Came by this morning to get fuel and pump out our holding tank. Our dockhand, Nick, was welcoming and very proactive while assisting us! We will definitely be staying with Southport Morningstar when we return to town this fall! Thanks a lot Morningstar!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you enjoyed our facilities and our staff!by Capt. Tom E. - Verified user on May 16, 2026
Totally sucked. The Marina said that they would send me all the information on the location of the flip and anything about the Marina because I was coming in late and after dark. They never emailed me. They never text me anything! I wound up getting stuck in the mud in front of their Marina. A heads up would’ve been nice knowing that I was coming in in the dark! I also never used their electric which I paid for for the slip which I paid for. I wound up, tying up to an inside side tie because I could not find the slip! I think I deserve a credit for the money spent! Or at least be refunded that money!
Marina Response:
Hi Tom, we apologize again for the inconvenience and appreciate you taking the time to speak to us on our phone call.

Hello John, your review means a lot to us. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you back soon.by Scott B. - Verified user on May 14, 2026
Very nice marina! The docks are in great shape, staff were very helpful, and the location is right next to town. The power pedestals are new with GFCI protection so we were not able to get power, but that was fine for us. Off River and out of current made docking easy. Highly recommend!
