We stayed there last fall(November). Rate was 2.00 a ft. There are a number of good restaurants just north of the marina at River Walk. We had lunch at two of them and were quite happy. There is a car for resupply and the marina staff could not be more helpful.

Bermudiana has stayed at the Town Docks many times. We love it as we can walk down the street and see everything of interest. Lots of excellent restaurants .
People at the marina are very nice to the boaters.
The ramp up from the dock is SUPER STEEP at high tide !!!!
The marsh otters were coming aboard at night to sit on the back swim area of the power boats..they do their thing all over the boat…but..the marina is trying hard to stop them !
The current on the outside is fast. The docks are easy to get into and out of and the passengers will have no problems getting on and off the boat .
The marina car is great and you can go about a mile or so up the street to the grocery store and get anything you need.
The showers are clean and are great .
We can not say enough good things about this marina.

Great Location and marina with all the facilities. Courtesy car. Day Dock for dingys or boats as large as 45 foot, first come first serve, gotta be out by midnight. They are working on installing mooring balls in the near future. The current can be quick and tricky at times, the staff will always have you come in against the current. Listen to them, they are very helpful.

We enjoyed two nights at the Beaufort Town Marina in June of 2011. A great location with nice people and they even offer you a `courtesy car’ for grocery shopping. The docks get a little rocky when the wind is out of the S or SW ‘“ we were on an outside tie-up. The shore power on our dock kept tripping ‘“ we were at the end of the dock and it was totally full ‘“ not enough power to handle the load. Don’t miss taking a guided tour of the town ‘“ great history.
