Great Marina - clean bathrooms and great location. Walk into town, don't miss pizza at Ava's and breakfast at Black Water Bakery. Scott was a great dock master - directed us in perfectly and took great care of us. We'll be back.

7-14-24 Well marked channel to the marina. Great communication with marina on approach and to the assigned slip. Very friendly and informative dockhand and provided welcome bag and local knowledge.

This is a nice, well run marina. Staff was friendly and helpful, and gave a good briefing of the various food and drink offerings in town. A short walk to the downtown area past historic houses. Great murals in town. Restrooms were clean. There is a large park along the marina. Several people stopped to us. Would gladly stay here again.

Nice Marina next to a park. Restrooms were very clean and there is a washer and dryer for $. )Beware the dryer did not automatically shut off.) It's very quiet town with lots of dog walkers. You can walk downtown to restaurants, shops and a great brewery RAR but it is a least a mile there and back. There is not a lot to do because Ubers/Lyfts are very limited. There are free bikes to borrow at the marina. Harriet Tubman Museum was only open Thursday through Sunday 12-3.

Very nice stay. Marina is good quality, great location to walk into town. WiFi good, bathrooms well maintained and clean. Scott the dock master very helpful on arrival and with local advice on restaurants. Great walk through old historic homes. Harriet Tubman museum here and the Tubman Mural right downtown is awesome. If you have bikes, recommend riding around to find all the murals in town. Grocery is easy by bike, a little far to walk.

Nice marina, clean and air conditioned rest rooms and decent WiFi. Stayed here a week and were quite comfortable on a T-head. Became a little rocky when there was a lot of boat traffic outside the marina's breakwater, but no problems at night. Scott and Perry were great at helping us dock and talking us into the marina via the channel. Had the added bonus of Cambridge's 4th of July fireworks. We'll be back!

We ducked in here as a gale approached. Could not have been better. They put us in an oversized slip inside a T, plenty of stout pilings on which to tie. Waves crashed on their new sea wall but it was nicely calm inside the marina. After the gale, Muskrat Festival was held in the adjacent park. I can honestly say I have never had better muskrat!
Great marina, great service. We will return.

Mike & Scott, both dockmaster were outstanding from start to finish. They provided us their mobile phone numbers and we were able to discuss details of our visit well before arrival. Can't ask for better service!

Dock Master Mike signed us in onboard, Rates reasonable and we stayed 30 days July 2019 on T-Head of E-Piet. Our 50 ft trawler was many times and unexpectedly rolled VIOLENTLY and slammed against pilings with six 10x26 fenders out horizontal on pilings. ALL WAKES on Chop Tank River Roll right down the fairway with no wave attenuation at all from the big floating dock surrounding this marina. The crab boats going in to Cambridge Creek to by wide open throttle and start their day at 4:00 A.M. The sailboats also rocked as bad but are tied and centered in their slips: Will give Marina 3 stars due to VIOLENT rolling conditions. WI-FI not working at marina or even in town Library
