What an absolute pleasure, from the facility to the staff. Everyone was accommodating and helpful. The facility had so many amenities and was clean. Can't say enough and can't recommend highly enough!

Exceptional marina you really need to visit at least once on your travels! Matt was amazing at tie up, explained the amenities of the marina, and made us feel welcome. Dan shared his local and sailing knowledge which really was valuable to us. The docks are wide, clean, and everything works. The showers are clean and beautiful. The free laundry is in real washers and dryers. There is a restaurant next door, and groceries in town. And, no kidding, they have a loaner car you can sign up and borrow. This was such a great environment that allowed us visit with neighbors and get caught up on boat stuff. We will definitely be back.

I love the marina and town. We always stop here going north and south.

Amazing marina! Staff was very accommodating for a last minute extended stay in a transient slip & very helpful for local info. Having a marina car available was a real plus for cruisers - not to mention free laundry on site. The marina facilities were clean (looks brand new!) and very safe. We will definitely return.

Dan was great, We were hoping to refuel, get water, and hang out at dock in order to affect fresh water repairs. We had to buy full slip, ok. Unfortunately was put in a slip that when water tank refilled we ended aground as tide subsided significantly delaying departure and fouling AC water intake requiring mud digout overboard later.

Dan answered our questions prior to arrival professionally and efficiently. Met us at the dock, helped us tie up, fuel, and hook up to power. Then went the extra mile and walked us through the outstanding facilities. ONLY thin I’d suggest is a trash can at the end of C dock…! Awesome stay, and great fuel prices - way cheaper than City Docks!!

Staff was great. Great help while docking in gust winds. Very knowledgeable. We only stayed one night so we didn’t get to use the laundry or courtesy car, but everything neat and clean!
Marina Response:
Dianne, thank you for the positive feedback and choosing to stay with us. Just say the word and I'll book you for a multi-day stay so you can try the laundry and the car. -Danby Tim R. - Verified user on May 13, 2026
This is an excellent Marina. All new floating docks that are well managed. The marina includes free laundry with 3 good working washers and dryers. 3 private & clean boaters shower rooms, well-appointed boaters lounge and a fun historic town with in three blocks walking distance.

Henry, we strive to provide you with the best marina experience possible including setting our fuel and gasoline prices competitively. We appreciate your kind words and hope the rest of your travels are safe and enjoyable. -Danby Thomas & Angela G. on May 12, 2026
Wow! This is one of the best run marinas of the
60 or so we’ve stayed—great amenities: courtesy car, free laundry, boaters lounge and clean showers are great bonuses (amazing how often we do not find clean showers!).
The real amenity is the people…Dan was proficient and professional on the radio managing back and forth with several incoming boats, as well as single handedly, expertly getting us all in efficiently—so appreciated!
Marina Response:
Tom, after a long day of travel, our goal is to ensure that your arrival, docking, and stay are not only stress free but also allows you to enjoy your time in the marina as much as your time on the water. Many safe miles and thank you for your kind words. -Danby Belita W. - Verified user on May 11, 2026
Incredible Marina, the amenities include courtesy car (a nice van), free laundry, awesome boaters lounge, friendly Dockmaster.

Great location, great staff, and on the facilities. The working pump out and fuel availability was also much appreciated! The Dockmaster, Matt, was the most professional Dockmaster that we’ve ever had!! it wasn’t just us that thought that either!
Marina Response:
Mary- We appreciate your kind words and your business. Safe travels. -Danby George F. on May 08, 2026

This is a truly Exceptional marina; spotless and modern. The 5 Star rating does not do justice. The Captain’s Lounge is like your home. The Admiral will have no issues with the heads and showers. Floating docks, the best we’ve seen. Dan manages an exceptional operation. Most higher cost marinas cannot come close to the professionalism and service Homer Smith provides.
Marina Response:
George, Thank you for the review!! Means alot to us. Best of luck to you on your travels!! Mattby Kathy W. - Verified user on May 05, 2026

Very friendly staff. Nice short walk into town. We were here in 2019, came back in 2023 and then again in 2025 and in 2026! Super nice marina! Loaner van was a blessing as we could go grocery shopping. Thank you!!!

After a trip down the icw and back, this is easily one of the nicest (in various senses of the word) marinas we stayed at. They were friendly and helpful, communicated well by email, and then provided a tour of facilities when we arrived. Their facilities are incredibly nice and so were other patrons we met there! This is the model for how marinas should be run.
Marina Response:
Ted, Thanks for your business!! Our business model is simple!! Treat people the way you like to be treated!! Again thank you for kind word and we hope to see you in the future!! Mattby Mark C. - Verified user on Apr 22, 2026

About Homer Smith Docks and Marina
Homer Smith’s is the go-to Carteret County marina for guests and locals, alike. Located on Beaufort’s Towne Creek, we feature 30 slips, accommodating vessels up to 100 feet. More slips are to come, as we continually grow our facilities.
Our state-of-the-art marina caters to recreational boaters, sailors, fishing trollers, area residents and seasonal visitors. Our boat slip rental leasing options allow for brief visitors and those looking for a long-term stay. We’re proud to be serving everyone looking to be in Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, or just anywhere on Crystal Coast.
The docks that make up Homer Smith are constructued of a BMT ML-32 floating dock system built by Bellingham Marine, the largest dock manufacturer in the U.S. Our decking is made of Brazilian hardwood, also known as IPE. The main walkways are 10 foot wide, making them more stable than others in our area. Our docks are secured by 12-inch concrete piles and the finger piers will be 32-foot long with bumper piles at each end. The harbor lights are made with marina electrical equipment and supply all power needs for up to 100-foot motor yachts.
