The Docks at Downtown Hampton

Good location and friendly staff. However, I would have preferred to stay at one of the marinas further out in the bay due to traffic noise and no floating dock for our size of boat.

Staff was helpful and nice. Bathrooms are very clean and new. But the security is very poor, anyone can walk on the docks to your boat. We had people board our boat at 11:30 at night just to walk around after drinking at the bar. The harbor is very noisy and hard to sleep at night with all the traffic going over the bridge.

Rachel came back to the dock at 9pm on a stormy Saturday night to help us to our slip, especially helpful as the boat is new to us. She kept up great communication the day of, as we were obviously delayed, and was dedicated to getting us settled in and set up of the night. The floating docks are modern, good power and water, nice group of other transients, and tucked away from most traffic it would appear. Security was good, no issues. Good neighborhood to walk around in, bars and restaurants very close. Recommend highly.

Superlative treatment. Very nice team. Convenient to town and by loaner bike to Fort Monroe, grocery, etc. This visit the bathrooms were under renovation resulting in the use of a substandard option in nearby parking garage - soon to be remedied. For this an 30% discount was offered. Always a lovely visit. Oh, they also have one washer/dryer available which is well maintained like everything else.

Dockmaster was there to greet me and help me get into place. Docks are near shoreside restaurants. Facilities are clean.

Great location and Allie was fantastic. She was very communicative and informative prior to checkin. She met us at the dock and helped us tie up along side the office. I highly recommend and I will be back in the future.

I don’t even know where to start. One of our absolute best marina experiences, ever! Right from the minute we arrived, Danny, Allie and Rachel could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Not only are they all skilled dockhands with the ability to help you navigate the local tidal currents, but at every point of contact they did whatever they could to provide above-and-beyond customer service with a friendly smile. Need some work done on your boat? They’ll help you find a local contractor. Need a boat part? They will utilize their extensive local contacts to try and help you out. Want to go exploring? They’ll provide you with complimentary bikes to go for a ride and thoughtful recommendations based on your own specific wants and needs. Missing fresh herbs and veggies? They have a container garden (tomatoes, peppers, herbs galore) that they carefully maintain just for their guests. I could keep going on and on, but really, you just have to come and experience this conveniently-located marina for yourselves. I truly hope that the city of Hampton compensates them well as you couldn’t ask for a better team of city ambassadors!!!

Nice location, but the security is a bit lacking. Nothing happened other than a very loud argument late at night by someone in the nearby garage. The staff however is very friendly and helpful! Also their washer and dryer a very clean and easy to use.

We had a great stay here on our fall migration to southern waters. The staff (Danny and Rachel) were very helpful in getting us situated in our slip. The well protected docks and other facilities were very nice, as were the neighbors. Location is near restaurants, bars, shops and other walkable areas. Easy access into and out of Hampton river for north or southbound travel.

Danny and his crew provide excellent service. Always ready to help with dock lines or answer questions. Bull Island Brewing is next to the docks for cold beer and good fare. Showers clean and laundry available.

Always a great marina to stop and stay for a while. The dock masters are wonderful and so helpful. Highly recommend for anyone.

Nice dock with great staff. Easy to walk to many spots for entertainment and dining. VA air and Space museum is basically at the end of the dock. Will be a marina we return to.

Great spot, frendly staff! Well protected.Walkable town,

Love coming to the Docks, easy access, great staff.

Facilities are very nice and the staff is super helpful! Very short walk to downtown Restuarants.

We love staying in Hampton. Danny and Allie are so nice and helpful. So many fun places to visit. (Restaurants, breweries, museums, a fort) the bikes are great to borrow too!

Dock master, Dan, is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. He knows what cruisers need! There is a brewery at the dock and a nice walkable downtown very close by. Strongly recommend this marina!

Fair prices and close to downtown. Wide slips. Short finger piers.

Wonderful stay. Dock master danny was great and Rachel had solid tips on food and services. Thanks again

Nice stop on our way south. The Marina is downtown, expect tourists walking by. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good facilities. I would stay again.

Great people great location nice docks

We stopped here on our way North for a couple of days and ended up staying 2 weeks! Donnie and Alli are amazing, helpful and caring staff! We have enjoyed our time here. Will definitely stop here again!!

Great location, ate at Marker 20. Friendly folks.

Great dock line assistance. Clean facilities. Great location for dog walking. Food and drink close by. Very little passing traffic. Nice three day dockage.

Good dock. Right downtown. Danny the Dockmaster is very friendly and helpful.

We loved it. The marina staff provided excellent assistance & the location was perfect. Would definitely come back.

Great stop, brew pub on site with good food menu. Marina staff is excellent, great help tieing up, knowledgeable about local stuff. Marina has clean restrooms and showers which are also locked with boaters only key fobs

Danny provided excellent service

The location and facilities were exactly what we needed. Danny even came in after hours to help us get tied up...in a thunderstorm! We'll definitely be back!

Great location, can't thank the crew enough for their hospitality and help.

We love the Docks at downtown Hampton! Great staff and perfect location!

Easy access. Great floating docks and facilities

Picked up a slip on our way north, and were very happy with our stay at the Downtown Hampton Docks. Ally was great in getting us in, and the dock is in good shape. It's close to everything, including the science museum and many good restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent staff -- expert and especially helpful. Greatly Appreciated. The location is perfect -- truly downtown! David & Genie Berry OLD BEAR

Marina is in close proxemity to everything. The dockmaster and staff were very helpfull. We will be back I am sure.

Attended Hampton Blackbeard festival by boat for the weekend. Facility and staff were great.

Very nice very clean and a very helpful staff!!! Great weekend thanks!!

Danny is a good host and very accommodating. When construction is complete it will be a 5 star. Nice easy walking area in town. Bull Island Brewery is literally steps away.

It was top notch. Very nice people, nice little dog park for our pup. Will come back again for sure. Short walk to museums, tons of restaurants.

Danny the dockmaster is awesome!

Nice location, well protected with fantastic friendly staff. Lots to do in the area. Don't miss the carousel located at the opposite end of the marina.

Danny, the Dockmaster and his staff (Ally, etc) are extremely cognizant and intentional about providing excellent customer service. They go out of their way to ensure that the cruising guests are welcome and that their needs are met - as much as possible. They go the extra mile - i.e. they not only allow guests to send packages to the marina office, they actually deliver them to your boat. Their very pleasant demeanor and welcoming accommodating attitude are what make this marina — one of choice and excellence. When in the area, we will always choose Docks at Downtown Hampton.

Great location, nice staff

Stay was excellent, great staff

Very friendly welcome, but few amenities. Work in progress !

Help was good and friendly. Bathrooms could use some work

5 stars all the way! Marina staff is very helpful & knowledgeable. Clean, just a great place, very grateful we were able to experience Hampton. We will be back, thank you for the wonderful stay!

Good floating slips + friendly and helpful staff.

Nice location in town. Helpful dock staff.

Fun spot and the dock master was very helpful.

The City Docks is in a fantastic location and has wonderful services, but the Dockmaster -Danny-is what makes marina the best!!! He is very professional, caring, and keeps the marina ship-shape. We love it here!

Great staff, facilities and location.

Staff was fantastic from arrival through departure which we had to adjust twice.

Great and Ally was so helpful with docking. A bit difficult to back in with a full keel and the current but she was helpful and patient

Everything was close by the only other thing I would have liked in the summer is a pool. Lots of good restaurants within two or three blocks

Accommodating friendly and comfortable. Thanks!

Good location and super great staff! Mind the current when docking otherwise great choice!

Great stay. The facilities are clean and exactly what we needed. The dockhands were uniformly helpful. And the location can’t be near. You’re smack dab in the middle of restaurants, a dog park, a great museum and good walks around the river.

Great location very welcoming - Danny is great.

It was OK. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Facilities average but location is great near a variety of restaurants. Friendly management.

Good location ffjkifescvbjh

Very good marina, restrooms and showers extremely clean. Dockhands provided great service.

Great location and facilities. The loaner bikes are very convenient.

Danny, the dockmaster, was superbly helpful. When we arrived, we could not connect with the new, "highly sensitive" electrical outlets. So, he helped us move to a dock that had "old" electric/shore power connections. Those worked like a champ. No fault of his that I, as well as other boaters, could not connect with the new shore power system. The heads and showers were dated, but at least the heads always had TP ... been to several marinas where noone would resupply the heads for days. A big "caution" is that there is no gate to access the marina, particularly at night. There would be individuals smoking, or drinking, or conversing with others, or simply just standing around the docks within a few feet of your boat late at night. The best thing about this marina is that it is in downtown Hampton where a lot of attractions are within walking distance.

Clean. Good access to Hampton Roads area.

Excellent Harbor Master and staff! Clean office, dock areas walked several times daily, spotless restroom, staff is efficient, friendly! Even delivering packages to our boat!

Excellent service from dockmaster Danny and assistant Tina. Very convenient tie-up for starting and ending ICW trips.

Always a pleasure to be here.

Central location with helpful staff and nice dock office

good location and service.

Great stay, extended due to weather. Danny and Allie were super helpful and friendly. Will stay there again.

Awesome We highly recommend

Love this place. Walk to great restaurant, Walgreens, food lion. Great staff and a well protected spot.

Wonderful little gem. Stayed here four nights. Walked to restaurants, breweries, shopping, walking trails. Super friendly staff.

The folks there are nice. However, our slip was right in front of a parking garage - alarms were going off constantly - especially at night - screeching tires, horns blowing, alarms going off! It was difficult getting good night's sleep. The laundry "room" has 1 washer/1 dryer with no table or chair which would have been nice to have (so to place bags &/or to fold clothes). We stayed here because of the location which within walking distance to downtown, needed to do laundry and desperately needed to pump out. Unfortunately they put a huge sailboat right in front of the pump out. We did not feel comfortable backing into this sailboat to pump out as was suggested. This marina could be very nice but It is lacking...

The marina is wonderfull. Dockwa was horrible. They charged nearly twice the published price but the marina straightened it out. This is the third time this year we have used/tried to use dockwa and I have never been satisfied with it. Much better to call the marina and talk to them directly.

Great area. Clean restrooms and shower rooms; Bull Island Brew Pub right next to docks. They have loner bikes and it is easy ride to hardware store, Walgreens, 7-Eleven. NASA air and space center, IMAX theater, museum only about three block walk. Enjoyed staying here.

Great location. Docks in good repair. Docking assistant was excellent. Walk to several restaurants and museums. Brewery on site with good food and beer and live entertainment.

Slow response to radio call-in. Docking assistance was great. Dockside water was inop.

Very small docks, but in good conditions, running water was not working at our dock. Bathrooms need a good cleaning (mildew, smell)

Tina, dockmaster was very attentive and helpful and even helped us fine a tech to repair our radar on short notice!

The marina was in good shape and the staff helpful. My concern is that the finger piers are very short and there is no seaward piling between the slips. This put a great deal of strain on the hull where it contacted the corner of the finger pier. We deployed several fenders, however, if the wind had been strong on the beam, I would have been unhappy.

Tina is a great dockmaster in a very friendly town.

We enjoyed our stay in Hampton. There was a significant amount of construction on the marina building, it doesn't appear much if anything has progressed since February. Even with the construction, it did not impact the use of the facilities, restrooms or showers. Which were clean and orderly. I noticed the Hampton PD regularly walking foot patrol along the marina. We had a great time, Hampton has a lot to over, even for just a quick overnight stay.

Great location, great staff. Got to enjoy some really good restaurants.

Great location and Danny the dock master is great. Staying on another week.

We had a very convenient location. Bathroom facilities are clean and feel secure with two codes. Parking is available in the garage close by

Danny, the Dockmaster, is Awesome. Helped us both on and off the docks.

Good stay. Quiet and a great brewery just behind the docks. There was no one to meet us and help tie up, but other than that a good stay. We've stayed here a few times and always like it. Easy access to downtown.

Great stay. Good dock help upon arrival. Clean restrooms etc Very quiet at night. Was there on a Friday night when they had music around the corner. A lot to see and do in the area.

Great second visit! Easy in, and far enough down the channel to get rid of waves from the bay. Great staff! Came out in the rain to help us tie up. Love the Bull Island Brewery right behind the dock! Clean restrooms and showers. We were the only boat there for the night. We did have a "transient" checking out the boat about midnight, but a quick flash from a flashlight, and they took off. No issues otherwise.

Nice place to doc. Great staff. Lots to do in the area

Great stay Danny and team are first rate Facility is in great shape Will be back

Neat, clean. Helpful staff. Only minor down was no fuel dock. Worked around it with no problem.

Harbor crew was very helpful and the marina was close to restaurants and shops

Finger piers are too short and nothing between you and the boat next to you. Nice dockmaster and he wants the facility updated with longer finger piers.

One of the best deals on the Bay. May 2015 price is $1.25/ ft + $6 electricity. Downtown location convenient to restaurants and entertainment. Pay attention to the current when entering your slip. Current runs perpendicular to slips and can be significant. Worth the effort is cab to Moma Rosa's Restaurant in nearby Pheobus. Clean, inexpensive and excellent food.
