Higgins Yacht Yard & Marina
Located in the historic St. Michaels Harbor on the Chesapeake Bay, our boat yard and marina has been the original port and ship yard of the town since the 1600’s. Rooted in a rich history of boat building and boat work, we continue to provide a full-service boat yard and marina today, now updated with modern amenities. With over 50 slips, we offer transient, seasonal, and annual dockage, with electric & water hook up, shower & restroom facilities, WiFi, and ice available 24/7.
We are conveniently located just footsteps away from town, being the closest marina in the harbor to the main town road, Talbot Street. Experience the quaint charm of historic St. Michaels by browsing our many shops, restaurants, galleries, museums, and more. There is something for everyone to experience and explore here in St. Michaels.

I brought my boat up from Cambridge to St. Michaels and reserved a slip for 2 nights. We had a great time while we were there and everyone at Higgins was wonderful. We left on Friday morning and got just outside the St. Michaels channel when my engine started to over heat. I got towed back in to their marina and had to leave my boat while they checked out the problem. They were on it the next day and figured out the problem. John was very honest with me and told me it was something they couldn't fix. They kept my boat safe and secure for a week until I could get back up there and bring my truck and trailer and bring it home. Robin and John and the whole team there treated me like family. I can't tell you how professional and caring these people are. They realized I was stuck in an unfortunate situation that included a nor'easter right off the coast and 45 mph winds. I absolutely recommend Higgins for boaters who want a great marina that really cares about it's guests and will be honest and fair and will not take advantage of a situation that that was completely out of anyone's control. Best wishes to the whole crew. Bob Baldwin

Jun 4, 2024 · Google ReviewWe use Higgins Yacht Yard for numerous reasons including boat storage, boat maintenance/service as well as the Log Canoe Inn for accommodations. The staff/team go above and beyond to make things happen! We love staying here on our boat at the private accommodations of the Log Canoe Inn. The property is so unique because it’s an actual working boatyard! The main pier system is brand new and there is always ice available! We have met so many friendly transients on the weekends too. The boatyard bathroom/showers are always clean and they’re just what we need in order to cleanup for dinner out in St. Michael’s! Also, Higgins is incredibly dog friendly. I also feel like it’s the best location because it’s a dead end street, quiet, but you’re also in the middle of town! The history of the boatyard and Log Canoe Inn is very interesting. We have been coming to Higgins for years and we have seen so many huge improvements to their amenities. Looking forward to see what more is to come!
Aug 8, 2022 · Google ReviewYou would think that a town like St. Michaels would have many boating provisions, but you'd be mistaken. Groceries are scarce since Acme closed and other essentials can be hard to find, too. We left home without holding tank treatment and expected to be able to find some easily…but no. Higgins to the rescue! We walked to the yacht yard in the midst of a downpour and the staff not only had the product ready at the door but invited us to stay until the storm passed. They even offered us drinks and comfortable seats. They went well beyond the level of service I would expect. They also had a full complement of boat maintenance supplies, so we'll definitely be back (who can go out on the boat without needing something, right?). Thank you so much your kindness!
