The marina is large and situated on a beautiful peninsula surrounded by deep water. New owners recently took over, and you can tell they take pride in the property, as they are making a lot of updates to the grounds. Easy walking distance to tiny town of Galesville. Be sure to have lunch at Pirates Cove, which has an extensive menu with lots of healthy options, and has dog friendly outdoor seating. I deducted one star, as the transient mooring we stayed on (as well as all of the other moorings) was almost impossible to hook up to, as the penant is about 6 inches long. How does one tie off to this from the bow of the boat without 8 feet long arms? You can't…. You have to lower your swim platform, and back into it, then walk it up to the bow. Not ideal.
I mentioned this to the office staff, and we will see if it gets resolved.
Overall, worth a one night stay.

Great location 20min by car from Annapolis. Great staff. New Owners have made extensive upgrades to docks, wifi, etc. Office provides passes to the off site pool (in season). Be warned: the West River is hard on strainers and watermakers.

Lovely setting, quiet evenings. 6-7 feet of water. Well maintained docks and bathhouse. Full service boat yard with great staff.
