Best place we have stayed so far in our travels. Great for an extended stay as well.

There is no way to say enough good things about the Port City Marina and the guys that work there. Lanier, Taylor and Max are all awesome people and we will miss them tremendously. They did their very best to always help us with anything we needed, maintained the marina at the upmost professional level and were just great to work with during our entire prolonged stay. I only hope to run into marina staff half as good as these great guys during our future travels. Thank you gentlemen!!! - Dwayne & Yuling

I would have given it a 5 star but was pretty unhappy with the fact that Dockwa said a transient price of $2.50 per foot per night during the week and we were charged $4.00. They blamed it on Dockwa on not keeping the info up to date, but my issue was how do you increase a price 60% from 6 months ago? It is disappointing because we love that marina and area for a trip but now what used to cost $92.50 a night is now $148.00 per night. Big difference. Rick Lappine My Brown Eyed Girl

Terrific side stop for a Looper. First class floating docks. Small lounge, laundry, showers. Very helpful and positive staff. Close to the old city.

EXCELLENT 4-day visit with 7 boats from our Southport Sailing and Boat Club (SSBC). Taylor the dock master went out of his way to get all of our SSBC boats together on B dock. We'll definitely be back again!

Great marina. Concrete docks are really good, staff is friendly and responsive. Moble pumpout service is terrific

by John L. - Verified user on Oct 19, 2025

Great Place! Overnight transient docking was fine; we were with a group and our slips were contiguous. Restaurants were very good, especially Bonita Latin Fusion where they efficiently seated and served 18 of us. Great meal. Stayed in one of the adjacent boat houses. Very nice also.

Nice docks, ok prices, friendly staff, and close to the touristy parts of town. Had a wonderful time.

Vey pleasant marina. We were there during Labor Day weekend. Met some nice full time residents and enjoyed walking the riverfront.

Very neat marina. Will go back again

by James D. - Verified user on Jun 21, 2025

We loved the location, the marina is new and beautiful and the staff was friendly. Our only beef was with something very fixable, the restrooms were not cleaned often and trash around the marina piled up before getting emptied. Otherwise, great experience.

by Jimmy S. - Verified user on Jun 18, 2025

Our stay was perfect. Max the dock hand was extremely helpful.
