Our Story
Merrimac Shores Marina is a family-owned marina in Hampton, Virginia under new ownership and getting real, practical upgrades—new floating docks, new 13,000 lb boat lifts, a dredged channel, and a renovated bath house. Since 1945, Merrimac Shores has been in operation, and we are proud to be the new owners continuing that history. We’re a clean, friendly marina for everyday boaters who want fair, honest pricing and an easy place to keep their boat in Hampton.
