About

Welcome to Willoughby Marina, one of the easiest in-and-out transient and long-term stops for boaters traveling through the Norfolk, Virginia area and the Chesapeake Bay.

Conveniently located near the ICW, and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, Willoughby Marina is a practical and welcoming stopover for captains looking for easy access, friendly service, and a comfortable place to tie up.

We offer transient and long-term slips, including options for monohulls, catamarans, and larger vessels on our new 105' concrete T-Head. Amenities include: pump-out service, showers, laundry, 24/7 surveillance and an on-site restaurant, Willoughby Fish House, just steps from the docks.

Boaters staying with us are close to Ocean View beaches, local seafood spots, downtown Norfolk, Nauticus and the Battleship Wisconsin, Waterside District, and other Hampton Roads attractions. Ocean View and East Beach are known for beachside communities, seafood, sand, and sun, while downtown Norfolk offers dining, entertainment, waterfront attractions, and museums.

Whether you are stopping for a night, waiting on weather, exploring Norfolk, or looking for a longer-term slip, Willoughby Marina is a convenient, friendly, and easy place to land. We hope to see you soon!

Willoughby Marina - Bryan & Kathleen K.Jul 01, 2026

We arrived at Willoughby under a very strong blow. Very thankful for several hands at the dock helping to get us tied up! We had no issues with power or water during our stay. Well maintained docks, restrooms, and onsite restaurant were all welcomed amenities! Being so close to the Norfolk International Airport was a bonus for us as I had a flight home. Uber was easily accessible for trips to the touristy waterfront. The goings-on around the Naval yard made for some great viewing too. If you're looking for a budget friendly, relaxed stay and not high-end resort amenities l, Willoughby fits the bill.

Marina Response:

Thank you so much, Bryan & Kathleen! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. It means a lot to hear that our team was there to help you get safely tied up, especially with the conditions you arrived in. We’re also so glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to take advantage of our location while exploring the area. We hope you’ll make your way back to Willoughby the next time you’re in the Norfolk area! We’re excited to begin construction on our brand-new transient dock later this year/early next year, and we can’t wait to welcome guests to the upgraded facilities. We’d love the opportunity to have you back and show you everything that’s in store. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again soon!
