We visited overnight and enjoyed the stay. The dockhand made creative use of the structure under the floating dock to keep our boat in great position through some significant storms. Our only complaint had to do with the restaurant. Another boat on C dock was getting routine service and deliveries from the staff, but we were told to order food and come back to pick it up. The Admiral was confused, but the food was good. Although I think we saw everything Chesapeake City has to offer, we will likely return.

Dock Master Clemens was a rock star...

Great place to stop before entering the C&D. But watch out for shallow water, there are no markers designating the channel in/out. I draw 4.5ft so stay as close as possible to the east side to avoid a grounding . Restaurant and bar were great, lots of local traffic here as well.

The dock hand staff is incredibly. Informative to the captain while docking the boat into the slip.

Dock hands are among the best we have found anywhere. Busy weekend with a boat show, fireworks, weddings and they kept their cool and got it done!.

Wonderful visit. Awesome dock staff, great dockside restaurant with. Boat-side food/drink service. Lively Saturday night crowd. Fun town to walk around with more options. Boaters bathroom is our only disappointment. Used by kitchen staff and public. Very unclean And only two rooms.

What a treasure. Staff, town and facility were nice. We stayed on generator overnight as they didn’t have 100 amp single.

Ryan was a rock star helping us in the rain tie our boat lines! Katie was a great server too!

Great spot to stop overnight. Ryan was professional and helpful while docking. Floating docks make it easy. Very quiet conditions made a restful night.

Team at dock could not be more helpful & gracious. Plus what is not to love about ordering beers delivered to your boat. Thank You

Great marina! Dockhand Ryan was very helpful and knowledgeable. He works hard! Great restaurant on site with live music. I can see where it could be pretty loud on weekends but it was fine for us during the week. Nice park nearby for walking the dog and a few cute shops downtown. Only negative is there were no dock carts. To access our boat on C dock we had to walk through the restaurant and that meant a few trips to carry provisions on board. Would definitely stay again though.

We appreciate the input! Ryan is one our finest on deck; glad to hear he helped encourage a great experience in Chesapeake City. Safe travels! - Clement, Dockmaster

Wonderful little town. This place is quite during the week but it is party central on the weekend. It definitely was Sunday Funday!

Nice marina. Great stop before you get to Delaware City Marina and off the Chesapeake Bay. Great floating docks. Clement the dockmaster is great at helping you get in and tied up and with local knowledge. Restaurant on site is very good and tiki bar is fun. Nice stop. Would stay there again.

We provide live music, slip-side food and drink service, and docking aid every day to ensure your satisfaction in an experience as unique as the Chesapeake Bay itself. Need a break from the boat? Feel free to take some time off the water and enjoy our historic town of Chesapeake City. With downtown just steps from the marina, its quaint streets offer unique shops, one-of-a-kind boutiques, and top-tier restaurants ready to make your retreat unforgettable.

Make it a day trip! Berth is free before 11pm and guests are accommodated on a first-come-first-serve basis. If the marina is full upon your arrival please take advantage of the Back Creek basin. Drop an anchor in its secluded lagoon adjacent to our docks and we will pick you up on our water taxi, free of charge.

Thinking of staying the night? You do not need to make a reservation to spend a night with us, but if you want to better your chances of receiving dockage, we recommend you reserve a slip. Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance and only for those intending to stay overnight. To reserve a slip feel free to reach out over the phone, via email, or through Dockwa. Power, water, and shower access are included in your dockage fee.
