Great marina and very helpful staff. Very nice bathhouse. Great location for the activities in town.

Cape Charles City Docks (CCCD) Experience was excellent driven completely by the “crew”. Often use CCCD as convenient stop-off point for cruises up the bay from Virginia Beach. July trip which coincided with World Cup Final (not a driver but a desire). Arrival and docking was greeted with but could only be consider “spectacular service”. Like many am used to dock hands who are well intended but poorly trained. We were greeted with NASCAR level professionals. They absolutely knew what they were doing. And then…. That was nice but each went out their way to provide seldom experienced. Constant was “what can we do to help”. Rig the spring line, hook up the electrical, get a bag of ice (large and reasonable). With total cheerful attitude of “how do we make your experience better….’ Back to World Cup. Excellent suggestions which included non-recommendations. Lead us to a great place (AJ’s on Peach Street). CCCD is doing a wonderful job in a great location.

Excellent stay as usual. Dockmaster Paula and her crew are the best and a great small town that we always enjoy!!

Great personnel , nice floating docks so easy to tie up, decent restaurant at the marina. Bath house could be nicer. Close to the beach. A pool would have been nice with the hot temperatures.
Marina Response:
Hi Angela! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review! I know what you mean about the pool with how hot it's been lately, but I'm glad y'all were able to enjoy the beach and catch that nice bay breeze. I hope you had fun checking out the town, too! Thanks again for staying with us. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we hope to see y'all again! Take care, Paula

Great young staff. Nice floating docks. Shanty restaurant right there BUT they play loud outdoor music after 10pm heard on the docks. Downtown is nice with lots of shops. AJ's bar has excellent smash burgers.
Marina Response:
Hi Ira! Thank you for taking the time to leave us this great review! I'm sorry you had to deal with a lot of noise, but otherwise I hope you had a wonderful visit! I couldn't agree more about the smashburger :) If you get a chance to come back, put in a request to be closer to the T-head to help reduce the noise from the restaurant. We always try to accommodate as many requests as possible. Enjoy the remainder of your summer! Take care, Paula

I really enjoy the town of Cape Charles and Cape Charles Town Docks makes our visit that much more enjoyable. The staff is helpful, Paula was extremely accommodating with our slip assignment, the heads and showers are clean with plenty of air conditioning and the washer and dryer worked perfectly! There is also a bike rental right there next to the marina which is super convenient. I am sure we will be back.

Many thanks to the Cape Charles Town Docks team for making our recent stay comfortable and convenient. The docks themselves were clean, modern, and well maintained while the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would highly recommend the CC town docks to any boaters visiting the lovely town of Cape Charles.

This is a gem of a marina! The rest area in front of the bath house keeps getting upgraded evey time I come through. The dock edge lighting is so welcoming and helpful. The staff keeps it all so clean. Perfect for a two-day or week-long stay as there are so many activities close by. Two of my Yacht clubs were there over the July 4th weekend and the staff was again awesome! From tie up to cast-off they were always handy.
Marina Response:
Good morning, Tim! Thank you for this awesome review! I enjoyed chatting with you on Friday. I hope your trip home was great! I'm looking forward to working with you again in a couple of months. Have a great Sunday! Take care, Paula

Cape Charles Municipal Marina is a great place to stay for the night. The on location restaurant, The Shanty, is the hot spot for Cape Charles. Great food and friendly atmosphere. Courteous Marina staff, clean showers and rest rooms.

OK, but overpriced. Concrete plant across the way is ugly and noisy.
Marina Response:
Hi William! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm sorry that your visit was not as relaxing as it could have been due to the noise, but I do hope you enjoyed your time exploring Cape Charles the past few days. Have a wonderful season and a great 4th of July! Take care, Paula

The marina is well run. All of the dock hands were competent, friendly, and helpful. The facilities were clean. The dock master was exceptional, answering all questions and providing the best accommodation for my boat. The location of the marina, adjacent to the town of Cape Charles is very nice as was the on site restaurant. Cape Charles is a great town and worth a several day stay. The Town Docks make it easy to do. Enjoy.
