Tough to assess as the facility was overwhelmed by an outside group. So no comment on pool/showers/ restaurant. Floating docks were nice but need some TLC. Perfect location for us due to proximity to friends. Will check it out again on a calmer weekend.

A Note from the Marina:

We wanted to thank you for your reservation at Coles Point Marina over the Labor Day Weekend and for the review of your stay at the property. As you mentioned there was a very large group also here last weekend that joins us annually, and we would like to apologize to yourself and any members of your party for not receiving notice of the event at the time of your booking. We do hope you join us again on a quieter weekend in the future, so we can provide the remarkable experience that all boaters deserve.

Marina infrastructure continues to decline. About 1/3 of slips are occupied and major sections of docks appear to be abandoned. Diesel fuel was very expensive at $5.25/gal when $3.70 to $3.90 was the nominal price on the Bay. This place use to be a premier marina on the River and could be once again with attention, $$ and effort. I am rooting for a comeback.

WiFi is excellent which is a must as cell service is not great. Well done! The bathrooms were super clean. Trash bins are readily available and conveniently placed. They have removed the derelict boats from slips and onshore. They are making small but tangible improvements to the Marina. Keep up the good work.

Excellent staff and marina. Had a great stay. Bigger boats just need to pay attention to the tides to come in and out of their channel. A little shallow.

ANDY on August 21st, 2022:

It’s a great marina, and the guy at the dock was very helpful since I was single-handing it, and the wind was strong. The restaurant is good and it is a beautiful location.

A disappointing visit. No one answered our hails or our phone calls. No dock hands to help us tie up. Restaurant closed.

A Note from the Marina:

We'd like to thank this boater for staying at Coles Point Marina and for taking time to provide feedback. We apologize about their experience on site. We did discover the boater did not hail on the correct VHF channel. While the restaurant on site is closed Monday - Wednesday, our team did offer to drive this boater in order to assist them in getting provisions. We will ensure that the pre-arrival email sent to all boaters ahead of arrival have the restaurant hours clearly posted for future boaters. We hope to welcome this boater back to our marina in the future for a better experience.

Snag-A-Slip gave me open slip in a weekend of 100 degree weather when covered slips were empty all weekend that I would have fit in. You don't know marina or don't care about assigning slips to conditions.

A Note from the Marina:

We'd like to thank this boater for staying with our marina and for providing this valuable feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience for the open slip on such a hot weekend. Snag-A-Slip doesn’t control the slip assignments at Coles Point Marina. With over 50 boats that docked for a special event during this weekend, we enlisted the help of the PRYCA President to assign slips based on friend groups, special needs, and power requirements. Since we are limited on covered 50 AMP Slips at the marina, it is hard to get everyone under cover. We always encourage boaters to visit our staff in the office to address concerns so that we can address these issues as they arise on site. We apologize again that this experience at the property was unsatisfactory, and hope to welcome this boater back for an improved experience in the future.

The deck hands were helpful but the docks aren't in the best condition with quite a few areas needing to be repaired. We also lost water pressure intermittently.

A Note from the Marina:

We'd like to thank this customer for providing valuable feedback from their recent stay at Coles Point and will pass your complements to our staff. The marina is currently undergoing an extensive repair and maintenance project, and we hope to have all the repairs to the property completed before the season is over. The docks are on the list to be addressed. We look forward to welcoming you back to the marina in the future for an improved experience.

Really nice marina and nice restaurant, but the best part were the staff. The lady who is the dockmaster was very friendly and helpful and the guys on the dock were awesome. Really nice place to stay!!

Henry on June 24th, 2022:

Got late reservation but no information about WiFi or bathroom codes. Left early without ever seeing an on-site employee. Would’ve filled up fuel tanks if we had. Perhaps Snag-A-Slip could alter their reservation platform to include bathroom codes and WiFi access password.

People working at the Marina were super friendly and bent over backwards to help our group. Our group of boats was leaving at 9AM on a Monday and Crystal came in 1 hour early to open up the gas pumps for us. My reason for the neutral grade was because the mens bath house needed some work. The one shower door had rotted wood at the bottom and had previously been "fixed" This was a piece of sheet metal which was screwed to the bottom. The door bottom dragged and the door would get stuck if you closed it. Also, the ladies room side had exterior light fixtures, but both bulbs were burnt out. My understanding is that the new marina owners are going to invest some money into the facility? Hopefully some of this $$ finds its way to the bathhouse.

Great location, very friendly staff, pool was clean and refreshing, great beach area

Chris on June 21st, 2022:

It is a nice marina and we had a good time. We plan to return. The marina, like most things in life, could use some improvement. Some of the docks need updating. There was an overflow in the mens room that was not cleaned-up the entire weekend. Our slip was supposed to be a 50 amp, but was not. The marina was good about addressing this issue.

There is a lot to like about Coles Point Marina. The covered slips, fuel dock, water depth, pool, on-site Tim's Coles Point Restaurant. However, there is room for improvement. The maintenance and cleanliness of the bathrooms and shower or lack there of. The female shower rooms are in serious need of repair. On one, the door is busted and can't opened, the other the latch does not secure the door. As a female, I would not feel comfortable with this. Both the male and female restrooms are in serious need of cleaning, not cleaned once during our stay. People using the shower stalls to urinate in is also a problem. Perhaps, people who do not know the code for the bathrooms are using the unlocked shower stalls to pee in? Either way, unacceptable.

Michael on May 26th, 2022:

Bathrooms, Showers and other aspects of the facility were not ready for guests. Water pressure on the ladies side was weak. Restaurant, pool, and bar area was closed one week prior to Memorial Day. Pool was closed. This is not what we expected based on website photos of the "resort". Floating dock was fine but is falling into initial stages of disrepair. Wifi was weak and mostly unusable. The two men that helped tie the boats in were very helpful. The few staff that were seen were courteous and helpful.

No one answered the radio call as we were approaching the marina. After tying up at what we thought might be the correct dock (we were with another boat) we went into the office only to find out we needed to move our boats to another area. There was no welcoming brief and we never found out if there were bathroom or shower facilities available. The marina seemed abandoned with the store and restaurant both closed. The pool was okay at least. Don’t recommend going here in the middle of the week. (We went on a Wednesday in August.)

Wouldn't answer 16 on radio, so we had to call on phone. When we went to check in, the lady acted like she didn't know we had a reservation and for how long. Very unprofessional behind the desk. When asked about pump out when we leave,we were told the guy doesn't come till 11.But we could do it ourselves. They also charge $20..even though website says $10. No marina on the Potomac charges more than $5 for this service and many offer it free with slip. Pumpout didn't work do we had to wait till 9 to get refund. The bathrooms were fine but the 2 showers each were not. No shelf to put incidentals. One of the woman's doors would even close. Very low water pressure. The restaurant had good food and great service. The marina needs updating, and personnel retrained.

The marina was nice, and the floating docks were in good shape. The restaurant right there was convenient and the food was good. The beach was 100 yds away and nice and clean - my kids were bummed we didn't have time to go for a swim. The only complaint was the fuel dock hours weren't great for us - we got in after it closed at 5p, and then it didn't open until 9a the next day, which was after we planned to depart, so we stopped down river to fuel up.

Neal on July 5th, 2020:

The marina staff were excellent. The woman at the front desk helped me reach out to their boat mechanic to try to fix an issue we had. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the marina is showing some age and needs a bit of TLC. As for Tim’s...We felt it was overpriced (~$18 for an order of crab balls and french fries) and due to staff shortages they closed early (8:00 PM).

Coles Point Marina is in a great location for us, very protected from waves. We were in a covered slip with water and power. Tim’s restaurant was fantastic. The only reason to keep it from a five star is the bath house could use some renovations and more frequent cleanings. Overall, we were pleased and do plan to go back.

Anonymous on May 26th, 2020:

Coles Point Marina is an overall average Marina. The slips and roofs are in somewhat poor repair and the Marina has a "fell on hardtimes" vibe. Nats and Flys were a constant annoyance, so bring bugs spray. The view and expansive open sand beach is what makes this place a great location. Coles Point is also part of an RV Park which has a ton of golf cart traffic, so ask to be in the covered slips if you would like to be away from the action/noise. Gas was higher than others in the areas. The onsite restaurant "Tim's at Coles Point" is okay in food quality and service. The Coles Point Marina employees were kind and pleasant. To sum it up, Coles Point is average but could use a little more attention to maintenance.

Debbie on August 8th, 2018:

Had reservations for this past Saturday night, no one responded on VHF radio or answered the phone. When I finally tracked someone down we were told to park in a slip right in front of the restaurant which meant we were forced to listen to loud music and watch flashing lights until midnight. We had requested a covered slip. There was no dockhand to help with docking. By the time we docked ourselves and hooked up power, I went to the office and it was closed! No one even came to check with us and provide us with the wifi password or marina information before closing. Closing a marina at 5:00 P.M. on a Saturday night in the summertime is crazy. We saw so many people coming in to gas up only to find the place is closed. From what we could see and experienced at this marina I would keep on cruising by and not stop. The marina is run down and does not look like anything like you see in the pictures on this page.
