Beautiful new marina where there were shrimp docks, 2 new floating transient docks along with several docks worth of boat lifts. A new clubhouse with 3 immaculate shower/toilet rooms, as well as complimentary great laundry. The boaters lounge held a small kitchen and comfortable couches to enjoy the big TV, a nice respite in cold weather. Excellent dockmaster took good care of us, and really appreciated use of the courtesy van and plenty of shopping available in Moorehead City. The marina was nicely situated in the quiet part of Beaufort, but quick walk to downtown historic district and restaurants.

Only stayed one night, but enjoyed it, great deck crew and Samantha to welcome us, nice protected dock. Well located to explore the island, especially with the courtesy bikes (courtesy golf cart was enjoyed for couple quick items at the store). Sadly too cold for the pool or hot tub, but had a great lunch at Zacharys, and appreciated the well cared for marina.

Clean very well kept dock, only one shower for women & 1 men, but kept sparkling clean (with a pile of clean bathmats!) 1 washer/dryer in the woman's room, no lounge but we were able to go into the hotel if needed. Large grass parking area to store your truck & trailer while there. Dockmaster Abby took great care of us, we'll return.

We stayed aboard one week at the marina, a couple days in a slip (fixed dock) then moved over to to the transient floating dock. We were welcomed from driving in to launch our boat to our exit, filling up on gas & water enroute to explore Tampa Bay. All facilities were clean and cared for, used the showers, laundry and the boaters lounge upstairs. There are separate showers for daytrippers vs staying in the marina, those upstairs are modernized and prettier, but all had hot, adjustable water w good showerheads (just need soap dishes). The gates are open in the daytime but locked at night, we felt very safe. Easy walk over to the main Gulfport business district with great restaurants (especially O'Maddys), beautiful seafront with dinghy dock. The marina mooring balls are off there, would have loved to use them, but no powerboats allowed. Loved all the bird life in the marina, visited by a dolphin, herons & egrets, best marina we have ever visited!
