    From the very first contact, to our departure, Steve, Dockmaster, was very accommodating! Never minded all of my questions, no matter how busy he was! Marina was lovely. Views were magnificent! Considering how the Hudson can rock you, we were very well protected. Rented a car , short walk away, and saw many of the attractions in the area. Definitely go to Croton Dam! On top and in front! Amazing! West Point too! Thank you Steve for great memories!!!

    What a lovely , warm and welcoming marina! Definitely one of our top stays as we do the loop!! Susan and Joe and the staff have been so helpful! The amenities are clean and spotless. The pool is huge and sparkling clean. The cafe is delicious, Maryland crab soup and cheesesteak!!! The Marina Store is very well equipped for all engine essentials, not to mention the gift side of the store! Such a hidden gem! Wi-Fi is good. We stayed on a T head and in spite of strong winds at night, we didn't lose any sleep. There is a drawbridge next door, but that quieted down after dark. Do not pass this marina by! The Sassafras River is lovely. Worth visiting!!!!

    Second Paua Hana's review! Absolutely lovely! We have a Mainship 390 draft around 4 ft. We were concerned about going all the way back there but no issues. Deeper than the charts say. Around 5 ft at low tide. Worth going in! Dinghy to the dock and easy for pup. Nice park! Spent our second day in St Michael's. So peaceful!!!

    Great marina! Pretty and clean. Free continental breakfast that we took advantage every morning. Restaurant across the bridge was good. Building an upper deck. When finished I'm sure great views! Allen, the Dockmaster was the best! Friendly, helpful! You will hear the watermen leave at 4:30 in the morning for about 30 minutes. Then go back to sleep. But peaceful all day long. Good phone connectivity. No Uber but on the pin board in the office is a husband and wife team of drivers that for $70 round trip we were driven into St Michael's. Lovely town. Spend the day! Fuel was very reasonable. Did a pump out also. Laundry facilities clean. Would go back again!! Coming in to the marina can be tricky. Coming in from the Chesapeake , Go between the red markers!! Keep green 5 on your port and make a wide sweep around it. Going back out to the Chesapeake, do in reverse. Green 5 on starboard with a wide sweep around it and go between the reds. Do not hug the red triangle!!!!

    Absolutely heaven! Perfect place to stay in Annapolis! Mooring ball was easy to grab, nice metal eyelet at the end. Beautiful homes all around us. Dinghy docks everywhere! Not a problem getting pup to shore. You can go online and find all the dinghy docks. https://www.annapolis.gov/176/Dinghy-Docks
    It was graduation week and we were able to see the blue angels from our boat. So cool! $35 a night plus tax. Pump out comes to your boat $5. Water taco is a call away. We were at the second mooring ball field past the spa creek Bridge. 5 other loopers with us! Just perfect!!!

    What a little hidden gem! Lovely , calm, peaceful marina! Perfect after our stay in Annapolis with all the hustle bustle. Staff here very helpful. Rick, the Dockmaster, helped us with our electrical issue ( used extension cords to get power. New power boxes didn't like our old trawler). Libby helped with getting us Mattie and Tina, who drove us into Chestertown for the festival. ( we paid them $30 each way). Got all our laundry needs taken care of. There is diesel and pump out but we did not need. Fully stocked marine store with real marine parts and supplies, not just potato chips! Watched beautiful sunsets sitting by the marina office on their patio furniture. Fish jumping. Herons flying by.
    Spent 3 nights here before continuing on our Loop. Would do again!!!
    (Phone connectivity very weak)

    I could not say more positive things about this charming marina! First of all , the staff!! JE Darnell is an Angel in every sense of the word! Checked on us all the time. Moved us to more protected slips , helped us remove and reinstall new bedding , quickly answered all texts and questions! Food is yummy at both restaurants and a golf cart to tool around on! We could consider moving here!!!
