Everything was fine at the Marina. It might be nice to notify people booking if there are special events happening that weekend. Some may not be family friendly.

Good staff and good floating docks. Could use new shower heads in the showers (low flow). Downtown Norfolk is always great.

Love this marina. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Especially helping with the pump out. The docks are brand new and being right downtown where the action is, along with a 10 mile bike trail along the water just added to the list of highlights. Unfortunately we came on a Tuesday, and all of the restaurants along the water were closed. We did take a stroll up Granby Street where other restaurants were, but many of those were closed too. Not the fault of the marina, but just a word of caution for future visits.

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.

Thank you, Dwayne! We are glad you enjoyed your stayby Ken M. - Verified user on May 22, 2025
Although they were ‘full’ they were willing to take us on the outside dock while advising we would be exposed to wakes. We requested a reservation on very short notice. Kendall who worked the dock was very proficient and helpful with our lines and providing the marina information. Every time we have visited Waterside over the years we had a good experience. There are several good places to eat and drink within easy walking distance.

Thank you Ken! We are glad we could host you again. Safe travels this seasonby Loraine M. on May 21, 2025
We had a wonderful stay at Waterside Marina. The two young men that helped us in were wonderful. They are very good at what they do. They even recommend a diving company to have our props exchange for the spares after going through the Dismal Swamp. There are many restaurants within walking distance from the marina. I highly recommend this marina.

We spent a week here for the AGLCA Rendezvous. We had a fantastic experience from the moment we docked until we departed. The staff went above and beyond to assist us on a non boating related issue. We will definitely stay here again!

Great experience. Only reason give 4 stars is it doesn’t have everything, still a great stop.
