We stayed on one of the mooring balls. The mooring field was well protected and close to the dinghy dock. The marina is within an easy walk to the Calvert Museum and local restaurants.
After our stay, we got hauled out to have routine work done on our sailing catamaran (22’ beam). The service work was done as scheduled and all the staff were professional and helpful.

Excellent marina. We arrived after hours but Dock Master had sent a note with a chart of our slip location and all the codes we needed. Excellent restaurants very walkable, including one superb one at the end of our dock. Showers clean and first class.

We have stayed at this marina on several occasions and it has always been excellent! The docks were updated a few years ago and are in very good shape. The staff are responsive and professional.
There is a nice pool as well as an excellent restaurant on site. The walk to town is short and enjoyable

We had a fantastic stay at Safe Harbor Zahniser's. The marina is clean, well-run, and the staff genuinely cares about boaters.
A special shout-out to General Manager James, who went above and beyond by giving us a ride to Giant - a huge help for us considering we are liveaboard and our monthly provisioning is a hard mission - we never had this level of service and care.
To top it off, dinner at Vela was exceptional. The carpaccio was hands-down the best I've ever had, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for such a high-quality dining experience.
Between the outstanding service, great facilities, and excellent food, Zahniser's is a place we recommend and we will return to whenever we're in Solomons.

Excellent Marina. Well managed with all the facilities and docks clean and squared away. Pool has full service bar, free laundry with plenty of machines. Dock master is very good and will work with transient captains to get best rates. Town has lots of restaurants. Bikes available to ride short distances to hardware store, West Marine and grocery stores.

This Safe Harbor is why we are members!!! Dave and his dock staff are outstanding in every way. The floating docks are excellent. The onsite restaurant is very good. The pool has not been open our two stays but it looks great. We need to stop here during the summer. Thank you Dave!!!

We only spent a short time at the marina but working with the dockmaster and staff for an after hour arrival was easy. The showers and boater's lounger were excellent. The location of the marina was very well protected.

Such web marina, facilities, and location. The mooring field is tight, especially when full of similar size ~40 ft boats. We had another boat *kiss* us in the night. Also, when coming around to pick up, watch out for shallow depth.

Very snug spot. We staid on a mooring and it was very comfortable with ready access to shore. Very helpful people working there. Free laundry and a great Italian restaurant on site.

We always enjoy staying at Zahniser’s. The GM, Dave, is wonderful and sets the tone. Everyone there is more than happy to help and accommodate whatever you need during your stay with them. Their dock hands are excellent. Their pool is lovely. The restaurant on site served a delicious meal. As well, my husband enjoyed borrowing one of their bicycles. All told, they always exceed our expectations.

We love staying here on the mooring balls. The marina is well maintained, the staff is welcoming, and the onsite restaurant is always one of our favorites.

As usual, the place was in great shape and clean. We came in to get out of the weather and they were very accommodating. Local area has both places to stock up and areas of entertainment. We’ll be back in the spring.
