Great spot. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, golf cart use and close to everything you will need. Only downside is the lack of a pool!

Very friendly staff work hard to meet all your needs. Nice clean captains lounge available 24 hours. Very clean restrooms and showers. A boaters supply store handles many items that you may need. Located in a town that takes you back in time. Many good places to eat. Use the marina's golf cart if you would like. Protected waters. Some fixed and some floating docks. The owner is a boater as well and lives on site so he is aware of how conditions impact other boaters. Great stop.

Great marina! We were met by 2 line handlers who did a great job. Everyone from the owner Bill to his staff were very friendly and helpful. Very clean restrooms and you can even use their loaner golf cart. I would definitely stop there again.

I'd give more starts, but can't. Bill and his staff are fantastic. They have a golf cart available for trips around town and to the Food Lion.

Great marina and town! The staff is friendly & accommodating. Reasonable rates on marine services & supplies. Located closer to town center and beaches on the Potomac (both are great!), and the provide use of golf cart for exploring area and going to Food Lion for provisions. Well-appointed Captains Lounge, including some grocery items for sale ( e.g., eggs & milk), and individual bathrooms with toilet, sink, and shower. Bill and his team are great! We loved our stay! It's a perfect stop 1/2 way up the Potomac to DC (or when going back downriver). And Colonial Beach is a gem of a town.

What a nice stop and enchanting town. Bill and his team have put a ton of effort in improving the facilities and their customer service is excellent. They have nice dock, excellent showers, a marine supply store, repair facilities all located in a protected cove. They also have a golf cart to use to go visit the grocery store or one of the many restaurants in town.

After reading the above comments we decided to stay here. What a great marina. Fabulous marina, super helpful owner and staff. They helped us with all problems big and small. Complimentary golf cart was wonderful. We will only stay here when we return.

Navigation charts make this look like a questionable endeavor. However, the channel is well marked and deep all the way to this particular marina. If you need repairs performed or need to have your boat hauled, experienced mechanics and a 25-ton travel lift are on site. Floating docks and clean private bathrooms are always a bonus, but a golf cart that you can use for a run to the grocery store or a meal at one of several restaurants is exceptional.
The marina owner is a "collector", and has a plethora of boating treasures, wooden boats, cars, photos, and memorabilia of all sorts on the property for you to peruse.
