Dandy Haven is a manmade harbor located on Back River in Hampton, Virginia. We have complete facilities for boat storage and repair, and a highly trained staff of Master and Certified technicians to meet your needs.
As a member of the marine industry, we support our trade associations (Virginia Association of Marine Industries, Tidewater Marine Trade Association, and the Association of Marine Industries) in their efforts to serve the Virginia boating community.
We understand that clean waterways enrich the boating experience for everyone, and therefore provide support to the community for volunteer activities.

We support Virginia's Clean Marina program with best management practices to protect our watershed.
