9-12-24 Provide draft details when making the reservation. We timed an increasing tide to come in with 5 ft draft boat, deeper water is close to the permanently moored ships as you approach the marina slips. Very helpful staff will assist with directions. I had 6.5 ft at 1.6 feet above low tide using Philadelphia Pier #11 tide station. 6 ft at low tide in our slip. Very nice 50 foot floating docks with locked gates and night security. Everyone throughout the city was very friendly and courteous.

This is a great city to explore, the history here is overwhelming. This city was one of the highlights of our Chesapeake Bay summer cruise.

Plan to come and go at high tide. Very secure! Great staff. Nice, well-maintained floating docks. Walking distance to historic district and Reading Terminal Market. So much to do. We'll definitely come back!

Great location with easy access to most of the historical sites within 1 1/2. Steve and Jimmy were a great help. Low drawback is if you have a draft of over 4' you could be sitting on the soft bottom at low tide.
