Cape Charles Town Harbor

Cape Charles Town Harbor has up to 18 ft depths in some berths. The Municipal Corporation of Cape Charles Harbor, a designated VA Clean Marina, ably hosts a unique mix of commercial, industrial, and recreational vessels in its protective basin boasting 52 fixed pier slips (7/ft mlw) and 44 Floating slips (17/ft mlw) with 18 dockside or T-Head dockage up to 200ft length. Whether for work or play, patrons enjoy access to the greatest fishing areas on the Chesapeake Bay. Visitors can watch Watermen haul in and off-load their daily catches of Blue Crabs, Horse Shoe Crabs, Conchs, Fish, Clams, Shark, and Scallops. The Harbor’s state-of-the-art public boat ramps are enjoyed by both individual pleasure and sport fishing crafts as well as the charter boats that run expeditions daily for Cobia, Striped Bass, Flounder, Drum, Spade, Trout and Croaker. Transient vessels appreciate the Harbor for its deepwater slips and docks and short walk to the re-emerging Historic Town. This one-of-a-kind, non-segregated facility continues the Town’s tradition of a vibrant transportation industry, which visitors can observe from their vessel. The Harbor is vital to several local companies which utilize the large dock space and deepwater draft to bring their product via tug and barge to and from the Eastern Shore.Patrons value the Cape Charles Harbor for its clean, well-maintained facilities and knowledgeable staff, its proximity to the charms of Cape Charles, and its singular character as a hub of commerce, sport, and pleasure.
