Review for Pirates Cove Marina-MD

Rating: 4

This is a very nice, small, well-maintained marina - one dock. It accommodates boats up to about 55'. There is a very nice restaurant at the landward end of the dock and an outside bar area that operates in the summer. Both restaurant and outside bar have live music. Another nice restaurant is within walking distance. I deducted a star because sometimes during the summer the outside bar can get a bit noisy for boats in slips near the shore, and the WiFi is not terribly strong for boats in the outer slips.
The Galesville Yacht Yard is next door and provides a wide range of repair and maintenance services. The Hartge Yacht Harbor is 'just around the corner' - and also provides repair and maintenance services.
There are no convenient places to get provisions. A High's store is about a mile away. Other shopping centers (one has a West Marine) are 15-minutes (or so) away by car.
