Chesapeake Bay mooring/slip for 2 months?
|
Scott SV Tengah
Hi all,
We're in The Bahamas now heading to the Chesapeake area for a bit and plan to leave Tengah, our A54 for 2 months to visit family and travel overland. I know many of you are either from there or have spent far more time there than me (me = zero). Does anyone have suggestions for a place to leave her for July and August? I would prefer something cheap, obviously. Anywhere in the Chesapeake is fine as we are visiting my family in DC and am not opposed to traveling a bit overland to get there. Most of the places I've emailed either are too shallow (eg - "Do you mind bumping on the mud at low tide?") or can't handle boats of this size. A mooring or a slip is fine. I won't be living aboard except maybe a few days on the frontend to prepare to leave her and on the backend to fix the things that broke while we are gone. :) -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah www.svtengah.com

Scott,
There is a state owned marina in Maryland that is perfect choice. It is inexpensive and very well protected on all sides. If I recall the rate was about $800 per month with electric and water included. But it is also off the beaten path. We stayed here for about 3 months and used it as a base to explore the surrounding areas. To rent a car, you need to take a bus to Princess Anne where Enterprise from Salisbury will meet you and take you up to Salisbury (not hard to do). There is a USCG station there and they have new floating docks. Here is a link: https://somerscovemarina.com/index.html
With best regards,
Mark

Just remembered we also stayed at Hampton Bay – well protected and has good transient short term rates. Concrete floating docks. Rental car is on site: http://www.hamptonlandingmarina.com/
Another option is Fishing Bay Marina. We stayed there for about a month. Not as well protected as Crisfield but also nice. Old wood docks. https://fishingbay.com/

Mark,
Thanks, for the Fishing Bay and Somers Cove info. It seems the link you sent for Hampton Landing is in NY? -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah www.svtengah.com

Sorry,
Not the Hampton Landing marina, this one: https://www.downtownhampton.com/boating/public-piers This is a city own marina and is located downtown close to everything.
Are you familiar with ActiveCaptain.com – it is a good source for finding marina and being able to look at nautical charts for the approach etc. The site usually has rate info. In addition to reviews.
With best regards,
Mark

the Hi Scott, We are currently at Hartge's Yacht Harbor in Galesville, MD. and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I believe I could score you a $750/mo rate for a slip (+ a bit for electricity, but water and wifi is free). It's about 15 miles south of Annapolis proper and about half to one-third the cost of a closer spot. About 50 minutes' drive to the DC area (well.. add two hours for rush traffic) or to a Metro. Annapolis has pretty much everything you could think of as far as boating support and some pretty good eateries. The only downside to Hartge's is the need for a car to get around. I recommend it regularly as we have had very good support here and the staff is fairly amazing.

We keep our boat at Herrington Harbor North (https://www.herringtonharbour.com/north/) They also operate another marina just 1 mile south (https://www.herringtonharbour.com/south/) They are about 20 miles south of Annapolis. Neither is cheap but both are very nice and very well run. North has a West Marine onsite and a great hardware store a mile away.
