Nice marina stop after a long day
, 2017-05-05
Captain: Bob Singer, Punta Gorda, Fl (960)
This was our first stop in Southport area. Marina had just been dredged and were relocating boats that day. so very helpful in getting us a nice slip right by dock office, bath/laundry and the restaurant. We were tired and this was a positive rest stop for us. We left early the next day so did not see much else. They could not have been nicer or more accomodating.
Thank you for choosing us, Capt. Bob!

Great briefing in real nice marina
, 2017-05-14
Captain: Bigote, Baltimore (171)
As others have said, for those going north or south from this point, the briefing by Hank of CYC is great. Take your charts. We also got good help at the gas dock and getting into the slip in windy conditions. Nice showers and the town is an easy walk to beer and live music.
Thank you for choosing us, Capt. Bigote!
Great staff PLUS Hank Pomeranz
, 2017-05-17
Captain: Kevin Churchill, Kemah TX (140)
Good floating docks. Efficient staff. Clean bathrooms. The 6 pm briefing by Hank Pomeranz is NOT to be missed. Packed with latest depth surveys on the ICW, and a great weather forecast. A massive effort by Hank done a no charge to transients.
Several eating places within easy walking distance. If you are a looper, Robert Creech is the harbor host, and outstanding resource.
Overall a great experience !!

Memorial Weekend - 2017
, 2017-06-04
Captain: Joseph Horne, Barefoot Marina (20)
Saturday of Memorial day weekend we lost an engine coming in Caper Fear Inlet. Limped in to Southport where they found a spot for us to stay but also contacted people @ Zimmerman Boat Yard to get us set up for repairs. They turned a disaster into a comfortable weekend.
Thank you for choosing us, Capt.Joseph!

SOUTHPORT
"America's Happiest Seaside Town" by Coastal Living magazine, Southport is steeped in history and picturesque beauty. Southport has a charm that has not only attracted visitors, but the eye of the movie industry as well. Films such as "Safe Haven", "A Walk to Remember" and "The Secret Lives of Bees" all feature scenes shot in Southport. Fronting the Cape Fear River and the notorious Frying Pan Shoals, Southport has long been a port of haven for sea captains as far back as the 1700's. Stroll the docks and have a crab-cake sandwich and steamed shrimp at one of several restaurants featuring outdoor dining on the waterfront. Take a piece of culture or history home from a gallery or antiques shop, or try golfing, sailing or skydiving in the area. Whether you simply soak in the Old-South atmosphere or visit the sites, Southport is a vacation to discover the old and enjoy it anew.
