Tidewater has a first rate setup, but they have given over control of one of their dock bathrooms to Freedom Boating Club. Only 4 toilet seats available to the whole marina's men when freedom Boating Club is closed.

No line handlers after 5PM even we give our arrival time 6:30 pm. No assistance at all. Morning &am nobody to assist with lines so we dock and undock by ourselves.
Marina Response:
Hi Orlando, the team spoke to you several times during the day of your arrival and we were not made aware of a request for after-hours line handlers for arrival or departure. We strive to make every effort to serve our customers needs. We hope to see you and your beautiful yacht on a future visit and look forward to being of service again in the future.by Steve G. - Verified user on Jun 23, 2026

I had to call outside of the 48-hour window to cancel my reservation due to high wind conditions. I was disappointed that Tidewater Yacht Marin a would not even consider a partial refund.
Marina Response:
Christopher - We understand your disappointment; however, the cancellation policy for Harborfest reservations is clearly outlined at the time of booking. Since your cancellation occurred outside the refund window, we were unable to issue a refund as stated on the phone at time of cancellation. We apply the same policy to all guests, regardless of the reason for cancellation.by Nohn K. - Verified user on Jun 23, 2026

Best kept secret in Hampton Roads! Rick Monday, Caitlyn, Kathryn and their team are always hands on deck to assist. The docks are beautiful - great location - and a wonderful restaurant attached ( shout out to Jessica of Fish and Slips)

We felt very fortunate to get a slip during Harborfest and arrived after the marina was closed but staff texted slip assignment and bath house code so we were good to go! Our dock (west access) was a fixed dock and slightly rough but manageable. The restaurant is excellent and the view across to Norfolk for the parade of tall ships was amazing

TYM was very busy for Sail250, Juneteenth, and Harborfest. Despite the multitude of boats arriving, their dockhands were extremely responsive and skilled at their jobs. TYM social events were enjoyable and the tall ships and fireworks shows made the weekend even more special.

Great arrival instructions and terrific staff. A lot of fun energy here. Great viewing of the ship traffic along the ICW

No power at our end of A dock, many of our dock mates had the same issue To be fair we got there late, but the others who were early just shrugged when asked what they were going to do about it
Stuff happens, but there should be communication, especially after calling and leaving messages with no response

Great place to tie up.

Communications upon arrival were excellent, staff met us at the pier and assisted with docking, excellent facilities, just another great Cock Island Race weekend! Thank you Tidewater Yacht Marina for making more super memories!

The staff was wonderful from the time I booked my slip until the time I cast off. The marina is clean and well-maintained. The dockhands are exceptional.

Great staff and location in Portsmouth.
by John P. - Verified user on Jun 07, 2026
Docks were very good. One person came out to assist in docking. The welcome package had two stale cookies and general info about the area. We each had a drink at the Restaurant bar ($40 for the two drinks was excessive). The kicker was when they decided to power wash the docks and threw our power cord in the water to accomplish this task. Why put 4-5 transient boats in a location where you are performing maintenance on the docks when there were 30-40 open slips?

A wonderful staff, and very nice facilities. Walking distance to town. They were so accommodating, especially when the weather turn put us leaving a lot later than expected. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Nice Marina and restaurant. Walking distance to downtown Portsmouth, Ferry across Elizabeth River to Norfolk Waterside. Katy, Kaitland and Hanna are great. Good cookies too.
