Very cool boat launch, marina, RV park and general convenience store right off the river/Pamlico…read more On my first boat outing in the area we put in at a public launch just up the road. We rode the boat around and down to Washington then stopped by here on our return to the launch to drive home. It was getting to the end of the day with the air cooling down and the sun setting. This spot combined with the Blount's Creek that lets out through here made for a wonderfully peaceful and quiet setting. The docks were clean. There's a gas pump with extending hose line so you can fill your boat at the dock. Inside there's an expansive store with shirts, food, snacks, boat and camping supplies. Even tube, kayak and SUP rentals. But I would be remiss not to mention the funny and friendly staff serving up ice cream. It's not 31 flavors but I think most anyone can find something they like out of the 6 or so they have. Looking for a chill out to wrap up a day on the water? This is the place.

However when they took over they raised prices 25% for this very remote marina that has fixed docks and far from everything. So, they really need to match services to price and still keep the hometown feel of it. They're spending money on upgrades and we have high hopes. Great location on the River if far from town.

You can be 5 minutes away from hubs of commerce and activity and it looks like you are in the middle of nowhere. My brother had bought a boat and it was docked at the marina. I spent about 10 days here and had a fairly good time. There is a little store that sells wine and beer and snacky-type foods. A laundry with washers and dryers is in the clubhouse. Adjacent to the headquarters is a restaurant/bar (they didn't have their liquor license yet when I was there) where the food is decent, if it is still extant. Lots of dock..._lots_ of dock. The slip was almost as far away from the parking lot as you could get. The marina has wheeled carts that you can load your gear into to facilitate loading your boat. That helped, but I swear, it was like a quarter-mile round trip to return the buggies so other folks could use them. Unless you're a raving asshole and just leave them parked on the pier. I saw some of that. Helpful folks running the place. I had occasion to talk to them several times and they were friendly and helpful. No pretentiousness or aloofness. If you are in the area, toodle on over and check it out. It is quite a drive from New Bern proper, but if you are starved for recreation, you could do worse.

The action has been non-stop ever since then with brothers Chuck and Steve Tulevech co-owning and operating the business on a day-to-day basis. Originally from the New York area, the Tulevechs moved south in search of milder temperatures and better fishing. They found both in Beaufort and North Carolina's Crystal Coast as well as a fine place to operate a business and raise their families. We look forward to offering you excellent service and hospitality whenever you stop by the Town Creek Marina. You may also call us for more information.

They claimed damages had been documented last August but their protocol was to not notify boat owners. They also said no pictures were taken but that they would forward the documentation, which was never sent. The scratch is new and was not there since last August. They are also attempting to overcharge me for not meeting the $500 spend limit with incomplete records. I would say buyer beware if you're considering housing your boat there.

After a very brief email exchange with Portside Marina we were assured that all would be well. I sent owner Denard Harris a text on our way in the Beaufort Inlet confirming our docking assignment and checking for things like bathroom codes and WiFi passwords. After all I had no expectation of any dockside support arriving midday Thanksgiving Day. Instead, there was Denard's smiling face standing on the dock as we came alongside. Denard had take the initiative to identify restaurants open and then gave our crew of five a ride, saving us the effort of cooking for ourselves at the end of a challenging hop around Hatteras. The support and aid were exemplary. Absolutely everyone at Portside Marina is friendly and helpful. Facilities are pleasant and in good repair. There is nowhere I would rather stay in Morehead City or Beaufort. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Snuggled at the end of a commercial pier there is plenty of water for access to Portside Marina. Owner Dr. Denard Harris, his wife Kay, and their team provide one of the nicest and most welcoming facilities I have encountered. Delivery skippers encounter a lot of facilities. *grin* There are not a lot of slips so call ahead. The outer dock was damaged in recent storms and as of 1 May 2016 estimates are for completion of repairs in about six weeks. Note that the gas dock is alongside the western side of the launch well and the diesel dock is on the eastern side. The nominal diesel dock is very short but you can dock on either side of the tee dock and still reach your boat with the fuel hose. The staff here seem to have only two answers to questions: "Sure, I can help with that" and "I don't know - Denard will know how to help you." In our case we arrived at 4.15am for fuel (priority) and some minor repairs before heading back offshore. We got fuel when the marina opened. Denard suggested we move to Morehead City Docks (which he is under contract to the City to manage) where day dockage is free and is right next door to Russell's Yacht Yard where we could borrow a bosun's chair. That worked out beautifully for us. Good advice from Denard.
