About


Port Annapolis Marina offers quick, bridge-free access for boaters to the Chesapeake, and is only a short drive (or shorter dinghy ride!) from locally flavored Eastport and Historic Downtown Annapolis.

We have the area’s best full-service marina. Yachtsmen of all stripes can enjoy a comfortable, secure, family-oriented marina. Shoreside facilities include an outdoor pool, the Wet Dog Café, laundry room, fitness center and shower rooms. A small putting green overlooks the main dock – and barbecues, old oak trees, patio deck and screened gazebo offer excellent cookout opportunities. The Overlook Pavilion is the ideal outdoor space for wedding receptions or corporate events, tucked away in the prettiest corner of our 16 acres.

On-site is one of the area’s most well-stocked marine supply stores. The do-it yourself sailor will find a relaxed atmosphere in a quiet boatyard surrounded by woods and waterfront, a place to get down to work and get things done, without having to leave the yard searching for parts. And when Murphy’s Law strikes, the professionals on hand can help solve any problem from pulling a prop, to standing rigging work, to re-finishing a blistered hull. Or the guys in the boatyard can take the reigns straight away, allowing you stress-free satisfaction, knowing that the work is getting done correctly and in a timely fashion.

The Assistant General Manager James was most helpful to this deaf captain. He boarded my boat and took me to my T-dock and helped me tie up. I would never made it without his help. Port Annapolis Marina is a well run operation. Thanks, Walt Parsons.

Great marina with friendly staff. Marina is very well kept and it is perfect that you can get the water taxi from the end of the dock. So all of Annapolis is at your disposal. If you have a dinghy, the whole area is great for putting around in. Always have a good time at this marina and is a go to for going to Annapolis.

We came here on the recommendation of friends last week. Dockhand was very nice and helpful. We were at the end of D dock near the T head with a lovely view. The grounds are landscaped beautifully but a little hard to take a long walk with our dogs as areas are separated by parking lots. We were well aware this was a working marina ( as is our home marina) so not too surprised by this. My only issue was that there was a catamaran on the hard near the end of our dock being worked on and was covered in plastic which blocked the path from our dock to the grassy areas and the bath house so we had to walk right past the travel lift which usually had a boat in the sling being power washed which was very messy. That was just bad planning on the part of the workers but it did taint our experience a bit. Pool is nice, bakery great and we did make use of the fitness center which is small but well equipped and well air conditioned. We plan to come back again and hopefully not run into the issue of the path being blocked.

We couldn't have had a more friendly and professional welcome by Scott. After we were safely secured we received a lovely welcome pack detailing the local area. The amenities are amongst the best at the marinas we have stayed at. The Wifi is pretty good also. To top it off the bakery on site is also fantastic. We loved our stay and will be back. #sailingsophistikate

Excellent stay. Staff was very friendly and professional. A last minute change to our arrival date was easily handled. Pier and facilities are in great shape. Black Market Bakery is a must for breakfast or lunch. Only complaint is that the "days" for the mobile pumpout were not provided when we checked in. Complicated our departure but still a recommended marina.

Very clean restrooms and showers. Sock master Ron and Scott were very helpful and customer focused. Good work out room and the backers cafe on site has amazing baked goods. The crumb cake, croissants and muffins were to die for. Water taxi available to get to Annapolis water front. The only downside was the service department. Despite making arrangements ahead of time, they blew us off. We ended up doing the work ourselves.

Although we were packed in like sardines, the staff at the marina was extremely helpful and responsive. We had a problem with the head and questioned a service man about it. He quickly came to the boat to diagnose it. Almost unheard of at our home marina. They offered a shuttle into town to wherever we wanted to go and the pool area and grilling areas were very picturesque. Plenty of room for everyone. I would highly recommend this marina.

This is the best place I have ever had my boat serviced. I deal with marinas all over the East Coast, from Florida to New Jersey. These people are absolutely the best. They restored a flip for me and it was like new when they finished! Plus the place is beautiful for transients as we were able to stay onsite in a monthly slip. Nice pool overlooking the creek and great laundry & bathrooms! I would recommend this marina to anyone who needs service or warranty work done on any size vessel. Very nice people.

We arrived just after 5pm. Marina did not answer the VHF or the phone and there was no dockhand to assist. Docks are quite old and narrow. We received no orientation to the facility or area, and did not see or find any of the advertised amenities (no restaurant, no laundry, no ice, no wifi password). Marina is not near anything of interest that we could see. A grocery store is 1.5 miles away via Uber. I would stay here only if you have no other options.

Very good facility with active work yard. Docked on a Thursday for long weekend retreat. Slip assignment was not the greatest as i was assigned D-5 as maneuvering was challenging due to the number of boats lined up at dock. Electrical outlet needed service as it was pulling away from pedestal. Friday morning was awakened early due to active travel lift. Pool was great and facilities are well maintained.

We were a family of 4 staying for the weekend at this marina. Staff was friendly and responsive; pool was awesome; new lounge chairs, plenty of tables and umbrellas, clean pool area and a little cafe open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are also gas grills and picnic tables available for use. Dog-friendly and a short dinghy ride or Uber into downtown Annapolis; you can walk the grounds - there is a nearby trail. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. We loved this marina! It was quiet and peaceful but close to downtown Annapolis.

Our boat, La Vie Dansante, is a Fountaine Pajot Helia - a 44' sailing catamaran. We chose Port Annapolis for a pre-voyage haulout based on recommendations and family events I had in Maryland during the month of October. It was a great choice. Richard’s team was competent and professional, taking care of a wide range of maintenance requirements including fiberglass repair, metal brace fabrication, engine maintenance, saildrive repair, rudder bearing installation, standing rigging repair, bottom painting and hull polishing. The techs and mechs who worked on La Vie Dansante were courteous, timely and capable. It was also nice that the yard didn't restrict our access and work on our boat, so we got quite a few projects complete. Pricing was fair, and the cost for a number of tasks was absorbed by the yard for training of junior personnel who were always well supervised. We wound up being on the hard for longer than expected (3 weeks) based on some newly discovered issues that needed to be resolved, but when we needed parts, they arrived faster than estimated and the team got on the job right away. Also, the yard was accommodating and offered top notch facilities for our use while staying there. Staying aboard while on the hard is never a luxurious experience, but we enjoyed our time in the yard this time around. At the completion of repairs, the mechanic who worked on my engines and saildrives went on a “River Run” with us to put the gear through its paces. We left Port Annapolis with confidence in the diverse work that was completed on our complex boat, and ready to continue our adventure south. I will haul out here again if the time comes and I’m back in the Bay.
