Wonderful staff who helped us tie up and connect to shore power. The bathhouses were safe and secure. Ice was reasonably priced. We will be back!

First time here but will definitely be back. Nice docks right in the heart of town. Great team. Easy access from ICW or ocean.

Great location and great young dockhands! We've been there many times before and the new management team (Sara and company) have done some upgrades. Speaking of which, it is time to upgrade the bathrooms that really need a refresh. It is a long walk to them but I don't see a solution to that one.

Beaufort town docks is usually a great place to dock for the night. However, this time it was not a great experience. Instead of being on a face stock as we always have been, we were put on the inside slip that was a little too small for our boat it was very tight to get in and out of. Then they docked a fishing boat right across from us that made it almost impossible for us to leave without them, leaving first. They told us not to worry as the fishing boat was leaving very early in the morning. We got ready to leave this morning and the fishing boat was not only not getting ready to leave, but nobody was even awake. Fortunately, I was able to get out with just a few feet to spare. I felt it was unnecessary to put that fishing boat across from us and to be told that they were leaving early in the morning when they had no plans on doing that.

Thank you for letting us know about your experience. I’m sorry the docking situation was difficult, especially since you’ve stayed with us before and had a better time.
We were almost at full capacity, which limited our options for placing everyone. That said, I understand your frustration with the tight slip. It’s also important that we have the correct LOA for each boat so we can assign the best available slip.
We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope we’ll have the chance to make your next stay a better one.by Terry R. - Verified user on Sep 28, 2026
Amazing stop for loopers. Beautiful quaint town that has a wonderful waterfront with plenty of shops and restaurants. Piggly Wiggly is 2 miles away if needed. Marina is exceptionally clean and managed very well. Excellent staff that takes care of any needs you may have.

They were great, dockmaster let us use their loaner vehicle and accomodated us for extra days while we needed to hide from some rough seas. Will be back on our way up again! Thank you.

The location is the best. The dockhands were super helpful in guiding us in/out-the slip. Restrooms/ showers could use a refresh but ok. Overall, it was a great stay!

Thanks for stopping in for the night! We’re always happy to have you back.by Kate B. - Verified user on Aug 27, 2026
Outstanding! The crew was fantastic….tied us up and got the electric hooked up…very professional nd friendly. We stayed here many times and always found it a great place to spend a couple of days with great restaurants and interesting historical places. The best part was the mini loaf of homemade coconut bread. Had a piece this morning with fresh blueberries. We’ll be back next week for a couple of days!

Beaufort NC town docks are a wonderful stop for a day or a month! The docks are well managed with communicative employees eager to help! The marina is located in the middle of the village of Beaufort and convenient to shops, provisions and excellent restaurants. We love to stay here!

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.
