Family owned marina and shop. We didn't have any work done but Beau was great and helpful. We've heard they do good honest work from a local. Diesel price was low so we filled up and then stayed on the end of the fuel dock. Very quiet area - Bathrooms large and clean. Didn't use but they have 1 washer and dryer available. Walking to restaurant nearby and scootered to West Marine. Depth was 6 plus feet...would stay here again.

A family owned and operated marina and yard. The mechanics and techs know what they're doing and work quickly. A quick bike ride to WestMarine, restaurants and a decent hotel within walking distance. Don't miss NautiNell's if they're open when you're in the area!

I've dealt with Chesapeake Cove for over 25 years now & have always been treated very well. In addition to having excellent, clean & well-maintained grounds, they have a store stocked with most everything needed to get you going. Two years ago, the crew removed the clutch from our boat, completely rebuilt it & it was reinstalled without a single scratch or spec of dirt throughout the entire process. The clutch has thousands of miles on it now with no problems whatsoever. Their crew of detailers also did a very professional job restoring our faded & chalky hull to like new.

Bob was a wonderful host. He waited for us to arrive past their closing time to make sure we got all hooked up and the electric was all set. Love his fry sense of humor. Best fuel prices around and the service was over the top!

CCM has an outstanding repair facility. Bob and his team are extremely knowledgeable, efficient and customer oriented. They kept me informed every step of the repair process. I have made Chesapeake Cove Marina my go to facility for future Maintenance and-repairs on my boat.

Just called Chesapeake Cove and spoke with a nice lady, apparently the short rude man in the red jacket is the owner, She is his wife and she said they were closed on Sunday, she said my husband called her to complain as well. For the record, it was not him who called your office, it had to had been someone else, not us.
We were told you were open on Sunday, I wish your employee or husband would had just said that your closed, we would had just left with no needed drama. Thankyou for talking with me.

This past Sun, April 7th, we arrived at Chesapeake Cove around 1:45pm. We had called the marina two days prior to verify that they were open. A very nice gal stated they are open on weekends. She said when we get to their location call them. We called and it went to voicemail and my husband left a message. We arrived 25 minutes later and there was a nice mechanic working on another boat who greeted us and said they were open and he went to office to get assistant. Two guys came out and out of the two, one in a red jacket treated us like crap, I attempted to toss him a line to tie up and he dodged it stating, “I ain’t gonna let you hit me with that, your boy should learn how to dock his boat”. Oh my god, I could not believe how rude this ignorant older gentleman was. My BOY who has a name, my husband has been on the water since he was 9 yrs old and is a respectful knowledgeable boater; how dare you treat us like that. I’m sorry we never got to experience this marina because they had great reviews; one bad rotten egg can cost a company customers, in this case IT DID. We left, we will never go there again!

We haven't stayed here, yet. But Chesapeake Cove has a phenomenal repair facility and parts department. Bob has been in business for over 30 years at this location. He knows his stuff, runs a tight ship, can get the parts you need and has a squared away facility. They tuned my old props a few weeks back and did a superb job. They also repaired our generator last year.
