Our yacht club has been staying at Onancock Wharf the weekend before Labor Day for years. Always friendly and helpful staff. Mallards next door was great as always and took care of our large group. Be back again next year!

Marina Response:

Thank you for your visit! You certainly had a fun group. We are very glad you had a great time. See you next time. Best, Kellie

We had a nice stay at the marina. It is within walking distance to shops and restaurants in this small town. The Marina has everything you need, washer/dryer, fuel, water, power, pompous, helpful staff, a loaner car, and is located in a nice quiet harbor.

Marina Response:

Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully, we weren't pompous but indeed helpful and yes we do have complimentary Pump out! lol. Safe travels. Kellie

Excellent small marina, only 10 slips. Very peaceful, floating docks, full services, clean secure bathrooms, free washer/dryer, Mallards restaurant next door, small park for pets, one of the best! Onancock is a stunning small town with beautiful homes and very little traffic. Just a short walk into town for the bakery, Irish Pub, Foggy Place coffee shop. Kellie is the harbormaster and she runs a GREAT marina.

Marina Response:

Thank you for visit us and we are very happy you enjoyed your stay. Just for the record we have 12 floating docks and 2 fixed docks, but who's counting. lol. Travel safe until we see you again.

5 stars is not enough. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There's a nice restaurant very close by and several more within walking distance. Facilities were excellent and we rented a golf cart to tour around the town despite its walkabilty -- did it for fun and the kids had a blast. Great marina in a great little town.

by Mark J. - Verified user on Jun 04, 2026

Nice and tucked back into the creek but plenty of depth. Cute walkable town with restaurants and shops or use a loaner car to grab groceries. Facilities nice and clean (bath mats are a plus) and free laundry! Highly recommend for a quiet few days

Lovely spot, easy in and out at new floating docks. Very friendly staff. Great town and a loaner car to boot! The only thing we didn't know was that you could get to the showers via the laundry room locked door. (they closed a metal roll-up door by the showers, so we thought they were closed) Figured it out later!

by Kent V. - Verified user on May 28, 2026

We tied up to bulkhead. Quiet and secure. Small town. Not much choice for eating out but Mallards at the marina was a home run. Clean convenient bathrooms and laundry. Helpful staff. They have a courtesy car to get to local grocery stores.

Marina Response:

Thank you for your visit. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Just to clarify, we actually have quite a few choices for lunch and dinner.

We love staying here! We’ve been coming here for over 20 years. The floating docks are wonderful, the town is very charming, everyone is amazing, friendly and helpful. So many great restaurants! We love walking in the neighborhood close to the marina. We consider this a place to not be missed when we are cruising. And free laundry is always nice. You should definitely plan to come here!!!!!!!

Nice people managing the marina, great communication. CLEANEST restrooms on the loop so far! Well protected harbor up the Onancock Creek. It was blowing 20 knots in the bay and Barely a ripple in the marina. Definitely a great stop, town was walking distance and a nice SUV curtsy car for the 2 mile ride for groceries

by Brian D. on May 03, 2026

The marina is small, but nice and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. Easy walk into the town of Onancock. Big and clean bathrooms/showers!

What a lovely little town and a very nice marina. Easy walking distance to town. Marina is clean and docks are well maintained, free laundry and nice showers. There are two golf carts to rent and a loaner car that allows you to travel to grocery store and Walmart. I recommend this marina highly.

Onancock Wharf Marina is a definite must visit stop. We had planned to be there for a couple days but ended up staying three nights due to the admirals Onley hospital stay. The marina staff were very helpful, making sure we had the use of the loaner vehicle so I could visit and bring my wife back to the boat when she was discharged. Everything worked out except she didn't get to see much of Onancock. We did enjoy the Mallard restaurant next to the Wharf. We enjoyed coffee and doughnuts with the crew of the Knot Alone before we departed on 17th April. The town, creek, and historic homes are so picturesque. You can see and feel that there is a real pride of place in this little town. We will be back when we can experience everything Onancock has to offer. We look forward to returning.

Marina Response:

I hope your wife is feeling better. Yes, a return visit is a must. Until then, take care. Best, Kellie
