After many years at YRYH, we made the decision to pick up anchor and move elsewhere. What used to…read morebe a marina with a restaurant has become a restaurant with a marina attached. Marina management has made it clear to slipholders who has sway here. The last straw for us is no more DIY in the boatyard. From what I hear, 35 other boats at YRYH left as well. If you are a transient coming for a weekend, you will be fine. But if you are looking for a longer term set up, you may want to consider sailing to another destination.

Morgan and Preston, GM & AGM, have made a pretty decent team and there have been some noticable…read moreimprovements this year. The boatyard is no longer operated by YRYH, it is operated by boaters world and I would steer clear of them as they have built themselves a very poor reputation since taking it over. It's true that the restaurant, YROC, has become a big driver of traffic in the marina and they can be a pain for slip holders but that has been a little better this year as well, if they expand again I'm sure I'll need to change this as it will truly be a restaurant with a marina on property but so far so good. The docks are nice floating docks with plenty of room and well maintained.

Moved our boat here in April. Competitively priced marina for the area. A bit on the "rustic"…read moreside, some of the docks starting to show a bit of wear and tear. This marina has two sides - a power boat side and a sail boat side. A ship's store, bathhouse/laundry and pool on the power boat side and another pool, bathhouse/laundry and Captain's Lounge on the sailboat side. There is wi-fi throughout, but the signal varies, depending on where you are. The staff are friendly and helpful. They do a good job of keeping the facilities clean. Have not had the chance to use the working boat yard. But all reports from others who have used them are good. The real selling point for this marina is the location on the York River. Upon leaving the marina, you can be on the Bay in about 20 minutes. Other marinas on the York, it takes a lot longer.

I have been going to Bell Isle for 10 years and have had NO issues of any kind. I have performed a…read morebottom job on my 30' sailboat during the 'Off Season' which took 5 months and also I kept a 23' runabout boat at the marina inside the fence on a rack due to the hassle of trailering. Their Forklift puts it in and takes the boat out & hoses it down after use. Then places it on my designated wood rack again. No hassle. Now (June 2019) I'm waiting for my Va, boat registration transfer from N.C. to Va. so I can change the numbers (& state) off the hull and take my new(er) Center Console boat down for the boating season. Back River is a great area to fish, relax and pull up to Factory Point and enjoy family time. I highly recommend Bell Isle. John

Great marina and people. This was not a planned stop, we just got lucky. After a few days waiting…read moreon weather to calm down we had witnessed the meticulous handling of boats being hauled in and out, admiring the attention to detail given to each one. We had planned to haul out in a few months for blister repair and bottom paint, after observing we decided we found our place. Excellent work, reasonably priced, and impeccable communication. Great pool and bath house, laundry, floating docks, dog park across the street, with instacart and walmart delivery options. Great short ride to Yorktown via dinghy to enjoy the free hop on and off trolly tour. Can't say enough great things about this place we will defiently return.

Wormley Creek Marina is by far my favorite marina so far. The staff is extremely friendly,…read moreknowledgeable and accommodating. They have just opened the new bath house, laundry room and pool. There are a couple of beautiful flower gardens, not to mention the marina is nestled in a placid area surrounded by large trees. The entire marina is pristinely manicured. They have a full working service yard and haul out. The ship store is stocked with a wide variety of boater's needs. We are on the great loop and needed a repair to our bow thruster, the marina was happy to work us in even though they were booked through July! So much to do close by, Uber does pick up from here and food can be delivered. If you get the chance this is a great place to stay.

We got to rent the smaller boat this time and cruise up and down the Chickahominy River. The owners could not be nicer, they even let my partner borrow their kids fishing pole for the day! The home itself is perfect for 2-4 people. Everything you need, plus a fantastic view of the river from your porch and firepit. At low tide you can even bring lawn chairs down the stairs to the river and use the makeshift beach to relax.

Easy access in/out, protected area, nice facilities, convenient restaurant or a fairly short walk to the village of Pheobus. Being an urban marina, you can hear a bit of the I-64 noise but it does not prevent you from getting a good night of sleep. We will definitely stay here again when cruising through the area.
