Harbor master has a great team! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Great location to enjoy downtown Baltimore for the day or overnight! Will absolutely returning in the future.

I tied up at Broadway East. The pier needs cleats for tying the lines or at least a better system for tying up. Difficult to tie to the wood posts. Also would be nice to have rubber fenders the entire length of the pier. Otherwise we really enjoy having access to the pier and location at Fells Point perfect.

Marina Response:

Thanks for your feedback. Next time I will assign Broadway Pier West instead of East, where there are numerous cleats and a recently repaired wooden fender system for transient vessels. Hope to see you again.

Love that Baltimore City dockage is now on Dockwa. Shoutout to the new Harbormaster for making the city accessible by boat again!

Marina Response:

Thanks Don. Year one of DOCKWA online reservation and payment platform has been positive.

The harbormaster was very nice and accommodating. The location was fabulous! We could walk to all the major attractions! We were on a finger pier with pylons for the lines. This is not a floating dock, but it worked out fine. The city uses the same bathrooms and laundry room as inner harbor marina, which is a little bit of a walk, but not bad.

Marina Response:

Thanks for coming to Baltimore! We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay. Come see us again soon!

We had a great time boating up from Annapolis with 9 friend to attend a day game of baseball at the Park. Thank you

Marina Response:

It was a pleasure meeting you and we hope to see you again soon! Thank you for your feedback as we relaunch the Harbormaster service and work to "choreograph the guest experience."

Wonderful day! Reserving was very easy. Can’t wait to return.

Marina Response:

Thank you Lori. September is beautiful in Baltimore, glad you got to enjoy the delightful weather. Please come see us again soon.

Mike is the absolute best! We took the boat to the Orioles game and being able to dock securely right at the inner harbor was perfect! Hopefully the new plans for redesign have similar arrangements.

Marina Response:

Thank you Shawn, go O's!

by Warren S. - Verified user on Jul 26, 2026

We had a great time docking and staying in Baltimore for the day 😊 Had lunch and visited the aquarium. The weather was perfect 😊 We even had a visit from the harbor master, very welcoming 😊 We'll be back😊

Marina Response:

Thank you for coming downtown! A delight to host you for the day. Come back soon.

My stay was excellent and the Baltimore Dock master was a great help. This app doesn’t work as well as it should (billing issues) but Dock master Steve straightened out its errors for us. We’ll be back

Marina Response:

Thanks for the feedback Paul. May I schedule a time to chat with you regarding improvements to the DOCKWA app? My number is 410-396-3174. Harbormaster Mike.

by Rob S. - Verified user on Jul 13, 2026

We used the Ann Street Pier for a day trip to Fells Point. Although there are no security measures (fence, etc.), the location was just fine for the day. The cleats for mooring are below the level of the pier on the horizontal wood structure and held us perfectly secure. The location is outstanding; lots of food, drink, and shopping to be had within a few blocks. There is no water or electricity available at this pier and we paid for 30A, so I'll be sure to leave that part out of my next reservation request...we WILL be back!

Marina Response:

An electric service refund has been processed. We only have electric at the Inner Harbor Finger Piers. Thanks for visiting to Fell's Point.

Harbor Master Mike was great to deal with for our reservation and with all questions we had. The dock master that evening was friendly and did great with helping us get docked. Great spot to listen to a concert at Pier 6!!

Marina Response:

Thank you for being one of the first to take advantage of our Pier Six docking pilot project. We are gathering data and hope to continue the program.

by Stephen D. - Verified user on Jun 14, 2026

Our stay for the day was great! The dock master was fantastic. Music from pier six sounded great. Highly recommend

Marina Response:

Thank you for coming downtown! We know you have choices and are so glad you chose Baltimore City Municipal Piers for your experience.

by Bryan T. - Verified user on Jun 09, 2026

Easy peasy. Responds to email quick and detailed.

Marina Response:

Thanks for your review. We work to "choreograph the guest experience," and that includes giving you all the info you need for stress-free docking.

by Vitya b. - Verified user on May 29, 2026

Awesome stay and communication from Mike. We will definitely be back soon 🙂

Marina Response:

Thanks Vitya, quite a concert last night at Pier Six! Glad you were able to dock right there for the show. See you next time.

by Chad L. on May 26, 2026

Docked at the municipal finger piers to go to an Orioles game. Great experience. Go O’s!

by Sal D. - Verified user on May 10, 2026

Exceptional customer service from the Harbormasters office this weekend. Steve greeted us at the dock and was very helpful. Lovely evening on the Baltimore waterfront.

by Nancy W. - Verified user on May 10, 2026

The finger piers are a great location to all the Inner Harbor has to offer. The docks are a little rough but still much better than some places. The Harbormaster did an excellent communicating before, during, and after to see if there was anything he could do to help us enjoy our stay.

Marina Response:

Thank you Nancy! The wooden Finger Piers are scheduled for removal in a major redevelopment of the Inner Harbor Park & Promenade scheduled to begin in 2027. We are working to maintain a state of good repair while knowing we can't invest in a full upgrade. That's a major driver in keeping our rates lower than surrounding marinas.

by Andrew V. - Verified user on May 05, 2026

Stayed at the finger piers. Great location all the way in the Inner Harbor - super easy access to restaurants. Felt safe with the locking gate. Peaceful at night. Mike was incredibly helpful!

Marina Response:

Thank you captain, enjoyed having you in town.

by Nick I. on Mar 19, 2026

Mike McGeady is great and I really appreciate his professionalism and the level of organization he has brought to Baltimore Harbor. He has filled a much needed place in Baltimore by becoming the Harbor Master and I think the online booking through Dockwa is super easy and convenient. Plus, I think the Baltimore piers and docks are being maintained better than they have been in years. I hope the ease of online reservations bring more folks downtown to experience what the Inner Harbor has to offer.

by Nathan P. - Verified user on Nov 20, 2025

Harbormaster Mike was awesome. Dock is super convenient and had power and water that worked well. Will definitely stay again!
