Shallowbag marina is lucky to have Harbormaster, Tim running the show. He runs it like he owns it (in a good way!)
Excellent approach instructions over the radio. Then he was at the dock to grab a line and get my boat settled in. He took the time to give me all the right local information including getting a rental car to get out and explore. They have good loaner bikes, too. Nice pool and clubhouse with a gym. I'd stay here again.

Our stay was awesome Tim the Dockmaster was awesome. He helped me get through the channel and walk me all the way up to the dock. What a great facility great pool great bathroom facilities. Very close to the city. They have rental bikes that you can use for free. They must stop.

Dockmaster,Tim Teeple was a Grandmaster in service! We had a wonderful time. Everything was first class and the pool, restaurant and bikes gave Shallowbag Bay Marina the perfect mix. We will be back!!

Fantastic stopover. Tim and Ian were terrific. Super close to everything yet very quiet and peaceful. I will definitely go back

We had a fabulous stay at Shallowbag Marina. Tim was absolutely incredible in giving clear instructions on how to safely get into the marina. He met us at our slip on a holiday and helped tie us off. Anything we needed he was quick to help out with. The facilities are great too - laundry, several showers, a GYM and a pool. The downtown is cute as well. Would stay again.

Nice clubhouse with good private bathrooms. Restaurant on site. Laundry available although one machine was problematic. Free pump out, which was appreciated.

Very helpful and competent dock master. Nice facilities with amenities close by. A little bit of a tricky approach with some surprising shallows at the head of the channel.

We loved Shallowbag Bay Marina for its amenities, proximity to town, grocery store, restaurants, and car rental but what makes this marina so great is dock master Tim. He goes above and beyond with communication and availability always with a smile. We’ve been cruising for four years and have not met a friendlier or more helpful dock master than Tim.

Amazing!! Loved Shallowbag Bay Marina and Manteo. Tim communicated with us throughout and was most helpful with docking and check-in. He was friendly and enthusiastic. Enjoyed the pool, clubhouse and Stripers restaurant. The showers were spotless. Will definitely be back!

Tim was awesome. Greated us upon arrival, helped with getting fuel and docking into our slip
Will be staying here more often.

Had a great time. The dock master was very helpful at arrival and entire stay, especially when we needed to stay an extra day due to weather. Although the fixed docks were not a problem for us, I could see where floating docks would be a plus for older visitors. Overall we had a great experience. Will visit again.

Outstanding visit. Tim, dockmaster, was exceptional. Constantly communicated prior our arrival, guide through the channel via radio, helped with docking and checked on us daily. Could not ask for friendlier or better service. All the facilities were good. Definitely on the revisit list

This was a great spot, but what really made the difference was Tim, the Dock Master. He took care of all of our needs, was entertaining and a genuinely nice guy. It really made for an enjoyable stay. We’ll be back.

Wow, what a great experience. Easy access marina with great amenities and staff. Management went way beyond expectations to help us find parts and a mechanic to fix an exhaust system issue.

Tim is the best dock master in the east coast! The wind was kicking up 15-20 knots and he artfully helped us get into our slip! He is also extremely friendly and full of local knowledge. A definite stopover and way better than the other marinas in the area! I would give him 10 stars!!!

Best Marina in Manteo, well protected, pool, ships store, bikes, Restaurant/Bar, all amenities', walking distance to town center. Dock Master Tim Teeple was great; he could not have been more hospitable, helpful, and knowledgeable about the waterways. Great experience, Thanks Tim!
by Steve G. on Jan 22, 2024
Only giving five stars because can't give ten! We planned to stay a couple nights but wound up staying a month. Great location, beautifully maintained, and Charles & Tim were over the top helpful and friendly! Clubhouse with gym and pool table so convenient, well protected from weather, and nice people all around! Loved our stay!❤️

Tim the dock master was awesome! Great help getting into the marina and to the slip. He also had all sorts of local knowledge too. The facilities are excellent too.

Dockmaster Tim is very helpful, and did a great job of guiding us in. Restaurants and stores are within walking distance.

If you’re in the outterbanks this is a Marina not to be missed. The most attentive staff we’ve ever run into. Ian, the dockhand, was fabulous and greeted us as soon as he saw us approach ready to grab lines and guide us into the slip, make sure power and water were hooked up as needed. He also checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, let us know close restaurants and helped us with getting gas even went out of his way to see if in slip fueling was possible. 10/10 would come back to Shallowbag if I’m the area again.

We decided to ride out a tropical storm at Shallowbag Bay Marina and Tim did an excellent job of communicating with us to make sure our boat was safe. The Marina is in an excellent location, with great facilities, but the experience with the staff made the Marina a place we will definitely visit again. Top choice for OBX vacation.

Tim, the dock master, was a great help and seemed to be everywhere all at the same time! Nice facilities and the pool was perfect on a hot day.

We stopped at Shallowbag Bay Marina for one afternoon/night on our journey down south. We were a little nervous navigating into the marina but Tim, the dockmaster, was extremely helpful and walked us through it step by step. Once we arrived at the dock we received first class service. The marina was super cute, well kept, people were very friendly and the pool was amazing to cool off after a long hot day of travel. Would highly recommended stopping here on your travels.
