About Castle Marina
Freedom Boat Club of Maryland & DC – Castle Marina is conveniently located on the eastern shore, in a well-protected basin directly off the Chester River on the north side of Kent Island.
The Chesapeake Bay is a short trip around Love Point, from there you can cruise on to Annapolis, Baltimore's Inner Harbor or Rock Hall. The Chester River leads up the Eastern Shore of Chestertown, with many other rivers, creeks and hidden treasures to discover. Or, head south through the Kent Narrows and make St. Michaels, Oxford or Cambridge your destination.
Play all day on the water and wind down at the end of the day to beautiful sunsets. An Olympic size swimming pool, hot tub, child’s wading pool, and picnic pavilion are available onsite for your use on the day of your reservation (pass required). Whether you just want to relax, fish, cruise or explore, Castle Marina and Kent Island have everything you need. With two great restaurants on site, and many great restaurants and dock bars at Kent Narrows just minutes away, you can always find great seafood nearby, along with entertainment and outlet shopping. A quiet and relaxing oasis, just a short distance from Rt 50.
