Just a few Notes about River Dunes Harbor Marina

If you were to visit here for the first time, you would say it is backwards, because of the lettering system they use here. There are a total of 400 slips here, and because of that there are limits in each one as follows:
The first dock you see coming into the marina either by boat or car is called T- dock, because it is a mixture of (T)ransient dockage. Any boat not staying a month or more is put here at the rate of $1.25 per foot, per night, except for the Winter months of December, January and February, when the rate drops to 1.00 per foot, per night.
The second and third docks are called A-North and A-South, all fingers are 40' long x 16'wide. The fingers face north and south; B- dock is the fourth and fifth dock, all 45' long accepting boats up to 18 feet wide. Fingers facing noth and south; the sixth and seventh docks is C dock, all 50' long x 20' wide. Fingers face N&S, and finally D dock, wiich are the eight and ninth docks, facing north and south ALL fingers are at least 65' long x 25' wide.

The Tee ends are as follows: A dock for up to 75' boats, all beams
B- dock between 76 and 90 foot, all beams
C- Dock is 91 to 110 footers, all beams,catamarans with beams between 26' and 35' wide.
D- Dock is any boat over a 112 to 135, all beams and usually catamarans and tri-marans with beams over 35' wide

C & D docks are currently full. There are about 5 docks on B-Dock and maybe 8 on A-Dock that are not full. Transients docks are usually full, especially in Spring and Fall, as cruisers head either North or South.

And this is all set on 1,300. acres. If you think you know a large marina in land size bigger, let me know.400 slips set on 1300 acees is huge, because OPRM is set on 6 with 250 slips....LOL....LOL

LOCATION: North - 35.05.075 North Latitude by 076.36.068 West Longitude...or 35.08455 x 76.50733.....Off of Pamlico Sound, approx 1 mi. up Broad Creek, North Carolina, Chart # 11541_1 (Neuse River and Pamlico Sound)
All docks are dredged to8' feet deep in MLW, it is a deepwater water marina with between 8'-10' depths at the fuel and it is all the time, regardless of seasonl changes.

Tidal range is less than 2 feet.
All docks have 50 or 100 AMP service, at the top of each dock are huge panels with over 1600 amps servicing A dock alone. We also have water, cable and telephone jacks....they have included at dockside pump-out, but it is not connected as of yet.
During the fall and winter months, the restaurant is closed except for Friday and Saturday nights, however the chef comes in daily and makes one dinner for all cruisers at about 15.00 to 20.00 pp Sunday through Thrusdays. During the summer months, the kitchen is always open, serving three meals a day.
