We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cape Charles Town Docks. The staff was very eager to help us get settled in and dockmaster Paula was super friendly and full of information about the area. The town is very charming and even has nice beaches within walking distance. It's also a great place to ride a bike. I highly recommend this marina and the town!

Marina Response:

Good morning Robert! Thank you for leaving this wonderful review! It was great chatting with the two of you. Have an awesome summer and come back anytime! Take care, Paula

The town dock is now under new management and has made great improvements to their service. The Dockmaster pays good attention to request and reservations. Dock hands are readily available, friendly, and willing to assist in any way. Maintenance of the docks seems to be a higher priority under the new regime.

Marina Response:

Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy that you had a good experience with us. Come back to see us! I'll be in touch if something opens up in early August. Have a great 4th of July! Happy Summer! Take care, Paula

This was our second stay, and we’ll definitely be returning. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, and the location is ideal for exploring the town.

Highly recommend. Paula and crew help us when we arrived. Loved the Peanuts they gave us when we arrived . Cape Charles town is basically at the end of the dock. Cute town.

Marina Response:

Thank you, Andy! We loved having your club here last weekend! Please come back soon :) I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend! Happy Friday!! Take care, Paula

Great little town. Worth the stop. We should have rented bikes. We got our steps in walking.

Marina Response:

Good morning, Eric! Thank you for leaving us this great review! I'm glad that you enjoyed the town while getting your steps in :) Next time you come to town, we can line up bike rentals through our friends at Poseidon Watersports if you'd like. I hope you have a great day on the water and a wonderful season! Take care, Paula

Easy access to t hi as marina and helpful dock assistance. Good restaurant on sight. Lots of working boats but they did not present any problems. The bathrooms are a bit of a walk, doors are coded that's a plus, showers very small good hooks provided but no bench inside shower space, no shelf or spot for shampoo or wash cloth. Access to town and the beach was easy, lots of weekly rentals local merchants were very friendly. Brown dog ice cream is great as is MASON BAKERY

Marina Response:

Good morning, David! Thank you for this review and for spending the weekend with us. I hope you have a great season! Come back anytime :) Take care, Paula

Cape Charles Town Docks is a wonderful marina! Paula and the dock staff are fantastic, helping us with fueling and docking in our slip. We wanted to stay an extra day to wait out some weather and Paula was very accommodating. The marina wifi worked great, and the bathrooms and showers were very clean. The town of Cape Charles is very quaint and an easy walk from the marina. We enjoyed visiting the shops, especially Coastal Baking Co and Brown Dog Ice Cream. We look forward to our next stay at Cape Charles Town Docks!

Marina Response:

Thank you, Laura! I appreciate you taking the time to leave us this great review and sharing your experience with other boaters. I hope you have a wonderful summer season! Enjoy the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Come back soon! Take care, Paula

Paula and her team are a delightful group to interface with. She has taken customer service to the next level. It clearly shows by her attention to detail and friendly staff. Thanks for the wonderful experience and will be back! Bruce

Excellent all around. Docks were high quality. Dock hands accessible and friendly. WiFi and electric service was great and dependable. Their information sheet was comprehensive. Paula in the office was very friendly, even to my dog Major. The setting was charming and relaxing. I highly recommend it. I will be coming back.

Marina Response:

Good morning, Bob! Thank you for this wonderful review :) I hope you had a great trip home yesterday! Come back to see us anytime. Have a great season! Take care, Paula

by Bernadette D. - Verified user on May 11, 2026

Everything was just perfect. Paula and her team were super responsive on the Dockwa and even had an arrival plan worked out in the event of a delay. The dockhands were great and very respectful. I’ve stayed in a place where the staff walks the docks in the morning offering to collect trash. Great, clean facility

Marina Response:

Good morning, Bernadette! Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review! We're "Blessed"! I hope you have an amazing season. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Happy Monday! Take care, Paula

by Beth S. - Verified user on May 03, 2026

Wonderful people and easy to deal with, especially when we are out of town.

Marina Response:

Happy Sunday Beth! Thank you for the 5-star review! I'm looking forward to seeing you and your family in a couple of weeks! Hurry Summer :) See you soon! Take care, Paula

by Brian D. on May 03, 2026

The last time I visited Cape Charles Town Dock three years ago, it was not impressive. Dirty and not well cared for. On my recent visit, there was a 180 degree difference. Clean, well maintained, organized, and very nice staff. Paula does a fantastic job running a great marina. I look forward to returning.

Marina Response:

Good morning, Brian! Thank you for this amazing review :) Bring "Oyster" back anytime, no need to wait 3 more years. Haha. I hope you have a great Sunday and an awesome season! Take care, Paula

by Matthew T. - Verified user on May 01, 2026

Very nice. Friendly staff.

Marina Response:

Good morning, Matthew! Thank you for the 5-star review :) I hope you and Kay had a great trip across the bay on Thursday. Come back soon! Have a great Sunday! Take care, Paula

by Diane G. - Verified user on Apr 29, 2026

Very nice! Dock hand was very efficient and greeted us with an information sheet, a can of delicious peanuts, and a Cousy!

Marina Response:

Good morning, Diane! Thank you for this awesome review! I hope you have a great day on the water and an amazing season! Take care, Paula

by Torsten A. - Verified user on Apr 29, 2026

Nice place on the bay. Nice floating docks. Great food at the restaurant. Short walk into town (main street). Friendly and helpful staff. One of our favorite stops.

Marina Response:

Good morning, Torsten! Thank you for coming to see us again, and for the 5-star review :) I hope your day on the water is awesome! Look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a wonderful season! Take care, Paula

by David J. - Verified user on Apr 22, 2026

Good overall but even with the town breakwater, some wave action makes it in when the wind really blows. Makes it a little bouncy at times. Lovely town though. Would definitely come back.

Marina Response:

Good morning, David! Thank you for taking the time to leave us this great review. I'm so happy that you loved the town and totally understand about the "bounciness". When you come back to visit, we'll try to get you up inside the marina a bit more which could help with the wave action. If you make your next reservation through Dockwa, leave a note in the comment section and we will do our best to accommodate. Have a wonderful Spring season! Take care, Paula

by Sotiris K. - Verified user on Apr 21, 2026

Service was excellent and the bathrooms were clean. I wish someone would enforce the No Wake requirement. Work-boats were easily doing 10 knots going past the marina docks.

Marina Response:

Good morning, Sotiris! Thank you for the kind words, the 5-star review, and the suggestion. Although I can't enforce the "speed limit" I will certainly talk to our fleet about slowing down as they are headed in and out. I hope you have a great season! I look forward to seeing you again soon. Take care, Paula
