The folks at Rocketts Landing have been hard at work getting Richmond’s only private marina ready for the 2009 boating season. The marina’s first stage includes 40 slips that span the first phase of Rocketts’ waterfront and accommodate boats up to 45 feet in length. Slips are currently available for lease and are scheduled to open in April.
Be among the first to dock your boat at Rocketts Landing. The 40 slips in our first section are now available for annual, seasonal and month-to-month leases,
with first priority going to Rocketts residents. Boaters may choose between
30 ft, 35 ft and 45 ft slips, each accommodating boats up to that length.
Plus, all leases include marina amenities such as water, marina sanitary pump-outs, restrooms and a Harbormaster. You’ll also have access to metered electrical hook-ups and, for the 2010 season, a fueling dock. We look forward to having you as part of a wonderful, inaugural boating season at Rocketts Landing.
For more information about our marina and to claim your spot on Rocketts’ waterfront, contact Jamie Grabill at 222-5011 ext. 4 or jamie.grabill@rockettsvillage.com
Check out the time-lapse video of the marina being put together.

I thought a marina would be cool, but I wonder how many people will lease slips at Rockett’s marina. A Times Dispatch article from awhile back had said around $3000 to $5000 a year if I remember. That’s way more expensive than the marina’s on the Chesapeake Bay. Can’t imagine they’ll fill all the slips at that cost. Hopefully when / if the city marina is built, the city’s marina will be less expensive.
The marina is a great idea and location for Richmond. Cost for 2010 is: if you sign up before the 15th of February you will receive a 20% discount off the rate, which would be $2880.00. After Feb 15th the cost would be $3600.00.
Slips can be had at Jordan Point Marina or Hopewell Yacht Club. Cheaper still are in Deltaville/Mathews and Callao.
Rocketts Landing Marina slips are way over priced. $3600 to rent a floating dock on that part of the James?
$300/month, paid a year up front, for a floating dock. No fueling station. No storage. Jordan point is only $1500. Marinas on beautiful stretches of the Chesapeake are much cheaper. Rocketts: You need to reconsider your price. The slips are built, cost sunk. At the right price, you should fill them and have a waiting list for the next phase. That price is not $3600 (30 ft) – I would guess at the discounted $2880 you did not get as many as you would like filled…maybe…$2880 is getting more reasonable. I believe closer $2,000 is the sweet spot.
