I have been a slip owner here for nearly 15 years. There is good reason why Bowleys Marina has been awarded Baltimore Sun's "Best Marina 2021" This property is beautifully maintained, and because it is member owned, everyone has a stake in keeping it that way. There are amenities for all; pool, playground, clubhouse, gazebos, fire pit, ships store, laundry and newly refurbished bath house. The helpful yard staff provide safety and security for members and for their boats. The office staff is friendly and efficient. The management staff is second to none. All of this makes for a pleasant and congenial atmosphere for power and sail boaters.

This is a very well-maintained marina with excellent resort amenities, on-site service shop, convenient fuel dock, near immediate access to the Bay, and reasonable prices. It's a bit out of the way from businesses -- 1.5 miles to the nearest restaurant, 2.5 miles to the nearest convenience store, and three miles to public transit -- but roads are very flat and easily traversed on bicycle.

New upgrades make this marina fantastic! Resort-style facility, has everything to offer and enjoy yourself. Won't be long before it's well-known as one of the best Chesapeake destinations.

This is a great marina in one of the most remote locations on the Chesapeake Bay. They have a great staff and all the amenities but they are quite literally in the middle of nowhere with no courtesy car or local bus service.
