We really enjoyed this lovely marina. Easy pumpout. Beautiful grounds and nice facilities. Would have given 5 stars if the bathrooms/showers were not unisex. Hate following men. Did not have to go to office for check in which was nice but we never got internet password or other info. Had to chase down dockhand to get codes for buildings.

Harrington Harbour North, and its sister marina Harrington Harbour South, are probably the best marinas on the Chesapeake Bay. While we always stay at Harrington Harbour North, both marinas are very well maintained and have every marina amenity you could ever want – restrooms, showers, large swimming pool, picnic areas, exercise rooms, laundry rooms, pump out and quiet lounges. They are also exceptionally environmentally friendly by preserving the wetlands and natural animal habitats around the marinas.

North has extensive number of sail and power boating service and repair businesses, including a West Marine store, located on the property. It also has the Dockside restaurant on the property, and several other fine eateries within a short walking distance. The only thing lacking at the North marina is a fuel dock, but Harrington Harbour South is just a couple of miles away and provides discounts for Harrington Harbour North customers. There are also other fueling locations in the creek.

South is more of a resort marina that has banquet facilities and is a very popular wedding venue. It has a small convenience store that sells sandwiches.

Transit slips at both marinas are a bit pricy, but if you use any of the amenities or need extensive service/repairs for your boat, it is worth extra expense. For the more budget conscience, consider Shipwright Marina, also on Taylor Creek.

August 13 2022 Beautiful nice marina but! We had traveled 8 hours at trawler speed get to this marina after reading the wonderful reviews. The reviews are accurate with outstanding nice facilities. Had dinner at nice restaurant and enjoyed our stay. But we booked our stay using Dockwa and the stated rate was $2.50' when we booked. We were charged $3 a foot by the marina. I questioned why we were charged $3 when it was advertised at $2.50'. They refused to be honest and charged us the $3 price with only explanation they would contact Dockwa to change price. False advertisement beware of what you actually pay here. Would be five stars Plus if they would be reputable business and charge rate published.

Great marina with nice restaurant and bar on site. We were here in off season but place is like a resort, very well maintained. The Dockmaster David was very helpful as were the dock hands. Food at restaurant was very good and live music as well. They have a West Marine on site and courtesy car to take you to markets

LOVELY Marina, among the prettiest we've stayed at. Fantastic amenities, gorgeous grounds. Pool well maintained, staff constantly taking water readings. Nice docks and staff. Restaurant on site a bonus. Not a lot to do nearby, nice bike ride into small neighboring town.

Very disappointed after three years as a loyal slip holder we were charged a weekly rate for a slip when we launched one day “late” due to adverse weather conditions and coronavirus issues. With Coronavirus, one would think a MD business would work with customers for a fair and equitable solution. They made their money on this transaction, we will never stay there again or tell or friends to do so either.

The amenities were fabulous - a large beautiful beach with swimming area, free paddle boards and kayaks, pool, covered patio for grilling and eating outdoors, great restaurants, beautiful landscaping, wonderful, helpful staff. Also, newish docks. Couldn't ask for more!

Very attentive to all needs. Clearly demonstrate consistent heavy re-investing back into the property and facilities. Compatible pricing, resort like.

Best on the Bay. Staff is great, very attentive and friendly. Ammenities are top notch from the pool to the open spaces to the "Eco-path" along the waters edge. Onsite restaurant, Dockside, serves great food at a reasonable price.

Wonderful country setting, land, trees, open spaces, great pool/boaters lounge and marine service companies on site. Away from the bay so there is not much wave action if rough weather.
