Erwin Marine Riverfront

Excellent facility, well located. A courtesy car and some dock carts would be nice.

There are no showers; the city had not turned on the water at the docks. There was no hot water in the men's room. Lighting in women's room was intermittent. Paint peeling in both restrooms. Toilet paper dispenser in men's room was broken. Floor dirty in men's room. Equipment was stored in men's room. Dock was dirty and cluttered with junk. Standard 30 amp service was not provided at our dock and we had to rent an adapter for $ 50. The one bright spot was the manager (Creed) -- very courteous and helpful.

Docking experience is more like it used to be. GREAT. Management has the right people in the right places. Thank you Kayo.

Everything about this experience was absolutely awesome.

Facilities have been upgraded with new 50 amp boxes . Location perfect for downtown Chattanooga access. I would stay on the aquarium end of bluffview dock. It is quieter than the other side because of homeless population. Supplies are limited from Marina . Staying on the wall was a bit bumpy and had to deal with rise and fall of water . Marina never answers phone

Stayed at bluff dock. Great location. Secure dock with gated entry.

Excellent Marina, well maintained and everything is within walking distance.

Ez walk in to town

Dock was fine. Need to provide WiFi service.

Everything went great. No problems. We will stay there again.

What a great place to visit! So much to do and love the ease of getting my reservation thru Dockwa. When I have a question, they answer so fast.

Nice dock and company. Rough at times with boats not slowing between bridges but all in all ok.

It was excellent. Special thank you to Creed for being so helpful!

Great location with beautiful views. Enjoyed the kayak race start off right next to us. Great food. Easy to make online reservation. Pulled up to bluff and power ready. Water available.

Awesome location right in downtown. Love the self-service fuel dock. Friendly staff, who lent us a power adapter and switched our reservation to the Olgiati Dock, which is the only one close to the bathrooms. Deep water and easy access, but boat wakes are a pain.

Enjoyed our stay. We had 2 other boats in our party. Brought our Cornhole boards and had plenty of room to play.

Accommodated our late arrival. Gated entry to our boats so we felt safe. Highly recommend!

Creed was great to work with. First class’

Great place to dock & enjoy Chattanooga

Great location. Felt very secure.

Docked by the bluff. Marina staff greeted us and helped get us secure. Great location to see Chattanooga. My only complaint which is really not a complaint is that it gets rough pending on boat traffic.

Everything is nice except the bathrooms need to be cleaned better and painted (in the men's room}

Always a great stay at Erwin

Awesome place super clean and conveniently located. Will be socking here again for sure!!

We love staying at the dock downtown but I do wish they would clean up the duck poop so that I don't have to.

convenient. Good dockage

Al says an amazing experience

Great place to dock in downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. Easy access to to everything downtown Chattanooga has to offer. Dock was clean and secure. The only downside is the tour boats wakes, but hey it still a good place to dock.

Good location and great price

Bluff docks convenient to aquarium, imax and restaurants. Had a great time.

Easy, accessible and safe. thank you!

Had a great time. Very convenient to down town. With dock prices very low with power available. Creed was more than helpful. Very much appreciated Creeds hospitality. Thanks

Our stay at Erwin Marine Riverfront was wonderful. We were right in town. Close to everything, walking distance. The Aquarium is a beautiful place to visit too.

Easy and Flawless. Other than the Ironman competition on Sunday morning. Thanks for the clean accommodations.

Always a great time and a very helpful and welcoming staff! Thank you!

Creed was very helpful! We had an awesome weekend!! Thank you!!

Creed was very friendly and helpful!

Easy access to everything downtown. Bring extra fenders, some boats cruise by wide open in close proximity not understanding proper etiquette.

We used the Bluff Dock to park the boat to spend the afternoon in downtown Chattanooga. The dock was in good condition and behind a secure gate. We felt comfortable leaving the boat there unattended for hours. There reservation process was easy.

Fueling at $200 per swipe stinks for yachts. There’s no trash receptacles on the dock.

Very nice experience and the gate code worked great! We’ll be back!

We’ve stayed at these docks several times …& this time was definitely a sleepy time -only two boats in floating dock this time . Sadly some homeless folks hanging near the security gate . Seamless \"docking\" at the floating river docks near the Walnut St Bridge. Gate code made us feel safer about having the boat downtown. Being at water level for the Head of Hooch regatta NOVEMBER) is amazing time to be there. Great places to eat all within walking distance. Don't forget to walk the bridge to the NorthShore. Lots of fun shops and cafes, too.

Nice and secure area for us to tie up our jet skis for the night.

Great place to overnight

Always outstanding stay

Very nice secure dock.

Clean dock, was able to empty trash, great location. Great communication.

Works great. Enjoyed our stay.

We love the Bluff dock in Chattanooga. Great location for sightseeing and close to wonderful restaurants. The staff is great to work with especially due to our numerous changes in schedule. We appreciated them working with us. The negative is the bridge traffic noise (but you get used to it) and there are some homeless people on the eastern walkway. We've had no trouble with either. The other major problem is the wake from very rude boaters. We are very surprised they haven't posted no wake zones. Not only were we slammed into the docks, the damage to the Walnut and Market Street bridges will be an issue. Boaters need to respect these structures and the vessels on the dock. We had wakes hit the dock so hard that the splash went all the way across to the other side of the dock. We didn't see this during our stay in 2020 so it appears to be a newer issue.

Great location! Nobody on docks or marina office for 2 days.

Easy set up, reasonable price, excellent fuel dock. Will come back.

Very accommodating as I am in a wheelchair and needed to use the marine dock that has a ramp to get up on street level.

They are always helpful and quick with responses.

Great place to stay Jill was very helpful !!!!

Love staying on the docks downtown Chattanooga. Creed was great!! He welcomed us and helped us tie up upon arrival!! He also came back by later that evening to check on us!! Great service indeed!!

Creed was super nice and helpful when we showed up with the wrong amp cords! Thank you!

Great service proffesional

Stay was great with no issues getting docked and power going. Great restaurants around and we had a good stay. Thanks- David

Great always have a good time

Reservation application stated I wanted 30 amp power but the pedistals I found at the Bluff required a 50 amp connector. Luckey I had a pig tail that was a 50 split to two 30 amp connectors. Suggest that notice be given that only 50 amp conncetion is available at the Bluff.

Very convenient. Staff was extremely helpful.

The Bluff Dock ... secure and close to down town.

The dock is right on the Main channel and there are no wake restrictions. Our boat got beat to death by all the passers by. A couple of wake boats kept going right by us with no regard for the damage they were causing. In addition there is a homeless village right under the ramp that was filthy. Would not recommend the Bluff Docks.

Seemed very secure and had lots of friends stay with on their boats

Great place to dock great people would highly recommend. Always a good experience

Exposed to wakes as is everything downtown, but very close to Bluff Art District and Aquarium. Restaurants close by.

Always a great stop in Chattanooga. Walking distance to several places to eat and things to do

Marina unmanned on Sunday and Monday, but Creed returned my call on Tuesday. Power was on so we were able to get set up and had a wonderful stay. Asked for and received AGLCA discount of 20%. Assigned to Olgiati Dock.

Water was rough with other boats zipping by Had one boat a full plane with in 20 feet of our boat

Great place for access to all going on in the city of Chattanooga

Excellent Stay as usual.

The marina has one GREAT feature…location. We walked and biked thru downtown Chattanooga and beyond. The hike and bike trail next to the marina goes all the way toChickamauga Lock and Dam. And if felt very safe,with locking doors to the docks. The restrooms were basic and lacked showers, and there wasn’t much other ameneties. Staff was friendly.

Excellent location.

This is a marina that I visit a few times a year if possible. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the downtown waterfront area is super nice (kid & dog friendly too) and food choices are abundant. Highly recommend a visit.

First, Chattanooga was great. Once we got there and got the proper dock space, it was nice other than the water was shut off. Lots of loopers stay their to enjoy the city AND re-supply (including water). They did get it back on, but an inconvenience and we cut our stay a day short due to it. We had others where their power went out. They did get it back on - but starting to see a pattern here. Our friends arrived a few days prior (4 boats total) and it took 3-4 hours to get everyone fueled and pumped out! When we arrived (Monday), there was no answer on VHF or phone. They did DockWa us codes and that we would be on the Bluff dock, but when we arrived, there was no space on Bluff dock and no one to talk to about it. Come to find out that Marina office is closed on Sunday & Monday. Also no restrooms on Bluff dock, and the ones at the marina office were about 1/4 mile away and not in good shape. Overall, it is centrally located right in the heart of Chattanooga, and we had a great time, but I have my reservations on management of the facility.

Love the location but don't like losing our spot when we leave for the day...because we have a reservation. Would be nice if there was trash disposal.

We had a wonderful week stay at Erwin Marine Riverfront on the Olgiati Dock. Creed and his crew were very helpful upon arrival. We had multiple packages delivery without any problems. The gated docks are clean and safe. Chattanooga is a lovely city and Erwin docks are very convenient to all of the downtown area. We’ll be back!

Easy and convenient to town. Nice to have free parking for family who joined us to cruise down the river.

Great location and super clean facilities, we will be back!

No Wi-Fi, no boater’s bathroom/shower, no amenities. It’s a city wall dock with access to the city.

Excellent location. Friendly staff.

Area was clean, relatively secure No staff on site. Diesel pump not functioning.

Nice docks, great access to aquarium and downtown. However, lots of boat wakes!!

Love being downtown Chattanooga, and locked gate access to floating docks is great! Some wakes from passing boats, mostly on weekends

Great marina right in downtown Chattanooga. Easy city to get around. Only drawback is lack of facilities at dock (showers, bathrooms, laundry). Love staying here. Will be back.

We love the bluff dock but... We really need the pump out working. We understand the lift issue but we also understand there are pumps rated for such lift also, finish the job please. We understand there are alternative pump outs at different locations but we would prefer to pump out at the dock we are at and we ask for you to consider that. Five stars easy if you will take care of the pump out.

We traveled with a group of 7 boats from Guntersville to Chattanooga. The entire process was extremely easy. I would highly recommend Erwin Marine Riverfront and Dockwa to anyone.

Great stay no issues! Friendly staff, helpful about local information, we will be back!

Nice dock, conveniently located to downtown Chattanooga,.

under bridge very loud no adapter for power ran generator all night have trouble walking any distance could not make it up steps and hill to bath house. directly on main channel very turbulante all night.

Creed, the dock master was great. Docks were clean, sturdy. Bathrooms clean

Very nice. Great customer service. Creed was very helpful and attentive to our needs

Great spot and close to the downtown scene. Creed was fantastic as he went above and beyond and was very professional. Will come back!

Folks were great. Unfortunately, their gas pump was out and we had to go purchase cans and gas. Slip was good.

Great place and the reservation was fast and easy

Great place to dock your boat with a gated walk way so you can leave your boat and injoy the town with no worries...I'll definitely stay here again.

Great stop, Jill and crew were outstanding.

Services were outstanding. Clean and secure dock.

It's exactly as advertised. Convenient to downtown. Adequate security, trash receptacles on dock, good power and water, and docks are in good condition. Would be nice if there were bathrooms and showers but there aren't at this location thus 4 stars.

Jill was absolutely great! She helped us with a package delivery and getting fuel.

Positives are convenient to downtown, good power pedestals, strong water pressure and great rates. Negatives are difficult to reach by phone so communicate through Dockwa, NO SECURITY due to homeless camped on embankment who have gotten ahold of Gate code and come and go on dock, WiFi not good.

Great location for the boat to enjoy downtown Chattanooga! Dog friendly too! Very clean marina. Nice and secure Too

Always enjoy our stay.

Good Points: Price, location was excellent - right at downtown easy walk to events, arts, museums, restaurants. Security - gate code to enter the dock area. Not as good - Security: the gate codes may need to be changed more frequently as the homeless in the area came strolling through. The area does seem to be a haven for the homeless as well.

They are very nice and helpful people. They are great with how they manage and make sure you are okay. very pleasant trip to Chattanooga.

Dockmaster Mark was very helpful.

The Erwin Marine staff are the best! We always enjoy our stay in Chattanooga.

We really enjoyed our stay at this dock. There were electric hook ups and a security gate. Very convenient to downtown.

I must say this booking website is very user friendly and the information that I received from Jill at Erwin Marine, who was great, was very informative. When we arrived there were several open spots which was convenient. However, I realized I'd never obtained a gate code and started searching my emails to see if I'd missed something, with no luck. I simply called Erwin, which was closed by the time we arrived. I left a message on there recording and proceeded on to the hotel with our things. Although a bit unnerving at first, not knowing exactly how we were going to get back to the boat and the facility being closed, we received a call back from a gentleman with Erwin who provided us a gate code right away. The only downside to this stay and the reason for the 4 not 5 stars is not at the fault of the marina. Later that night we had to retrieve the rest of our items from the boat and in doing so, we were approached by another boat owner on the dock wanting us to help move another owner's jet ski or move our own boat from where we docked so that he could get a different spot per his preference. He tried to tell us that he paid for a specific spot which I didn't believe to be true due to my own experience. We would never move someone's vessel so we cordially declined to help him and also told him there was not enough room to move ours where he was insisting without over-lapping our dock lines with another customer with a much, much larger vessel, which we believed was not a good idea either. He began to ignore us and proceeded to move someone's jet ski to suit him. He was somewhat aggressive which was uncomfortable but fortunately, when we returned to check things, our property did not seem to have been tampered with. Above all, we would definitely book here again.

Another Great weekend in downtown Chattanooga! Nice and quite.

Love staying on the bluff dock. The view at night between the two bridges is fantastic.

Very hospitable and extremely convenient.

Accidentally scheduled late, but still ended up with a short walk to our hotel, and no issues with tying up and accessing gate. Wish the gate had stayed closed more, we found it open twice, but no one messed with our boat.

Always love our time at Chattanooga Riverfront!

Great way to visit downtown and walk to great restaurants! Jill was very helpful and accommodating!! Well worth the money to have easy access to downtown! The Ice Cream shop is a must!

Jill was so easy to work with! Thanks for the information as this was our first trip to Chattanooga Riverfront.

Jill was very helpful and accommodating when we accidentally selected the incorrect dock upon arrival. Everything is within easy walking distance from the marina.

The Bluff Dock is likely best used during the week. We have been there on weekdays and weekends. On the weekends, we have fast boats that produce wakes that make out boat fenders pop up and have our boats contact the cement pier. Ugh! Also the security is lax. The access code is known by locals. Fishermen come down to the dock and leave the gates ajar. Vagrants come down and have been found on boats. Police don't respond. Erwin doesn't either. The convenience is nice. But stay alert to the risks.

We loved our trip. Perfect

Best spot in Town. Nice views, secure a d close to a activities

Friendly helpful low fuel prices

Easy docking with great views and easy access to downtown Chattanooga.

Very satisfactory...we were assigned the dock we requested and they had the dockmaster come down and helped us tie our boats up!!

The people at Erwins were Awesome. Just so helpful. Great location for downtown Chattanooga activities. I would highly recommend as a boater to check it out. The only draw back which is out of Erwins control, you better bring a lot of buoys to protect your boat. It is on the main channel of the river so it is NOT a NO WAKE ZONE and my boat got destroyed, TV, Kitchen, Pictures, looked like I had been vandalized. Lucky for me I did put out extra Buoys and saved my Hull.

Great time on the river!

Mark and Brian were great. I was able to collect a package at the office. Wonderful customer service, great location. Thanks for everything!

Staff was very friendly and helpful docking! Made some special adjustments for our group of 7 boats which made our stay even more pleasurable! Thank you!

Area was tight, but Jill and Brian made it happen. Thanks for taking care of us guys! See you next year!

The staff were so accommodating to us as we had a trailer with nowhere to park it. Mr. Gentry went out of his way to help us and actually ended up allowing us to leave both our boat and trailer on the grass on his property. You rarely find someone who treats the customer as a customer! Thank you Mr. Gentry for your kindness and great customer service!

It was a nice marina.. Small, but nice. Only thing I wished to had was a shower in the bathroom area

Jill was great from the office. Brian was fantastic as DockMaster. Really helped us as newer boat owners, even helped us with our lines as we were coming into dock a couple of evenings.

The folks here are great. What's important to me is a strong pumpout system and theirs is the best. Only 2 things that i wild like to see change. The security at the bluff docks is very low. People are climbing the gate and getting to the boats. I've been told that dock lines have been cut. Second, with a fuel dock, the area should be a slow or no wake zone so we have had damage due to a strong wake from a big boat that flew by Very close.

the man working there was VERY good and helpful We got there late in the day so we ended up on the out side of the dock which was pretty rough. Overall good experience

Bluff Dock was excellent, easy to access, and and easy walk to our hotel. The secure access was very mush appreciated. One concern is the walk up from the dock to road access requires scaling a long flight of steps, with no apparent handicap ramp access, so if you are carrying a heavy load or have limited mobility this is not the dock for you.

Very busy waterfront. Wake board boats come right by and rock your boat badly. I had a fender burst! I saw one wake board bot almost kill 3 children. There should be a no wake zone between the bridges. Someone is gonna get injured!!!! Also notable lack of maintenance to the floating dock with broken cleats and areas of missing rub rails. I probably won’t return unless there is a no wake zone to prevent boat damage.

Brian Long did a great job of taking care of our group.

We had a great time & the service from Brian and the rest of the staff was above and beyond all of our expectations.

Staff was very helpful, and location is great.

Hard to rate this marina. It would’ve been 5 star, primarily for location, if they provided adequate amenities. One can walk EVERYWHERE from this marina—to enterprise, Whole Foods, excellent restaurants, museums, awesome aquariums, river walk, imax theatre—list goes on and on. BUT the marina itself was marginal— one bathroom next to marina office with two stalls only for entire marina, a LONG (1/3 mile?) walk away for most boaters, no showers available, and it smelled dirty. The first few nights we were docked at their “aquarium dock”—fixed docks, cement piers every 45 feet or so, sandwiching each space to tie-up, exposed to public walkway, no security. We would’ve loved to stay longer had there been better facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful—not their fault.

Long very low floating docks under noisy hyway bridge. Great location right downtown riverfront area. Ask for the Bluff dock and it has a security gate. Power, water and trash cans is all you get . Great town with free shuttle bus to Publix or Walmart .

The Bluff Dock is a wonderful place to stay and enjoy Downtown Chattanooga. An easy walk to the Hunter Art Museum, the Aquarium, and many wonderful restaurants. Across the river there is even more! Grocery shopping is nearby at Publix and Whole Foods. Staff at the Erwin Marine is super friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay and the staff are fantastic. We stay here whenever we can get to Chattanooga and we will definitely be back!

Good, but no showers or Laundry. There is also wakes that hot the river docks.

No convenient restrooms. No showers. Not pet friendly. No wi-fi. But good personnel & repair .

On a sea wall on the main channel with out a posted no wake zone. Very rough 2 days at slip. Very convenient location to downtown. No security with easy public access.

The location trumps everything so any negatives would be offset by that. However there are some negatives. First I agree that TWRA should make a NO WAKE zone between the bridges, you can get hit so hard broadside that it dislodges the fender between the boat and dock. Also the far gate was wide open and there were people on the docks that should not be there. The gate at the far end does not have an automatic return so if you leave it open it stays open. And for a suggestion, the docks are often empty. Offer weekly and monthly rates at progressively deeper discounts as the boating season dwindles. I stayed for a month for 400.00 a few years ago in November. Great deal for me and at least some revenue as the dock was mostly empty all month.

Great location to down town

Every was great with facilities but something has to be done about those wake board boats that curl up 3 foot waves and ruin the peaceful environment.

We like the Bluff dock. It is the most convenient to downtown, has the most pedestals and a security gate. Like all Chattanooga docks and marinas downtown, you are completely exposed to river traffic and wakes. But it is very worth it for a night or two. Jill does a great job.

Gate code did not work called and called and called and called ......... could not get in. Just happened a HOMELESS man told me how to get in. you need an emergency #. gate was not working when we left

The river flows very fast here at the dock and there is no one to help with the lines. My only other issue is that there is no internet on the docks. The riverfront has internet but it isn’t strong enough to cover the docking area so you need to go up to the street level to get it. Jill at the marina office is very helpful and accommodating but can’t do anything about the river or internet.

Coordinating with the Erwin marina thru dockwa app was painless. Transit dock was clean an well maintained. One issue has to do with Erwin’s dockwa listing. It states a 10% discount on fuel for transit users. We went to Erwin’s Chickamauga marina for fuel and was told by dockhand there was no additional discounts at the pump. Might want to confirm or has listing changed.

Very clean ! nice place to dock ! Love Chatt

The receptionist at Erwin was great; very courteous and helpful with our first DocWa reservation. THE BAD NEWS; there was no law enforcement on the water downtown - the small boat traffic is very heavy - numerous very discourteous boaters; we saw paddle boarders thrown off their boards and we nearly had cleats pulled out of our deck from the serious wakes.

Great view of fireworks

Easy to deal with, very accommodating
