One of the best marinas we have ever been to! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. We came in with some wind and the staff were ready to help us in, tie off and hook us up to shore power. John and Steve are very nice and welcoming. We were supposed to stay one night but with how comfortable we felt there, we stayed 3 nights instead. We can’t recommend Dowry Creek Marina enough.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Christmas at Dowry Marina. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel part of the marina family. Someone is always available to answer questions and help. The amenities included were just what we were looking for including restaurant on site, single restrooms with showers and towels to use, free laundry and supplies, courtesy car for provisioning, and pump out at dock. Very quiet. Highly recommend stopping here.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. We greatly appreciate their courtesy car and that they provide towels in the showers. Free laundry and nice restaurant are big pluses as well. There is nothing nearby but the courtesy car makes things in town accessible. We had nearby diesel mechanic Frank Smith of Sea Power (252 402 5800, not affiliated with the marina) come to check our Yanmar that seemed to be burning oil. He was very helpful. Only drawback would be if a big storm was blowing from the south as there is not much protection from that direction.

This marina is now on my must stay list. Quiet, excellent bath/shower facilities and the people are great. The new restaurant is worth a stop.

We stayed two nights 11/14 and 11/15. It was wonderful. Marina and fixed docks in excellent condition, lots of help on arrival. They have some slips that will allow in slip refueling, but you will need to ask. Bathrooms clean and spacious,…and they provide towels! Enjoyed lunch and dinner at the restaurant on-site “Salty Crab”. We will be back

When I called someone answered right away and confirmed our reservation. We were met by 2 very friendly men who helped bring our boat in and staid with us until we were all set up. The restaurant was friendly and the food was good. All around a good experience

We always enjoy our return to Dowry Creek! From their great dock hands, in-slip fueling, ship store, access to car for provisioning, free laundry plus clean individual showers with complimentary towels, it is always a treat. Plus the price per foot is hard to beat. Always worth the stop!

Excellent marina! Modern docks and facilities. Clean and large bathrooms and showers. Bath towls supplied by marina! Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful staff. Courtesy car with Food Lion and Walgreens nearby. Nice restaurant onsite with free live entertainment. Wish we had time to stay longer.

Great stay. I had to leave my boat for 14 days and they took great care of it and me. Staff and owners were friendly and accommodating. They gave me a ride to airport for a reasonable fee as there are no Ubers around. They have a courtesy car for provisioning. Most boats can fuel in slip. They also have an onsite bar and restaurant that was good. If you’re headed up or down the ICW and looking for a stop, try here!

This is a very convenient stop along the ICW. The marina crew is exceptional, friendly and very helpful. They also have some of the lowest prices on fuel. This is our second year in a row stopping at Dowrey Creek. Will be back.

Very friendly and accommodating Working hard to recover from the last two storms Restaurant was good We would go back

by Estelle C. - Verified user on Oct 17, 2023
Very hospitable people. Answered the radio and the phone. Directions to dock clear, extremely helpful at docking in a tight space. Brilliant setup for transient boaters - able to fuel and pump out in your slip. New restaurant very pleasant and will only get better. Did laundry (2 big washers and dryers) while we enjoyed supper. The best selection of beer on tap with many local brews. Jeff and his family clearly designed their Marina operations with the boater in mind. Our only suggestion is to increase lighting on the docks. Our best Marina experience on the ICW so far. Will definitely stop in on way back N.

Dowry Creek is a gem. It’s not the biggest nor flashiest marina you will ever go to but it is by far is the homiest and quaintest places you will visit. This is a family run business and they as well as the staff working there are friendly and warm focused on customer experiences. They are right off the ICW and not in the town but they do have loaner cars as well as a pool. You will not be disappointed if you go there! Update-this was our 2nd stay (October 2023)- comments from prior visit still hold true, but we can add that the restaurant is now open. Food & drink was good. Dowry also has some of the friendliest and service oriented staff around. They know how to make you feel welcomed. You will not be disappointed.
