Welcome to the Chester River Marina

A marina retreat on Maryland's Chester River with world-class stargazing, sandy shores, and everything the Eastern Shore has to offer.

WHERE THE RIVER OPENS UP
Welcome!

A Quiet Retreat on Maryland's Chester River

Chester River Marina at Kennersley Point was founded by a group of passionate boaters who grew up on the water and wanted to create a community of like-minded people who love what Maryland has to offer. We’re a family-friendly destination – part working marina, part waterfront retreat – tucked into one of the most beautiful and uncrowded stretches of the Chester River.

Whether you’re arriving by boat or by car, staying for a weekend or the whole season, you’ll find a place that feels like home.

Dark Skies, No Light Pollution

The Best Stargazing in Maryland

Kennersley Point sits in one of the darkest pockets of the Chesapeake region. Surrounded by farmland and water, there’s virtually no competing light on any horizon. Step off your boat or out of your tent and into a sky full of stars.

On clear nights, the Milky Way rises clearly over the Chester River. Watch meteor showers from the sandy beach or settle into a chair at the oyster boat bar. Some nights, the sky is the whole show.

  • Zero Ambient Light: No towns, no highways, no competing glow on any horizon.

  • Sandy Beach Viewing: Lay out a blanket on the beach or sit at the pool, perfect viewing angles all around.

  • Seasonal Events: Watch for meteor showers and planetary events from the most private vantage point on the Shore.
