    The Wharf Marina

    UPDATE: The marina has been rebuilt as The Wharf Marina and is now managed by Oasis. I'll start…read morewith the positives - overall, the new concrete docks are solid and float well. That alone is a huge improvement that earns one additional star. The new marina office is nice, and the mail area is well-built. I agree with Tim B. about the not-so-positives. The dock layout was not well-thought out from a boating perspective. Liveaboard boaters who had been at Gangplank Marina for decades provided input on how the layout should be configured to ensure access to boats from land and for vehicles for delivery of large items necessary for boats and for repairs. This was ignored. We also suggested pilings to aid with docking throughout the marina. Pilings were only installed on Z dock and not installed on all other docks (we assume as a cost-cutting measure), meaning that docking in wind in double-loaded slips creates an added challenge. The facilities are new, which is fantastic, but they are not set up to serve boaters well. Laundry facilities are extremely expensive ($3.00+ per load). Bathroom facilities are not practical (shaving, washing your face, or brushing teeth with an automatic sensor faucet doesn't work well). Shower facilities drain poorly and shower heads seem cheap. Lights are too dim and do not work at all in changing room currently (has been reported numerous times over the past year). As an over 15-year liveaboard boater in the area, I wouldn't mind any of these things. However, the proposed price increases per foot for 2023 don't make sense. The 2023 slip rates and fees put the cost of living at the marina over twice as high all other marina in DC, including Navy Yard and much higher than Capital Yacht Club, the private member club also located at The Wharf. The level of service also doesn't justify the prices. I want Wharf Marina to be a world class marina. There is still much work to be done to get there. If the 2023 prices remain, I'll be looking at other marinas shortly.

    From the water it's an absolutely beautiful approach and the docks are brand new…read more Once on land though, it's an absolute nightmare to access your boat and/or ground transportation. The only parking lot is the underground lot for the Wharf which cost you $45 for a half day. There are no carts available and we couldn't seem to figure out where to pay for and get ice. For a "world-class marina" they do very little to help out actual boaters. Buy some carts. Get a launch boat for those tied to moorings. Figure out the parking situation.

    I was a long time customer of Prince William Marina. I bought my boat through them and kept it at…read morethe marina for over 15 years. Just recently sold it and am now 'between boats...' I have nothing but praise for the team at Prince William. They are professional and prompt with everything. The boatel experience is the best way to do your boating on the Potomac. The boat is high and dry when you are not using it, but is always in the water, fueled and ready to go when you want it. Boats stored in a boatel retain their resale value because they just do not age! They are not sun damaged, they do not get marine growth, they do not get vandalized... It is the best way to protect your investment. The marina has a great clientel and local yacht club. They have a heated pool for customers and it is open longer than your neighborhood pool - it is a great place to hang out and meet new friends when you can't or don't want to be out on the hook. The restaurant at Prince William is only okay - Honestly though, I have found that all the waterfront restaurants on the Potomac are lacking - between no real winter business and no real weekday business during the season, none of them can retain quality chiefs or wait staff. But you can get a decent burger and fries here - about all you would expect or need after a day on the water. The bar is lively with a full band schedule. It has a regular crowd that can be a bit sketch at times. Lots of nice Harley's in the parking lot next to the BMW's and SUV's if you are into the biker crowd. But it is generally a pleasant mix of people and I've never heard of any problems. Boating is not cheap - looking at some of the reviews, it seems that other reviewers may have had different expectations. PW Marine's service department does have high rates, but they are in the normal range for waterfront repair yards. The quality of their work is OUTSTANDING. You get what you pay for. I'll definitely be back when I'm ready for my next (bigger) boat... Thank you PW Marine for helping with all the great boating memories we have!
