Customer service is next to non existent! Called day after day, voicemail after voicemail and no return call. Finally found an email address which they responded to so we headed in. On our approach, we hailed them on the radio, no answer. Called on the phone & they finally answered and helped us in.

Checked in and found the marina raised their rates (as of April 2024) and now charges $3.25 per ft plus $20 per day for 50 amp power. We wanted to stay 1 week but No weekly rate so we left after 2 days and headed to north side of Deltaville where we paid 1/3 the price.

The 2 days we were here, we were on A Dock which is fixed and the fingers are very short so we had no real good way to get off our boat other than climb up off the side rail. It's Impossible from a swim platform as docks are too high.

Only plus, they have nice bikes

Good docks. Poor bathroom facilities. Deltaville boatyard next door gives excellent service

New docks are quite a bit higher than the old ones and do not yet have power or water (but we were charged the full price). Nice staff. Good restaurant. A convenient stop going up and down the bay.

Great marina and staff. Very clean showers and restrooms. Nice courtesy car available in 2-hour windows for grocery store, West Marine and a few restaurants. Enjoyed the marina and the area. Good area for boat parts or work if needed. The main road is not the most safe for bicycles.

So peaceful and calm. The best place we have been to get a great nights sleep. Planned on staying 2 nights but ended up staying three. Pool and the rest of the facilities are super nice. On site restaurant is lively and has good beer and food.

Very good marina. We just stayed for two nights and were on the fixed docks near the haulout, which were fine. Colin was excellent to work with. Laundry facility clean as were the bathrooms. Great casual restaurant & bar on site with dining inside or out. Picnic tables and swings in a small park setting in a rural area. Easy bike ride to the stores on the main road, but they also have a courtesy car. We would stop here again!

I read other reviews and hear there are floating docks. My review is based on the fixed dock I was assigned which had a small 6-8 foot finger dock and poles to lasso at your bow. My beam is 14.5 and they said the poles were 16 ft apart which I found tight.
Additionally the fairway between docks was narrow as I had to manuever to not touch the opposite docked boats.
I asked what the price of diesel was and they said $7.48 per gallon. To me this is crazy as I later found at the next marina a few miles away diesel at $5.80 per gallon.
All this being said... the marina has a courtesy car, nice boaters lounge, and their restaurant has a great view and good food.

Great little marina. Very clean and new floating docks. We stayed during very strong north winds. Had to extend our stay and it was no problem. Car is available for use to go to town if needed. Restaurant on site is great too. Colin is super nice , along with the while group at the boat yard. Plenty of areas to walk and take your pups too. Definitely would stay again.

Nice protected marina with a great, welcoming staff. Tight dogleg channel approach so be on your game. Slip was adequate although a few dock lights out so headlamps are a good idea for dock and parking lot. Tap and raw bar has great beer selections and an awesome rueben sandwich. Facilities were good and the loaner car welcome for jaunt to grocery store, hardware store and a fantastic seafood marketcalled "J &W". Be sure to check out "Nauti Nell's Marine Consignment and Gift shop.

Stayed September 3 and 4, 2021. Had reservations for one night but changed plans and wanted to stay two. Called Dennis and he worked us in even though it was a holiday weekend. Overall nice facilities. Clean well kept. Nice courtesy car to run to town.

Stayed here in early May 2021 and couldn't have been more pleased. Wonderful staff, docks and facilities in great shape. Even offered pumpout service at your slip. Onsite restaurant was closed the days of our visit, but it looked promising.

Courtesy car available for quick (2 hour) run to hardware, grocery and a marine consignment shop (Nauti Nell's) not to be missed.

Dennis is an excellent dockmaster. Ernie is the local guy for doing the Uber/Lyft thing. He takes cash. Bathrooms are extremely nice and well cared for. It was a great place to get out of the Bay and the wind.

We anchored outside of DM in Jackson Creek. We were welcomed at the marina when we went ashore to pay the $5/day dinghy fee. We declined a facility fee, preferring to use our boat's facilities, but it is available. We were allowed to use the bicycles, which we did to reach The Table restaurant (warning, take headlamps for after dark). We also were allowed to use the courtesy van to do shopping in town! At lastly, we were invited to attend their annual customer appreciation picnic with crabs, oysters, burgers and beer. Now that was nice! Thank you DM!

Almost hesitant to review because it's so GREAT. Super nice staff. Lovely new pool and docks. Bikes, courtesy car, great wifi. Just follow the markers in and stay closer to the last red. We will definitely be back!

We originally intended to stay 2-3 nights to wait out some bad weather. We stayed a month and enjoyed every day. The channel into the small cove was tight, but we never saw less than 8 feet. They put almost all transients on the floating dock that is pretty new. The tide range is small, and the fixed docks would not have been a problem. The marina is nestled in a small cove with 1-3 acre lot homes along the shoreline. The cove always had 4-6 boats anchored in the middle with 9 feet of water. The only waves were from occasional jet skis that circled inside the cove. The staff could not be nicer. Dennis is the Dockmaster, and he is very good at anticipating the needs of incoming boaters. He has a staff of three professional young adults that know their jobs. They always had quick smiles and were very helpful. The courtesy car / SUV was always available and clean. Dennis keeps two victory gardens of good size and you can pick from a wide range of vegetables. The lounge is quiet and clean. The laundry room is small , but the price per load is lower than most marinas. The commercial district is small and a short mile away. The number of restaurants is very limited. They are closed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, but alternate so not that all are closed at the same time. We never had a bad meal at The Table that had the best food by far. The grocery store is limited and small, but adequate. J&W
Seafood had great prepared salads and cooked seafood for easy take out. It also doubles as a bait shop. The eels were huge and cheap. The transient boaters were great with the exception of one ass that jetted about as people yelled slow down. He clipped the bow of a nice Carver. See our separate review of the boat yard. This was a great stop.

Tw0 previous reviews are "spot on!" Two seperatseparate entities Deltaville Marina and Deltaville Boat Yard but work hand and hand with each other. The friendly attitude extends to all staff. Service by DBY is nonpareil. Have both slip at new floating docks and vessel undergoing refit at DBY...including electrical, air conditioning, upgrade of electronics and engine annual maintenance.
New in slip fueling and pumpout being installed now! New pool also coming. Mini AGLCA & MTOA gatherings have been held there already this springtime.

Fabulous new floating docks, very clean and spacious shower facilities, friendly & helpful staff, a loaner vehicle for running errands, and a well thought-out laundry room. What more does a transient boater need? Repairs? The boat yard is right next door!

Weathered in four days at Deltaville Marina. Jacqui could not have more helpful. Wonderful place to just relax. Facilities were extremely clean and well kept. Would stop again going North.
