Rock Hall is a unique destination for visitors from all over the world who enjoy boating. With its location right on the Chesapeake Bay, there are many opportunities to rent a small boat or kayak for a day. In addition, larger boats are available for bare-boat chartering and captained bay cruises.
Rock Hall is considered to be the ideal home port for
pleasure boaters. Its sheltered marinas, deep water, and almost instant access to the bay, have made it a comfortable location to slip away from it all. Kent County Parks and Recreation offers thirty-nine boat slips available for rental through the County Public Landings Office.
To access other Kent Count LandSings and Landing Regulations, visit the Kent County, Department of Public Works. (Public landings in Rock Hall are controlled by Kent County regulations and fee structures.)
Rock Hall’s enduring heritage as a major fishing and oystering port on the upper Chesapeake Bay still lives on today. Opportunities for fishing and crabbing can be found through our many local fishing charters as well as on
East Neck Island, the federal wildlife refuge.
