The new docks and renovations at the Wharf Marina are incredible. The transition from what it used to be to what it is now is really something to marvel at. We'll actually make the trip up the Potomac and stay there now! All of the new construction around it is great too, cant wait to go back summer '23 when it's all completely done.

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.

A Note from the Marina:

We'd like to thank this boater for staying with The Wharf Marina. We appreciate this review and the opportunity to improve our service, and hope to welcome this boater back in the future!

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.

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 members. 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 hope to welcome this boater back to the marina for another stay in the future!

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.

A Note from the Marina:

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. Thank you for using Oasis Marinas during your boating journey, and we look forward to hosting you again.

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.

Couldn’t get a hold of anyone at the marina to let know we were 15mins away. Called on 72 and on the phones lines no answer. It was super scary with so many boats in the channel. Next morning no toilet paper in the bathrooms and two workers were just chatting in the lounge area. I did tell them there wasn’t she apologize a gentlemen gave me a roll. She didn’t go back in to add toilet paper to the rest is the stalls however. The marina itself was nice. Just needs a bit more training with staff to keep it nice.

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.

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.

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!

Great location with nice floating docks. New so no WiFi and one portable shower used by public. Friendly staff.

Advertising monthly rates on website, called and they don't do not offer? Have to pay daily rate plus flat rate per cord per day for electric. Good luck with that, we will take our money elsewhere, bad business.

Good docks. Great location! But no wifi internet. A great place to tour DC from, but don't expect 5 star amenities like a pool, captains lounge, courtesy car, etc.

Upon arrival the deck hands there were great. Very helpful and help dock boat with no issues. But I had to move slips twice to find a power hook-up that would reach my boat. Only issue or complaint I have is that it was not clearly stated that the facilities was just two small bathrooms and one only having a shower.

Great facility!! I will definitely use again.

Always a great visit to The Wharf Marina. The staff is incredible you feel like you are at a truly professional marina from hailing them on VHF until you depart. The facilities are clean. Waking up and looking at the Washington Monument is incredible. The access to incredible restaurants and activities at The District Wharf area is amazing. I will definitely be returning.

Great experience we booked because of proximity to Fireworks and were not disappointed. Marina staff were incredibly attentive and would check a few times a day to ensure you were okay and bring ice if you needed it. Reggie and his crew were awesome ..

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.

Poor experience on arrival. Dockhand did not assist us and directed us to a slip with another boat in it already. Dockhand called the 'manager' and handed us the phone, but there was nobody on the other end of the line.

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.

Very convenient location. Easy access to a dog-friendly park just outside the gate. Not as busy with tourists and others as the Market Dock.

Adil on September 22nd, 2020:

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.

Ben was great. Unfortunately after he departed at 10 the person from B26 on the end had his friends pull in and tie up first by Cantina Bambina then directly behind us blasting music. Very foul lyrics at extreme volume. No care was given to other boaters. The group eventually left after a few hours.

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!

Great facility overall, power pedestals not working and bird poop everywhere were concerning given the price. Simply installing dog cutouts or owls might solve the bird problem. Roger is a phenomenal dock hand and ensured that we found power and had the needed facilities close by. Recommend it to anyone looking for a transient location with access to most needed items minus service for engines or mechanicals, shopping and dining close by are top tier and worth investigating.

Stayed on a mooring for 5 nights. Fantastic location right next to Washington DC. Close to everything -- metro station, Safeway grocery, tons of restaurants and the National Mall. Dinghy dock is five minutes away located between the Y and Z docks where the full time, live-aboards are docked. It's behind a locked gate so seemed very secure. Free laundry was a bonus. Only downside was that there was a lot of construction going on with pounding machinery right on the wharf. Also, it's right under the helicopter flight path so you'll be hearing the whirr of helicopter blades quite frequently. We'd stay here again.

The dock people were very helpful. Power cord available at the slip. Slips not easily identifiable when approaching from the water. Concrete floating slips were large and clean. For price paid, had the following issues: ONE portable bathhouse not acceptable for number of slips. One separate toilet and one shower room with toilet was not air-conditioned and showerhead had to be held to keep water flowing. Faucet difficult to regulate water temp. No WiFi as advertised. Need to take a cab or Uber to get to second set of bath facilities and office at sister (Old Gangplank) Marina.

Bathroom facilities are pathetic. Located on small boat with only two unisex stalls. For the money paid per slip, rates no stars. Marina and slips were fine, but the bathroom facilities were terrible.

Great place, enjoyed our time there. The dinghy dock service is superb with two locations, one very close to the fish market. We were on the moorings. Very pleasant.
