Waterside Marina

Great location in downtown Norfolk. Easy in and out off Elizabeth River/ICW. Very helpful staff with nice floating docks.

A lovely small marina with very helpful staff. A special mention to Kendall who took good care of us.

James was great and even checked with us a few times enroute. He answered the radio as we neared the dock, guided us in and helped to secure our lines. The dock is a new floating dock with adjustable cleats. We had good power and minimal current. It is tight coming in and out. You are in the heart of downtown with lots of restaurants. Two blocks from the USS Wisconsin. See them again soon for the looper meeting. Dave & Brenda Blue Moon

Waterside Marina continues to impress. This is a regular stop of ours and we have been impressed every time with the motivation and skill of the dockhands. The marina is in a great location and is meticulously maintained with great WiFi, amenities, etc. Don't pass this up without stopping for the night or just for lunch.

We had an excellent stay at Waterside. Easy entrance and exit. No current to deal with. The marina is protected from river traffic wake. Kendall was great, met us as we pulled in, and helped with lines and power. The head was very clean, but a little walk away. We had an excellent dinner across the river at Fish and Slips. Just take the $2 ferry over.

Staff were excellent, and the docks are lovely. The heads are a long walk and frequently things like paper towel dispensers and even the lighting were not working. The location itself is perfect for an in-town experience.

Great Marina and Facilities. Friendly and skilled dockhands and management. Great location with lots of things to do. Highly recommend.

Just in time for the Illumination Parade!! Excellent time, easy contact, good dock help!

Friendly, excellent dock hands and docks. Very accommodating for our group.

All positive. Dock crew took great ceare of us both leading up to and during our stay. I highly recommed this marina.

Friendly helpfull staff. Reasonable price. Walking distance to a lot of stuff.

Great marina and superb dock master in James! So very accommodating and helpful. He even offered to come in on his day off to help us with lines! (Unnecessary.) Thank you James and team for a great stay. It will be my first choice on our next visit to the area.

Fun times! Great Marina! Staff were so helpful, baths and showers were clean and you’re right in the middle of all the fun activities and restaurants Norfolk has to offer! We’ll be back!

Great place to stay. The marina is spotless and the staff are some of the friendliest on the east coast. There were three dock attendants to greet me last time I pulled in. The dockmaster is great for sourcing out service reliable providers. For insurance reasons, I couldn’t proceed south until 1 November and choice to park my boat there for a month. The confidence staff did a great job looking after her in my absence.

Great staff and nice marina. Bathrooms are quite far away though.

Great location. Easy walk into town. 3 great dockhands were there to meet us at the dock. New floating docks with bumbers all around the slip. Everyone was very willing to help with whatever questions we had. Definitely will stay there again.

This is our 4th stay at Waterside. Very responsive and dockhands are extremely professional and courteous. We always try to stay two days here! Easy walk to all kinds of bars and restaurants such as Grace O'Malley's!

Our favorite marina in the Chesapeake! Even though we are only there twice a year, James treats us like we dock there daily. He makes sure that Serene is well secured at the dock and is always available for any additional needs. We look forward to our return.

We had a great time at Waterside. James, Elliot and Danny the Dockmasters are absolutely fabulous: helpful, competent, friendly. We will come back!

Great staff....they make all the difference!!!

James from the dock office was EXCELLENT!!!

Facilities were very nice, dock hand was great and on duty till 10pm

Excellent location and the staff is extremely attentive.

Very helpful dock personnel, and felt very safe

Great trip. Dockhands were very helpful and courteous. Came to our boats to help us dock (nearly unheard of at most marinas on the Bay!). Clean bathhouses, walking distance to excellent restaurants, interesting outdoor market on Sunday, fun boat watching as many headed south on the ICW!! Great location for fall boating!!
