Guide
Approach and anchoring
Mobjack Bay opens off the western Chesapeake and is fed by four rivers: the East, North, Ware and Severn. Thomas Creek branches off the East River, with holding on mud and shelter from west through south-west to south. Watch the depths on the way in and keep to the deeper water.
Practical
Compass Marina lies 0.8 miles to the south at the mouth of the East River, with 17 slips and a channel dredged to 8 feet at low water. Zimmerman Marine, a full-service boatyard, is 1.1 miles to the north-west and hauls catamarans.
