Our dog walk area is located on the north side of George Street, not in the grass or landscaped areas along the docks or bulkheads. Doggy dodo should be placed in the dumpsters, not in the small trashcans. Only small pets are allowed in the marine store. No pets are permitted in the pool area, activity center or restrooms.

We look forward to your visit.
We have a 47 foot sailboat with a 6' draft. The Sassafras River was easy to navigate and the Sassafras Harbor Marina has convenient T head docks for transients. We were able to borrow 2 bikes to bike up the hill to the Kitty Night hotel and restaurants.. incredible views of the harbor. The marina staff where kind and help, definitely worth a trip up the Sassafras River
We had a great time. Clean marina and facilities. Dock hands and office staff very helpful. Will definitely return next year for the parade and fireworks. Great food and drinks within walking distance.
We had another wonderful stay. Our old review holds.... We love staying at Sassafras Harbor Marina. Joe, the owner, and Susan, the dockmaster, take amazing care of the facility and always make us feel welcome and part of the family. We are so happy to have found this little gem.
Good location near restaurants. Friendly staff. Good facilities- pool, marine store., laundry. Only suggestion is to improve WIFI.
This marina is very nice , clean exceptionally nice staff . Will be returning
Really nice marina in a quiet location. Dockmaster (Susan) is very responsive, gracious and accommodating. Looking forward to returning!
Friendly and helpful. The location and facilities were great. Everything was clean and well kept.
Very very positive experience at this marina. We are sailors from Nova Scotia and wanted a marina to tuck into for a week because we had almost 1000 nautical miles behind us with little rest and we were having problems with our alternator. Joe arranged for an electrician the day we arrived and we were all fixed up by day two! Joe and Susan were extremely welcoming. The facilities are plentiful and very clean. The pool was fantastic and the members very friendly. We needed to provision and the nearest large grocery store was about a 15 minute drive, so Joe lent us his truck! Couldn’t ask for a better place to hang out for a week. We highly recommend staying here! S/V Chill Out - September 2023
Nice spot reasonable rates and good facilities
We will continue to return to this wonderful marina! Always feel welcome here. The pool is fun. There's a great little breakfast place and a well stocked boat store.
What a lovely , warm and welcoming marina! Definitely one of our top stays as we do the loop!! Susan and Joe and the staff have been so helpful! The amenities are clean and spotless. The pool is huge and sparkling clean. The cafe is delicious, Maryland crab soup and cheesesteak!!! The Marina Store is very well equipped for all engine essentials, not to mention the gift side of the store! Such a hidden gem! Wi-Fi is good. We stayed on a T head and in spite of strong winds at night, we didn't lose any sleep. There is a drawbridge next door, but that quieted down after dark. Do not pass this marina by! The Sassafras River is lovely. Worth visiting!!!!
Pretty area, quiet. Nice to have a couple of restaurants and nice marine store nearby.
Marina staff friendly and helpful, great pool. Good restaurant on site plus cute cafe for breakfast. Two additional restaurants an easy dingy ride away.
Helpful friendly service when docking. Nice pool. Accommodated our group in the activity room. I'd like to come back
great place to stay, Great people and facilities. Three restaurants and all good!
Friendly staff, clean facilities, nice well stocked store. Cafe on site, 2 restaurants a short walk Maybe not glamorous but very nice
After my first 2 months there I was hooked. My wife and I started late 2013 season but once there it was great>very friendly> professionally run> the owner talked to me every time and a fully stocked marine store, pool and the granary is in walking distance I was so impressed that I am there for the entire 2014 season. Stop buy and see!
