Seriously, I do not remember the last time we paid $1.00/foot per night for a transient slip…read more Twenty years ago maybe? Granted this was the special rate for Boat US members, but the regular price of $1.50 was still incredibly affordable. Electric was an additional 10 spot per night, but if we had anchored and used the generator, the fuel cost alone would have exceeded both the slip rental and the utility. So, bottom line, very good choice price wise. This super dog friendly marina is spread out on about 123 acres, so there is plenty of grass, picnic tables, an in-ground pool, even a grill. It's not fancy, more rustic than resort like, but if you only need the basics and you want to deal with super friendly people, this is the place for you. I would also recommend this place for boats with with a dinghy as this marina is located on Back Creek across from the Solomon's Peninsula. You can easily get to the "Island" by taking your inflatable to numerous other marinas with dinghy docks. The sad part is......there is nothing really worth boating to there. Of the handful of eateries, only one or two do not get DISMAL reviews. Having eaten at one of the "winners", I can only say, i would not come back. I know "Solomon's" is a big destination place for boaters plowing the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, but I don't get the draw at all. Yeah, you can raft off other vessels, drink a lot of beer and play loud music, but I really don't need to use 120 gallons of fuel round-trip to have that kind of party on the water. Besides the super interesting museum, there is nothing much here. We didn't mind as we found some excellent scenic creeks to explore and enjoyed our solitude. I know our live- aboard neighbors, however, did not share the same thought. They were headed to the Great Lakes from Charleston SC, when they realized they needed some serious engine work. Reading all the glowing reviews about Solomon's they were expecting a mini Annapolis. Boy were they sorely disappointed, especially since they were going on two weeks at that marina, waiting for parts so that they could get the work done. Yikes! Another perk at Calvert's, which we found both endearing and incredibly funny, was the courtesy car offered by the marina. Transients were able to use this vehicle, free of charge for an hour. Only other stipulation was you were NOT ALLOWED to cross the bridge over the Patuxent. (Maybe cause it wouldn't make it). Anyway, trying to figure out an ancient diesel run Mercedes was hilarious. Seat belts and power windows not working. No AC. My husband had to bend over otherwise he would have crammed his head on the roof. A little black smoke from the tail pipe, and we were off, sweaty and hot, to Food Lion to pick up some supplies. It was an experience. Oh yes, the marina does have two restaurants. One is a VERY casual cafe with some picnic benches that is dog friendly. It offered some more creative sandwich offerings compared to a basic deli, but we did not try it. The Back Creek Bistro (formerly Vincenzo's) was OK. It's upper scale (price wise), but the menu was pretty boring with no surprises. We both got the queen's cut Prime rib, and it was pretty decent. There was a rehearsal dinner going on so there was a bit of mayhem, but the servers and owner really tried to be accommodating. So the marina, easily gets four stars. Solomons Island? One. Our creeks up here are just as nice, and we don't have to burn a boat load of fuel to get there. If we ever need a stopping point when boating to further destinations, we would not hesitate to stay at Calvert Marina again.

It was actually the weekend of the Summer Solstice...so you know, the LONGEST day of the year. I think it got dark at like 9:15 (sun 'officially' set somewhere around 8:45 or so), and these douches want you to be done fishing, cleaned up, and out the damn door by 8pm!? I love this spot for the fishing. It's only an hour south of DC, but the Potomac gets to maybe 50' deep at parts (maybe more?) and it's close enough to the Chesapeake Bay that the water is brackish (high salinity level i.e. ocean fish i.e. EDIBLE fish i.e. REALLY EFFIN BIG fish are up in there. Last Friday (June 19)I was in my canoe (prolly not a good idea with all the waves and currents and stuff...my buddy's $13k pontoon party boat couldn't hack the waves there on a windy day) fishing for rockfish, bluefish, croakers, spot, spanish mackerel, flounder, and sea trout. I actually caught nothing but a shit-ton of white perch which are good only for bait. I was right around the corner from the Aqua Land Marina, beside the power plant's release gate that was making a 50' current of dead fish (the shad/herring run ended recently so there was a ton of dead fish being sucked into the current and flowed straight out). This was naturally a great place to park and try to scoop up the big boys that would invariably be parked on the outskirts, getting their fill on fish flesh. I heard something massive break the water and turned to see what looked like a shark about 40' off the shore. Being 20' off the shore, I wanted to believe that it WASN'T a shark and was only a log or something. So I just ignored it. Heart was pumpin' though. About 20 minutes later I heard it again and turned to see what looked like a 5lb fish jumping out of the water (this usually means something bigger is chasing it to the surface, trying to eat it, thus referred to as a breaking fish). Then I saw what was chasing it. The dorsal fin was sticking out of the water (maybe a 10-16" tall) and there was about 4' of exposed back. Couldn't see the tail or the head. That was definitely a shark. Most likely in the 6'-7' range. I immediately paddled to the shore, dragging both the anchors, and started freaking out. I had to paddle back to the boat ramp and this guy is now 30' offshore, in 6' flats (that's a very shallow place) that extend all the way back to my truck. In short, I'm in his eating zone and my canoe is anything but stable with all the shit I've got in it. You may not have guessed it, but I ended up surviving. Got back with nary the further incident. I didn't see him again, but I know where to find him. I went up to Bass Pros near BWI Airport and bought gear that could withstand a battle with a shark. I will be buying a real boat really soon and then it's on. I am Ahab. Or at least Roy Schneider. And I'm gonna make that sonofabitch smile. Yeah, so after researching the possibilities of sharks on the Potomac, it's most likely that it was a nurse shark (which supposedly are docile, but google a picture of one, they're hella scary looking) or a spiny dogfish (which I've actually caught before) that really doesn't pose much of a real risk. However, in 1975 I think, commercial crabbers around the exact place on the Potomac I was at, netted 5 bull sharks accidentally. Bull sharks are one of the 5-10 sharks in the world that do NOT let go when they 'accidentally' bite a human. Most sharks hate pink meat. Bull sharks love it. And they're as aggressive as a trailer-park kid on meth. This is why I got back to the truck, exhausted/sunburnt, all late and stuff. Luckily, after being locked in, someone who has a slip there was leaving and let me out. The rates are good (like $8 to launch), there's a small store with beer, maybe bait, tackle, limited snacks, and strange hours of operation. I think they sell gas there too. People shore fish to some level of luck (mostly catfish, which I do eat out there, they are fine). There is also a campground attached and it looks aight. One caveat, MD State Police have a station there and they will eyefuck you from a distance when you're drinking on your boat and/or trying to dock on the chincy little dock. So be careful.

You can read her rating of herself in this review section. I had my 44' sailboat there all last 2025 season. The electric shore power pedestal did not work when we got to the slip in May. We were assured it would be fixed immediately. I kept asking all summer. Always the same answer but no fix. All summer I had to run my own longer cable to various other pedestals which sometimes worked and sometimes did not. All that time my cables were run over by dock traffic. Management response to other issues was similarly bad as well. I won't go into it all. The season's experience was frustrating. Requested services were promised and not performed. Lower-level workers were very helpful. I expect to see these guys write some sort of rebuttal in the form of another self-assigned 5-star rating to offset this one. All I can say is "reader beware".
