Nice friendly place with exception of several resident woman who have large dogs off leash right at the docks. One large brown dog charged me from 35-40 yards away at full speed barking, hair on back raised, and continued to bark viciously one foot from me until the owner could catch up. Scared the hell out of me. When I asked to leash the dogs, they claimed they did not have to in spite of local ordinance requiring all dogs on leashes. One woman claimed she was a permanent resident and only had to have under “voice control”. Suggested she read Manteo town ordinance 6-35, the towns leash law. Made the stay quite unpleasant.
Great place. Friendly and kind. Prompt launch service. Classic boat yard, family owned and they treat you like family.
They should disclose that they will put you on a mooring OUTSIDE THE BREAKWATER in northwest winds where your boat will pitch up and down over 3-4 foot waves. We left and picked up a town mooring after an hour. After reserving a mooring four months earlier, and paying $70 for it and told they have none left inside the breakwater at 4pm is a joke. Ran out of four letter words to describe this business.
