Totally cool that you don't like the current President; I loathed the former President. Yet, I didn't go around saying things such as "F$&@ the President." That is in total poor taste. Plus, if you are trying to sell merchandise, it seems like you might want to be Switzerland. And maybe the loss of my business is made up by all those who support those who say things like "F$&@ the President," but why take that chance? I definitely will not suggest anyone visit this establishment.

This shop had a lovely window display with a sailboat that brought me into the store. There are so many cool things to check out. From skulls, to pirate lamps, and of course boats! If you have a nautical-theme anywhere in your home you will find a treasure to add to your collection! I found the blue sailboat which I fell in love with before I even walked into the store. It was $49, which I thought was a little pricey. But the painting detail was amazing and I loved the colors of blue and green. Plus it was the day before my birthday so I bought myself a gift lol! And it looks great on my home! If you're ever in the New Bern area you must stop by and check out The Boathouse. Even if you don't find something to purchase you will enjoy browsing all of the items in the store!

If anything nautical is your passion then this store is a must-see. It has everything you need to…read moredecorate your den, or your boat, or even your office, with nautical inspired gifts. They have hats, t-shirts, build-your-own ships in a bottle, signal flags, nautical charts, throw pillows and more. My favorite was the colored glass prisms used to bring light onto the lower decks of boats. I had only seen them in blue, but the Boathouse had several other colors. The old nautical charts are interesting as well, and make you appreciate the old-school way of charting the seas. Once you've finished relaxing or fishing on your boat tour, then stop by here to recapture the moment.

When you enter in one section of the building you think you've seen it all. But here it's like they slowly expanded by adding segments of neighboring buildings and coming up with something hella dope to shove in the new spot. To start with I was perplexed by the broad selection of colorific ukuleles positioned next to a litany of hats. Can anyone say Instagram-worthy gear? Somebody told these guys that ukuleles and patch hats were in, so they jumped on the bandwagon. Slide to the back and whada we got here? Longboards. You tryna cruise down a mountain pass wearing a 3-percenter hat playing Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" on a ukulele and somehow drinking Ocean Spray for TikTok likes? YUP! Right here; come getcho contradictions. And after a long day of sidewalk surfing, find yourself right back here at the BAR taking in the scenic views of kayaks strung from the rafters (there's a pun there I just know it) and dreamy tents on high. Wait is that a flannel? Need! Or maybe you're too beat from your hike. Sleep in and drop by for a nitro and double down on the hang-ten. Gnarly, brother! This shop is righteous!

I will definitely have to bring a friend and come back for that. The very nice lady I spoke to that works there said it keeps the customers around for a bit longer lol.. pretty smart plan if you ask me! I walked further into the store and they have all kinds of clothing and things for the person that enjoys the outdoors.. prices were not bad at all and with sale going on made it even better. I look forward to coming back and spending more time. The life is good store is right next door too and attached inside to this store..

An old time hardware store is not like a big box hardware store, like the place that rhymes with Dome Stepo. This place has the items that you need for your project except they don't sell lumber (that I saw anyway). The other parts of the store had some great crafty items from both local, from near local places in North Carolina and also globally. I was truly blown away.

There were a couple of pups near the counter, residents of the facility, so if you don't like K9's or are afraid that they'll hump your ankles while you're browsing the wares, you should probably wait outside while everyone else has fun in this store. There is an upstairs, up the stairs, and it's mostly horse related stuff and not in my size. We ended up walking out (after paying) with a few things that we couldn't live without.
