Beaufort Docks is one of the most popular stops for yachtsmen on the waterway. The marina is an all-transient facility with 98 berths, all of which are floating docks. Fuel is available in each slip. Beaufort is a strategic stop for boats cruising to the islands, as the Gulf Stream is usually within 30 miles of Beaufort.
I booked a slip for the weekend online and called 2 times to confirm and make sure I knew where to go. We drove down with our boat on Friday. Checked the website and said they close at 7. We arrived at 6:08 PM and no one was in the office or answered the phone. The office door said they were open until sunset, which is around 7:30 PM this time of year. I checked at the restaurant next door and they said to knock and keep calling. I did this for another 30 minutes and realized it wasn’t working. We ended up just driving our boat back home. So disappointed that there weren’t after hours instructions or someone answering the phone to let us know what to do. The man I spoke to never said they close early. This ruined my daughter’s boating birthday weekend.
Mike and his team were excellent. I had arrived by boat from Atlantic City and it was getting dark. The hotel I booked boasts a marina, but it doesn't have slips for its guests. Beaufort Docks welcomed me when most options had gone home for the night. Highly recommend them. Beaufort hospitality!
One of our favorites! Having a new crew this season I was curious to see how they would like Beaufort Town Docks. As suspected, they said “that is a must-stop” on every trip north and south.” The only thing that stinks is that we seldom stop for more than one night when moving the boat. This years heading south we’ll try to stay longer! ~Capt. David - M/Y Magnum Ride
We were meant to stay a night and ended up staying a week! Mike was extremely accommodating and provided us with great service. An excellent marina with everything you need. Downtown is right there and the marina has clean washroom facilities. The laundry is at the back of the general store just across the road, it's the best marina laundry I have ever used! Restaurant are a stones throw away. we look forward to our return trip later this year. Thank you for hosting us. - Dean & Alka Bromiley
THE best stop in NC!
