This is my first visit to Tidewater. I'm leaving here on a delivery for Annapolis. I think there's a lot of potential for this to be a 5 star marina. It's mostly nice, but some areas are in need of repair. Staff was gone when we arrived. Other boaters said the staff is minimal but friendly. Restroom and shower was nice. Floating pool has been removed. Kind of a strange feel that the marina is in auto-pilot.

Yes there is construction going on. It didn't seem to be messy or inconvenient to us. We had a nice floating dock and felt secure. Good bar (with a nice happy hour) on premises. Nice showers and laundry (machines take credit cards not coins). They texted me a map of the marina before arrival, so we knew where the heck we were going! Loved that, it was great customer service. Good walking in town, some good restaurants (beer garden especially), Children's Museum, theater. Plus we took the ferry over to Norfolk and tours the USS Wisconsin, an absolute must. You need exact fare OR you can get tickets at the corner of High St and Water St at the kiosk. We rented a car (you can walk to Enterprise if you don't mind a sketchy neighborhood) and visited Williamsburg.

This Suntek Marina is In a state of disrepair/repair. Lots of projects going on but the place overall is a mess. They have no fuel, the pool is gone and the laundry room machines are mostly broken. Luckily the pump out works ?. The bathrooms by the office are okay and do seemed to get cleaned somewhat regularly but things like hand the hand soap go unfilled for days. It's dirty .. I get construction, as I have managed huge multi-million dollar projects in my career. There is definitely room for improvements here, the staff don't seem to have any vested interest in making the place look better or clean it up. The staff also don't seem to know what's going on or when anything will be finished. Suntek needs to update their website and let transient boaters and know what to expect here. The property has so much potential.

Perfect spot to watch the Harborfest. They put on a dinner which was delicious. Easy to take ferry over to Norfolk.
