Wow! What an epic store. Walking into here made me wish I was the opposite of a minimalist. Or at…read morethe least that I had some camping or outdoor gear with a hole in it needing replaced. When you enter in one section of the building you think you've seen it all. But here it's like they slowly expanded by adding segments of neighboring buildings and coming up with something hella dope to shove in the new spot. To start with I was perplexed by the broad selection of colorific ukuleles positioned next to a litany of hats. Can anyone say Instagram-worthy gear? Somebody told these guys that ukuleles and patch hats were in, so they jumped on the bandwagon. Slide to the back and whada we got here? Longboards. You tryna cruise down a mountain pass wearing a 3-percenter hat playing Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" on a ukulele and somehow drinking Ocean Spray for TikTok likes? YUP! Right here; come getcho contradictions. And after a long day of sidewalk surfing, find yourself right back here at the BAR taking in the scenic views of kayaks strung from the rafters (there's a pun there I just know it) and dreamy tents on high. Wait is that a flannel? Need! Or maybe you're too beat from your hike. Sleep in and drop by for a nitro and double down on the hang-ten. Gnarly, brother! This shop is righteous!

This shop had a lovely window display with a sailboat that brought me into the store. There are so many cool things to check out. From skulls, to pirate lamps, and of course boats! If you have a nautical-theme anywhere in your home you will find a treasure to add to your collection! I found the blue sailboat which I fell in love with before I even walked into the store. It was $49, which I thought was a little pricey. But the painting detail was amazing and I loved the colors of blue and green. Plus it was the day before my birthday so I bought myself a gift lol! And it looks great on my home! If you're ever in the New Bern area you must stop by and check out The Boathouse.

They have hats, t-shirts, build-your-own ships in a bottle, signal flags, nautical charts, throw pillows and more. My favorite was the colored glass prisms used to bring light onto the lower decks of boats. I had only seen them in blue, but the Boathouse had several other colors. The old nautical charts are interesting as well, and make you appreciate the old-school way of charting the seas. Once you've finished relaxing or fishing on your boat tour, then stop by here to recapture the moment.

They offer everything from cute clothing to jewelry to shoes to handbags. I found most of their inventory while cute was designed for petite, less curvy women (mainly XS, S & M). While some of their clothing was offered in a cotton blend, most were synthetic. Plus their prices were moderately high. It's a price I would have paid if the items I liked were available in my size. Staff was extremely attentive even during a hectic event similar to a trunk showing. Such a cute store, so I will stop again again.

There were a couple of pups near the counter, residents of the facility, so if you don't like K9's or are afraid that they'll hump your ankles while you're browsing the wares, you should probably wait outside while everyone else has fun in this store. There is an upstairs, up the stairs, and it's mostly horse related stuff and not in my size. We ended up walking out (after paying) with a few things that we couldn't live without.
