This is a great marina to stay at in StMikes . It's a no frills kinda place. End of Carpenter street so close to all the action, like shopping and drinking. Lol. Great view of the harbor. We have been staying here for years. Showers very clean. Plenty of water pressure to boat. WiFi pretty good. New owners are doing a great job! See ya soon.

Hi Laura, thank you for the review! We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us, and look forward to your next visit!

If you just need a dock and possibly a mechanic this is your marina. If you want working useable wifi, fuel, nice shower facilities this is not the place.

Hi Kim, I took over ownership of the marina in the fall of 2017. We have since renovated our facilities and docks, and have also increased our WiFi speed and range. We would be happy to welcome you back to our marina on your next visit to St. Michaels.

What a great find! No frills, but clean restrooms, least expensive dockage around and a wonderful new owner. Just a short walk to Carpenter St. Saloon (local bar), lots of restaurants and shopping. And, if you need a mechanic (like us) they have that covered too. Definitely going back!

Chesapeake Bay Sailing Log Canoes

 A historic tradition, these iconic boats have been racing the Bay for over a hundred years. Originally used as workboats for oystering, larger sails were added over time to increase speed, as the first watermen back to the dock was paid the highest price for his catch of the day. The first races were originally held in 1840, and were revived in 1920 with the establishment of the Miles River Yacht Club - known today at the Homes of the Log Canoes.
