About Rod 'N' Reel Marina West
Offering first-class facilities and do-it-yourself capabilities that any boater will truly appreciate, the Rod 'N' Reel Marina West is a Chesapeake Beach landmark. Built in the 1950s by Captain Buddy Kellam, the marina was originally known as Fishing Creek Landings Marina. Everything has been refurbished and you will enjoy completely new bulkheads, landscaping, piers and utilities. Our marina can only accommodate vessels with a draft up to 4.5 feet.
