Stayed on mooring #3 for two nights in late May 2023. Slight current and moorings are heavy duty. New facilities, incredible staff, and a vibrant boardwalk. Lots of restaurants and shops. Very secure area and many DC attractions are walkable. If you love helicopters, they fly up the Washington Channel.

Great location to museums, most are within a mile. Dock hands are polite and ask if we needed anything whenever they saw us. There is a floating restroom attached to dock but we did not use it. Transient docks (Market Docks) are gated and code enabled but that didn’t keep the locals out. We were there for 4 days and numerous times locals, who did not have boats, were coming into dockage and fishing and just hanging out...once to offer liquor to a person in a canoe, who drank it there at the dock. The dock masters saw locals enter gates and never stopped them from coming in. We never felt unsafe but if one has the code how many more use it? Also beware of power issues. They bring attention on web site as to updated power. However, they have issues on their end. Power stations look to be of the early fault system in that they are more sensitive then current versions. The first tower we hooked up to tripped ( slip M01) I found that one leg had only 50 volts.

A Note from the Marina:

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent experience with the marina. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement and deliver a better experience for our guests. We understand the importance of having a reliable power supply for our guests, and we assure you that we are actively working to improve this aspect of our facilities. Thank you once again for sharing your observations, and we appreciate your understanding. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you better during your next visit.

Leigh and her staff run a great marina for transients. Excellent info on entry, good dock hands to help. Cierra at the office couldn't have been a better "friend" for us transients. The new docks are awesome, wide, floating and concrete. Access to all DC has to offer is top notch. While it is a premium priced marina, you get all that you pay for and more. A must stay in DC.

Leigh runs a great marina for transients. The dock hands were helpful and prompt with requests. The office staff, Sierra, made us feel welcome from moment one. The location can't be beat for access to all the DC has to offer. One of the best places on our spring trip.

Reservations were simple, even when I wanted to switch from one night to two. I had 12 boats from my yacht club for the trip and because I didn’t have a 50amp to 30Amp converter, I was on a different dock. I have since bought the converter so I’m looking forward to my next trip. Jessie’s seafood wholesale is a must also

The Wharf Marina is in a very convenient location to numerous restaurants and several museums. The docks are new and in great shape. However, during our stay in early October there was not a whole lot of on-going maintenance. Bird droppings on the docks were never cleaned up. The lounge, while nice, never had fresh coffee during my visits. The heads could be cleaned more often.

The positive: Marina manager is super helpful and the marina is very nice with great facilities and great location. The negatives: Other than the marina manager, the staff is poor. One member is incredibly lazy and slow.  When I was coming in alone and asked for assistance docking I was told “we will try to get someone there”. Well, that someone couldn’t walk any slower.  Another boater ran from further away, passed the dock hand who said “ let me get out of your way” and helped me secure the boat.  We were done before the dock hand arrived. Upon checkin the employee at the desk was unhelpful and truly unorganized. The docks require a FOB to get through the gate.  He initially argued that wasn’t necessary as they had a ring camera to buzz us through. That was not the case. The manager eventually stepped in and helped.

The floating restrooms appear to be sinking. The bathrooms at the Office building need closer regular attention. Regular weekend early morning restocking and cleaning would solve the habitual problems with them. Toilet paper does not need to be kept under lock and key, with the employees on site unable to access it.

Reggie and Henry were outstanding as always. Professional, courteous, all around excellent. My biggest complaint was the floating head was on a severe list. It was still usable but had I known it was listing that badly I would have opted for a slip in the new development.

Anonymous on August 14th, 2022:

It’s a great location!!! Really nice deck hands so outgoing and kind!!! When I called to let them know we were close the dock master didn’t send anyone out which was strange- lots of goose poop on the dock but someone came and power washed it after we were already tied up…. Would’ve been nice to have already done that- y’all need to get your gates working because having to walk so much further was an inconvenience- great location though and will be back!

James on August 14th, 2022:

Great location, but upon arrival, numerous power pedestals did not work, there was no water pressure (fresh water), and no internet at the piers. The guest bathroom facilities were located on a barge that has a definite tilt. The design of the marina was such that it acted as a trash trap. The amount of scum, trash, and wood that was in the marina was unbelievable. Given the slip rate, a bit more attention to detail would have been appropriate.

A Note from the Marina:

We'd like to thank this boater for staying with The Wharf Marina in our Market Docks section. Due to updated marina safety code requirements, our power pedestals are equipped with a sensitive ground fault protection system, which can cause some vessels with internal current leakage to have issues with holding dock power. Our team does our best to help boaters test and troubleshoot this issue if it arises and did so in this case. Regarding the debris, unfortunately after large storms, many local rivers and tributaries experience an increase in debris which can end up floating in and out of slips in marinas. 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.

Nice staff. New docks are sturdy but really dirty with bird droppings. Marina tries to do well with security, but one gate was open 50% of the time. Cool concept and great location for hitting the museums. It’s a long way up a scenic river for a lot of trash and logs floating in the water. It’s city, with all the experience of all that comes with… a city. A must stop, once.

Anonymous on July 27th, 2022:

At the price this place charges you expect a great experience. It is a beautiful location but the transient operation of this marina is a clear forgotten stepchild of the main operation a few hundred yards away -which has very nice heads & showers. Docks are new and nice BUT: Wi-Fi service poor, Head is a small floating unit that is presently listing at 30 deg - not tempting, Minimal welcome packet w/no information provided on laundry facilities - in office 100s yds away, Overly complicated instructions to reach slip. Just say motor almost to the bridge turn right at dock w/blue signs that say "Wharf Marina Docks". Derek the dockhand was very helpful but the staff in the office seem disinterested in transient operation and not knowledgeable. I have stayed at other Oasis operations and was impressed with them. But this place seems to have fundamental management issues for transients.

We'd like to thank this boater for staying with The Wharf Marina and for taking time to provide feedback. We take our customer service experience seriously here at The Wharf, and will work to address the concerns mentioned to help improve our transient experience.

Received a text from Reggie the morning of arrival to introduce himself and to find out my eta. He met us in the dock and guided us to our slip and helped us tie up and connect water and electric. He gave us the welcome packet and showed us the facility. The location is great with plenty of restaurants and activities. We stayed for four nights. Gas dock staff was helpful with gas and pump out. Will definitely return to Wharf Marina

No WiFi/internet. Management does not communicate well with staff or customers, was originally told before booking we could all be placed together which did not happen. Received 2 emails about 20% discount and when we asked we were told that was a mistake and it would not be honored. Bathrooms were disgusting and I brought it to the attention of the staff. Nothing was done about it. They had a schedule for pump out service. When the time was not met, manager stated “they” (assuming hourly employees) should have never have made a schedule. Absolutely no accountability taken from management the whole time. Head dock hand couldn’t properly assign slips. Originally assigned a boat in my group that was already taken and never wanted to acknowledge his mistake and made a point to tell me he was doing me a personal favor by trying to rectify. He is not good at handling stress it seems. Most likely will not return.

The facility is beautiful, the location is great, and the amenities would have been outstanding…if they worked. The WiFi was out the whole weekend, which the staff knew beforehand but didn’t reveal until after we arrived. The power dropped out several times throughout the weekend, with no explanation as to why. The bathrooms were consistently messy and without toilet paper. Quite a few kinks need to be worked out before this marina is ready for prime time and several members of the staff seemed indifferent about all of it and their attitudes didn’t help.

Made reservation months in advance for Market Docks, but was unexpectedly assigned slip in different marina that was not even open at the time of reservation. Also assigned an undesirable slip overlooking trash receptacles and undersides of a building (while numerous empty slips proved to be available next to others in my group). New marina has promise, and staff is personable, but poor rationale to slip assignments, Wi-Fi didn't work the entire visit, power went out one day, and toilet paper ran out another. Not worth the premium rate.

The showers, laundry, club room, and staff cannot be beat. The staff was always going out of their way to help us, answer questions and ensure that we were having a terrific time. The fuel dock is in a great location and opened the day we left. The Wharf is lined with fabulous restaurants and a terrific bar scene. CVS, UPS, and groceries also within minutes of the marina. Walking and biking trails right off the dinghy dock and your view is of the Washington Monument....Can I say anything more??? Great job to The Wharf Marina.

They have a new office & lounge area that is very nice. Bathrooms, showers & laundry - they are way to walk from the Market wharf, but starting at the market wharf, it is amazing for people watching, restaurants, music & entertainment! Free shuttle bus in town to great locations too. This waterfront is perfect for exploring all the great sites of DC.

The personnel were great as usual. Everything clean & tidy. Only problem is I think the 50 Amp electrical connection is not working properly. Boat was not powered properly and killed my starboard battery bank. Can't prove this but the marina should check the electrical towers.

A Note from the Marina:

We'd like to thank this boater for staying with The Wharf Marina and will pass their complements to our staff. Our newly rebuilt docks are compliant with the most rigorous electrical standards dictated by the National Electric Code, and our pedestals are very sensitive to the slightest imbalance which can be caused by a variety of boat-related conditions. After this boater's stay, we did bring in certified electricians to test and check the system and specifically this boater's pedestal, and found no issues. We did issue a refund via Snag-A-Slip for the power charges. We hope to welcome them back for another stay in the future!

I know you are in the middle of a renovation and most of my criticism relate to that. Your laundry option was NOT an option. Your maps of the marina were terrible and inaccurate. We loved the pump out boat but you never told us it was available. If you continue to put transient boats at the Market Pier please let people know that these services are not readily available at this time. Also let them know that the bridge that is looming a few feet from my 65 foot mast as I was coming in will not be a problem. It was a great 6 nights we spent with you guys. The location was wonderful and very secure.

Normally prefer to use our own ground tackle and be self sufficient at anchor. That said, we chose to try this small mooring field and thrilled that we did. Perfect location for exploring all DC has to offer. Met Chris (assistant GM) who was extremely welcoming and proud of the facilities which are undergoing a huge renovation. Chris and team were accommodating and the benefits were great - water as needed, pump outs, dinghy landing, laundry, etc all included in reasonable mooring rates considering the location. Only one ball to accommodate a vessel our size but we lucked out and it was available. Moorings in great condition as well!

Very nice marina and great location. The only downside is the daily rate that they charge is higher than any other marina in the DC area. Hence, the marina is always empty with the exception of boats waiting to be chartered. Very quiet, since no one else is there.

Great location but limited services for transients. As a transient (stayed 1 week) we were placed WAY AWAY from the main marina facilities. The close location to restaurants, bars, water taxi (for tours or to just go to Old Town Alexandria), and even to the great marine store at Washingto Marina next door, was fantastic. But it was a long walk to pick up packages and to use the laundry at the main marina office. And Wifi at the transient docks was spotty at best. So 5 stars for location & 1 star for services. At the price they charge to transients they really need to up their game.

Incredible location in DC at the Wharf. This marina puts you within walking distance to incredible restaurants and shopping. There are events in the are and it is just a short trip to the National Mall that can be done by Uber, scooter, or walking. The floating docks we were at were nice and new. The dockhands were very helpful as we approached in identifying a slip, taking into consideration our preferences for slip location, helping us locate our slip, and were available to help with dock lines. They also made themselves available for questions about the area and gave us a welcome packet with information about the area. We did not try to take advantage of laundry facilities. The WiFi was good enough to stream videos for my kids on their iPads. The restrooms/showers were on a floating platform with just two units. They were clean, but are likely not adequate when the docks are full on a big weekend like the 4th of July. It looked like they had pumpkin facilities, but we did not take advantage of that.

Very nice place and location. Employee working the front could have been little nicer upon greeting. It seems like transient slips would be a strong offering for them. It seemed like it was more of an annoyance. The docks and everything are very clean and some other employees we encountered on the market docks were more attentive and helpful. I don’t traditionally write bad reviews as I have my own business. Just needs some training and better instructions on entering the Marina as there are many docks.

We are self contained and stayed on a mooring. Shore access was great. The wharf has many restaurants and is close to the Mall for sight seeing. There were 3 dinghy docks in the immediate area for various needs. One at the park on the west shore, and two at the Wharf side at either end of the basin. Pumpout service is available by pumpout boat or at the docks.

When booking marinas, we look for certain criteria, especially when paying top dollar per foot to stay there. The Wharf Marina advertises laundry services and internet. Upon docking, John the dockhand - very nice, simply was surprised I asked about both and indicated they had neither. We could get laundry at their other marina, which was pretty far away to carry laundry and internet did not exist for transients. This marina has a far way to go before they can be charging the prices they are asking without any amenities. In this day and age, who doesn't have Wifi for people, but certainly you cannot advertise things that are not correct. I would not recommend for transients.

Clean marina with great service. Dock hand was waiting at our slip and guided us to our slip. He was very professional. I did have to dock at the pump out on arrival to find a crew member who had to find a proper slip for my boat. On arrival I called and was advised to find a crew member which required me to first dock at the pump out location. Would have been easier if the person on the phone asked a crew member to guide us right to our slip. Overall a great experience.

Stay itself was great. The people were friendly, helpful, and easy to work with. The slip itself was essentially a finger pier, which considering how far back in the channel we were, is fine. There was water and electric. Scheduling was a slightly different ball game. I was attempting to leverage the benefit of being a slip holder at another Oasis facility, and there was lots of confusion on the how or what. Ultimately scheduled without the benefit, but took lots of phone calls in between.

A Note from the Marina:

We appreciate this review and the opportunity to improve. As an Oasis Marinas Cruising Club member, slipholders at participating Oasis Marinas are entitled to 2 free nights annually at another participating Oasis Marinas property. However, holiday weekends and special events are excluded from the free nights. This stay was over the July 4th weekend, which is why the free nights could not be used. We hope to welcome this boater back to our dock again in 2020 to deliver another stellar stay!
