Everyone was very helpful, the marina is close to Harbor shack and waterman’s. We were able to scooter over.

Donald thank you for your 5- star review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Swan Creek Marina in the future.by Art N. - Verified user on Jul 07, 2026
The marina is under new ownership and they seem to be making an effort to improve the marina but have some work to do. The staff was very helpful on our arrival, but seemed unprepared for a large cat. We made this reservation several months ago, so that came as a surprise to us. They had a 60' sailboat parked at the pump out all day, which prevented us from using the pump out. We found this odd as the pump out is listed as available 24x7.
The marina is isolated. There is nothing to do near the marina. There is a shuttle to down town, but it only operates on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is a long walk to town and there is no ride sharing in the area. The marina had five bikes available, but three of them had flat tires.
The bathrooms are clean and well maintained.
If you are looking for a nice marina and are there when the shuttle is running, this is a nice quiet spot. If you are looking to be closer to town and want more amenities, I recommend looking elsewhere.

Hi Art,
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for recognizing the improvements we're making under our new management. We're glad our team made you feel welcome, but we apologize that we weren't better prepared for your catamaran and that the pump-out dock wasn't available during your stay. We also appreciate you letting us know about the bikes, and we'll be addressing that with our team.
Your comments are valuable as we continue investing in Swan Creek Marina and improving the guest experience. We appreciate your visit and hope you'll give us another opportunity to welcome you back.by Jack C. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2026

We spent two nights on a mooring ball. Great lounge with laundry and courtesy bikes are terrific. Love the town.
Came back several weeks later and only 3 bikes available and all had flat tires. We were told they had no tire pump. Oh, but there's a free circulator bus (Rock Hall Rides) that we can catch a third of a mile down the road at Gratitude Marina. We hustled down to catch it only to find out it only runs on weekends. Did I mention that the temperature was in the mid 90s? So we walked back to the marina and took our dinghy to the dock at Haven Harbour to make our walk into town a little shorter. The lesson we learned is to make sure courtesy bikes are in working order before paying for a mooring.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the great review! We apologize for the flat tires on the bikes we will certainly get that corrected. Bike issues aside we are glad to learn that you enjoyed your stay with us.
One of the best parts of visiting our marina is having easy access to such a wonderful town, and we're happy to hear you enjoyed exploring it. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing visit in the future!by Doug C. - Verified user on Jun 12, 2026
Staff was helpful and facilities were good.
We were on a mooring ball when a fast moving storm blew in. Ball held without a hitch, slept like a baby.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that our team was helpful and that you enjoyed your stay with us.
We're certainly glad our mooring field performed exactly as it should when the storm rolled through. Knowing you felt secure enough to "sleep like a baby" afterward is one of the best compliments we could receive.
We appreciate you choosing our marina and look forward to welcoming you back for many more safe and enjoyable visits on the water!by Ralph E. - Verified user on Jun 07, 2026
Amazing and safe mooring balls. The sunsets here are absolutely beautiful and having a view of the channel, watching the boats come and go, make for a very enjoyable place to stay.

Ralph thanks for your 5-star review. It was our pleasure to host you! We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again.by Will K. - Verified user on May 31, 2026
Very quite Area. We stayed one night on mooring ball. Showers were very clean and plenty of hot water. Not much around. We were early in the season and on a Monday so not much open. Would recommend as a spot to stay before going north to the C&D.

We decided on a quick overnight trip to Rock Hall and a Swan Creek Marina mooring is just perfect for a spring visit. We arrived early than we expected, but Amanda was able to find a mooring for us right away, which allowed us to spend some more time wandering around the cute town.
We have our own bikes, but the fleet of marina bikes has grown and wasn’t exhausted during our visit.
We love visiting Rock Hall a few times a year and this marina does a great job hosting us every time!

Well kept facility. Docks are in great shape, electrical is modern. When I visited recently they noted my comment that I was single handing, and put me in a slip easier to get in and out of just by myself. Staff came out to help and got me in with no issue. Plenty of water for sailboats. Very sheltered no issue with building winds when I left. Bikes were available, and took one into town. Bathrooms clean and maintained. Will come back again next year.

Had a great stay at Swan Creek. Everyone is super nice and quaint area. Lots if bicycles available to use and town is only about 2 miles away and has pretty much everything you need. Nice boaters lounge there as well. Intended on staying 3 days and stayed 6. Catamaran 42' and 21' beam draw 4'.

We had a perfect stay. Very quiet place, the people are really nice, the bikes are so useful to go in town (10 min from groceries, liquor store, West marine, etc). There is a laundry on site.

We stayed on a mooring for two nights here and could not have been happier. It was close to the dinghy dock, which was close to the office and the clean showers and restrooms. There were a number of bikes available to borrow which made getting from the marina to downtown Rock Hall easy and quicker than on foot. We enjoyed lunch and the views at the Harbor Shack in Rock Hall. The sunsets here were the prettiest ones we’ve seen to date here in the Chesapeake Bay Area. The marina would have gladly accommodated us had we decided to stay longer due to incoming bad weather. We would gladly stay here again and recommend it highly.

We took a mooring ball for the night and found the location to be so picturesque both at sunset and sunrise

Enjoyed our stay on the mooring. Well protected from a crazy summer storm. Borrowed the marina bicycles to pick up some sandwiches down the road just before the storm hit.

Outstanding marina. Facilities were clean and comfortable. The bikes for a trip into and around Rock Hall were a great touch. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone couldn't be nicer and more helpful. Highly recommend Swam Creek Marina!

Stayed on a mooring ball for a week. The marina staff is very nice. We arrived and found the mooring pennant damaged. Went to another mooring. The staff fixed the mooring pennant within a couple days and thanked us for letting them know. There are plenty of free bicycles for use 24/7 right at the docks. The bathrooms had 2 stalls and 2 showers. It is air conditioned and clean, although somewhat dated. There are no laundry facilities. Grocery store, restaurants, ice cream shop, farm market, dollar store are all an easy bike ride away. Will definitely return.

Highly recommend the mooring balls at Swan Creek Marina. Good water depth and if you are on 1 - 7 it is a wonderful boat parade watching everyone go in and out.

Very nice spot. Friendly people. Had bikes to use to get to town. Stayed 2 nights on a mooring.

We always enjoy our stay at this family owned marina.

This is quite a lovely location, easiest to access of the marinas on Swan Creek. It's about 1.5 miles to "downtown" Rock Hall. If that's too much of a stretch-of-the-legs, there are loaner bicycles and--on weekends off-season--the $1-a-ride town tram. Picnic tables and gas grill are available under a grove of shade trees. The bathhouse is cozy but clean. Staff is friendly as are the full-time tenants. The piers are showing their age but overall, a pleasant stay on the quiet side of Rock Hall.

Another wonderful stay for Halcyon and crew!
