We were docked on E dock. Our weekend was filled with nonstop charter groups, very loud music blasting from charter boats at all hours of the night, our boat was almost hit several times by charters coming in and out of the slip next to us, the dock was a cluttered mess with chairs, bikes, gas cans, generators, hookah pipes, and various other stuff. Trash cans were always overflowing due to charter boat trash and I am fairly certain we witnessed several drug deals on the dock. We’ve visited this marina several times over the years and this by far has been our worst experience.

WG Editor Comment:
Thank you for staying with us at The Yards Marina and for bringing these concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. Over holiday weekends, we do experience increased foot traffic from charters. The music should have been turned off by 11:00 p.m. in accordance with our quiet time policy, and we regret that this was not enforced properly. We will ensure that our security team addresses this more effectively in the future.

As for your concerns about inappropriate behavior on the docks, we want to clarify that while marijuana use is legal in D.C. and boaters are permitted to smoke on their vessels, we have a zero-tolerance policy for any illegal activities, and we are confident that no such incidents occurred. Lastly, we understand your concerns about trash collection. We did our best to manage the increased volume over the weekend, and while it was cleared each morning, we apologize for any disruption this caused during the night. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to improve our services. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our marina team directly if you have any further concerns. We hope to welcome you back for an improved visit in the future.

Peter Curcio was the dock master on hand when we arrived. He was outstanding and helped with lines and power. He was great!

Peter was extremely helpful. When our power cable didn't work with the sensitive GFIs at the marina, he was able to find a loaner for us from another marina. Thank you!

Brian and his crew were extremely helpful and courteous. If it would not have been for them I would have given a lower rating. We were extremely disappointed in the bathhouse. The bathrooms were being shared/used by the club next door in the evening. There was a line of people waiting to use the facilities. The next morning when we went back the bathrooms were disgusting and unacceptable.

Docks in great shape and visually kept up. Bathrooms barely air conditioned. Shower head broken. Staff (when there) extremely friendly and helpful.

The dock hands were very helpful.The shower area needs an exhast fan and a shelf and hooks to hang your stuff. There is no where to put your things in the shower except on the sink or on the floor.

Brand new Marina. Two blocks on Yards waterfront walkway to Nats Stadium. Outstanding staff. Secure with dock gate code from Dockmaster . Wonderful floating docks. Easy approach in Anacostia R., DC. Plenty of depth. Only drawback is no toilets/showers til Fall 2017. Once they are up and operating, will be 5 stars. We will be back. Capt Rick McHarg, EAGLE ONE, Sea Ray 450 EB
