Menu for Schaefer's Canal House in Chesapeake City, MD
Table Of Content
They are able to run this top notch facility because of the knowledgable & friendly deckhands. (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. Not sure if there was a 'go fast' boat convention in town, but the exhaust noise from noon 'til dark was really ridiculous. The high outside dock in front of the restaurant prohibited us from getting on and off of the boat at low tide.
For Boaters
Dock guy, Steve, carefully made sure we were tied with long spring lines to handle the tide. This is a great place to stay. Lively and fun but also quiet and calm at night. Restaurant is good and convenient. Currents not a significant issue when taken bow first.
Wheelchair accessible entrance,
Be prepared and time your canal transit and docking based on tides. Check AIS for commercial traffic before departing the dock. 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.
Wheelchair accessible seating,
Lots of knocking throughout the night. If you’re looking for a fun spot to grab a bite and drink this is the place. If looking for a quiet night of sleep it’s not the best.
The boat traffic both large and small, rocked us all night long.There is no bath house, so that is certainly a “con”. The restaurant was the only real bright spot for this location. We arrived late but they stuck around to help us tie up and made suggestions for the best fendering arrangements. Although we were tied on the river face dock we had no wake issues all night.
Staff wear masks,
Great watching canal traffic. Be aware there are no showers or local stores. Current runs strong up to 2.5 knots.

Nice location with the restaurant and the dockmaster hours were very convenient for our 5p arrival. Only suggestion is to add showers to the facility. Please provide your ETA, if you will be needing fuel, and direction of approach in the Notes section at checkout. Note that the marina has both fixed and floating docks on site, however the floating docks do not offer shore power. A band was playing, dinner was being served along the docks, and after a quick shower on board, dinner on the dock was fantastic! The band continued after we went back on board, and it added to our cocktails on the flybridge.
Strong currents can be expected. We really enjoyed the bar and restaurant. I would definitely stay there again. Nice people and the dock hands do a great job. I recommend using this marina when passing thru the C & D Canal.
The menu for Schaefer's Canal House may have changed since the last user update. Sirved does not guarantee prices or the availability of menu items. Dock crew were very accommodating.
Since the main dockage is along a fixed dock it's fairly easy to pull up and the dockmaster is very helpful and friendly. I ate at the restaurant (nothing else around) the food is good. There aren't any showers, but I didn't find that to be an issue.
Great location midpoint on the C&D canal. While Schaefer's Canal House is an awesome marina, they also have an amazing bar and restaurant attached to it that second to none. During the season, you will find live music and events at The Lighthouse Bar on site. Additionally, the restaurant has beautiful deck seating that overlooks the water, with both indoor and outdoor dining options available.
