Good clean well maintained floating docks. Cool neighborhood to go out on the town from your boat. Richard did a great job of getting us all set up and checking on us to make sure we were all good all weekend.

Great location and nice marina. But I could not give a higher rating because of the excessive trash and debris in the marina. The Anacostia River still needs a lot of work to get cleaned up.

A Note from the Marina:

We would like to thank this boater for staying at The Yards Marina and for taking time to provide feedback. We work with RiverKeepers to collect the debris, but we do see an increase in debris after storms, we apologize that it negatively impacted your stay. We enjoyed hosting you at the marina and hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

The new manager was very helpful and the location is a convenient walk to the ballpark. The marina however is cluttered with litter collecting around the boats in the slips which is frankly disgusting.

The staff always take great care of us! The marina has the amenities and location we are looking for. The price for a month is excellent also.

We stayed at the Yards for over a month as we had a wedding to attend to. The time we were at the marina were excellent. The marina is easy access from the Potomac (slack tide recommended, but not required) great area with restaurants, sports (Nationals, United (MLS)) and easy walking/Uber to the Capitol and National Mall! Also easy in and out to Ronald Reagan! Marina itself was secure, the manager was extremely helpful and available. We recommend this marine for short and long term!!

The dockmaster, Richard, is very helpful. This marina is in the middle of a vibrant part of DC, with a grocery store two blocks away. The dockhands, expecially Miles, made our stay very pleasant. Thanks to all of them for a great time in DC!

Hard to get hold of someone to get slip assignment. Also, Marina was quite messy with unsightly debris and no bathrooms or shower (or amenities of any kind for that matter) you'd expect in a Downtown DC site.

A Note from the Marina:

We would like to thank this boater for staying at The Yards Marina and for taking time to provide feedback. We have a process for contacting visiting boaters prior to arrival to communicate the amenities and the slip assignment, and apologize that we missed this step for this reservation. We do have full-service restrooms and showers in the building on the promenade. We work with RiverKeepers to collect the debris, but the amount of damage from the storm was excessive, and we apologize that it negatively impacted your stay. We enjoyed hosting this boater at the marina and hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

The attendant was very helpful. He assisted us with guiding us to the slip with his radio then assisted us with tying the lines and then hooking up the power cable. Excellent service. The marina was excellent, our slip was excellent. Unfortunately the water was full of debris everywhere. Plastic bottles and wood branches and logs and wood pieces. It was bad. Perhaps the team could scope up some of the debris. It looked terrible.

A Note from the Marina:

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about our staff. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, many local rivers and tributaries are experiencing an increase in debris. Consequently, we do have some debris floating in and out of slips. While we aim to remove debris from the slips as we see it, we missed some in this case. We enjoyed having you at the marina and hope to see you again soon.

Everything was great except for no shore power. We spent the night and had to run our generator all night. We were told their electrical system was sensitive to certain vessels including mine. We were told it happen to another boat at the same slip the week before. We were discounted $30. Other than that, it was perfect.

A Note from the Marina:

Thank you for your review and for staying with The Yards Marina. Our marina's power pedestals use an Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter due to new electrical code requirements requiring greater ground fault protection in marinas. As a result, some vessels may not be compatible with our shore power systems. We do our best to accommodate all vessels under this situation and proactively issued a power fee refund in this case. We hope to welcome you back to our marina soon!

Ralph on August 9th, 2021:

The young man (didn't get his name) answered our hail immediately, met us at our slip, helped us dock and stayed to be sure all of our questions were answered. No issues.

Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. While I did not need help docking, the staff was literally running to aid several customers. Marina was safe and secure. Docks were untidy and much trash and debris in water. Restrooms were okay on cleanliness but shower was a mess. I plan to return for another future stay but marina could use some tidying up.

A Note from the Marina:

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about the staff and your fair criticism about the untidiness on the docks. We will make sure our staff takes additional time to straighten up our docks in anticipation of your next arrival and the arrival of other boaters. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, many local rivers and tributaries are experiencing an increase in debris. Consequently, we do have some debris floating in and out of slips. While we aim to remove debris from the slips as we see it, we missed some in this case. We enjoyed having you at the marina and hope to see you again soon.

Steve on November 3rd, 2020:

Coordination was great and we were met on arrival by the manager, Peter Curcio. Well maintained floating docks and nice location for our two beagles as there is ample space for them to enjoy. On Sat/Sun the garbage had not been picked up for several days and was a mound of refuse. Also, the gate was broken and since Sunday (it’s now Tuesday) the place has been without any staff. When Peter showed up Tuesday all was set in order… garbage picked up, gate repaired, and Peter assisting with pump out/departure. Perhaps all they need is some help on the weekend but otherwise a great marina

John on November 3rd, 2020:

Restrooms are open to the public which is not ideal and should be restricted to those using the marina. The restrooms were clean, but smelled of sewage. I'm not sure the marina could do anything about that issue. I used the head on my boat most of the time so it was not an issue for me.

Great location. Floating docks are great. Dock master - Peter - is very helpful and accommodating. The park & restaurants nearby and the metro are the best. Fair price. Only complaint are the bathrooms/shower needs to be renovated and improved and the trash/flotsam accumulation in the water in the slips is bad. Also lots of helicopter noise - but that’s not in the marina’s control. Would definitely stay again again however.

Adil on July 7th, 2020:

Had a great experience at the marina and Peter the manager was very professional. He called the morning before arrival with slip information and was ready at the slip to assist with docking electric hookup. Lots of restaurants and nice boardwalk. The docks were clean but there is a terrible problem with trash gathering up in each slip. It’s. It not really something that the dock master or the crew has control over but there has to be some sort of a trash collection device the corporate can purchase for the staff to correct the problem.

Need to make pump-out more accessible. I had to go to James Creek Marina to get pumped out. Large yacht docked close to pump-out made it a tight squeeze but Dingy on portable dock blocked actual access. Other than above comment The Yards is a very well run marina.

Brian on August 20th, 2018:

Brian and his crew were extremely helpful and courteous. If it would not have been for them I would have given a lower rating. We were extremely disappointed in the bathhouse. The bathrooms were being shared/used by the club next door in the evening. There was a line of people waiting to use the facilities. The next morning when we went back the bathrooms were disgusting and unacceptable.

Anonymous on August 15th, 2018:

FYI- I have given the marina the opportunity to fix this issue prior to my review but have received no response. The slip I was given was full of garbage causing my AC to cut out twice during the evening and my having to open the hatch and clean out the filter during the middle of the night. There were additional slips further out on the dock that were not occupied, we complained about the trash and were not offered these slips. I understand the garbage is not completely within their control but for $100 a night they should provide a slip free or garbage or alert boaters to the condition of the marina before accepting the reservation. I had a similar issue here earlier this season. The wharf is looking like a value at this point.

A Note from the Marina:

We were sorry to read this review and that this boater was unhappy with their stay. We have connected with this boater regarding their experience, to go through the review and to get feedback for improvement. It is a shame that debris ended up in the slip, resulting in a poor experience. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, many local rivers and tributaries are experiencing an increase in debris. Consequently, we do have some debris floating in and out of slips. While we aim to remove debris as we see it, we missed some in this case. The boater asked to be relocated further down the dock to a different set of slips, but unfortunately there were no other available transient slips on that dock. The open slips referred to in this review are held under annual contracts. We did offer the boater an option to move docks into open transient slips that were free of debris, however the boater chose to stay in their original spot, near a friend. We are happy to report that this issue has been solved offline and that the boater plans to return to The Yards in the future. We look forward to welcoming this vessel back to our docks so that we can deliver the great experience that all boaters deserve.

The dock hands were very helpful.The shower area needs an exhast fan and a shelf and hooks to hang your stuff. There is no where to put your things in the shower except on the sink or on the floor.

Brand new Marina. Two blocks on Yards waterfront walkway to Nats Stadium. Outstanding staff. Secure with dock gate code from Dockmaster . Wonderful floating docks. Easy approach in Anacostia R., DC. Plenty of depth. Only drawback is no toilets/showers til Fall 2017. Once they are up and operating, will be 5 stars. We will be back. Capt Rick McHarg, EAGLE ONE, Sea Ray 450 EB
