The marina at The Wharf in Washington DC represents a significant maritime component of the Southwest Waterfront's redevelopment, featuring 450 slips along the Washington Channel. The modern marina accommodates vessels ranging from small recreational boats to larger yachts, serving both permanent residents and transient boaters. Completed as part of The Wharf's comprehensive development project, the marina includes state-of-the-art docking facilities, full utility connections, and upgraded safety features. The facility maintains deep-water access via the Washington Channel, connecting to the Potomac River and providing year-round berthing for recreational vessels. The marina's construction incorporated sustainable design elements and enhanced public access to the waterfront through an integrated system of piers and promenades. This maritime infrastructure continues the site's historic role as a center of Washington's waterfront activity, dating back to the city's earliest days as a port.
