The following exchange of information is copied from the American Great Loop Cruisers’ Association forum, an organization, by the way, we continue to HIGHLY recommend!
LOTS of good info here about marina facilities in the southern Norfolk, VA region!!!

I have recently purchased a Marine Trader 40 Sundeck and will begin my journey later in July from Charleston, SC to my home in Racine, WI. I need to be home in August for two weeks and am looking for a less expensive slip in a Marina near Norfolk. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

We stayed at Ocean Marine for two months in the fall of ’09 and enjoyed it immensely. It is in Portsmouth, very convenient and well run.

Try Cobb’s Marina, Norfolk, 757-588-5401 and Scott’s Creek Marina, Portsmouth, 757-399-2628. They are most likely to have the lowest transient prices. Both are listed in the Skipper Bob Marinas Guide.

Check out Rebel Marine. Really nice folks. Not too near downtown, but not far from the airport.They have a courtesy car for local shopping.

We stayed at Cobbs Marina last summer for three weeks and found them to be excellent. Close to restaurants, and shopping and buses for traveling into town.
Please be aware that if you choose to use Cobbs, when you enter the channel into little creek you are transitting a naval amphibious base and have to call channel 12 to request permission to transit the inlet. Turn right at the large orange buoys as these mark the perimeter of the base. Also you can refuel across the creek from Cobbs marina.
