CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

We have very limited dockage available on a first come, first serve basis. Cost is $2/foot/night plus $10/night for electric. 

There is an honor box for cash and we also accept Venmo.

OUR BATH HOUSE IS CLOSED.

We will reopen in May, 2025!

NOTE TO MARINERS: 

Smith Island's access channels and basin areas are dredged to 7.5 feet MLLW. Beware of old charts. 2 large ferries travel these channels daily.  Both the North and Eastern entry channels are SKINNY. The channel is approximately 40 feet wide. DO NOT "Ping Pong" from marker to marker! The channel markers are often marking the extreme edge of the channel! STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHANNEL, USE CURRENT CHARTS, AND COME IN AT A REASONABLE SPEED! 

If you bump or run aground, try BACKING OFF and changing course slightly! DO NOT THROTTLE FORWARD! 

If you are unsure, coming in with the tide is always a good plan! 

Welcome to 3 Knots Marine! We are OPEN! 

You can reach our Dockmaster on 

Channel 78 or by cell phone: 443-797-2490
