Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum

super location, dock hands, slips! We are members and try to come at least yearly! For newcomers, stay at least two nights to view the museum and have dinner in town!

Wonderful staff, most interesting grounds on the bay. Great location

Great stay! Dockhands are the best!

Beautiful views, quiet and good service.

Trips to the CBMM are always a pleasure. You can't beat the ambiance and the staff is great. We will be back again and again.

Great spot- Very accommodating and makes membership well worth the value. Quiet, and a short walk to town.

Great marina and very helpful dock hands Look forward to coming back

Clean bathrooms, tidy docks, friendly dockhands

The dock masters at the CBMM Marina are the best on the bay! I would encourage all visitors to consider signing up for one of the many levels of membership, or make a donation to CBMM.org. Please visit: https://cbmm.org/memberships/

Always a pleasure! So close to all that the town has to offer but with a pleasant escape from the noise and crowds at night.

Always great to stay at CBMM. Grounds are phenomenal and like the new visitor center. Josh does a great job leading the marina. St Michael's has a lot to offer everyone. Great food, small town shops

Great day,night and weather.

The venue, the museums and all the exhibits are absolutely amazing! My only criticism is the docking location on bulkhead ‘A’ Because of a rather slight physical handicap, I had severe difficulty boarding and getting off my Sailing vessel. There was at least a 2 foot gap and a severe drop in order to get on and off the vessel where I needed help to do what other people think is rather simple exercise. On my next visit, I really hope I’m assigned to a conventional slip conducive to sailboat boarding and disembarking. Never again do I wanna have to go through that for two days!

Excellent as always! Dock master Josh is always on hand to assist and we are happy to support the museum. Water at the docks would be nice though.

Always great. Gibby, the dock master is very helpful.

One of the best and certainly historic places to dock on the Chesapeake. Great attention to arrival time and departure. Easy access to St. Michaels especially the ice cream shops. Highly recommended.

Great place! Good slip and great help from dock master and staff.

We have been docking at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum for years. Josh, Gibby and Geo are amazing dockmasters! They go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

This was our second out of season stay and we will be back. Great place to dock for a few nights and enjoy St. Michaels. Josh the dockmaster was very helpful, and the ground of the museum remain well kept. We will be back.

Superior dock staff. Great facilities

We had the most amazing time at the Maritime Museum. The docks were well maintained, Gibby and the rest of the dock staff were helpful and friendly, and the museum itself was incredible. We will return and couldn’t recommend this stop highly enough.

Nice facility, welcoming people.

Great docking staff, museum, amenities, nearby Crab Claw and other restaurants in easy walking distance.

Having the docks spread out around the perimeter of the CBMM grounds creates a unique and relaxing environment. The facilities are all well kept up and the various buildings on the grounds provide ample places for groups to gather. We’ll be back again!

Gibby helped us dock on W tee, which we had requested.

You need a membership to dock there but you can sign up right away online, and even with the membership fee ("Admiral Level" required) it's still cheaper than other marinas there. The dockhand was VERY helpful when we came in, and it's in walking distance to many nice stores/restaurants and the museum! Definitely a great spot when cruising the Chesapeake Bay Area.

Excellent marina. Dockmaster was very helpful.

The people were great. The slip was fine. Museum was very interesting.

Fantastic stay for our first time at the marina. The employee who jumped on the boat to help with docking was terrific. We also greatly appreciated the pump out boat that came to our slip. We plan to sail to CBMM again! Chasseur

Great location. Very helpful staff. Great communications.

We always love staying at the Maritime museum. The staff was great! Josh, the Dock Master, is the best! It’s fun to stay in a working museum. Always a Special treat.

Excellent docks! And a very good price for our stay in St Michaels. The staff were friendly and helpful and the grounds of the Museum were well kept. It is a working shipyard, which means you’ll hear some noise during the day, but you’ll get to see some pretty cool things. We got to watch as a wooden mast was reinstalled into a Shipjack right behind our sailboat

Beautiful location and nice services! We loved the peacefulness of the museum grounds at night and it was an easy walk to town and restaurants. And the museum itself is wonderful

The Dockmaster and his assistant brought us in quickly in very high winds. They made our challenging docking go so smoothly.

It was all good. The dock crew were very polite and helpful.

Josh and his team always do an incredible job of making our visit safe and enjoyable.

Always great service

Josh and team are always great!

The museum is great and the location is fantastic. Easy walk to town and lots of restaurants. The dock hands were very accommodating. We will return!

This was my second stay this season. I’m proud to be a member of the CBMM and delighted to dock here again, this time with a friend from NY who was visiting Maryland’s eastern shore for the first time. The museum docks and grounds are tailored to enhancing the visitor’s experience, with after hours access of outdoor spaces and convenient proximity to the vibrant town of St. Michael’s, even in a Monday night. The museum’s dockhands are responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Both Gibby and Josh made sure our stay was pleasant. We also used the restrooms and showers, which were clean and temperature-controlled. I always enjoy staying here, especially with friends or family who want some independence, which docking affords, vs anchoring out.

Very nice. Dockmaster was very helpful.

Had a fabulous two day stay at CBMM Marina…top notch and amazing!

Always the best dock service. We love staying with you. Thank you.

Always a great stop that supports a fantastic organization.

Easy docking, helpful dockmaster. Very nice facilities.

Nice quiet location, close to town and restaurants.

Josh and the team are incredible. It is the best Marina service we've had on the bay. It's a great gem to pull into and be able to walk around town. We stayed two nights, the grounds are magic at night and super quiet. We can't wait for our next visit. Please support the museum and become a member!

Convenient spot in St Michael’s. Dock hands are always helpful. Very nice facilities.

Easy in and out. Helpful staff. Fascinating museum complex. Cool town. Lot's of weekday slip availability.

CBMM is the prime location at St. Michaels! They graciously accommodated our yacht club "Club cruise" visit requests. Docking was super easy thanks to the expert and knowledgeable help of the dockmaster. The facilities are always very clean and well stocked!

Great staff, clean facilities, walking distance to downtown, all good!

We were able to easily dock with the help of Giddy. The slip was quiet and not rocky at night. We had a wonderful time walking around the museum grounds especially at dusk. We will definitely stay again.

Facilities are top notch, beautiful setting, and every person we encountered that works there was beyond amazing!!!

Great slip, good service from Josh and his team! I come here 3 or 4 time a year. Easy walk to St Michaels. This time we came for the Waterman’s Appreciation Festival. Really fun event!

Fantastic stay for the Waterman's Appreciation day. Boat docking event was fantastic as it usually is. This is an annual event for us to attend. Dockmaster is fantastic. Highly recommend add the place to be in St Michaels.

The staff at CBMM are top notch! A special thank you to Josh who was patient and thorough when helping us land in our slip. Ample and clean overnight facilities at the museum. Wonderful experience!

Great first Dockwa use. Perfect

Excellent. Dock staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Marina was within walking distance of everything we wanted to do.

Staff were great. Very convenient to town

The marina was very accommodating and quiet.

Best staff of any Marina we have stayed at! Great marina and close to everything.

Awesome dockage. It's a great place to stay and visit.

The marina and museum are clean, staff are friendly, and it seems secure.

A wonderful location as always. Really appreciate the red spring and dock lines - made the process so much easier - as well as the very helpful dock hand to get me tied up. Because it was the Mon - Wed after 4th of July weekend I almost had the whole place to myself in the evening - glorious. Please support the CBMM!

Very hot weather. Shorepower excellent. Wonderful musuem and staff

Excellent place, wonderful service, great location.

Great place. Dock master Josh is awesome.

Great service, no issues

Love the place, the management, all employees a boater meets and or are helped by

We stayed over the Fourth of July weekend. Awesome staff, big band, food trucks and moon bounce for the kids. Great spot to watch the fireworks too.

It's always a major pleasure to stay at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Josh and his team do a superb job of taking care of everyone. The extra effort is really appreciated. This is a special place to stop on the Chesapeake Bay.

Perfect slip! Wonderful staffs! Beautiful view!

Josh and his team are great upon docking. The new Welcome Center is beautiful. New docks and ground improvements are good.

Always great - thank you!

Staff is very helpful and the facilities are clean. The museum grounds are chocked full of interesting exhibits.

Terrific facility and extremely attentive Dockmaster and staff. High level of professionalism at this facility.

Always clean and convenient.

Very accommodating.

Great facility and very helpful people.

Best marina on the Chesapeake!!!

Great spot and walking distance to town.

Great marina and staff

Just a great place, clean facilities and a short walk to town

Very helpful staff, updated docks and clean facilities. Will come back many more times

As a member, I’ve stayed at CBMM many times. Josh, the Dockmaster, and his team always do a good job. Thank you.

Always a great place to stay in St. Mike’s

Helpful pleasant staff, clean showers and heads. Fun place to walk around and close to restaurants and shops

Gibby, the harbor master, was awesome & helpful

friendly and helpful staff - close to town - enjoy visiting the museum

The staff were excellent and professional, took very good care of us!

This is a nice marina convenient to town and right in the heart of the Maritime Museum. Fixed docks in good condition are exposed to East winds, but generally very comfortable. Would probably get a little wake action on busy weekend. Washroom facilities are clean and serviceable. A stay requires an annual mariners membership to museum which we felt was worth it both for the less expensive moorage and to support this truly fantastic museum. Will happily come back again.

Great location for walking, biking, and eating out. Clean bathrooms and showers.
