Love Edgartown; one of our favorite places to simply hang for a while as we travel north for the summer. Harbor Master’s staff is professional and attentive. Easy access to town, water & fuel. Stop & shop just under a mile or a free bus ride away. They deserve the 5 stars, but I must point out one issue; the dinghy dock. Simply not enough space for the number of occupied moorings during peak periods. Again, highly recommended!
This is a tough one - we really like it here and while we normally anchor out, we’ll usually take a mooring for at least a few nights whenever we pass through. Good supermarket, liquor stores, hardware store (propane), Library, post office & restaurants all under a mile away! Great dinghy dock, great launch service and exceptional launch captains - friendly, courteous & professional! So why 3 stars? The showers are abysmal! Now, I normally shower aboard Rocinante, but decided to check them out. Again, Abysmal! This is a yacht club, not a public park... Please upgrade your facilities to match the rest of your exceptional service!
Well, it’s been 4 months since we last set foot in a marina. There’s nothing wrong with them and plenty of cruisers hop from marina to marina enjoying the many amenities they offer; but we have found them to be mostly disappointing… until now. Dolphin Marina is exceptionally well run with an unmistakable emphasis on customer service! We loved the marina, loved the staff, loved the restaurant, we highly recommend it and will stay with them again next time we head north. It started with the great followup on my original phone inquiry, then we show up and a launch comes out to pick up and hand you the mooring pennant… hand you the mooring pennant! As if that’s not enough, then they come around every morning to your boat with complimentary coffee & blueberry muffins! We used the courtesy vehicle to go into Brunswick to re-provision, we did laundry and in between loads, enjoyed exceptional calamari & cocktails overlooking Potts Harbor! Needless to say, we stayed longer than we had intended, enjoying the views, their hospitality and the lobster! Let’s not forget the lobster! Carlos & Maria S/V Rocinante
I Strongly recommend Swan Creek Marina for anyone transiting the Chesapeake or visiting Rock Hall, MD. 2 Dingy docks, water & pumpout, showers, Ice, bikes, etc. (no fuel) Family owned and run marina - clean, well maintained facilities & great staff! Peaceful setting with great views! Easy access to Rock Hall - walk “The loop” or call for the tram ($1 each way) Wife and I have been here for 2 weeks now - walked round trip most days (3.2 miles?) some days walked in and took the tram back. Bay Foods (supermarket) will also pick you up drop you off at the marina - nice! We’ll be back on our way south in October!
