Praise for Dowry Creek Marina, Belhaven, NC, AICW Statute Mile 131.5
Our thanks to Steve and Jane, and others – see comments below- for these kind words posted on AGLCA’s Forum for one of our longtime CRUISERS NET SPONSORS, Dowry Creek Marina. The marina is under new management and ownership by the Zeltner family who want to roll out the red carpet to transients, doing whatever you might need during your visit to this highly praised and transient friendly marina lying off the AICW/Pungo River north of Belhaven, NC.
Our thanks to Jeff Irwin (see comments below) for the two photos from Dowry Creek.
Just left Dowry Creek Marina in Belhaven, NC, this am. Had a great visit and wanted to let everyone know. It’s well run, has brand new docks, free laundry, courtesy car, pool, and protected water. Jeff does a great job and we will definitely be back.

Dowry Creek was God sent to us. We stopped for fuel and the dock help was great as the wind was not cooperating. After fueling my port battery decide to give it up. The owner let us stay on the fuel dock for the night then drove me to the Advance auto to get a new 8D battery, and helped me lift it out and the new one into position. It was clean and well kept and friendly.
Well family run business.

I was going to second this but was beaten to it. So I’ll “third” it. It’s the best run little marina we’ve been to and have stayed there the last couple times through that area.

I’ll second that. I have stayed there twice last year. Going north and than again on the south bound journey. Great people nice place. Will use it again.

We also want to add to the positive review of this marina. The new owners are slowly rebuilding the docks, including new electrical pedestals.All the freebies listed in other reviews are as stated. There is supposed to be an on-site restaurant opening up in summer 2019; the building it will be in looks wonderful. One of the reasons we liked it so much was the attention of Jeff and his crew. We ended up having an extra day there, due to weather, and we were safe and secure. This place will only get better as time passes.
