks, clean facilities and within walking distance of the town. The only drawback was the Dockmaster. We had a minor mechanical problem, he could not tell us the nearest parts store or mechanic and acted like he was totally disinterested and that none of it was his problem. A very unfriendly man but look past him and try this marina.

by Lisa G. on Sep 15, 2022
Peaceful, well kept marina. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Always great to have dockhands available to help out. Easy walk to town! Beautiful creek.

Great dock-master and crew. Fantastic setup and docks Courtesy car was nice as were golf carts Restrooms were very clean and free laundry to boot !

by K. M. on Aug 31, 2022
My first cruise to Onancock Wharf could not have been more pleasurable. Super clean marina, super clean bathhouse, and enormously helpful and friendly staff. Craig goes to great lengths to assure boaters have a great experience. I liked how access to three of the four bathrooms required an access code which is given exclusively to boaters. Onancock is a beautiful little town as well. And a shoutout to Johnny Mo and Mallards at the Wharf restaurant just a few steps away. Great food, fun atmosphere. All in all, an outrageously great weekend.

by Robert W. - Verified user on Aug 29, 2022
Fantastic all the way around. Great restaurant and museum next door, accommodating staff, quaint town on the Bay.

Everything was great. The marina is modern and well maintained and the bath house facilities are excellent. Dockmaster Craig was super helpful and his crew of guys took care of all of our needs. They made our stay very enjoyable. We love Onancock! We’ll be back soon!

by Arthur I. on Aug 28, 2022
This was my 3rd stay at Onancock Wharf, and like my visits before to this cute as a button little town, I know that with each visit I can count on all of the basic amenities being there, clean, with easy access But if there is a knock on the Wharf, which is more nitpicking than criticism, it would be that it does not have a small general store to serve the many boaters who visit, and that the slips lack separation to the public parking that also serves the wharf area. Without screening, visiting boaters are open to car and foot traffic until about 10pm at night, and the annoying parking lot light that stays on all night. Until the town addresses this issue with some kind of plant or fence screening, I would highly advise visiting boaters to plan on tying up bow first for privacy

Very nice little town.....especially the donut shop!!
Marina Response:
Thank you , glad you enjoyed your stay.

by Frank B. on Aug 06, 2022
Great little town- floating docks, helpful dock hands, Mallards at the Wharf Restaurant on the waterfront, short walk to town. Don’t miss the bakery in town for fresh donuts! If you have been curious about seeing Tangier Island, you can take a short ferry ride (Onancock-Tangier Ferry) from the town dock. We will be back!

by Scott M. on Aug 04, 2022
The staff and facility is always first rate. Been there many times and always a good time.

by Kirk C. - Verified user on Aug 04, 2022
Docks are nice and sturdy. Good crew helped us get tied up in a wind that was not kind for docking. However, the laundry room and restrooms have no AC. And the ice machine in the laundry room makes it 100 degrees + in that room. Fans in the restrooms probably help, but if you took a shower, you'd be sweating again by the time you got dried off!! Good place for a storm refuge, but not a place to visit for any extended period of time.
Marina Response:
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Under normal circumstances, we do have Central AC in the shower and laundry facilities. The repair part has on order since late May of this year. We are hopeful to have all back online very soon.

by Steve B. - Verified user on Jul 26, 2022
We found the crew to be extremely helpful, the facilities were clean and operational. The proximity to town makes the stay enjoyable.

Great facilities and a great Dockmaster

by Kathryn M. on Jul 10, 2022
Onancock Wharf is an excellent anchorage. The docking area has recently been renovated. The slips are wide and access is easy. Harbormaster and staff are friendly and helpful. When we first called, the dock was fully booked. The Harbormaster sent us to dockwa.com to put our name on a waiting list and also took my cell phone number in case a slip opened up -- which it did. The Harbormaster extended our stay at our request. Staff was helpful in getting our boat docked to refuel. Dock and bathroom facilities are well-maintained. A great place to tie up!

Great service, clean shower rooms, laundry facility at no charge, bring your own soap. Convenient walk to town.

Definitely one of our favorite places to visit on the entire Bay. We have now visited two years in a row and it is a long way from Annapolis. Well worth the trip to the peace, quiet and enjoyable town. Fabulous dinner at Charlotte Hall Hotel & Restaurant. Got to meet Charlotte and Gary and it was a treat to share one of their famous desserts with them.

Great little town within strolling distance & first class operation of the wharf- quick responses, good information, 2 to assist with dock lines, clean showers/restrooms, non-ethanol dinghy gas, pump out that works, fairly priced-what’s not to like?

by Karen R. on Aug 16, 2021
All around excellent and beautiful town to visit. Easy walk into town with many restaurants to choose from (and don't miss out on the fresh donuts from The Corner Bakery), or cross the bridge near the marina for another gorgeous residential area. Nice protected small marina, deep water approach, helpful staff, quiet at night. Anyone cruising the Eastern Shore has got to stop here.

by David B. - Verified user on Aug 11, 2021
Great Marina. Floating docks are very nice, dockhands extremely helpful. Half a dozen fantastic chef owned restaurants within walking distance, one of them being Mallards right there at the marina. A lot of shops and art galleries within a short walk. No marina store but they have golf carts for rent and a courtesy car that could get you to Walmart or grocery store (5 min drive)

by Kurt - Verified user on Aug 10, 2021
A wonderful place to spend a couple days. The marina is small but very nice and serves the town quite well. Excellent and helpful marina staff to go along with the nice facilities. Several good restaurants and shops in town and always friendly people around.

The marina staff were very pleasant and attentive. Our slip assignment was perfect for our deep draft sailboat. Cleanest restrooms of almost any marina we have visited. Cloth bath mats are a nice touch. Perhaps more trash cans for garbage on a holiday weekend. We really enjoy visiting Onancock.

The marina is small but well managed and the Dockmaster and crew were very attentive to our needs when tying up. My vessel is 50' and requires more than 15' in finger pier length in order to exit the boat. The marina was able to give me a slip in front of Mallard's Restaurant which allowed us the full length of the bulkhead in order that we could put down our ladder-steps. And did I say that Mallard's was AWESOME? Well.....it was! We ate three meals there! There is a nice dinghy dock located just past the marina (above the bridge) where I could dock our dinghy. This afforded safe boarding for my wife and our doggie who LOVES dinghy rides and swimming. As an aside, Onancock is a beautiful, well-maintained town with some of the most beautiful "old" homes you could ever see! There are several terrific restaurants there as well, two come to mind, Janet's General Store is a must for breakfast and the Italian restaurant known as "DiVinci's" was GREAT! We will definitely return for a longer stay~! Thank you Onancock Wharf and Marina for making our stay so pleasurable. PS - during departure the wind kicked up and my 1st Mate got our spring line jammed between the piling and the dock. We had no choice but to leave it on the dock. :(

by Tom R. on Jun 30, 2021
Our favorite marina on the Chesapeake Bay. The staff is extremely helpful, from arrival to departure. Exceptionally-clean restrooms and free washer/dryer available on-site.

we had 9 boats come for the weekend. from 33' express-46' convertibles. Had a great time. The marina is super accommodating, and bath houses we extremely clean. Nice, quiet marina. Mallards is next door to the marina, which had a band Friday night, entertaining, and Mallards was fantastic for our group, coming and going, adding chairs and tables. just really nice people. The town was sleepy and quiet which was nice, a few shops to walk in, and a farmer's market on Saturday morning after breakfast at Janet's was nice. a very walkable town.

Wonderful quaint marina with the amenities of a larger marina—clean bathrooms and showers as well as laundry. A very small ship’s store with essentials would be a nice touch, but no complaints. Burnham Guides kayak and bike shop sells a few essentials. Not really a convenience store in town unless you are biking so provision well when boating there.

We cruised to Onancock from Poquoson, Virginia at 8 knots on our 1984 Kadey-Krogen 42 . Great cruise and wonderful destination! Quiet, peaceful, scenic. A very clean marina! Great staff! The town was very, very nice - much like a welcome step back in time. Yes, we will return!

by John F. on May 29, 2021
We never pass up a chance to stop at Onancock Wharf when we are on a cruise. The facility is clean, convenient, and very reasonably priced. Dockmaster Craig is super helpful and friendly. The wharf is right in town so you can walk to a variety of good restaurants and shops and stroll the quiet neighborhood. Staying here also provides a convenient way to visit Tangier Island via Captain Mark Crockett's boat that is kept at the wharf. A great day trip with plenty of time to explore the charms of Tangier. Floating docks and free laundry are also very nice features.

by Clarke G. - Verified user on May 26, 2021
What a beautiful cruise up the river to this tiny little town. The marina is small and very well protected. The city isn’t totally open for the season but there’s enough to keep you entertained for a day of two. My wife actually found clothes she like. That’s a major score since she is really picky. There’s also some really pretty anchorage areas if you’d rather.

by Russell F. - Verified user on May 20, 2021
The floating docks are quite new and in good shape. The bathrooms are great and kept very clean. The only suggestion I would make for sailboats is to back in to the slip since they are plenty wide but the floating finger pier is only half the length of the slip. That will make getting off the boat much easier.

Fantastic early-season stay overall. Deb was great greeting us for an Easter Sunday late afternoon arrival, and Craig was super friendly while we were there. The facilities are up-to-date and everything was clean. The only bummer was the shower water didn't get very hot - not as hot as the sinks. Otherwise, it was fantastic and we'll be back.

Really nice quiet and quaint facility. Craig and Bill friendly and helpful. Floating aluminum docks in great shape. Laundry and head/shower top notch—clean and new. Mallard’s restaurant right there, short walk into lovely town for breakfast at Janet’s.

Harbormaster Craig was awesome. He was very helpful and professional. I cannot say how grateful we were to be in this location while underway on our weeklong cruise. My wife was in great pain and in need of an emergency prescription refill. The marina has a long list of volunteers who are willing to shuttle boaters at the marina to different places around town. Within no time at all Mr. John was at our boat ready and willing to help us out. He drove us to the drugstore four miles away, waited while the prescription was filled, and drove us back to our boat. The story ends well due to this helpful service.

Great setting. Small cozy and friendly marina. Easy walk to town where great restaurants and shops .

Onancock Wharf is a nice and clean little marina with new floating docks and showers. The folks in Onancock are extremely friendly and will gladly give boaters rides to local places.

the facility itself, and staff, as usual were wonderful. We always enjoy visiting shops, restaurants, and galleries in town. This visit was only marred by the gravel loading activities next door to the marina. A steam shovel transferring gravel to a barge created a tremendous amount of dust that coated our boat. Won't stop us from returning, but pretty annoying.

I had been to this beautiful little town by car a few years ago, and was determined to visit again by boat. Although a little off the beaten path moving our 44' Jeanneau sloop from Florida to Maine via the Chesapeake, the stop over was well worth it, and one the highlights of the trip. As a bonus the marina had even been upgraded since our prior visit - great facility and staff! Convenient excellent restaurant right at the wharf area, but don't miss the opportunity to take the short walk up the street to the beautiful village with more great restaurants and shops. The 5 mile trip up the creek looks daunting on the charts, but the channel is well marked, and the wharf area is very protective. Highly recommended as a destination or stop over, but reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekends.

The stay at the marina was great. The booking experience with Dockwa was not. Dockwa collected the 3 nights slip fee from me, but the marina had no idea that anything other than the initial night has been collected so they charged me (and effectively double-charged me). Now I have to work to get the money back. Summary - I will definitely go to Onancock again but I won't use Dockwa to do it.

Lovely stay. Harbormaster Deb caught our lines and got us settled in. Good power and water. Great location with a number of excellent restaurants and a movie theater. Deb knew we needed groceries and called someone in town who offered to let us borrow their car! How do you top that?

Ruth, Deb and Tex are doing a great job! TV reception at the marina stinks (not the marina's fault) and the Wifi is incredibly slow at most times. Maybe the City can improve this service. Disappointed that the code to the laundry was changed our last day/evening without any notification. Otherwise, Onancock is a great town to visit.

Great facilities! Ruth and her stuff go out of their way to make your stay a good one. Bathrooms, wfi, pumpout, washer & dryer all in great working condition.

Jeremy, Tex & Deb made the visit very nice. After a long day we were welcomed at the dock by the staff & neighbors to help us into the slip. Maybe it was my bad docking skills? Tex especially had a lot of local knowledge/stories to share. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean & Onancock is a very charming town. Will return again
