Patrick goes out of his way to accommodate his visitors. He met us at the dock as we came in and helped tie us up. He has a nice captain's lounge and a super bathroom for his guests. He has Starlink internet service for the guests. The dock location is central to the Ewell settlement and easily walkable. It is worth visiting the Cultural Center if you get in before 4:00 pm.

We arrived and set our anchor with 8+ feet in a rising tide. No issues getting a good anchor hold. The boat swings with the current by the tidal changes. Using Starlink
as well as a T-Moblie 5G hotspot for our internet. My wife taught two classes last night without any internet interruption. Verizon service was limited to one to two bars. Beautiful quiet setting.

The staff and facilities were perfect for what we needed. A courtesy car allowed us to provision both food and supplies. The shower facilities were well-appointed. Laundry facilities provided what we needed at a reasonable rate. Greg and the staff were there to ensure our stays were safe and pleasant.

Marina Review for Duck Creek Marina & Boatyard

We had our 36-foot trawler, Key 2 Cay, hauled out at Duck Creek Marina in June 2023. We remained in the yard for five months. The Duck Creek staff was courteous, very knowledgeable, and provided excellent skilled service throughout our stay. Whether we needed their experienced labor or professional advice they were there for us through the process of doing extensive bottom repairs that included significant blister repairs, thru hull replacements, bottom preparation, priming, and painting. Additionally, we had rigging upgrades, prop work, gland packings, and other refit repairs completed during our stay. They were instrumental in getting our old trawler properly serviced and back in the water providing my wife and me the confidence that our boat is ready for distance cruising. I highly recommend Duck Creek Marina and Boatyard and their staff for your powerboat or sailboat boatyard needs.

Scott and his team always provide us with first-rate service when fueling our boats. We are so lucky to have a great fuel dock so conveniently located near our home dock.
