If I were asking the same question of you, would I want to go to a big marina and meet a lot of other transient sailors or would I want to go to a little fishing village and meet some real Norwegians?

It's probably not the most "full service" Marina you'll find but I must recommend Taylors Island Marina on the Eastern Shore

As a Norwegian visiting this country you might enjoy interacting with the local waterman. They were friendly and helpful.

We were bringing my boat down form Rock Hall to North Carolina when we developed some problems and pulled into Taylors Island. A local oysterman helped us tremendously and we ended up at the Marina. The hauling ($300 out and back in) and ground storage of $125 per month was so attractive I decided to leave the boat there for the winter.

It's a little out of the way- 100 miles from Baltimore, but there is a West Marine store about 40 minutes away and a nice little town.


It’s under new management Call Robert at (410) 463-3748 if you’re interested and see if they can meet your needs.
