I frequent this marina because there is so much to do there. I noticed that there was a lot of trash and debris collecting around the boats, it would make it much more pleasant if an effort were made periodically to get that cleaned up.

I got married at the Westin in the National Harbor on Labor Day weekend. We took the boat in and got to drive the family around on both Friday / Saturday. Marina office was nice and clean, the slip was massive, and Kenny and Harrison were awesome to work with! Will be back to rent a slip in the future

I was assigned a slip the evening before when I arrived I was put in a different slip that belongs to a annual slip holder that showed up expecting to dock, we had a small exchange in words but work it out by double parking in the slip and slip 70 which I was assigned to went empty all day and night.

A Note from the Marina:

We'd like to thank this boater for staying with National Harbor Marina and for taking time to provide feedback. The originally assigned slip was a 50' slip and the vessel was double tied with another 20' vessel, allowing us to maximize available space over the holiday weekend. The annual slipholder in slip 70 dod not return that night as expected, which is why that slip went empty. We hope to welcome this boater back for another visit in the future so we can provide a remarkable experience that all boaters deserve.

Kenneth at National Harbor went out of his way to help make our stay easy and memorable. He answered all my question with kindness and I asked a lot. He walked around asking if boaters needed ice, which we did. He went out of his way to help gas us up and allow us time to use the boat house before heading out again. Very professional and helpful!!!! Thanks for all you did!

Ronald on July 5th, 2022:

I absolutely loved staying here. At arrival, I was greeted at my dock and they helped me bring my vessel in and tie up to the dock. The professionalism made this experience amazing. The bath house was extremely nice! It felt like I was at home. Last but not least I felt secure. The gates definitely let you know they’re closed. But at night, after a certain hour, security was everywhere and the crowded area that was National Harbor turned into a ghost town. This marina has definitely earned more of my business in the future!

Matthew on July 5th, 2022:

Friendly and helpful team @ National Harbor Marina. Special thanks to Kenny for the hospitality and assistance. Highly recommend visiting and staying at this location.

Wendy on June 27th, 2022:

Thanks to National Harbor for a great stay. Thanks especially to Harrison for all his extra effort to help us. One thing to be aware of is that the end of the channel is shallow (7' when I arrived). Also, there is a boat club here and they include all the usual beginner boater hazards.

Michael on May 29th, 2022:

What a great place! We were greeted by two people who even had a welcome goodie bag for us with lots of local info as well as a few fun items. A little pricey at $3.00 a foot but beyond worth it, as laundry is free an the staff is very attentive and stopped by every morning to check with us and see if there was anything they could do. The harbor is a few steps from the local waterfront area with a lot of wonderful restaurant choices (I recommend pizza at Fiorellas and an excellent smoked Old Fashion). There is plenty of room in the fairways to make docking easy and the slips are nice and wide, even for our 16 foot beam. There is even a tour boat (City Experiences) that will take you to Mount Vernon. I would have to say, the best marina we have stayed at so far on the Loop adventure.

Donald on June 28th, 2021:

I'm not going to lie, when I first booked the slip I felt $130 for one night was a little steep however now that I stayed there I see why. Absolutely fantastic spot and Kenny, one of the employees is top notch. He spent a lot of time with us pointing out the attractions and future events... He also stopped by and checked on us a couple times making sure we didn't need anything.. The bottom line is if you are looking for a top notch marina to spend a couple nights this is your spot... You won't find a better place!

The “secure gated marina” doesn’t exist. The large metal door entrance was nothing more than a shut door with what appeared to have the lock punched out of the handle. We came back to our slip with the door wide open. Even after shutting you just simply turn the handle and it’s open. This is somewhat of a big deal considering the hundreds of people walking up and down that dock every night. The dock was not in good shape, with large sections of rub rail missing and some electrical equipment just laying on the end still attached, bolts up.Next out of all the calls on the phone (6) just 2 were answered. Want to just call them on the radio? Nope did that twice with no response as well.At a $150+ a night marina we just assumed we wouldn’t see these kind of issues.

A Note from the Marina:

We were sorry to read that these boaters were unhappy with their experience on site. We take security very seriously at the marina, and have already fixed the broken gate mentioned in this review. Additionally, repairs have been made for the rub rail and other equipment. We certainly apologize that we fell short of expectations on this stay, and hope to welcome this boater back on a future visit. We appreciate the review and the opportunity to improve our service.

Jeffrey on June 1st, 2021:

The staff at National Harbor we good. No complaints. The layout of the marina is not good. The restrooms, showers and marina office are not near the docks. They are on the other side of a row of restaurants. If you have a dog be prepared to walk a long long way before you see grass. We stayed 4 days to be with family in the area. On Memorial Day Evening at 6 pm 3 chartered party boats (Sea Ray 420s) with 8 to 10 partiers came down from DC. They blasted rap /club music until 10 pm then departed back to DC. I do not think that the Marina should knowingly rent slips to party boats.

Snag-A-Slip reached out to the marina manager for further comment but did not hear back regarding this review.

Captain on June 1st, 2021:

Disappointed in the facilities for the price paid. National Harbor Marina had great docks and an excellent dockmaster and dockhands. The distance to the showers and marina office are far away from the docks. The marina is not dog friendly as you have to walk several blocks once you get off the docks to find grass. It is located in the heart of the tourism section, but overpriced in my opinion for that convenience.

Great location and a great marina. Arrival was easy and the dockmaster was helpful. I came in after they had departed for the day (pro tip: contact the marina during their operating hours). But, we were meeting some friends who had arrived earlier in the day that talked to the dock master and had already arranged for a slip next to theirs. Docking was easy and the electric and water hook ups worked well. The National Harbor area is great and looks awesome at night with the Ferris wheel lit up. There are lots of food options. If you want to eat at a restaurant, make sure to get your reservations in advance. The Maryland COVID restrictions are still pretty tight and they hit capacity quickly. There are a number of more casual options that don’t require restaurants and Uber Eats can deliver to the pier. We did not make use of the lounge or restroom facilities while we were there. The bathrooms did not look to be very close, but I also did not try to find them.

The staff were great. It would be even better if you provided a winter rate. Would have stayed another night. Also can’t believe you charged for a pump out after a stay. Would have rather Ivan the attendant 10 for help than pay 5 for a pump out.

Could benefit from a seawall - slips exposed to wakes from passing vessels. Staff does not monitor the radio. Marina office off site so staff can’t see boats coming and going. Bath house very nice and roomy but off site. Lots of debris, including large logs, trapped in outer slips. Staff should spray bird poop off outer slips every once in awhile. Staff at fuel pumps and pump out friendly and helpful. Floating piers in very good shape. Lots of good restaurants and shopping adjacent to marina. Numerous police officers and associated cars, with their lights on continuously, hanging around one central spot. Nice walking/biking trails in area.
