The Schooner Sultana is a permanent resident here! The new marina facilities include: beautiful Ipe floating piers, brand new conditioned bathrooms, shower facilities, laundry, and a lovely marina office with a comfy lounge area and water view deck.

Samantha and Chris are great to work with! Our boat (DOGONIT) is resident here & we love seeing all the new visitors that are coming in under sail and power from Annapolis and beyond. The new Marina does not have a mechanic on staff, but should you find yourself in need, you can call good local mechanics who will help you on site.

My husband and I are avid boaters and always looking for new places to spend the weekend within…read morereasonable proximity to Annapolis. This was our first stay at Mears Great Oak Marina and I give it a solid 3 stars. The property has every amenity you can think of and is great for families, pets, bar scene and people watching. The reason I deduct 2 stars is that the place is a little run down... which for $2.75 a foot along with the claim that it is a "premier resort" I expect more. For example, when approaching the docks, they are not well marked, and the high school dock hand is more interested in standing there looking cool and taking a selfie than directing you to your proper fairway and slip. The slips are poorly marked as well, and the docks have seen better days, although not the worst that I have seen. The marina "culture" is interesting as well, with lots of people hanging out at their very personalized slips (think grills, gazebos, and other paraphernalia). Along with lots of house boats and run down sailboats with liveaboards. Moving on to the restaurant, which channels "Kellermans" in Dirty Dancing, the prices and selection are very good. The place has been renovated, but still smells musty like the 1960s. There is also an old conference center attached to the restaurant that is awkward and needs renovating and I couldn't imagine actually using for any event. It's only redeeming value is the view. On the subject of renovations, I was cringing as I dialed the code on the bath house door thinking of "harvest gold" toilets from the 1960s, but pleasantly surprised. The owners must have spent all of their money on the bathhouses as they were beautiful with nicely updated large showers and vanities. Although I'm not sure if they are cleaned on a daily basis, but they were very nice. The pool and Jellyfish Joel's area were nice, fun, and entertaining, as well as the live music. I can't speak to the hotel but it looked old as well. All of the buildings on the property could have used a good power washing to remove the spiders and bug debris. In summary Fairlee Creek is a beautiful place to see and I am happy that we stayed for the weekend. However if Mears Great Oak Marina wants to be the "premier" resort that it claims to be, it needs to take a few tips from Herrington Harbor.
