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!

We booked this boat tour same day for a 3-5pm cruise. Easy online booking process. I called to…read moreconfirm. Very friendly associate and clear directions to dock. Free parking. Captain Matthew was waiting for us and welcomed us aboard. Very comfortable seating and well maintained vessel. Electric motor was perfect for the quiet crusing and delightful conversation with other guests. We learned about the river, the area, a little history, the locals and some nature. Full 2 hour cruise. Very reasonable pricing and great value. We loved the rivers and all that we got to see. Highly recommend!

We headed to the dock to find out about a boat tour but the company we were searching was no longer…read morein business. We learned this from the most engaging couple, Captain Jack and Mate Marilyn, who just happened to have their own boat excursion company. We decided to cruise with them the next morning around 9:30. We arrived about 9:10, they welcomed us aboard and we were off on a 90 minute excursion. The boat is electric so we were able to approach birding areas without frightening the little critters, such as the nesting Ospreys. We were also able to have delightful conversations about nature, the effects of Hurricane Michael on the area, the lovely church where Marilyn and Jack attend and many more interesting facts about the New Bern area. We were totally mesmerized with the outing and the 90 minutes passed much too fast. It was a beautiful day, an enchanting "voyage" and a totally enjoyable adventure with Dragonfly Cruises. By all means do it when you're in New Bern!

Great marina. Remote. I know the new ownership, Oasis Marinas is making a strong effort to spruce…read moreit up. I hope they are successful. However when they took over they raised prices 25% for this very remote marina that has fixed docks and far from everything. So, they really need to match services to price and still keep the hometown feel of it. They're spending money on upgrades and we have high hopes. Great location on the River if far from town.

This marina is in the middle of nowhere, if you are in a car...relatively speaking. It seems that…read morenothing is easy to get to around New Bern because of all of the bridges. You can be 5 minutes away from hubs of commerce and activity and it looks like you are in the middle of nowhere. My brother had bought a boat and it was docked at the marina. I spent about 10 days here and had a fairly good time. There is a little store that sells wine and beer and snacky-type foods. A laundry with washers and dryers is in the clubhouse. Adjacent to the headquarters is a restaurant/bar (they didn't have their liquor license yet when I was there) where the food is decent, if it is still extant. Lots of dock..._lots_ of dock. The slip was almost as far away from the parking lot as you could get. The marina has wheeled carts that you can load your gear into to facilitate loading your boat. That helped, but I swear, it was like a quarter-mile round trip to return the buggies so other folks could use them. Unless you're a raving asshole and just leave them parked on the pier. I saw some of that. Helpful folks running the place. I had occasion to talk to them several times and they were friendly and helpful. No pretentiousness or aloofness. If you are in the area, toodle on over and check it out. It is quite a drive from New Bern proper, but if you are starved for recreation, you could do worse.

I needed a bottom paint job done on my Boston Whaler. I got quotes from other boat yards and…read morebottom painting services in the area that I felt were waaay over priced. Then I called Pro356 Marine and got a very reasonable quote with excellent advice on the best kind of Bottom paint for our local waters. I took a chance and found that they are very experienced and do excellent quality work -- not only bottom painting, but also topsides painting and custom fabrication. I was very pleased with the end result when I picked up my boat. In talking to Keith the owner, I discovered he is able to do some custom work on another boat I own. After seeing examples of other jobs they have done, I'll definitely be using their services in the future. I highly recommend this company! Jim Fairfield Harbour Resident
