Very nice well organised dock

Fantastic Marina! I would definitely recommend. The amenities are wonderful- clean showers and bathrooms, very nice lounge and the laundry is free. They also have a courtesy car that you can use for 2 hours at a time. Wonderful docks - really great place! So happy we stayed. I would definitely return

Great place to stay, we liked it so much we extended our stay. The harbor master and his staff are great, nothing was too much trouble for them. The free laundry and ice are a great bonus, and the courtesy car was great. The captain's lounge was good place to sit a relax, especially when waiting for your laundry. We will defiantly return.

Homer Smith Docks and Marina was awesome. Friendly staff. They are working on some wiring upgrades. The laundry was free, showers were great, and the complimentary car was clean! Everything worked well. Definitely coming back!

We had a wonderful experience at this marina. Everything was fresh, clean and well cared for. The complimentary ice and water bottles was a thoughtful touch, and having a courtesy car available made getting around so convenient. The bathrooms were spotless and spacious as were the marina grounds. The dock owner and staff were polite and available. Walking distance to downtown Beaufort and their array of restaurants. The friendly amenities and attention to detail really made our stay enjoyable. We will definitely return!

Great place to stop. Friendly, helpful people, excellent facilities and 3 blocks from downtown Beaufort. Their courtesy car is also a massive bonus. Thank you for having us!!

One of the best marinas to stay at on the ICW! 3 free (new) washer and dryers. Clean restrooms. Courtesy mini-van you just sign out (and put some fuel in).
3 blocks from the front street of Beaufort. So - an easy walk to any of the great restaurants there.
Great dock hand service getting in and getting tied up. Great current protection (as in : none).

The facilities were very clean and well kept. Dock master was informative and quick to answer any questions we had.

I had nothing to complain about at Homer Smith Marina. The facilities were about as cared for and clean as a person could desire. We did our laundry, had showers, and watched the team USA soccer match in the comfort of the lounge. They also had a courtesy vehicle available, which could come in handy if you are in need of more heavy lifting or provisions run.

Place was extremely clean, dock master was extremely helpful and friendly. Most definitely going back.

Excellent facilities. Dan the Dockmaster was superb. I am a convert from the downtown Marina. Homer Smith, best in Beaufort.
by Michael T. - Verified user on Jul 01, 2026
What an outstanding marina - top notch - I had some questions on the approach and Dan was thorough and patient guiding me through. The help getting into the slip was much appreciated as there aren’t always knowledgeable dockhands around. An easy walk into town where there are lots of shops and restaurants. Free laundry and courtesy van were wonderful but the goose that lays the golden egg was the free ice! Will definitely return

The marina is pristine and so well maintained. Dan, the dockmaster, made it so easy for us to get in and out. We got fueled up on our slip. The town is nearby and walkable. Love this marina!

Update 06/21/2026 - Yes, they are consistently excellent! Thanks to the staff or being understanding on our change of schedule due to weather. The new "It's 5 o'clock Somewhere" restaurant next door at the Margaritaville hotel is a nice new option next to the marina.
Update 10/23/2025 - Another great stay at Homer Smith Docks. The staff was great as usual. Easy walk to town. Highly recommended!
May 13, 2025 - The NEW Homer Smith Docks & Marina is a great stop! We stayed here on our first Loop in 2019, and it was good, but in need of some love. Boy! Did they get Love! Completely rebuilt with new docks, a new office, and a boater's lounge. The staff is excellent. We appreciated the courtesy van, and FREE LAUNDRY! Easy in with a well-marked and dredged channel. This will be our regular stop in Beaufort, NC!

Well run marina with competent staff, free laundry and courtesy car. We enjoyed our stay there. Mind the channel coming in, it gets very shallow very quickly once outside.

About Homer Smith Docks and Marina
Homer Smith’s is the go-to Carteret County marina for guests and locals, alike. Located on Beaufort’s Towne Creek, we feature 30 slips, accommodating vessels up to 100 feet. More slips are to come, as we continually grow our facilities.
Our state-of-the-art marina caters to recreational boaters, sailors, fishing trollers, area residents and seasonal visitors. Our boat slip rental leasing options allow for brief visitors and those looking for a long-term stay. We’re proud to be serving everyone looking to be in Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, or just anywhere on Crystal Coast.
The docks that make up Homer Smith are constructued of a BMT ML-32 floating dock system built by Bellingham Marine, the largest dock manufacturer in the U.S. Our decking is made of Brazilian hardwood, also known as IPE. The main walkways are 10 foot wide, making them more stable than others in our area. Our docks are secured by 12-inch concrete piles and the finger piers will be 32-foot long with bumper piles at each end. The harbor lights are made with marina electrical equipment and supply all power needs for up to 100-foot motor yachts.
