Wonderful marina, great staff, all floating docks, spacious clean and beautiful bathrooms and lounge. Fuel dock easy to get to. If I lived closer I would keep my boat here

Great marina with wonderful people and nice floating docks. Gorgeous surroundings. The fuel dock/pumpout area is not obvious until you are there. The heads/showers were clean and nice, there was a lounge with coffee and water, and we were able to borrow the marina car to get a delicious Thai meal in Kilmarnock as well as make a provisions run to Food Lion the same evening. Definitely recommend this marina and will be back!

Excellent marina, helpful dockhands, clean and nice bathroom facilities, and laundry room with free laundry! Great restaurant on site. We were invited to the monthly social, which was so nice! Won a Safe Harbor hat in the raffle and enjoyed delicious pulled pork and chicken and had a wonderful time chatting with members and fellow transients. Wish we could be a Safe Harbor member, we love all the Safe Harbor marinas, but home port is Havre de Grace. Would love to see an associate membership for those of us who sail the Bay, or at least a 'tour' T-shirt with all the Chesapeake Safe Harbor marinas on it. Will definitely be back.

Delightful small marina with an attentive staff that stays late. Moderate walk to town, with golf carts available.

Zanheiser's is always the best. Glad that the restaurant is open again. Good food.

Beautiful location, outstanding dock master Nico, who gave great instructions on how to get in and find our slip. Fairways are a bit shallow and the channel coming in has shoaling so if you draw more than 5'7 you may not want to chance it. Karen from the office called to double check our draft after we submitted our reservation, and suggested we come in at high tide, which we did. Nico let us know which side of the fairway was deeper We left at high tide as well with no trouble. Beautiful pool area with bar, nice clean large bathroom area with showers. Across the street is Red Eye Dock Bar with live music as well as Dessert First and Harris Crab House.

We got very lucky to get a slip on short notice during the Boat Show weekend. Not cheap, but the location is fantastic. Dusty was great and our dock neighbors were very friendly. We didn't explore the onsite amenities, but they seemed extensive. Knock off a point for a troublesome wifi, which shouldn't be an issue in 2021.

These guys are the best. Great young crew on the weekends.

We came in under adverse storm conditions, and the dock hand was adept at tying us to the outer dock. Once the storm passed, we moved to our assigned slip. Everything is still top notch. Ketch-22 is good, and the store across the street has good supplies and sandwiches.

Marina Response:
Hi bajinaji, We are happy to hear you had a delicious meal and experience at Ketch 22. Thank you for your review.

This is a very basic marina, and delivers exactly what is necessary. They did not respond to phone or VHF, but were helpful once we arrived. This is also the least expensive marina we've been at on the Bay. A great value if you don't need frills.

Marina Response:
As with many businesses during the past year, staffing was limited. We strive to accommodate our customers and am glad we were able to meet your needs upon arrival. Because of the high volume of business, we are able to keep our fuel and slip prices Very competitive. We are expanding this winter with larger fuel capacity and faster pumps as well as adding more transient slips to meet the ever growing number of boats. Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to your next stay!

Friendly people and very nice docks. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, and they were swamped at the hi&dry and so they didn't respond to hails. Once we got that straightened out, everything was wonderful.

Dock hand was extra helpful. Check-in was very informative. Loaned us bikes and a courtesy car. Beautiful grounds, still being upgraded. All that is missing is a restaurant, which we're told will be ready next season. We'll be back.

We came in late in mid-May, just after re-opening. The staff was really helpful and provided us with a easy-access slip. As we went in search of dinner (take-out!), one of the crew reminded us that there were bikes to borrow. But the best part, when we called in, we mentioned we needed to obtain something unique. By the time we arrived, they had purchased what we needed and handed it to us. Service above and beyond any expectations.
