We arrived early and the Marina and dockhands were readily aviailable. Easy to book my vessel and looking forward to returning. Many thanks from Boat Drinks.

The location of this marina is its selling point but what really makes this marina special is the kind and dedicated staff. The new management is wonderful and the dockhands truly go out of their way to make sure that the marina guests are taken care of. We look forward to our return and are hoping for a new bath house next time!

Jacob and his crew provided us with exceptional service during the Big Rock Tournament. We look forward to our next stay at Beaufort Docks and always highly recommend the facility to anyone passing through.

Wow! We had a fantastic first stay at the Beaufort Town Docks, and we're especially grateful for the great dockmasters. As new sailors, we really appreciated how helpful and encouraging the team was in getting our boat in and out of the slip despite the tricky currents and rain.
The location is perfect! We enjoyed live music right from our slip and loved being able to walk to all the shops and restaurants. We can't wait to come back!

We've been staying at Beaufort Town Docks for 40 years; this was our first time under new F3 management; it was a good experience. New staff are courteous and competent; we'll be back.

Fine marina right on the downtown Boardwalk. I enjoyed biking around town to see the beautiful southern architecture. The Marina crew was very helpful. Docks and utilities in great shape.

Docking team is fabulous! Directed us right into tight slip and helped us again when we departed. Provided great information on local activities and restaurants.

Terrific marina and best fuel price we have seen so far past week. Great help help with fuel ( in slip ) and docking. Pump out area occupied by big sailing vessel and just wish we could have pumped out. Recommend marina but if you need to pump out I would call them on way and ask.

It was a Sunday and most of the town was closed.

Great location for access to downtown restaurants, shops, ice cream, etc. Saturday morning market a few blocks away and we awoke to a marching band playing "Anchors Aweigh" for the start of the 5K run.
If you're looking for entertainment this is a great stop. Not so easy to get marine parts or service close by, but it's a tourist stop.
The dockhands were first class and very helpful. Watch out for the ripping currents and try to time your arrival and departure with the slack tide/current.

Had a great overnight stay at the Town Docks. Staff was extremely helpful from docking assistance to offering a loaner car to shop for supplies. Thank you Sarah and Payton. Looking forward to staying there again in the fall!

Amazing staff, lovely town. Very easy to get in and out from offshore passage!
Marina Response:
Thanks for the awesome review! We’re thrilled our staff passed inspection and that you escaped the offshore passage without needing a pirate map or rescue flare. Come back anytime — the town will be waiting!by Patrick C. - Verified user on May 11, 2026

New management is making improvements. Dock staff is very helpful. Fuel was not available but referral to a neighboring facility solved that problem. Restrooms remain crude. But overall, a good experience. We'll be back and look forward to new management's continued progress.
Marina Response:
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear our dock staff made a positive impression and that the fuel situation was resolved with help from a neighboring facility—that’s exactly the kind of teamwork we aim for.
We also appreciate your honest feedback about the restrooms. Improving those facilities is a priority for our new management team, and updates are already in the works.
It’s great to know you had an overall good visit, and we truly appreciate your support as we continue making improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back soon and showing you the progress firsthand.About Beaufort Town Docks
Beaufort Town Docks is one of the most popular stops for cruisers and sailors traveling the Intracoastal Waterway. This all-transient marina features 42 floating docks accommodating vessels up to 55 feet, along with over 850 linear feet of side-tie dockage for vessels up to 250 feet. Every slip offers fuel service directly at the dock for maximum convenience. Ideally positioned for coastal cruising, Beaufort serves as a strategic gateway to the islands, with the Gulf Stream typically just 30 miles offshore—making it an excellent stop for both short stays and offshore passage planning. No marina is closer to the inlet or the exceptional dining, shopping, and attractions of historic downtown Beaufort.
