Cobb's Marina, Inc

Five star ratings have to be pried from my fingers. Five stars from me are seven from nearly anyone else. I truly mean "as good as it gets." Herewith my ActiveCaptain review of Cobb's Marina as of May 2018.UPDATE May 2018This is really getting boring. I have nothing to complain about. I stopped here for fuel and a nap while waiting for the second owner to arrive for the last leg of a delivery. Dockmaster David Benns was hospitable as always. I consulted with David about a mildly creative approach to springing and warping a somewhat unwieldy 50' pilothouse ketch from the lift well bulkhead to the fuel dock to avoid backing down the fairway - it is clear David is as comfortable and competent on boats as in a marina. Many thanks--again--to all the staff at Cobb's Marina for their support and customer service.UPDATE August 2017Another delivery and another stop at Cobbs, this time for a couple of days for some minor mechanical work and to wait out some weather. Frank in the parts department tracked down some obscure parts for us really fast. The entire team at Cobb's is first rate. UPDATE July 2017Once again Cobb's Marina demonstrated that customer service is their priority during a brief visit for inbound C&I and fuel while on delivery. Many thinnks to David Benns for getting us turned around and on our way despite a later than hoped for arrival. Extract from previous review:We visited Cobb's in March of 2017. At the end of a difficult delivery that included a failed main halyard, a seized engine, and a tow from the USCG our arrival at Cobb's was welcome. Everyone on staff was helplful and kind. Dockmaster David Benns took care of us. Although we could not reach the fuel dock given our circumstances David made sure we could get diesel on the boat. The docks are nothing short of lovely with sturdy cleats and good bumper strips. Showers and baths are heated and there is plenty of hot water. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery. CBP clearance was a piece of cake.I will be back.

Had a Captain bring our boat from Florida to Connecticut, on the way, he stopped into Cobbs Marina, where he bought my husband a tee shirt. A few weeks ago, my husband stained that shirt. I called the marina, explained the situation and bought him a new shirt and had it shipped. When the shirt arrived, they included several stickers as well as a note thanking me! What nice people! Great customer service, if I get a chance to boat in Virginia Beach, we are staying there.
