Great power, depth, location & docks. This is a working boat yard, not a resort marina, but we need a slip, power & access to town so it's perfect. Why pay for stuff you don't need or use? From past stay's I remember the restrooms are rustic, but operational (reason for 4, versus 5 stars). The location is 2-3 blocks from downtown shops & restaurants. We draw six feet & had water under keel on A dock. This is our favorite marina in St Michaels, will always return.

A very pleasant marina with great access via dinghy or walking to many great restaurants. Wouldn't hesitate recommending a night or a weekend here. Very friendly and helpful staff as well!

Best rates we could find in St. Michaels and the location is great, everywhere we wanted to go was walkable. Communication was great, staff was friendly and very helpful, docking was very easy. It's a working boatyard with few amenities which is perfectly fine for us. Only reason for 4 stars is because it's not a resort style marina. We plan to come back to this marina for Oysterfest in the fall.

Rates posted are not correct. We paid $2 a foot LOA, plus $20 for power. Weekend rates are higher.

Well protected, solid docks (fixed). Great location in a great town. Nice folks. A working boatyard (which I am partial to). No pump-out service available. And the wifi is poor and is not usable. If the wifi worked, I'd give it 5 stars
