Except for the weekends you can use the big dock. It is in very nice condition. We anchored off in 12 ft of water it was a bit rolly with 15 knot winds all night. The grounds on the island are immaculate and well worth your time for a visit

Look for a gray building with a red stripe. There is a large dock in front of it. You are allowed to park on that dock for up to two hours for free during the day. There is also a dock on St Clement's Island and you may park on it overnight. No camping on St Clements island is allowed. The anchorage is very exposed in front of the museum. The museum is very nice and well worth your time to explore. The museum is in the gray building with the red stripe just to be clear.

We have always dealt with Tim at Riverside Marina for many years and have always been very happy with prices and the service that we have received. There is more than enough business in this yard for these two companies to coexist when it comes to boat repair Tim is top-notch

We stopped here for one night and decided to spend a month. Very glad we did. Perfect environment for relaxing and meeting new friends. If you're not in a hurry spend some time here. Next trip North we may spend two months of our summer at this marina. Loved it

This anchorage is right next to Rollezz Resort and it's wonderful. The resort is very welcoming to cruisers, wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner. They want you to come in and enjoy the resort. My wife said that when she envisioned going to the Bahamas this is what she thought that she would find. Off the charts great place!

Best deal in the Newport Hampton Roads area you will find. We stayed for a month. Food Lion grocery store not far away. But the best part is being able to hang out at Fort Monroe. Walking around and exploring this historic fort was a total blast. We will always stop here on our way North.

We were taking on water from a shaft seal and we had a Cutlass bearing that was making noise on the starboard side of our catamaran,,, so they pulled us out fixed everything put us back in the water in one day. Fantastic service, highly recommend this company.

The anchorage has plenty of depth. Shore access can be accomplished by contacting Utsch's Marina. They will let you park your dinghy by their fuel dock for a few hours. During the summer there is Jitney free shuttle service around town. You can download their app. The downtown mall area is awesome, very unique.

Great place, enjoyed our time there. The dinghy dock service is superb with two locations, one very close to the fish market. We were on the moorings. Very pleasant.

Very well protected anchorage from wind in any direction. Very nice neighborhood with beautiful homes. If you're looking for a quiet night this is the place. Also good water depths getting in and out pay attention to your charts.

Good price on fuel $3.05 a gallon for diesel. Fuel dock is easy to pull up to. Pump is slow so it's easy to control especially when filling and Jerry cans. Don't expect help when docking at this marina.

They are under new management I hope they can improve. The pool is nice but hard to get to for boaters. The store has some stuff it would only be luck if they had what you need. The bathrooms and shower are not good.

We went in on an outgoing tide with our Catamaran. Very shallow many areas 4 to 5 feet Red marker outside the inlet in 3' of water its a bit better if you come in from the north west angle its a bit better.

It's a concrete wharf, not a dock. The condition is excellent. The town is beyond cute. Well worth a stop. The only problem is that it's not very deep. At the dock or should I say wharf at low tide our starboard hull was on the ground. Still you could anchor out and dinghy in. The town is well worth a visit if you like touristy quaint places.
