Tidewater Yacht Marina

Great location and staff. Capt Russ

Very helpful and responsive. Watch the tides and current on the Elizabeth river for best results.

We've stayed there many times and it's always good. The staff is very friendly and professional and the facilities are good. Since Suntex acquired the facility there have been numerous repairs and improvements. It had gotten a little run down but now it's back to an A+ facility.

Really enjoyed our stay here! The staff was very helpful and professional, and the location is close to the ferries to Norfolk, the Navy Hospital, and Old Town Portsmouth!

Excellent facility, floating docks, walking distance to many restaurants. Dock master very helpful with docking and dining recommendations.

Enjoyed our stay, lots to do.

Pulled in for fuel and stayed 2 nights ( August 2024) the manager is a nice friendly guy and will try to help you out whenever possible....the bathrooms and showers were great...protected so nice and quiet....restaurant on premises...took UBER to grocery store...coffee shop a fair walk but good coffee and.

Helpful staff. Expensive but comfortable.

Just wanted to let you know, we decided not to leave our boat there overnight. There was a bunch of sketchy characters running around on the dock using foul language and smoking non-tobacco products. We have friends who own a condo right across from the marina and I did not feel comfortable leaving my boat there unattended. So we made the long drive back to our dock that night, which was not our intention after watching the fireworks.

Outstanding service and location, love the restaurant and the dock help was awesome!! Even when I drove past the dock!

Dock master Rick was knowledgeable and helpful. Great floating docks. Clean facilities.

Rick and Jessica were absolutely amazing. We have never had a Marina accommodate our group the way these two did for us. Thank you so much!

GM & other staff are super nice & helpful - Bathrooms are clean - loved it here - will go again!

Staff are helpful and informative. Restaurant is excellent. Love being able to work to Portsmouth.

always a nice marina... new(men's) bathroom very well done. Got their fuel back too. Dont' like the remodel of the dockhouse,, though. not much boating gear but plenty of wine and beer

Great stay, can't thank Rick and entire crew for their professionalism and courtesy. will definitely go back..

The marina has some construction going on. Pool is not open till 2025, this was a Hugh disappointment. Power at assigned dock was tripped and would not reset. Had to plug into adjacent power pedestal. But mostly the restaurant Fish n Slips was the biggest disappointment. Food was terrible including desert. Pretty sure it was frozen than thawed. Service in the restaurant was also lacking, I had to ask for anything I wanted including another drink. I sat at the bar...it was not crowded at all. Gratuities were automatically added!? Must be a Virginia thing?

Clean bathroom and shower 👍 great service

Excellent dock help on arrival. Great marina, easy to access Portsmouth and Norfolk restaurants and activities. Front desk very helpful, bathrooms /showers and laundry room clean and conveniently located in marina. Rick, General Manager, checked in on us regarding our stay prior to our departure and provided us with great information on our next destination. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at Tidewater Yacht Marina for a week from 21 -29 June 24. The Marina and its dock and office personnel were all outstanding. Very peaceful stay with easy access to downtown Portsmouth and Norfolk via the harbor ferry which docked a short walk from the Marina. Their facilities were very nice and the office had beer, soda, etc that saved us from traveling off property for it. Some weather blew through while we were there and the breakwaters provided great protection from the winds. Uber was readily accessible and provisioning was easy to get to. We had Walmart delivery while there , which is always convenient. Nice picnic area and grills - was very nice place as we hung out with friends on several evenings. The fuel dock was easy to get to and the dockhands did a GREAT job catching our lines there and at the slip. Extending our stay was very easy through the Dockwa App too. Took the ferry to the Norfolk Tides MiLB game which was very convenient from the marina. This was one of our favorite stops thus far on the Great Loop. We will definitely return to Norfolk, and Tidewater will be our #1 preferred Marina. Thanks ! Dewayne & Lisa J. MV VolAboard

The marina is good and infrastructure improvements are underway. Rick and Jessa are great and Rick bends over backwards to be helpful. Some fairways have less depth than reported and we bumped a few times in a supposedly 10 ft fairway with our 7 ft draft. STAY AWAY from Fish n’ Slips. The food is bad, the service is worse, it’s over-air conditioned and it’s overpriced. Three staff members hang around idly at reception while customers wait hours for service. And without telling you, they slap an 18% service charge on the already inflated bill and still suggest more tips! The last straw was a dog occupying a barstool while there weren’t enough seats for would-be paying customers.

Nice quiet marina. We only stayed one evening but amenities that we used were fine. Good place to access the river walk on the Portsmouth side of the river.

Sockhands dis not give me access codes to showers. Place opens at 9am and closes at 4:30pm, time during which transients navigate. Not impressed.

Great marina with wonderful staff. So friendly and helpful. Clean laundry with 3 washers and dryers. This was our second time there.

Returned on our trip north. Great location away from the noise of Downtown. Took a short dinghy ride across the river to enjoy another tour of the battleship.
