Mackeys Marina

Mackeys Marina, an Albermarle Loop member Marina, is on Kendrick Creek, a very scenic, quiet, and well protected location on the SW side of the Albermarle Sound ~ 8.5 miles S of Edenton. The entrance to Kendrick Creek is extremely well marked w a minimum depth of 7' @ the entrance becoming much deeper >= 15' further in. Mackeys Marina, boatyard, marine store, and the adjacent restaurant - "The Landing at Mackeys" which is usually open Thursday thru Sunday - are run by an extremely nice young couple Joe and Lydia. During a previous stay @ the Albermarle Plantation, some local boaters we met spoke very highly about the quality of marine services offered by Mackeys. Although Mackeys docks were 100% full they thankfully squeezed us in for 1 night. We had a great dinner at the Landing and a very peaceful night aboard so we would strongly recommend Mackeys if you are lucky enough to find space available there.

I have been a live-aboard resident here at Mackey's Marina for almost 5 years. The marina has everything you could want in a marina. Hot showers, waste pump out, gas, diesel, fresh water, trash disposal, deep water, kayaking, fishing, fantastic restaurant and bar, ship's store, fishing tackle, friendly, knowledgeable employees and the owners have created and maintained a wonderful "family" atmosphere about the place. I highly recommend this marina and encourage ICW travellers to take some time to stop in.

Wow, what a great little gem of a place! Has stuff to fish, items for the boat and a delicious restaurant! The folks are all so friendly and very welcoming! Glad we found such a great place!
