Frequently Asked Questions About Boat Fueling at Hampton’s Marina in Woodbridge, VA
If you are heading out on the Potomac River and need to fuel up, Hampton’s Landing Marina in Woodbridge, Virginia, is one of the most convenient and well-equipped fueling stops on the water. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a regular boater on Neabsco Creek, here are the answers to the most common questions boaters ask about fueling up at our marina.
Does Hampton’s Landing Marina Offer Both Gas and Diesel Fuel?
Yes. Hampton’s Landing Marina provides both gasoline and diesel fuel for recreational and commercial vessels. Whether you are running an outboard motor, a sterndrive, or an inboard diesel engine, we have the fuel type you need dockside. No need to trailer your boat to a land-based gas station.
This is important for boaters who run diesel-powered cruisers or sportsfishing boats, as diesel fuel at the dock is not universally available at every marina on the Potomac. Having both options in a single location saves time and keeps your day on the water running smoothly.
Where Are the Fuel Pumps Located at the Marina?
The fuel dock at Hampton’s Landing Marina is located directly on the water at our facility at 16205 Neabsco Road in Woodbridge, Virginia. You can access the fuel dock by water, pulling up directly from Neabsco Creek without needing to leave your vessel. Signage on the approach from the creek makes the fuel dock easy to identify.
If it is your first visit, our marina amenities page provides an overview of the full facility layout, and you are always welcome to call ahead at 703-221-4915 so dock staff can assist you with your arrival.

We recommend calling ahead at 703-221-4915 to confirm current hours, particularly early in the season, on holidays, or if you are planning an early or late afternoon arrival. Seasonal hours may vary, so reaching out before your trip ensures you will not arrive at a closed fuel dock mid-cruise.
How Is Fuel Priced at Hampton’s Landing Marina?
Fuel pricing at the marina is clearly posted, so you know exactly what you are paying before you pump. Marina fuel prices reflect current wholesale fuel costs, delivery logistics, and the convenience of waterside service. These factors typically mean marina pricing runs slightly higher than land-based stations, but the time and convenience savings of fueling on the water are well worth it for most boaters.
