St. Michael’s is billed as the best town on the Chesapeake, actually it’s the best town (Beaufort,SC rival) we have visited so far! Higgins Marina was the perfect choice for a five day stay. Easy to dock, helpful and friendly dock hands. Brittney provided excellent communications and made our stay relaxing! Excellent walking opportunities- close to town and many great stores and restaurants. The Maritime marina is a very short walk. Extremely pet friendly. Pump out is by a mobile boat- so once docked you are serviced at your slip. Uber service available for provisioning. Don’t be drawn to fancier marinas- this is a Marina you don’t want to pass up! Thanks for the great visit Higgins Marina St. Michael’s.

We are repeat customers for overnighting and for day trips. This is the quiet part of the harbor along with be a no frills marina. The live is right for staying a few hours, days or weeks. The staff is beyond maritime competent and demonstrate Eastern Shore hospitality from the first contact until casting off the last line at the dock. We have stayed at all the other marinas in town and at anchor in the outer harbor, Higgins is our choice amongst all of these choices.

We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and super helpful getting us into our spot at the end of the dock. The bathrooms are clean and well kept. The marina is a very short walk into town. We would definitely stay here again.
