Great location and great facilities.
by Dean C. - Verified user on Oct 26, 2023
This stop has to be timed with slack tide. Town docks are getting a lot of bird droppings build up. The bathroom locks are no longer working so safety can be an issue as public can access after hours and it is showing as to being clean. Craig ( dock master ) is always quick to confirm dock request and following up to make sure we are all set . The dockage rates here are great .

Pleasant stay. Clean bathrooms & showers. Downtown morehead city is beautiful.
by David B. - Verified user on Aug 29, 2023
#3Our one night stay at the Morehead City Trans Docks would have been better if the strong SSW wind hadn't turned the water into a washing machine. When we could not stand the constant rock and roll any longer at 3am, we were fortunate to find that the empty slip next to ours hadn't been claimed so we turned our boat 90 degrees to the west and tied up using both slips, numbers 3 and 4. This allowed our houseboat to rock fore and aft instead of side to side and we were able to finally get some rest. We had reserved our slip for two nights but as the wind forecast called for more of the same, as soon as it was daylight, we went back to Radio Island and put the boat back on her trailer and left for Fayetteville.
If the wind had been from any other direction, from WNW to SSE, our rating would be 5 stars for the facility and location.

by Snodie M. - Verified user on Jun 29, 2023
enjoyable stay, we had planned on staying a week but the weather didn't cooperate. This would have been the second year in a row that we have picked this merina. The dock master was excellent as always with answering questions(top reason for picking this merina). Now the cons for this stay. We stayed Saturday,Sunday,part of Monday we never could get the wifi to pick up, which wasn't a big deal,we didn't even say anything about it. The weather we could have delta with but to be a paying customer and have so many inconsiderate locals that are staying on sailboats pulling there dinghies up on the docks for people to walk around and trip over was utterly ridiculous. I'm a pretty laid back person but I can't express enough the uneasy feeling this place gave us this year.

Fishing boats cause early morning wakes, a neighbor had a fender break off due to wakes, otherwise great.
by Nelson E. - Verified user on May 30, 2023
Craig and his staff were awesome helping us get docked. Loved the floating docks. Nor’easter blew in and it was rough in the marina. Also, the large fishing boats leave between 4-6 am in the morning and their wake rocks the boats in the marina.
Only compliant; restroom / showers are not exclusive to the marina boaters, but are for the public use as well. Restrooms were not cleaned over the holiday weekend. If they were, the didn’t stay clean because of the public using them.

by Chris E. on Apr 20, 2023
I can't say enough about the Dockmaster. We ended up stranded here with an engine problem. We needed to extend our stay & Craig worked with us. I ordered a part and Craig (Dockmaster) went way above and beyond making sure that the part was delivered to the Rec. Center. When it arrived, he brought it right to our boat. A+
by Jim B. - Verified user on Mar 24, 2023
Super people. decent floating docks. There is strong WiFi (one listing I read said no WiFi). Clean showers and restrooms very close. Close to many restaurants. But a pretty long bike ride to grocery store. Longer to the ABC Beverage location. Not too bike friendly roads.
Couple negatives: Can get waked or wind driven waves from SW. Docks open to public incursion so practice normal security. A laundry would be a great addition.
Would stay again.

Simple docks with limited facilities. The restrooms were clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Can be tough to get in when the current is running.

We stayed over a week to repair our props and wait out bad weather. We drove home to see family and Craig, the Dockmaster kept and eye on our boat for us. He provided outstanding customer service and was always available to help. The docks are floating and a short walk to all the downtown restaurants and bars. The marina is exposed to the southwest, so be careful in those winds. You will enjoy your stay.

Great location and dockmaster Craig was extremely helpful and responsive. We had to adjust our reservation a few times due to mechanical and weather issues, and he always got right back to us and even offered to come down to the dock to lend us a hand if needed on a holiday weekend.

The dock master is amazingly helpful. The current can be bad.
by Gary L. - Verified user on Mar 28, 2022
Older facility but very convenient for town. Time the currents as they can be swift. No weekend Dockhands but Craig, the full time weekday dockmaster offered to drive in to meet us. We declined. He then alerted another vessel who was staying to keep an eye out for us. They met us and helped with the lines which was most helpful since winds were at 20 mph at our bow and there was a one knot opposing current. Lots of nearby restaurants and very convenient for walking the dog since the slips back right up on an area of lawn.

Catamarans are on exterior dock 11. You need a extra long powercord to conect to pole dock 9/10. Dockage can be difficult with SW winds and current. So be carefull and call ahead for help if small crew. Wifi was not working! Dockmaster Michael was helpfull and friendly.

The dockmaster was very helpful and pleasantly friendly. The town was great with plenty of options for eating and supplying the boat with provisions. I plan on making this one of my regular stops. Unusual strong SW wind (30 mph) drove high waves broadside and made it difficult to get on/off the boat. Not the normal condition.

Great location with easy walk to restaurants/businesses on the boardwalk. My boat is a catamaran with 21 foot beam so there is only one slip (slip11) available for this width. This slip has no dedicated power pedestal so you need a long power cord to reach the one for slip 10 (assuming that it is not already occupied/in use). Bath facilities were average and typical for a public dock. Could not receive wi-fi signal from our slip.
by Darlene S. - Verified user on Jul 05, 2021
This year much different than last. No staff on docks. Another boat in our slip that we had to ask and wait for them to move. Restrooms are shared with public and it was a special event so long lines. Showers are locked but have no head.

Lee the dockmaster was the most friendly, helping, efficient dock-master I have ever experienced! Requested a reservation on Dockwa got an immediate reply. Lee offered all the information we needed to know about the tides/approach and let us choose our slip! Mike the dock hand just as friendly. Have never had a more friendly welcome to a city dock! We checked out Tight Lines Brewery and Rudy Duck both excellent places to visit. We had a pleasant one day/overnight visit in Morehead City and loved the local feel/touch. Hate the big mega marinas with owner attitudes and big fee's, love the small town local approach they do here and we will definitely stop here again!

Lee, the Dockmaster, was wonderful! He assisted us with reservation process through DockWa which was very easy. He offered to greet us and handle our lines, much appreciated since it was very windy that day. The map of the area and the recommended cab company phone number (which we used) were very helpful. He sent us off by helping us with our lines upon departure. We really appreciated Lee's calm, service oriented way of doing business and highly recommend him especially as well as the well-maintained and convenient Transient Dock facilities to anyone passing through Morehead City.

We originally had a 4 day reservation until the weather changed and we were hit with extended gale conditions. Our 4 day stay was extended to over 2 weeks. During this stressful time for us as we were running against date restrictions, Lee was most accommodating. Lee went as far as to keep a very watchful eye on our boat during the high winds when we were called out of town for a few days. He stayed in regular text communication to calm any concerns we had. This was not our first visit to the transient dock and will not be our last. Lee makes you feel so welcome, like a welcome friend coming for a visit. This rating needs extra stars * * *

Although the Marina should have been aware of our draft, 5’8”, when we docked at high tide we showed 1.7’ under the keel while the tide was falling. In the morning we showed 0.7’ under the keel and falling. When we backed out of the slip we had .04’. Had we not left earlier than planned we would have been stuck in the slip for several hours.

I apologize for your inconvenience, we have had no issues with low tide depth having had boats with 6 ft drafts in that slip recently but again I'm sorry. Leeby Jay D. - Verified user on Apr 18, 2021

Wonderful stay to wait out gale. Quite exposed to the west and we were bouncing against the dock. Dockmaster Lee is wonderful. Gave us a map of town that he had created. He insisted that we call us before departure which was at 730am so he could help us get off the docks. The first Saturday in December is the boat Christmas parade which we were able to enjoy. It seemed like the whole town was out.

Docks are better than most city facilities that we've visited up and down the east coast...just watch the current. What sets this above the rest though is the staff...in particular the dockmaster, Lee Everett. He went well above any I have ever seen and not only made sure that we had everything that we needed but went way above the norm in assisting us in a dental emergency. He is both a great dockmaster, and a great ambassador for the town of Morehead City.

Thank you very much Edward for the kind words. Hoping the remainder of your journey is safe & troublefree . Hope to see you again sometime. Take care, Leeby Skip G. - Verified user on Oct 07, 2020
We were towed here, as we'd had an engine part fail and could not motor.
At the time, it was entirely empty. There have been occasional, brief, catamarans docking on the opposing side of the finger, and we've made some new cruising friends as a result.
Water and electricity are included in the economical rates. The bathrooms and separate showers (men/women, unisex, respectively) are sparkling clean.
Showers are compact, with handicap bars and folding seats, along with a control to allow fixed, overhead (typical shower arrangement) or hand-held 'telephone' style sprayer.
We'll be sure to use them again on our next visit!

The great thing about MHC docks is the personal attention you get from the Dock Master, Lee. The slips are excellent with wide finger piers and floating docks. Fantastic water pressure. Excellent eating establishments are right along the waterfront just a short walk from your boat. I always feel safe here.

Every part of my visit from booking, docking, facilities, interaction with the Dock Master was pleasant, professional, and relaxing. I especially appreciate the personal touch and time allowed me from the Dock Master. He went out of his way to make sure every part of my stay was worth my time & money. I received much more than I expected!

Strong current parallel to dock. Very shallow on shore end of docks (<3ft). Nice park by docks. Limited amperage on power pedestal breakers for heavy usage boats. Dockmaster very helpful.

Very nice friendly dock master, bathroom and showers nice and close to dock, the shower curtain in men’s room needs to be replaced. Close to restaurants and marine store which was nice as well. Boat was rocking a lot with the wind pointing right at it but that was just the weather.

Very difficult place to dock with 2knot current running perpendicular to the floating docks. Wait for slack water, and possibly local volunteers will help with lines. Power boxes were damaged, with only 1 screw holding in the 30 & 50 amp sockets. The 30 amp breaker kept tripping at 22 amps, so we used one side of our 50 amp splitter to get the full 30. Close to expensive and noisy restaurants (on a Tuesday).
Marina Response:
Robert, i apologize for the electrical issues you had and thank you for bringing it to my attention. We had that corrected yesterday. If you should stay with us again and need help tieing up, call me and will be glad to come help. As for the restaurants, again i apologize if they were not to your liking but i have no control over them. Hope you will consider staying with us again. Thank you for your time.

Morehead City Transient Docks was very good to us. We stayed there well over a month as live-aboards on our way south. The dock master, Lee, was very kind and helpful. The location was great as it was a short walk from many restaurants and several parks. The bathrooms were convenient and clean. We enjoyed our time at the marina and the area.

Floating docks are in good shape and pricing is good.
Dockmaster Lee is friendly and accomodating, but is not very experienced. We have a cat, and as such we were put on the E end face dock.This dock is very shallow at low tide near the seawall, so we should have gone bow in toward the wall, but he told us incorrectly it did not matter, leading to our rudders sitting on the bottom at low tide. Fortunately they have a skeg to protect them. We would be fine bow in as low water depth was 7'+ at other end of dock.
Location is excellent for access to restaurants and Morehead City waterfront attractions. Power, water and Wifi access is good and restrooms/showers are not far away as there are only 10 slips. No laundry facilities or ice at office. The park onshore has Sat evening concerts (ending at 8:30pm) in the summertime - easy to watch from on board.
Marked down from 5 stars due to lack of full facilities and lack of knowledge of dockmaster putting us on the bottom.

The only negative review I would have is that I came in one afternoon and another boat took my slip and moved my reserved sign off my slip.
