FAQs

What are the tide and navigation considerations for entering the marina?

The marina sits just south of the Oyster River estuary. The channel is narrow and shallowest by the outermost post, and you will need a minimum tide of about seven feet for a boat with a 4.5-foot draft. The tide reference is Mitlenatch Island. Please avoid entering in high swells or strong southeast winds. See…
