Morningstar Marinas Southport

Theresa, Steve, Mike, Hatch... and others.... We sure felt the southern hospitality the minute we docked at the fuel dock. We had been "running" from Hurricane Erin for 3 days. Nervous and hoping she was going to follow the path that the meteorologists say she was going to. We have ALL SEEN hurricanes turn at the last hour. We arrived... we had assistance docking at the fuel dock and they also showed us where our slip would be. They also assisted us into our slip. I then went exploring and I met Theresa! She was so kind. Actually listened to me talk... she heard my story. She was very friendly! She gave our dog, Margo, a few cookies. Margo was smitten! Margo kept wanting to go back into the building to say hello and get another cookie every time we walked by. Margo knew it felt like "home" right away. Theresa gave us Mike's card and we contacted him the following day. He was also very pleasant and had a lot of answers to our questions. He said he would take care of getting us a slip for at least the next few months. We were so happy and felt so welcomed we scraped our previous plan to get further south into Georgia and have left the boat in their hands for the remainder of hurricane season at least. Thank you for all your kindness!!!! Happy Hurricane Season! Thank you again to the Southport Marina peeps! Friendships are the Best Ships! Respectfully, Linda M/V Sunshine State of Mind

Very nice marina with floating docks, clean restrooms and laundry facilities, and adjacent dog park! Helpful staff when docking and tying up, also gave us a nice quick orientation about the town and local restaurants, all within a quick walking distance. Southport is a cute historic town, quain. Loved Potter's fish market and the Fishy Fishy restaurant!!

Great marina in historic quaint Southport - staff was helpful while tying up, nice floating docks, clean restrooms and laundry facilities. Walking distance to many waterfront restaurants - we bought fresh and frozen seafood at Potter's Seafood to take home, then had appies and drinks at the Fishy Fishy. Thus is a really nice place for an overnight stopover.

I was first impressed with the overall quality of the marina as a whole, beautiful. All of the staff are amazing and very knowledgeable about all the aspects of the marina. Dry dock storage is new to me and Kennedy Wright made the entire process of both signing up and understanding how the boat storage works very easy. I found Kennedy to me very responsive to my calls and pleasant to talk to as well as knowledgeable about what the onboarding process is. Highly recommended marina based on my experience with the staff.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Morningstar Marinas in Southport, NC, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment I arrived, the customer service was absolutely stellar. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed for my stay. A special shout-out to Gabriel, who helped me find the perfect slip for my Valiant 42 (Molley Jane) ! His knowledge and dedication made the whole process seamless, and I truly appreciate the time he took to make sure my experience was top-notch. The facilities at Morningstar Marina are also exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasant environment for any sailor. If you're looking for a marina that combines excellent service and cleanliness, look no further! Highly recommend! Best, Shan & Karen

Fantastic marina, I keep a boat there everyone to include the dock hand, fuel dock as well as all of the office staff is a pleasure to deal with and always happy to help.

Clean and friendly Marina. Easy in and out every time with boats from Freedom Boat Club. Knowledgeable dockhands and staff. Sometimes parking is limited on holiday weekends but we have always been able to get a spot & get out on the boat! Lovely picnic area that we sometimes use when we have visitors, it’s great for a picnic meal after you come off the water and are hungry! Highly recommend this marina.

This is a calm, well thought-out Marina in an excellent location within walking distance to the beautiful downtown. Plus there's a fenced in dog potty area. So very nice!
