    Fairlee creek is a fun party place to go. Jellyfish Joels is very popular on the weekends and gets crowded. The holding is fair to poor. So do not be surprised if you need to reset your anchor. There are usually nesting Eagles in Fairlee Creek. The current is strong and you'll be fine if you pay attention to your channel markers when entering and leaving the creek.

    Worton Creek is a very nice 5 star marina. The water is very calm and there was very little boat traffic on Worton Creek creek the night we stayed. New and clean air conditioned bath house. Well stocked marine store with nice shopping. A great place to stay

    Very nice place to anchor. Awesome views at or near sunset. Good holding in sand and mud. You are allowed to go on Dobbins Island to the poles. Otherwise it is a private island. When crowded all boats close to the shore line use a stern anchor.

  • Marina Review for Ventnor Marina

    Ventnor Marina is a great location with an excellent staff. The facilities are clean and well kept. The slips are wide and you have deep water, 6-8 feet for docking you boat. This is a full service marine with a very good service department. The fuel prices are great. And the fuel dock is very big and can handle two boats at once, so no waiting to get fuel. The marina is on Bodkin Creek which is the best location on the Chesapeake. You are close to many day-trip locations. The Rock fishing from near Ventnor was excellent last summer (2016). You should check out this marina.
