    We stayed here one of the nights on our DELMARVA circumnavigation in August 2022. As others have said, this marina is quite nice, the folks are very helpful and the facilities are very clean. We will definitely visit Oxford again and stay at this marina.

    This has been my home port this season. It is without question the nicest marina I have ever used, whether seasonal or transient. An absolutely beautiful location, baby bear in size (just right), a great staff, great yard services, well stocked ships store, in an extremely charming town. There's even an EV charger a7 minute walk away. Beautiful new docks, clubhouse, laundry, heads, and pool as well. This place is the real deal.

    Beautiful marina with newly renovated docks, bathroom/showers, laundry, ships store and captains lounge. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. We borrowed bikes and rode into the quaint little town. There are about 3 restaurants (but only the Italian one was open on a Monday), a small museum and many lovely homes. It was a very restful stop.

    We stayed at the boatyard portion of this safe harbor marina. The staff is excellent. While we did not use many of the facilities there were clean and well kept. Dock Hands were knowledgable and courteous. The ship's store has most everything you would need.

    Recent renovations are superb - new docks, new bath/showers that are nicer than most homes, air-conditioned lounge and large pool area made staying here in the heat of a Chesapeake Bay summer very comfortable. Dockhands excellent and very accommodating. The town is small with only a couple restaurants, but walks through the well-cared for homes and lively gardens made this a terrific place to just relax. Highly recommend.

    Great marina, despite having to stay on boatyard docks because main marina undergoing major renovation; staff helpful; docks solid. Restaurant beside boatyard is vg; as is the ice creamery! Enterprise is 10 miles away but they will pick you up; took a car to visit St.Michaels and to shop in Easton [where Enterprise is located]; St.Michaels and the Maritime Museum is worth the trip.

    I have had major work done in this yard including replacing standing rigging, electrical, mechanical and painting. The work in this yard is second to none. Graham (GM) and Jason are highly skilled and very professional. There is no one better for electrical than Graham....no one. This is my go to yard for serious service. There the best there is on the east coast (that I have found).

    Radioed the fuel dock and got a prompt response. Had 3 dock hands helping us tie up. One very professional young woman stood out, Katie. She was sweet and boat savvy, helped us fuel up, pump out and delivered ice to the boat. Refreshing to see friendly smiling faces that know how to handle boats of all sizes. We will definitely return. Thanks Katie!

    Friendly staff with 2 boat hands that helped us dock. They have the best bathrooms on the bay. Clean and big. Walking distance to services, restaurants and grocery
