Staff were very nice and facilities just what we needed in early January 2023. They allowed us to use their courtesy car which made our run to the grocery and HW store super easy.

Floating dock in a very tight fairway. Very nice restroom and showier facilities. 3 rooms each for men and women, with toilet, shower, and sink.

Pub has a friendly atmosphere, but the burgers were pre cooked and reheated (not even as good as McDonalds). My wife had a pretty good Chef salad though.

Great location, well maintained docks. Friendly staff and annual slip holders. Facilities were showing their age but clean. Is more of a boatyard feel than the higher end marina I would have expected for the price. Highly recommend Annmarie Gardens and the Maritime Museum, and the marina provided bikes were a great way to get to these and the grocery store.

The marina staff was very helpful when we had to get towed in. They helped get us in a slip on one engine. They also had a mechanic lined up the next day to troubleshoot the issue. The slip was quiet. There are mostly big fishing boats here. There was more political signage on other boats than one would expect. The bathrooms are individual with showers.

Friendly staff. Well maintained floating docks. Several restaurants (Bugeye Grill was great) and boardwalk within walking distance. Bikes available.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the bikes available to use. Town within walking distance, as well as a marine museum that was very interesting.

This marina has an easy to find fuel dock and pump out, with very friendly and helpful dock hands. (Look for the yellow building) Don't confuse it with Solomons Yacht Club, which is right next door. We were on D dock, which is an easy walk to the Blue Crab Pub, which also houses the showers and laundry room. The pub serves sandwiches and drinks. When you step out of the pub, you are at the pool area. The grounds were very dog-friendly too. As noted in another review, boaters do not always obey the no wake zone, but the rocking and rolling stops once sunset arrives.This is not a super fancy marina, but it certainly had everything we wanted.

Great floating docks, gas dock, pool & pool bar. Clean restrooms and showers. Only downside is that docks are close to boat traffic. It is supposed to be 6kn, but not obeyed and boats travel right by the docks creating a lot of boat rocking during peak times. Not bad while sleeping, but worth mentioning. We would definitely return.
