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 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.

Thank you Sally! I am glad to hear you enjoyed our beautiful city. Safe travels, and thank you for staying with usby Andrew C. on Nov 12, 2024
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 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.

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.

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!!

Here’s hoping we get
To stay here again for our return trip back up North in April. Great spot! Great staff! Awesome docks!! Walkable to everything except the grocery store and laundry. If you need to reprovision they order you a Lyft to get to Harris Teeter to go there and back. Very easy.
James the dockmaster along with his crew do a fantastic job.
Thanks again for an awesome stay.

Fantastic... best service we have had at a marina. The help with the lines and getting in and out of a tight spot was amazing and you did not feel like you were putting them out. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept also!
