Coming from Atlantic Beach I made the round trip here twice in three days because it seemed like a nice short cut to get to the golf course in MInnesott Beach. Overall what is there to say? The same member of staff was in the shack both times confirming it was just me in the car and to let me know how long it would be until the next boat. Speaking of that, the schedule is below and honestly, there is a lot of frequency and I like that it doesn't change seasonally so you always know what to expect. www.ncdot.gov/travel-maps/ferry-tickets-services/routes/Pages/default.aspx Both times I crossed the traffic was very light, I think six and eight cars respectively on a Wednesday and Friday. I didn't get out on this side so I can't speak to any amenities one way or the other so I will defer to what Yelp legend Bruce K. said in his review. Nice and easy from AB up 101 and 306 without issue. Beautiful countryside all around. The crossing was a little over 20 minutes each time and all staff seemed great. It's free - it's easy - why wouldn't you?

I missed the ferry by only about 5 minutes so that left me with a half hour to wander around the…read moreterminal. There is not much on the Minnesott Beach side here except for a shack at the entrance where someone will tell you which lane to park in and then there is a small building with some vending machines. I didn't even notice if there was a restroom here. While waiting on a mostly cloudless day, it was peaceful to watch the water. And then the ferry arrived, everyone disembarked, and we drove on. I had no problem with my ten-foot-tall sprinter as the deck hand pointed me to a lane. Front row! There is a small passenger waiting cabin with air conditioning, seating, power outlets and lots of windows. Not much else to do but it's a short ride and we were unloading on the other side. Super easy, and yes, IT'S FREE! The Cherry Branch side (the south side of the Neuse River) does have a terminal with restrooms and vending machines.

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 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!

I really enjoyed my visit to Tryon Palace! I learned a lot about the history of New Bern, which was…read morevery cool. This house is a very nice reconstruction, as the original one burned down. The guide was very knowledgeable, and they even had fake food set out in the dining room! The gardens were lovely, and you could wander in them for a while (we didn't, just because it was so hot). Definitely a reasonable price to pay for a 45-minute history lesson.

The history was so interesting and I asked a lot questions as well - she didn't seem to kind! And I actually stumped bet on one of the equations. Make sure you walk around the grounds and the gardens as well. They have a pretend military camp based in 1774, so that was very interesting. Well worth it!

I feel like I learned so much about New Bern history. In addition, I heard some amazing stories! I loved the photos she had to show us that other guests had taken- actually showing ghosts!

She did a really great job of interacting with everyone on our tour, and keeping the pace appropriate for the group. There are so many haunted sites in New Bern, and she offered great stories and photos of eerie things she has experienced at many of the sites. My favorite part of the tour, though, was when we got to the building where Ashtyn was discussing the Boo Hags, a cat approached our group and then stayed with us for the rest of the tour! I know it was completely coincidental, but what a cool effect!

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.

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.

They do so many activities with the kids as far as educational field trips and they have a lot of great perks if your kid meets the goals for the year. (movies, bowling, parties, etc) They also have 2 family nights a year where all the kids and their families come out to the school and get to see their teachers and the teachers fill you in on what's going on in their class and there is a lot of fun activities to do. They make sure to include the parent in on everything there. The staff is extremely nice and I've never had any complaints at all. What's also really neat is that during the summer the library is open for the students to come and chill out and read some books.
