Tidewater Marina

The location of the marina is good—close to the center of town. However, the bathroom/shower facilities are not that great. They could definitely use an upgrade. Also, when we went out for a short cruise on Saturday morning, they gave our slip away to another boat. We had told the marina staff twice that we were going out and we left our lines and power cables at the dock. When we returned we had to scramble to get some other lines ready and tie up at another location. We also had to postpone our lunch plans, because we had to wait for our spot to free up. We didn’t want to lose it again. Note that they only have 87 octane gas. If you need 89 octane, you can go to the city marina. It’s only a short distance south of Tidewater.

Very quiet and comfortable marina. Docks were in great shape. Basins are tight to maneuver around in (for a 50' boat), but it's doable. WiFi was fast, water pressure was great. Relaxing modest rocking from passing boats. Considered one of the mooring balls, and glad we settled on a slip - as we would have been rocked apart from all the boats in the river. Marine store is well stocked. On-site services available. Great location to walk around town. Bath houses are adequate. If we come back to the north end of the bay, we'll definitely stay here again.

Staff were very helpful with docking and communication. Bathrooms and showers were very clean and had AC. The marine store was well stocked. Best of all they had a courtesy can to help with shopping.
