About


Established in 1965, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland, is a world-class maritime museum dedicated to preserving and exploring the history, environment and people of the entire Chesapeake Bay.

Located along St. Michaels Harbor and the Miles River in the heart of St. Michaels’ historic district, CBMM’s Members-Only Marina is a short walk from the area’s best restaurants, specialty shops, and other attractions. Docking at our marina offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich maritime heritage of the Chesapeake Bay.

The marina is open daily and offers 55 slips, accommodating vessels up to 200′ in length and a maximum draft of 10'. Amenities include electric, pump-out service, climate-controlled showers, Wi-Fi, picnic tables, and bicycles. St. Michaels also offers a harbor shuttle service, a harborside fuel dock, and convenient driver services.

A CBMM membership is required to use our marina and its facilities. Your membership and docking fees directly contribute to supporting our educational programs, fascinating exhibitions, and maintaining the world’s largest collection of Chesapeake watercraft.

Gibby, the Dockmaster, is always very accommodating and helpful. Gio is also a very capable dockhand whose expert assistance makes tying up to the T-head quick and secure. We love staying at CBMM and 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/

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.
