Tidewater Yacht Marina

Dock hands were efficient helping us at the gas pump and to our slip. The “floating pool” is very small and hot. The biggest issue was marina bathrooms which were disgusting, and appeared to not be a priority, they were really gross.

Docks were clean and there was sufficient staff to handle the holiday crowd. Didn’t use the bathrooms. Great fireworks viewing!

Bottom line up front: we will *never* go back. Where to start? Wi-Fi was worthless; when it was available it wouldn't stay connected at our slip. The marina folks suggested we stay closer to the office. Had people all over the marina using propane grills on the dock; some folks were told it was ok to grill on their boats. We had three boat loads of folks come in and set up awnings *on* the dock, with their tables, grills, lawn chairs, fishing poles, etc. for 3 days. They were nice enough but we had to walk through their "living" area every time we left the boat. The 7-day a week shuttle is not...the owner and one of his drivers were drinking beer in the pool on Sunday and decided the shuttle would not run that day...leaving us without a way to get to town unless we walked. The "groceries" advertised on site consist of a few cans of chili, some crackers, chips, frozen hot pockets, and other junk like that, plus beer and wine. When asked about it, the marina office said "We have beer and wine, what else could you want?" The claim to be "one of the best marinas on the East coast" is laughable. The only bright spot is the dock hands who were all friendly and capable.

Nice marina. Nice dock hands. Food was ok at there restaurant.

Great marina, with great people. the restaurant is always a good experience. the Facility is clean and up to date. the only thing I wish they would change is the store hours during peak season, and weekends. we pulled in at 5:30 on a Saturday and they were closed already, would have been nice to have a dock hand help us tie up

Easy approach, nice staff, good restaurant, great view. The water taxi gave us an enchanting late evening tour of the greater harbor, including a close up water's edge view of Battleship WISCONSIN.

food was good service great

We loved this marina! Well protected, good dock hands, especially John, great on site restaurant, Fish&Slips, and Old Town Free Shuttle was the best! Our driver/owner, Greg, was not only our driver, but the best tour guide and so very helpful.

Awesome place! People were very nice

Marina has deteriorated since our stay 2.5 years ago. Bathroom and shower facilities are mediocre at best and need housekeeping.

It was fine until after I took a shower, I couldn’t find an electric outlet to dry my hair. I looked all through the ladies facility, but no plugs.

Friendly convenient marina. Excellent bar/eatery on site. Always happy to come to TYM.

Restroom not very clean. Hand towels and TP missing. Pool appeared to have algae in it. Store not open after five, Not good for late arrivals in summer. Will probably try somewhere else next time over that way. Still some good restaurants in walking distance, and very easy to stop on the ICW.

We've stayed there many times and it's always good. The staff is very friendly and professional and the facilities are good.

Nice as always, appreciate the addition of the pilings between the slips.

Great job , nice marina

Good in all aspects except the pump out had almost no suction and could not pump even our small tank. Good diesel - Valvect - and decent price.

Very nice marina. Clean and friendly!

We tied up at approx 4:20 pm and requested to get about 500 gallons of fuel. The doc and had to request permission to start fueling me at that time as apparently management does not want to pay them overtime. One would think that a $1500 purchase could pay for a bit of overtime. Eventually, it was a happy ending and they did get permission to sell me fuel.

Convenient location, good facilities, onsite restaurant

Older marina well located to both Waterside & downtown Portsmouth. Staff friendly and professional. Marina bathrooms could use refurbishment and something to control smells.

We enjoy this marina for it's amenties and location. Floating pool, gas and diesel, pumpout station, pleanty of docking for transients large vessels or small, remodeled bath houses, wash house with commerical dryers and washers, within walking distance of many eateries, museums, a short $1.50 ferry ride to Norfolk VA with nice shopping mall, hotels, eateries, ballpark. A destination in itself, and short cruise from the Chesapeak Bay
