Everything was perfect as always

Beautiful marina in a quaint town with lots of charm. Dock hands were on alert and very helpful. The facilities are very comfortable. Grab some bikes they have on-site, visit the ice cream shop down the street and enjoy in the park at sunset.

Restrooms and community center were very nice. Pool was good. Being charged for rusty bike use was not good. Nearest and only restaurant is several miles away (Docs was very good. Great if staying for 1 night. But very limited if staying multiple nights). Dock hands were mostly distant and not very helpful.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your review. Several restaurants did close at the end of last season and have yet to complete their renovations following changes of ownership. We hope these will be operational later this year, but in the interim, Docs Sunset Grill is good and very popular.
Why do we charge for our bicycles? Over the years we've tried charging and not-charging, but it seems when something is given away for free it has no value and therefore no responsibility for the item to be returned to our property. I can assure you that the very modest fee neither contributes significantly to our bottom line, nor remotely offsets the annual cost of maintenance, but they are getting rather old and they will soon be replaced with new machines.by Scott S. - Verified user on Jul 10, 2026
All good, dock crew was great.

This was the favorite stop on our "baycation". Friendly and helpful dockhands, beautiful waterfront pool, very nice bath house/showers, bikes for exploring town, premium floating docks. We will be coming back!

Very nice floating docks marina, new large bathrooms & great Captains lounge. Nice pool. Oxford is quiet and charming. Not much in town - except for Scottish Highland Creamery which has excellent ice cream! There is a full service boatyard next door. If you want a small, peace and quiet stop this is for you.

THis marina has great services, but the town of Oxford no longer provides any good nearby restaurants. Therefore, we will not be returning to this area again. It just does not have anything to attract a cruiser.l

Really enjoyed the marina. The office manager (or finance manager) met me to help dock. Such great people. Nice facilities and great location. Only downside was the Robert Morris Inn was closed.

Quiet, sleepy town with a few shops downtown, ice cream store, ferry to Bellevue, early 1900’s homes with small yards and maintained landscaping. One great restaurant Doc’s Bar & Grill about 1.2 miles from Marina. Complimentary bicycles & courtesy vehicle for Safe Harbor members. Nice and clean with keypad locked Clubhouse for boaters. Laundry room with AC beside 3 huge private restrooms. Pool was nice but deck needs replaced. Staff were kind, helpful, professional and readily available considering the size of the Marina. Depth was 20’ and T-docks can accommodate > 100’ boats. Failure to Launch movie from 2006 filmed at Oxford Boatyard! Would recommend as a restful pace with not a lot of activity.
Marina Response:
Hello Steve, Thanks for the nice review. Glad you enjoyed our facilities and will say the pool is a never ending project of love that hopefully at some point we can get fully redecked. We are in the process of completing our yard renovations which hopefully will be done by spring of 2026.

Stayed two nights; first time at this marina. Office staff and dock hands were very helpful, appreciated the help getting in with the wind pushing us. Beautiful clubhouse, looks new, large sitting areas in & out, laundry and bath house right by it, restrooms also close to pool. Pool was awesome, very clean, lots of seating and umbrellas and met other friendly boaters there as well. There's a huge picnic area under a tent with grills and seating. Bikes available, we took them on the ferry to Bellevue (ferry only a half mile from marina) and rode 8 miles (took an hour) to St Michael's, quaint little town with lots of shops, dining, bars and museums. Doc's Sunset Grill was 1.5 miles from marina, a jumping place with plenty of seating in and out, entertainment, great water views too. Oxford is a pretty town, very walkable. Fuel dock there as well.
Great marina, highly recommend!

We recently stayed at Safe Harbor Oxford and were impressed by the friendly staff, well-maintained facilities, and beautiful setting on the Tred Avon River with active professional "crabbers" . The marina offers excellent amenities, including a pool, clean docks, and reliable marine services, all within walking distance of Oxford’s charming historic waterfront and cute museum. A great stop for Chesapeake Bay cruisers looking for a comfortable and welcoming marina experience.

Stayed at the newer acquired marina, Oxford Boatyard and they charged the same as to stay at the main marina. $182 a night. Docks are run down, you have to walk 10 minutes to the pool and nice restrooms. Stay away
Marina Response:
Tara, I'm sorry you were disappointed in your stay but there are some inaccuracies and omissions which I would like to comment on: The facilities you stayed at - collectively known as Safe Harbor Oxford - were formerly known as "Brewer Oxford Boatyard and Marina", a company that was formed in January 2014 after the acquisition of Mears Yacht Haven Oxford and Oxford Boatyard by Brewer Yacht Yards. Not therefore a new acquisition, but currently receiving significant investment in the form of new bulkheads, 26ft wide 75 ton Travelift, new floating docks (for Spring 2027), and heated indoor storage (Fall 2026). While there is some physical separation between our marina and boatyard, I've visited and stayed at single marinas that are larger and take longer to walk around than the distance we are talking about. Google maps says it's a 4 minute walk between our two sites, so maybe you took the scenic tour? Either way, we do have bicycles available for those that want to explore, or just shorten the trip.

Very nice facilities and staff.

Nice Marina, pool, convenient fuel dock, huge clean individual bathrooms. It was our first time in Oxford, one restaurant, and not much to do off the water.

As always great stay at Safe Harbor Oxford. Dock crew is efficient and experienced at line handling. Facilities are clean and comfortable. Rental bikes are available and free for SHM.

Professional staff and lovely facilities
by Ken B. - Verified user on Jun 01, 2026
One of our favorite stops. The staff keeps the marina in top shape. There is a very nice pool, and the restroom/shower facilities are the nicest on the bay.

Enjoyable stay Clean facility Friendly staff Quiet well lit harbor Recommend offering non ethanol mid grade marine gas for us outboard powered sailboats

Hello, Randall
Thank you for the nice review. Unfortunately our delivery company will not deliver us non ethanol due to the size of our tanks and limitations of getting large trucks to our facility.by Mark M. - Verified user on May 01, 2026
Oxford is a beautiful little town. We were impressed. It is early in the season, so limited hours on restaurants. The Marina was clean and well maintained. 2 Dock hands assisted with tie up.

Nice, new docks. Clean, large bathrooms/showers. Easy access.

We arrived after hours. Had a nice discussion with the office, gave us great directions. Docked on our own and left at sunrise. Appreciate you all at Safe Harbor Oxford.
