Nice and tucked back into the creek but plenty of depth. Cute walkable town with restaurants and shops or use a loaner car to grab groceries. Facilities nice and clean (bath mats are a plus) and free laundry! Highly recommend for a quiet few days

Lovely spot, easy in and out at new floating docks. Very friendly staff. Great town and a loaner car to boot! The only thing we didn't know was that you could get to the showers via the laundry room locked door. (they closed a metal roll-up door by the showers, so we thought they were closed) Figured it out later!

We tied up to bulkhead. Quiet and secure. Small town. Not much choice for eating out but Mallards at the marina was a home run. Clean convenient bathrooms and laundry. Helpful staff. They have a courtesy car to get to local grocery stores.

Marina Response:

We love staying here! We’ve been coming here for over 20 years. The floating docks are wonderful, the town is very charming, everyone is amazing, friendly and helpful. So many great restaurants! We love walking in the neighborhood close to the marina. We consider this a place to not be missed when we are cruising. And free laundry is always nice. You should definitely plan to come here!!!!!!!

Nice people managing the marina, great communication. CLEANEST restrooms on the loop so far! Well protected harbor up the Onancock Creek. It was blowing 20 knots in the bay and Barely a ripple in the marina. Definitely a great stop, town was walking distance and a nice SUV curtsy car for the 2 mile ride for groceries

The marina is small, but nice and well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. Easy walk into the town of Onancock. Big and clean bathrooms/showers!

What a lovely little town and a very nice marina. Easy walking distance to town. Marina is clean and docks are well maintained, free laundry and nice showers. There are two golf carts to rent and a loaner car that allows you to travel to grocery store and Walmart. I recommend this marina highly.

Onancock Wharf Marina is a definite must visit stop. We had planned to be there for a couple days but ended up staying three nights due to the admirals Onley hospital stay. The marina staff were very helpful, making sure we had the use of the loaner vehicle so I could visit and bring my wife back to the boat when she was discharged. Everything worked out except she didn't get to see much of Onancock. We did enjoy the Mallard restaurant next to the Wharf. We enjoyed coffee and doughnuts with the crew of the Knot Alone before we departed on 17th April. The town, creek, and historic homes are so picturesque. You can see and feel that there is a real pride of place in this little town. We will be back when we can experience everything Onancock has to offer. We look forward to returning.

Marina Response:

I hope your wife is feeling better. Yes, a return visit is a must. Until then, take care. Best, Kellie

Onancock is a sweet little town on the beautiful Onancock Creek. The marina is very well maintained and the staff is very helpful and nice. The marina offers a courtesy car and you can rent golf carts, too. The town is great for walking with restaurants and a couple of pubs nearby along with some local shops and coffee houses. A very good restaurant is right at the marina docks. We are so glad we stopped to take it all in!

There is everything to like about Onancock. The marina is super clean and organized. The dockmaster was super helpful and friendly. The quaint town is a short walk and has everything a transiting boater can ask for. The approach to Onancock is among the must scenic on the Bay. A most stop and visit.

Love the marina and town but they need to fix their WiFi. Doesn’t work except for maybe the first 3slips.

Marina Response:

Thank you for staying with us. We are currently in the process of updating our wifi as we know it is an important feature for our guests. The new router and spectrum have been installed and are awaiting the last piece of setup from Spectrum. So the next time you return it will be fully operational. We hope to see you again.
