New Bern Grand Marina Yacht Club

Very friendly people in the marina on neighboring boats. The staff was helpful but didn't seem knowledgeable about marina and equipment. We stayed on F dock on the far east side and had no connection to internet whatsoever where we were. In fact it seemed to be non operational everywhere. The marina is still recovering from Florence in 2018. The docks are in really poor condition and in need of repairs/replacement. The marina office with bathrooms and laundry is half the distance to downtown and it's at least 2 blocks. On their website page they posted $2/ft for BoatUS. They didn't honor it, said it was wrong and made us pay $2.50/ft. Better management and investments needed. Also you need to pass the bridge on your way in and out. It doesn't open at rush hour 7-9 am and 4-6pm

Stopped in without my boat, but they were still extremely friendly and accommodating.

Second time at this marina; first time in my boat. Friendly staff helped me dock in a slip relatively close to land. This marina is very close to downtown New Bern, which is a wonderful stop just off the Great Loop. There are quite a few liveaboards at this marina and all were very friendly. The docks are secured with a combination lock. I felt very safe. Some noise in late afternoon from gulls gathering along the railroad bridge adjacent to the marina. They were quiet after sunset. The train seems to come by in the morning, very slowly. My only gripe about this marina is the distance from the boat dock to the restrooms and laundry facilities -- it's at least two city blocks! Pet friendly. There is a grassy area right outside the dock gate. A sign was erected during my stay: "Dogs must be leashed." I would stay here again and recommend it, but mostly for its proximity to downtown New Bern.

The New Bern Grand Marina Yacht Club has been one of our very favorite stops! The proximity to town is 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!
