It’s been over 60 years since Tidewater Marina started operations. We’ve grown from a modest thirty slips to become one of the major full service boating facilities on the Chesapeake Bay.
In addition to deep water slips we offer moorings, hoist spaces, trailer parking, and over 120 spaces for boats in our Hi & Dri. Our configuration with full land breakwaters creates well-protected basins that eliminate current and waves within the marina- making for much easier maneuvering and a calmer time while docked. We’re fully staffed year round. So there is always someone watching out for your boat.
Our complete approach makes it easier for you to enjoy boating. In addition to space rentals, you’ll find a discount marine store, service, repairs and fuel dock, as well as a waterfront event venue. Added onsite services from HP Marine Service, Caribbean Refinishing and Baysail Sailing School & Charters expand our offerings even more. Properly insured contractors are permitted to work within the marina.
The real difference at Tidewater, however, is in the staff. Most are long term employees with an interest in boats that goes back to their childhood. All are dedicated professionals and active boaters that work year round on their area of expertise to make Tidewater a top notch marina.
Our location at the head of the Chesapeake Bay is convenient from Baltimore, Philadelphia and central Pennsylvania. Access from I-95 and US40 makes your travel time from these locations about an hour. Travel by water from Havre de Grace puts most of the ports of the Chesapeake Bay within an easy day trip.
With over 158 slips, 120 Hi & Dri stalls, Hoist & Trailer spaces, and Moorings, you're sure to find an option that works for you. Onshore our bathrooms are well maintained and offer privacy that is hard to find in other marinas. Free high-speed wi-fi coverage is available throughout the marina.
Picnic areas at the ends of the docks include grills and tables so you can enjoy a meal at the water’s edge. The South Lawn, with its panoramic view of the Chesapeake Bay, hosts many larger functions throughout the year. Give us a call to schedule your event.
Just visiting for a day or two? We have transient slips available for you to visit the town. Our staff will greet you and assist with docking, and give you all the information you’ll need to enjoy your visit to Havre de Grace. All this at a rate that makes our transient stays one of the best values on the Chesapeake Bay. Call 410-939-0951 for a reservation or book online using.
Our Service Department stands ready to handle anything you need. We offer haulouts up to 35 tons, FRP repairs, prop and shaft repairs, rigging, installations and winter storage. Recent years have produced a jump in air conditioning and bow thruster installations. Additionally we have an engine shop and hull refinishing services on site.
When the boating season is winding down, it’s time to start thinking about protecting your valuable recreational asset. The time and effort you spend now will have a definite effect on your boat's performance, or lack of it, and certainly save you time, effort and money come spring. You should remember that your insurance policy may not cover damage done by lack of maintenance or neglect.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources' Clean Marina Initiative offers marina and boatyard operators, and recreational boaters the opportunity to participate in efforts to protect Maryland's natural resources. The Maryland Clean Marina Initiative recognizes marinas, boatyards and yacht clubs that meet legal requirements and voluntarily adopt pollution prevention practices. We take our impact on the environment very seriously. We provide extensive training to all of our employees in order to reduce our footprint on the Chesapeake Bay. We also offer numerous ways for our customers to help with our efforts. These include:
