Anchorage Review for Georgetown–North

Had a lovely night here but not a lot of space to maneuver due to many old boats anchored all over. We saw depths as low as 4.5 ft near the red marker at low tide. But if you are a power boat and can fit yourself in it is a very peaceful spot with easy dinghy access to a great town. No problem holding in deep silt. We really enjoyed it!

Anchorage Review for Whiteside Creek

Set on first attempt closer to the entrance of the channel. Huge tidal swing, starting a 12ft depth and saw up to 18 at high tide, so give some extra scope if coming in at low tide. Depths drop off straight away from shore, but still could be a little skinny if winds are high. We had a calm night and slept like babies. Nice little dinghy ride to the inlet and walk on the beach.

Anchored here just passed the first green marker after the bridge. Depths are consistent 5-6 feet. A little shallow but Just fine for a cruising power boat. Minimal currents or tide. Short ride to the dinghy dock. Small fishing boats passed by with minimal wake. Worked great for us.

Stayed here in late September 2024. Such a great location for access to town! Balls are well maintained. Not much space between boats but enough. With northeast winds we had some chop moving across the channel and generally very busy. But really a great deal and cheap way to experience an incredible boating town. We were blown away by the tour of the Naval Academy. Spent 3 days here and will return next year

Stayed here for 3 days last weekend. This is a working Marina and sales location for Fleming Yachts. Expect to see lots of beautiful boats for sale. It's a no frills marina but well kept with fuel and pump out on site. Very nice people. Good depths. Make sure you stay on port side of red marker next to neighboring Marina upon approach!

Loved this Marina. Great old fashioned family run Marina. Full service with ships store and fuel on site. Short walk across the parking lot to the Lobster House dockside restaurant which is a must. And Cape May is an incredible historic town that really took us by surprise! Must take the trolley tour and plan to spend a couple of days to check it all out.

Beautiful Marina with very safe approach. Docks are beautiful and lots of nice boats docked here. Small ships store, laundry and great restaurant on site. Full fuel dock with diesel price at $3.40 on sept 10 2024. Only downside is no beach access right now due to recent washout under the bridge.

We spent the summer here for 2020. Always clean and in good working condition. Staff is friendly and helpful. Fun to watch the ferry come in and out, and also right next to Shepler's Marina for repairs and great ships store. Basically right downtown so lots of restaurants in walking distance. Look for us on A dock in 2021. The Straits State Harbor Marina next door is newer with floating docks, but you’ll have farther to walk to the sites.
