Great overnight stop, easy to get into and protected. Brewery was right here and fun. Dockmaster & staff was great.

Christopher on October 31st, 2022:

Great stop with lots of shops and restuarants (2 adjacent and many 2 blocks away) as well as the air/space museum. As of summer 2022 you can use the hotel pool again. Staff is great. Slips closer to the marina office are better with less bridge noise and closer to the bathrooms which are clean/nice.

Edward on June 12th, 2022:

Excellent staff and great floating docks and good WiFi. Very friendly community and great restaurants within short walking distance. If you have a longer walk there are bikes to check out for use. Will definitely stop back next time we are passing through the area.

Kent on May 25th, 2022:

First rate operation. Dan and Brad are outstanding.

Captain on May 17th, 2022:

May 16 2022 wonderful stay again. Visiting our friends here. Thank you kindly Dock master Danny was a pleasure to work with and very helpful again. Really enjoyed going to Virgina NASA center this time. Also on Friday nights Grey Goose restaurant has two for one Prime Rib special. Good amount of restaurants nearby. Good washrooms and showers. Laundry available. Floating docks in very good condition. Some current so slack would be helpful for docking. Finger piers are 16' so backing in is the way to go. Free loaner bikes to go to Food Lion about a mile away or so.

This is our third stay at the Docks at Downtown Hampton and each visit has been better than the last. The facilities are clean and the staff friendly. Lots to see and do in the area.

Robert on March 28th, 2022:

Great location, fantastic dockmaster

Tom on February 22nd, 2022:

We had the docks to ourselves for a February getaway. Clean facilities, well-maintained docks and Danny (the dockmaster) was super helpful. A bonus was finding the River Street Park on a walk and reconnecting with the area's history.

Joe on November 15th, 2021:

Will stay here again, for sure. Good location

Mo on November 6th, 2021:

Perfect location, staff extremely helpful. Docks are a bit challenging due to short finger piers.

Gary on October 17th, 2021:

Danny was very helpful with every aspect of our stay, from docking, receiving packages and juggling boats in order for us to get a pumpout. Very clean facilities and great town. Will definately return.

It’s a great location and is walking distance to restaurants, enterprise car rental, live music.

Robert on September 13th, 2021:

Great place to stay. Can be a challenge getting in some times so try to dock in slack or near slack tide. Danny is great and helpful. Love the location. Walk to just about everything.

Charles on September 8th, 2021:

Great location. Expert and courteous dockmaster. Bull Iand brewery right at the sail, with craft beer and great food! Will be going back!

Helpful dock staff. Great slip. Good bar/restaurants in walking distance. We'll be back.

John on August 13th, 2021:

Everything was great except docks were very short, making it difficult to secure larger boats.

Michael on August 6th, 2021:

Nice marina to tie up at while on a fishing trip given it has a hotel on site. First night was great called to get slip number and we were met at our slip and by the dock master and he helped as we tied up. The downside is the second night when we returned to our assigned slip there was a sailboat in our spot and it really surprised me that at 530 on a Saturday afternoon no one was working to help us mediate the problem so we just picked another slip and hoped for the best. Also no checkout procedure in place, we left very early to get ahead of bad weather and I wasn’t contacted until I was 70 miles out luckily I had already paid through Snag A Slip.

I really liked the marina. The amenities on their current site though are not accurate. They don’t actually have a pool available any longer. They use to have access to the hotel pool next door but a hotel buyout ended that relationship. Our slip had gotten double booked and we had to move our boat for another boat that was coming in. The location is great and the access to the microbrewery at the end of the dock we really enjoyed.

A Note from the Marina:

Snag-A-Slip reached out to the marina to ask that they update the available amenities on their profile.

Facilities are adequate and well maintained. Danny is very helpful and friendly. Convenient to good restaurants. Not much shopping in immediate area and no grocery. Public transportation limited due to covid.

Lori on April 28th, 2021:

Nice Marina. Good location with proximity to town.

Rob on April 27th, 2021:

Nice floating dock with very short finger piers. Friendly helpful dock hands. Bull Island Brewery is right at the piers and is a great place to enjoy some beer. Enterprise rentals is right next to the marina. Lots of great places to walk a dog and a dog park is one block away.

Harry on October 22nd, 2020:

Danny the harbor master and Hannah, his assistant provided wonderful service to us during our two night visit (October 2020). Danny brought a full cart load of parts down to the slip that we had shipped to Hampton Public Piers and provided excellent assistance in helping us enter the assigned slip. We look forward to our next visit in 2021.

The floating docks are short which makes getting on and off the boat a bit difficult when bow in. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

Carol on June 28th, 2020:

Wonderful location, helpful staff, and nice facilities. Strongly recommend -

The attraction of this marina is the location close to downtown Hampton with many fine restaurants. The Virginia Air and Space Museum is not to be missed. It also has an iMax.

They have one washer and one dryer at $2 per load. The fingers are only 1/2 length and you will need help getting in since you’re coming in at right angles to the river current.

If you stay often, then consider the option to join their cruising club which lowers the price to 1$/ft with every fourth day free.

Sharon on August 14th, 2018:

Hampton public pier...Dock staff is excellent! Laundry facilities are decent and access to pool is nice. However pool needs some umbrellas and some renovation. Love the dog park but needs to have water available. Love the floating dock. Great boaters garden!! Great location!!!!

Danielle on May 11th, 2018:

We had a great experience mooring up here and visiting the Downtown Hampton area. A lot going on between the restaurants located right on the pier, the music, and all of the local art stores and the historic Queen St.

Mark on April 24th, 2018:

Nothing fancy but clean, accessible, and right in front of Bull Island Brewing Co. Great beer and good food. This is where our boating adventure started.

Mark on November 14th, 2017:

Reasonable rate, free bikes, historic attractions, nice selection of restaurants and Tom was an excellent Harbor Master.

Mike on October 6th, 2017:

Great marina with floating docks and helpful staff. A short walk to many nice bars and restaurants. Well marked fairway after you pass the bridge tunnel. Would definitely stay again.

Howard on October 6th, 2017:

If you want a luxury marina with a swimming pool, this is not the place for you. However, if you are a self-sufficient cruiser, and want a sturdy floating dock within walking distance of the entire downtown, you ought to stay here. The wi-fi is the best we have encountefred so far. There is an Enterprise car rental less than half a block away. The electricity is good. If you stop in Hampton, I recommend the Venture restaurant downtown. It has a diverse menu, the most expensive entree was $18 (sauteed scallops--delicious), and delicious creme broulee.

Another attraction not to miss is the Mariners Museum in Newport News. This means that you have to rent a car for the day, but the museum only charfges a $1 admission fee, so it's worth it. This museum specializes in the revolutionary war, and is the best maritime museum we have seen on this entire trip.

Another not-to-miss attraction is the museum at Hampton University, immediately across the river from the marina. You can walk to this museum, or take the free loaner bikes from the marina. This is free, exceptionally well done, and a pleasant place to visit.

We will definitely be coming back here.
