Excellent no frills marina in the heart of St. Michael’s. We were met by 3 experienced deckhands who quickly secured our 58’ Hatteras. Very friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend & will stay here any time we cruise to St Michael’s.

Hi Kenneth, so happy you enjoyed your first time here and we appreciate the awesome review, thank you. Hope to see you again in the future and safe travels.by Scott H. on Oct 22, 2026
Higgins is a favorite in St. Michaels. The staff are friendly and experienced. The marina is a short walk in to town, and makes getting coffee in the morning, or walking to a restaurant easy.

Hi Scott, thank you for the great review and happy you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to seeing you again.by Bob E. - Verified user on Oct 19, 2026
Great place, nice friendly staff. But $200 a night for a 45-foot boat is getting out of hand. Sure, boats are a luxury item, and we can afford it, but high transient slip prices are negatively changing the boating landscape.
Marina Response:
Hi Bob, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We are also proud to say we have the best rates in the St. Michaels Harbor, and have for the past few years now. Our standard rate is currently $3.95/ft, so at that price, a 45’ boat would be around $178.00. Keep an eye out for discounts, which we offer frequently!by Charles M. - Verified user on Oct 01, 2026

Higgins is small and no-frills, but I like that. Very clean, docks in good shape, fair price for a popular destination, helpful staff, very professional. Very close to downtown area.

Thank you Michael for your review. Hope we see you again in the future.by Mark P. - Verified user on Sep 22, 2026
It is a good place to dock in Saint Michael's. Less busy and less "touristy" than some of the other marinas, and less expensive. The docks are fixed, not floating, and some slips can take multiple boats, but the first one in may not be able to get out until someone else leaves.
Good location for walking into town.

We’ve cruised to St. Michaels annually for seven years, but this is the first time we’ve stayed at Higgins. The dockage was great, and the yard’s proximity to Saint Michael’s can’t be beat. The bath facilities were also fine.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the wonderful review! Safe travels & hope to see you again soon.by Sergei P. - Verified user on Sep 10, 2026
The marina is conveniently located close to everything in St. Michaels. The busy harbor. People are friendly and professional. Solid piling and decking throughout. Blue lights on the docks at night- a good safety feature. It was a bit unexpected for me that your boat's rub rail goes right against the wood piling when you dock. Glad I had 17-inch fenders with me on my boat. Overall positive experience.
Marina Response:
Hi Sergei, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Regarding your slip assignment, this tie up arrangement was specifically requested in your reservation: "Request alongside or t-pier docking with my starboard side."by Paul B. - Verified user on Sep 08, 2026

Hi Terry,
Can't wait til your next visit and thank you for the great review.by Kim H. on Aug 19, 2026
Came by boat for the very first time to St. Michael's last Saturday. Higgins was able to get us a day spot and we were so thankful. EVERYONE we dealt with from the first phone call to the dock crew were so nice, helpful and very professional. You will certainly be our go to when we head that way..and we will. Thank you again for all the help and great experience.

Thank you Kim, we really appreciate your review & hope to see you again this season!by Carl D. - Verified user on Aug 11, 2026
Higgins is probably the most responsive and friendly marina we have experienced. We changed our reservation a couple of times due to the changing weather situation and each time Robin helped us readily. Our slip was ready and a dockhand was there to help us on arrival. We love the location in close walking distance to Talbot St.
Marina Response:
Thank you Carl. We appreciate your supportive review and hope to see you all again soon. Safe Travels!by Tony D. - Verified user on Aug 10, 2026
Staff were very friendly. Dock hands helped slot during arrival. Marina is close to town and other activities. Wish bathrooms had some AC for the really hot days we were there.
Marina Response:
Thank you Tony. We appreciate your review and hope to have you at the Marina again. Safe travels.by Kim P. - Verified user on Aug 10, 2026
