Hartge Yacht Harbor is a splendid marina to keep your boat. However, do not call on this marina's…read moreservices the problem is not that they are good at anything but are bad at everything from my experience - They do not understand Webasto heaters and say that units are unusually design - They do not understand how to install Max props and in particular are confused with pitch value and the difference between left and right handed props. - They do not know how to change a hose on a manual bilge pump. - They do not know how to properly install sanitary hoses in a reasonable time. - They do not know how to install seacocks - They very seldom call back or answer emails - They make appointments and forget clients are coming. - They invoice for replacement parts they themselves have lost and invoice time taken to replace said parts. - All of this is experienced with last service manager - New service manager does not get confused with facts and bases his invoice without paying any attention to actual work completed successfully.

Pretty setting. Historic boat yard. Lovely views. Hartge is a wonderful place to park your boat, as…read morelong as you don't try to get anything done there. Hartge appears to offer marine services. Unfortunately they do not employ anyone competent at providing marine services. Six months after getting about $6,000 worth of work done to my boat I'm looking at spending at least that to repair the stuff they allegedly fixed. It astounds me that these people are still in business. By all means park your boat at Hartge Yacht Harbour but if you need any work done to your boat look elsewhere. This should be pretty easy advice to follow as they never return phone calls, respond to emails and you will never get a written quote out of them.

I live in Annapolis and we kayak in the creek near our home. I wanted to take a stand up…read morepaddleboard lesson. I had seen information on this place, so I signed up for their SUP 101 class at 11:30 on a Saturday morning. It was a nice ride, not far. The little marina is on Rockhold Creek in Deale. The paddleboard setup is ideal. They give you about a half an hour of instruction on the dock and then the rest is practice in the water. The only issue for me today was that it was 94 degrees by noon and I started to feel the effects of the heat. The instructor, Andrea, who is very nice and gives great demonstrations and instructions, said I can come back another Saturday to complete my practice. There was another family group of three there today also. I really like the quiet cove setup in this location, and the equipment is all very nice. I'll be back for sure. Update: I returned at 8 am this morning and did about 45 minutes of on the water practice with Andrea, just by myself, so it was ike a private lesson. She is a great coach.

I wish I could give 3.5 stars on Yelp! This was a good, but not absolutely amazing spot…read more Overall, I liked Chesapeake Paddle Sports and it is a good spot for a quick kayak. We were coming up from the Upper Marlboro area and luckily were able to get a spot last minute for later in the afternoon. After I booked online, someone messaged me saying nobody would be at the tent when I was going to arrive and they left two kayaks for me and my SO at the dock. I am glad I have experience with kayaks and knew how to move / launch them (without falling in!). The dock has a great launch spot into it. Unfortunately, the seats were a little worn and there were no life jackets available to us. The kayaking area is in a marina so there are boats coming around - if you're not used to some waves in the water, this is not the spot for you. Overall, would not recommend for absolute beginner kayakers but we had a nice time on a last minute kayak adventure.

Well kept full-service marina with all the amenities! We…read morestayed here overnight twice over the summer, using Dockwa for our reservations. These are fixed, not floating piers, but tides are minimal. The pier head where we stayed (dock E) and the adjacent fuel pier head can be exposed to wind and some waves if coming from the southeast, but the waves are knocked down a bit by flats. The docks are in good repair, and the grounds are immaculate. We took advantage of the free-access propane grills up on shore for a nice picnic. There's a West Marine just a short walk away. The marina has a pool, poolside bar, ice makers, laundry, and more. Their pump-out is also free. Docking here was slightly pricy, but well worth it at a location central to the Chesapeake between two 8-hour sails, and not at all out of line for the area and quality of facilities.

Herrington Harbour North Marina is a site to behold. This entire location is kept pristine. The…read moregrounds are well kept and the main building is immaculate. The restrooms are not only clean and well stocked, but they also have showers. Every inch of the docks are impeccable and every vessel, you could see, are well maintained. The reason for this visit was to assist with returning a family member's 47 foot sailboat back up to the Jersey shore. I cannot commend Herrington Harbour North enough on their professionalism and attention to detail with every aspect of this location. The customers of this harbour are privileged, well supported, and I'm certain....appreciative.
