Large marina with covered slips, multiple buildings, and extensive striped surface parking lots containing numerous vehicles adjacent to the water.
Piney Narrows Yacht Haven is located in Kent Narrows, Maryland, a narrow waterway that connects the Chester River to the Chesapeake Bay, offering boaters access to the broader estuarine system along Maryland's portion of the Atlantic Coast. This marina serves recreational sailing and boating enthusiasts, particularly those navigating the sheltered waters of the Chesapeake Bay for activities like cruising and fishing. Its strategic position in this tidal region makes it a gateway for exploring the Mid-Atlantic's coastal waterways.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
