(Note: "Tidewater" of Virginia means just that..We have shallow depths and adherence to marked channels or local knowledge is a must. Shoaling and shifting silt and sand does occur. This map shows you the necessary marks to get to this Marina. Technically, the channel entrance at 1-2 is the channel for Wallaces state ramp. You actually leave the channel mid-way between 11-12 and 15-16, turning left and coming to the Marina. Following the channel all the way takes you to Wallaces, where Diesel/gas/bait etc are available. You could turn around there and come back out and then turn right after passing 15-16. We have over 7 foot draft sailboats come here often. Some power boaters stir up the silt and think they are running aground. Some depth finders are not accurate in the silt and soft mud.(indicating less depth than actual) Please call for high tides if you like. 4 foot plus drafts should come at mid to rising or high tides, as the high tide would give you max protection for 4 foot plus draft.):) To see NOAA chart of area the marina is in, we are in the upper left hand corner of the chart: http://mapfinder.nos.noaa.gov/Images/Charts/12222_1.gif
