Great Marina, convenient and we had a skiff and 3 nacra sailboats and they let us keep them without additional charges

Well protected Marina with a fun restaurant. Marina staff let me down though. I arrived in pouring rain and no one came out to direct me to my slip or help tie up.

Landry and rest rooms are in good repair. Groceries are close. Public Transportation to the Tall Ship festival was fairly close at hand. All good.

Great Marina well organized. The only Marina that sends you aerial pictures of your spots and full details via messaging system. easy in and out (pay attention not to overstep into the water limit of the neighboring naval base. Became our preferred spot while moving our boat north and southbound.

Really excellent Marina, the staff were all very nice and helpful, and the docks and equipment were in super shape. Would not hesitate to stop here again.

Courteous staff. Mariners need to know the fuel dock closes at 5:00 PM and they do not open until 9:00 AM. The channel to the fuel dock is narrow

We called late in the day, to escape a 25 kn. Blow. They fit us in and waited for us. Fantastic service.

Nice/clean marina. Close to several nice restaurants and other shopping venues. Internet was good, once I broke the code on which WiFi to use. Only down check is shower facilities. Two showers, facing each other. Not sufficient and a tad awkward between if both showers are in use.

The bathroom/shower faciltiies need up grading. Had our shower on our vessel instead. Warm welcome from the staff. Cheers P Gaudreau Skipper S/V La Grande Fugue

Friendly, helpful staff.

Very nice people. Called in approach and got step by step instructions on where to go. Upon arrival, they gave us a rundown of the amenities. When I pulled up to the for fuel or pump out, they ran right up to assist. I would definitely recommend these guys. The only negative is that the showers could use some serious cleaning. Everything else was great!

As an experienced boater, I can confidently say that Morningstar Marinas | Little Creek is one of the most well-run and boater-friendly marinas on the Chesapeake. The facility is clean, well-organized, and incredibly easy to navigate — even for first-time visitors. The fairways are wide, the current and tides are mild, and docking is stress-free. A special thank you to Andrew, who went above and beyond to make our visit seamless. He promptly passed along the gate codes, offered clear communication before arrival, and personally assisted with docking when we pulled in. His professionalism and helpful attitude truly set the tone for a great stay. From start to finish, everything about Morningstar Marinas | Little Creek reflects top-notch service and attention to detail. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable boating experience in the Norfolk area!

This is a first class operation in a convenient location, highly recommended staging spot for southbound or up the Chesapeake passages. Good dock crew. Newer piers. Stable power and wifi. Secure. Clean restrooms. Nice restaurant on the premises. Overall, one of the better places in the lower Chesapeake.

After a “sporty” ride across the bay, to be greeted and helped on the dock by Taylor, Jacob, and Alexandria was awesome. Facilities are nice, staff has been super helpful (thanks Andrew for making room for us for an extra day!).
