Report Review
4.5 stars. We love Manteo.
Would be 5 stars if we could have made contact with someone prior to arrival or if the dockmaster was onsite during posted hours to check in. Be that what it may, we got the slip we preferred and arrived without advance reservations. Was perfectly quiet and what we were hoping for.
For Mariners, the army corps of engineers maintains local hydrological reports to help with navigation. If you’ve got a 6’ draft like us, you will do some dredging on your way in and out of Manteo. Study the charts in advance against the survey reports and try to ignore the depth finder a bit. There’s deeper water to be found once you are at the dock.
Power pedestals and water connections are showing their marine age, but they’re still in working order.
