Earth Day: Pitching in (and picking up) for the betterment of our environment

We are taking part in today's Earth Day – and on every day – by continuing our stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay through the Maryland Clean Marinas Initiative.

Haven Harbour Marina is a proud certified Clean Marina, placing the surrounding environment's health as a top priority in our day-to-day operations.

This program, operated by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), offers marina and boatyard operators, as well as recreational boaters, the opportunity to participate in efforts that help protect Maryland's precious natural resources. These voluntarily adopted pollution prevention practices include safe sewage handling, stormwater management, waste containment and disposal, petroleum control, safe vessel maintenance environments and more.

The DNR has certified nearly 25 percent of Maryland’s estimated 600 marinas as either Clean Marinas or Clean Marina Partners, and it is our intention to add Haven Harbour South to the list in the near future.

Thanks are due to our slipholders, customers, fellow marinas and area mariners for placing the environment and Chesapeake Bay’s health first. Check out our daily green practices in detail at dnr.maryland.gov.

Here For You: Coffee and pastries served every Saturday and Sunday

Keurig coffee maker and K-Cup Pods, as well as tasty breakfast pastries, are now available to our slipholder and transient guest communities of both Haven Harbour Marina and Haven Harbour South every Saturday and Sunday morning throughout the remaining spring splash and coming boating season. Visit the marine store at either location for this complimentary service – and token of our appreciation.

Reminder: Drilling prohibited on Haven Harbour Marina, South piers and docks

This is a reminder that we do not allow slipholders to drill or place anything permanent on piers and docks at both Haven Harbour Marina and Haven Harbour South. If a slipholder should find the need for docksteps, shorepower cord tethers, fender hooks, etc., he or she is kindly asked to contact a member our yacht services management team or a dockmaster to arrange.

Once we understand your needs, we will complete this work for you. There may be an associated charge for this service and the necessary materials involved.

In the meantime, and again, please do not drill into our piers and docks. With questions and concerns, contact us at (410) 778-6697 or email@havenharbour.com.

DIYers will need to buy the $15 recycling bag from one of our marine stores and follow removal instructions in order to dispose of any removed shrinkwrap at our designated recycling areas. Boats larger than 35 feet may require two bags.
