Lovely little town! The finger docks really rocked side to side when walking.

Head a great stay, the harbor master Craig was very helpful. Despite or very windy visit to Morehead City, we were still able to see some of great things the city is doing on their waterfront. Great visit!

I've stopped here twice now, both during off-season (Late December and early February). The dock is very convenient to the ICW and reasonably priced. They have two functional showers that are behind code-locked doors. Restrooms have code locks but are left open and the public seems to use them. There are several restaurants and shops that are within close walking distance. I'm in a catamaran that has a 21 foot wide beam, so I don't fit into the 10 advertised slips, but they allow a side-tie to the last slip that can accommodate my beam. I'm not sure why, but the birds really seem to like that end of the dock, so it was a bit messy both times I stayed there. Both times I had rather late arrivals and early departures, so I don't think I've met the dockmaster in person, but he is very friendly and helpful on the phone. At "slip 11" the wifi signal is fairly weak, but I could get a tablet to connect when out in the cockpit. Speed was fair. Overall, it is a good place to get a nights rest when cruising down the ICW or staging to head out. I would stay there again.

A basic dock with typical commercial restrooms and showers. Everything was clean and very serviceable. I'd recommend to the city installing some coat hooks in the bathrooms but other than that, no complaints at all. Craig, the dock master, greeted us and gave us information about the town. He also confirmed what other people had said, when the current is running fast, this dock can be difficult to get into. It was slack tide when we got there so no troubles at all.

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 .

#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.
