Good and pleasant dock help (Olivia). A 2-3 knot current with an easy approach. Dock hands are very helpful. We overnighted on the face dock which are fixed-3 foot tide.
Dinner,
My only complaint has nothing to do with the marina. The restaurant has gone downhill. My guess is they have a new chef. It was prime rib ordered medium rare and arrived medium well. Then got chicken parmigiana.
Wheelchair accessible elevator,
There aren't any showers, but I didn't find that to be an issue. We had a really good experience here. The staff was super friendly and helpful and really went out of their way for us. The restaurant was great and you are a short dinghy ride to town on the other side of the canal. No showers, laundry or grocery nearby.
Does Schaefer's Canal House have a kids menu?

Great watching canal traffic. Be aware there are no showers or local stores. Current runs strong up to 2.5 knots. Good spot for waiting on the current and getting a great meal at the restaurant. Dock hands were great and very helpful.

(Olivia Marro, Leah Stubbs, Scott Seisler) Schaefer's is without question your #1 way point when transiting the C&D Canal. Staff was great - and knowledgeable of local conditions and setting lines for the 3+ foot tide swings. Restaurant next to dock was excellent.
Nice folks running the docks (inc their staff). However not a marina - mainly dockage for restaurant & bar (which we found convenient). Therefore, no dock restrooms or showers (bathrooms at restaurant). No stores of any kind nearby, although Steve offered to have staff give us a ride to a grocery store. The high outside dock in front of the restaurant prohibited us from getting on and off of the boat at low tide. The boat traffic both large and small, rocked us all night long.There is no bath house, so that is certainly a “con”.
Good food & drink, with easy access. We docked right along-side parallel to the canal. Easy access to water hose and electric hookup. The only draw-back is that there are no showers. Even a cold water outside rinse off shower would have been nice.
Staff wear masks,
The restaurant had a live band and the food was excellent. Very pleasant stay and great stop between Cape May and Annapolis. If a floating dock is preferred, the marina will accommodate. The available amenities of the docks, which are located outside of a restaurant and bar, are noted on the Snag-A-Slip profile. The marina does offer restrooms, but a bath house is not an available amenity. While Schaefer's Canal House is an awesome marina, they also have an amazing bar and restaurant attached to it that second to none.
This Maryland Restaurant Right On The Canal Is The Definition Of Dinner With A View
There are no shower facilities and the bathrooms are serviceable. Please note fuel dock is being renovating and will not be available until May. You’ve probably dined at a beach side restaurant, or perhaps a lake side restaurant, but how about canal side? You can do just that at this eatery in Maryland.
Very good prices at the dock and restaurant. Dockmaster and crew were excellent in meeting all our needs. Location much quieter than Chesapeake Inn.
Will be using the Marina on my return trip. Free docks on opposite shore were silted in. One is exposed to canal but very little canal traffic.
Always awkward if seen as a complainer. Tom was expert on getting us secured in swift currents. On site restaurant very convenient. Convenient spot to stop with a restaurant at your door.
Very friendly and competent Dock Master, Steve, guided us right into fuel dock and then around to out spot on the bulkhead. Despite passing ships, there was very little rocking from wakes. Restaurant was good and steps from the boat. The dock hands were excellent. Got tied up quickly and efficiently in the current.
And cracking jokes the whole time. We never encountered such a helpful friendly and funny dockside assistance Restaurant was very good along with the staff. And fun watching all the canal traffic. Definitely would come back.
Note that the dock has no cleats to which you can tie, you'll need to throw a clove hitch or something around the pilings. The dock hands are quite good about helping with line handling. Steven the Dock Master was amazing. He's very knowledgeable and even washed the water marks and filled our fenders when we got fuel. Passed out leaflets with all kind of info.
Nice people and the dock hands do a great job. I recommend using this marina when passing thru the C & D Canal. On our way from Cape May to Baltimore.
