Jacques tried on several occasions to have the Fuel Dock switch to Working Channel: 68 but, request was never honored. Insisting on Channel 16.

Within walking distance to/from Atlantic Yacht Basin (Chesapeake, VA) and supposedly delivery also available to your boat.

Local full-service Kroger (Chesapeake, VA) is within walking distance or you can order online and they will deliver your order to your boat including beer and wine. Our attempt to order online was unsuccessful (without alcohol) according to the Kroger Representative the error message results from the inability to order from the local store with a out of state billing address.

Many Nordhavn owners have recommended this place, so we stopped to have James provide a quote on our southbound cruise for several projects to be done over the Fall ’26 before our extended southbound trip.

Provides 5 cents off diesel only fuel with 200+ gallons. Prices are not nearly as competitive compared to other places.

Upon our arrival we attempted to get a appointment with James T to review our project request. Denied and told to call in the am. Called multiple times and he didn’t answer or return calls. Walked to the office, Receptionist didn’t know about his whereabouts. Left a voicemail, that we stopped here in hopes of getting a quote and coordinating repair work in the Fall southbound trip. We’ll never know if he would have actually called back as Jacques bumped into him along the grounds. Did arrive with paper and took notes.

Stay Again: Maybe
