Craig was so helpful sending instructions. This is our second time stay here and again it offered everything we needed from great restaurants to stores for minor part pickups. Thank you Morehead!

The dock master Craig is great!

Nice docks and bath house. Docking in any wind can be quite challenging with the current that comes thru .

Morehead City transient docks are nice docks with water and electricity. The showers and bathrooms are clean. Parking near by. Dockmaster and reservation can be reached by phone. 🏴‍☠️

It worked. It would be good to know that it’s unstaffed on Sundays so nobody will answer the radio with a slip assignment. There will just be a reserved sign and you take one.

We had a great stay at Morehead city transient docks. Craig was a big help guiding us in and tying us off. Lots of local eateries within walking distance.

Great facility! Grocery shopping within biking distance. Many restaurants nearby. Close to much of downtown, but far enough away to be quiet.

Very quiet this time of year. Thanks to Craig for assistance with docking . Didn't have time to explore the waterfront but will stop on way back.

We are a 47ft ketch. We draw 1.2meters. This was a very good spot to make repairs as there is an Ace Hardware with a workshop able to provide new hydraulic hoses to size. Craig was extremely helpful and fast to communicate giving us the codes to hot showers late in the evening Restaurants a couple of mins away. We had lost our steering so had no option but to just take a berth. Craig was so helpful giving us all the details of those who could help us.

+Good docks. +Clean facilities. +Good access to town and restaurants. + close to park (nice surroundings) - Wifi super in the Office, but not reaching the last docks.

This is a tricky spot to dock in high winds and current. The dock master, Craig, met us at the dock with extra hands to help us into our slip. Craig is very responsive and helpful. We were expecting high winds, but the local fishing boats who ignored the no wake zone, rocked us more than the winds. We had dinner at Souther Salt (a block away) - good food and friendly staff.

Dock master Craig was very helpful getting us doked, especially with the heavy current. Better to wait for slack tide!
