Little Creek - Cove Marina

The Cove Marina, located at 1101 Okinawa Road (Bldg. 1517), is the full-service marina aboard JEB Little Creek. We serve active duty, retired military, qualifying veterans and DOD personnel. For wet slip storage, we offer 84 concrete floating dock slips.

There is no better place for boaters and fishermen of all shapes and sizes to stop in and find what they need at bottom-dollar prices! Some of our amenities include: well-stocked bait, tackle and marine supply store, boat rentals, onsite boat ramps, pump-out dock, wash-down area, fishing areas, bath houses and VSWFT certified fish weigh station. Our aim is to always have what you need when you need it, but if we don’t, we’ll special-order any marine supply item and have it in stock the next day by nine o’clock.

Wet Slips 

Wet slips are available for monthly rental, including 20A, 30A, & 50A electricity and water. Dock boxes are included.

Military/DOD identification, proof of insurance, boat registration or Coast Guard documentation, Coast Guard Vessel Safety Inspection, and a current credit card is required to complete a slip contract at Cove Marina.

Boat Ramp

Cove Marina has a boat ramp onsite, less than 3 miles from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel! Ramp fees are $5 per day, or $65 for a yearly ramp pass, which runs from October 1 to September 30 each year. Ramp passes are prorated to $35 starting in April. Patrons using the boat ramp must sign out each time they use the ramp. During store hours, patrons must sign out using the launch ramp log located in the store; otherwise, patrons may fill out a boat ramp envelope and put it in the dropbox located near the store entrance. After launching a boat, patrons may park their trailer and truck up near the road, directly ahead of the boat ramp. Patrons departing or entering the harbor must request permission to transit from Port Control using Channel 12 on VHF radio or by calling 757-462-7791, prior to crossing the orange buoy line. Patrons entering the harbor must stay by the buoy line to await an ID check after requesting transit. The entire harbor is a ‘No Wake Zone’.

 

Boat Rentals

All year round, Cove Marina provides patrons the opportunity to get out on the water and have a great time. Don’t have a boat? Not a problem. We have rental boats trailered and ready for launch, whether you’re looking to launch on-site or out in town! Our 19', Mckee Craft is available for rental during the boating season. A copy of your state boating safety certificate is required to qualify. Once you feel the rush of the salt-air or the thrill of a big catch, you’ll be hooked!
