Our experience
The place is very well protected and the dinghy dock is easy to access! However, it is very difficult to find a place to walk your dog.
This anchorage gives us access to all the amenities of Safe Harbor, including free washing machines.
Zahniser’s Mooring Field
Located in Solomons, Maryland, Zahniser’s Mooring Field is the mooring field associated with Safe Harbor Zahnisers, a marina established on Back Creek, near the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay. The facility is part of Zahniser’s Yachting Center, a marine business that has been operating in the area since 1960.
The mooring field allows boaters to stay off the docks while having access to the marina’s onshore facilities. Boats reach the shore by dinghy using the dock provided for that purpose. The marina welcomes transient boats and also offers maintenance and marine repair services.
Facilities include private restroom blocks with showers, a laundry, a swimming pool, picnic areas and a marine shop. The marina also has a pump-out station, a boatyard and technical services. The Italian restaurant La Vela is on site, and bicycles are available to visitors.
The Solomons area is accessible from the marina on foot, by bicycle or by dinghy, depending on the destination. The waterfront promenade, the restaurants and the Calvert Marine Museum are among the local attractions. The mooring thus provides an option for boaters who wish to visit Solomons while using a marina’s services without necessarily occupying a slip.
