Meet the Dockmaster

Allie Stora is a Hampton native that joined the team in May of 2023. She was promoted to Dockmaster January 1, 2025. Her life-long passion for the water began in Hampton through the same environmental outreach groups and community events that the Docks at Downtown Hampton still proudly hosts today.

When you visit Downtown Hampton, you’ll find tree lined streets dotted with restaurants, pubs, art galleries, marinas, museums, and parks; it’s a vibrant community with picturesque views, a working waterfront, and year round events.

Additional Hampton River Marinas

The Hampton River and Sunset Creek offer several marina options, which include convenient permanent and transient dockage, marine services on site or within walking distance, marine supplies, restrooms, showers, and ice. Both pleasure boaters and those traveling around the Intracoastal Waterway find safe haven in the marinas dotting Hampton's sheltered harbor, and boaters do not have to pay a boat tax.  Hampton Roads harbor offers deep water slips and first-class amenities, and most boater needs are within walking distance.
