We had anchored for the night but when the weather got bad we went here and tied up to their outer dock after closing. Left a message saying we would settle up with them in the morning. We didn't use electric or water and they were super friendly and understanding. Gave us a discounted rate and we left there very thankful.

This is a fairly small marina.......I'm sure they experience a labor shortage like everyone........ but the people on staff were friendly enough. You should plan to cook on board. It's a rural setting for sure. Restrooms were clean. Small fuel dock, it appeared that only one vessel at a time for fuel fill up. After waiting a half hour we left and got fuel down the way. We would return for sure

We had read a lot of good reviews about the marina, unfortunately, our experience was not very pleasant. We had read about great customer service and help with lines, but we couldn't get anyone on the radio or on the phone. No one helped us with the lines either at arrival or departure! They were busy with their rental boats, I guess! And we were waked a lot until dark. Be aware of shallow water! With 2.5 ft under our keel and constant waking, we were nervous! It was too late in the day, or we would have gone elsewhere.

We stayed here for two days to wait out winds 30 gusting to 42. They warned us when we called ahead that the outside transient dock drops to 4' at low tide - and it did. Very nice staff. Not an ideal deeper draft overnight. Waterway Guide is incorrect - there is NO LAUNDRY (please change). Wifi didn't reliably reach the outer "L", and there were no bikes to lend (at least in January), but they did allow us to borrow a personal car to drive to Food Lion. 3/4 mile walk to a café/bar. No Pump out.

Made a planned stop based off of previous reviews . . . Book a slip, but was pleased that they put us on a T (actually an L) wall. Alex and his bride were there to catch our lines and get us situated. Great facilities, super clean/nice restrooms, showers and great hospitality . . . Arrived at high tide, 41' DeFever, 14' beam, 4.5' draft . . . Left at dead low tide and kicked up a little mud . . . Would have given a 4 star because of idiot boaters not following "No Wake" rules, but Alex sounded an air horn to slow them down . . . Definitely would return!

We stayed on a cool Sunday night. Easy to tie up on the outside dock. Wakes were minimal as almost all of the passersby slowed when they saw our red trawler. The docks are in very good shape, the restrooms/showers were absolutely spotless. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Courtesy bicycles available to go to a restaurant or grocery store. Fuel was a good price but we didn't need any. Our 40 feet was probably the max they can handle so call ahead to confirm if you're larger than 40 feet.

It's a small marina that has it all. Easy floating dock, great customer service, and the nicest showers we have seen yet.

The marina isn’t large and doesn’t have a restaurant or fancy amenities but they get five stars as we arrived late, after hours. They helped tie us up, then fuel up, and then put us back on the face dock for an early departure. Decent floating docks, service above and beyond, power and water available. What more can you ask for?
