We took the Trent river route one, very beautiful and scenic. She meets you at the beginning of your route and helps you get set and sent on your way. When you finish she will meet you at the end of your route and load you up. She will then shuttle you back to your vehicle. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BEARFOOT KAYAKS!!

The New Bern Grand Marina Yacht Club has been one of our very favorite stops! The proximity to town…read moreis unbeatable! We loved being able to step off our boat and be in the heart of New Bern's charming downtown area. There were so many things for our kids to do and explore in the area. The marina itself is in a rebuilding state from a recent hurricane. The office is housed in a temporary building that is about a block away from the docks. They do have bathrooms and laundry, but the pool is still closed. The transient dock is brand new and extremely nice. We docked on the far side and struggled to get the marina wifi. My advice would be to try to dock closer to the gate at the end. You will have a shorter walk with laundry and closer proximity to wifi. The staff is very friendly at New Bern Grand Marina Yacht Club and they offered our family several suggestions on restaurants. We will definitely return!

I totally forgot that I left a crappy review for Flanners Beach three years ago back when there was…read moreno beach access. Access was restored recently, and whereas this is not a beach where I'd spend a weekend (too small), it is a good place to go for a brief trip to enjoy water and nature! I'm so glad they have reopened this beach.

Love this place and was saddened by all the damage Hurricane Florence did in late 2018. The good…read morenews is that the east side trails are open! I just hiked several of them and it appears there has been much work done to clear the trails of debris and add a top layer above the major trails for mountain bikes. I don't think most people know it is back open because the official government websites still list Flanner's Beach as closed. There are several wooden fences that were put up to prevent access to this area and the western trails. In fact, the entire parking lot is gated closed with "No Entry" signs posted everywhere. Although the camping area and circular hard-surface paths are open, access to the river-side trails is also blocked. I had to park at the small lot just south of where the county property ends. There are a few other places to park prior to there that will allow access to trails further away from the river. I'm hoping the western trails will open, but for now am grateful for whoever did the work to open the eastern side - thank you!

Hidden gem in Craven County, the Cow Pen Landing NC Wildlife boat ramp in Vanceboro is a quiet…read moreplace to reflect while watching the Neuse River stream past you. Nice floating dock where you can sit and have lunch while you listen to the area's birds sing the favorite songs. This boat ramp is a small one without much activity. There are no picnic tables, so we sat on the fishing benches on the dock to enjoy our lunch. Also, this is a very rustic launch with no bathrooms, so be prepared to hold it. If you're in the area and want to get away for a quick break, Cow Pen is a nice little oasis.

A great place to drop in the water and kayak for a few hours! Super nice guy who got us all set up…read more The prices are affordable (but keep in mind it's cash only) -- $20 for hours singly kayak, $30 for double kayak. The water was calm except for the occasional jumping fish...the left bank is beautiful nature with osprey nests, while to the right are amazing homes on the water. We didn't see another boat out there! Amazing day and an amazing business.

Everything marine upholstery, canvas, Isinglass, and more…read more We recently had them refresh out 1993 Hunter. We had the interior replaced with new material and cushioning. They also replaced the Isinglass in parts of our dodger and made repairs to the bimini. We could not be more satisfied! Their prework communications were great, they helped us along the way in defining the scope of work and worked within our budget. No upsell just great suggestions and in a couple cases work removed from the scope. Though the scheduling is out a couple months it is well worth the wait to work with true professionals who have great communication and workmanship. They really worked with us and our schedule. If you want quality workmanship and solutions that work, you want them!
