LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm a liveaboard on a 60' Powerboat. I bought my slip a couple of years ago after careful consideration. It has a well-protected harbor, floating docks in A1 condition, a fantastic staff and a great location. Just around the corner from the Live Oak Amphitheatre, The Wilson Center and Thalian Hall which regularly feature top-notch national entertainment. A few steps in any direction will get you to great restaurants, fun bars and all the essentials like the post office, UPS, banks, retail and provisions. Whether you are looking for a new place to permanently throw your lines or just a few days away from home, this is the place.

There is no way to say enough good things about the Port City Marina and the guys that work there. Lanier, Taylor and Max are all awesome people and we will miss them tremendously. They did their very best to always help us with anything we needed, maintained the marina at the upmost professional level and were just great to work with during our entire prolonged stay. I only hope to run into marina staff half as good as these great guys during our future travels. Thank you gentlemen!!! - Dwayne & Yuling

Nice facility, great staff, excellent location

I would have given it a 5 star but was pretty unhappy with the fact that Dockwa said a transient price of $2.50 per foot per night during the week and we were charged $4.00. They blamed it on Dockwa on not keeping the info up to date, but my issue was how do you increase a price 60% from 6 months ago? It is disappointing because we love that marina and area for a trip but now what used to cost $92.50 a night is now $148.00 per night. Big difference. Rick Lappine My Brown Eyed Girl

EXCELLENT 4-day visit with 7 boats from our Southport Sailing and Boat Club (SSBC). Taylor the dock master went out of his way to get all of our SSBC boats together on B dock. We'll definitely be back again!
