Under new ownership since July 2023. Chuck and Linda are the owners of the Marina & restaurant Leadbelly's.
Fuel and pumpout available. Owners are very accommodating and working hard to upgrade the marina.
Transient fee is $1.00 per foot. Docks are fixed wooden but there's only 1' of tide.View location on the Waterway Guide Explorer

This is my first visit to Tidewater. I'm leaving here on a delivery for Annapolis. I think there's a lot of potential for this to be a 5 star marina. It's mostly nice, but some areas are in need of repair. Staff was gone when we arrived. Other boaters said the staff is minimal but friendly. Restroom and shower was nice. Floating pool has been removed. Kind of a strange feel that the marina is in auto-pilot.

The parks are connected by a paved boardwalk and provide easy to the city center with shops and restaurants.
