Port of Cambridge

Cambridge’s waterfront opens onto the Choptank River, with the municipal yacht basin close to the mouth of Cambridge Creek. The basin serves recreational boaters and visitors exploring the river, placing moorings beside the town’s waterfront parks and maritime landmarks.

Public launching points provide additional access for smaller boats. Great Marsh Park combines a boat launch with fishing piers, while Long Wharf Park adjoins the marina. The replica Choptank River Lighthouse gives this part of the waterfront a visible connection with the region’s navigation history.

These facilities make boating, fishing and shore visits central to the waterfront’s present character. For visiting crews, the marina is a base for time ashore as well as a berth on the river, linking recreational navigation with local businesses and public spaces.
