River Dunes Selected as One of Top 25 Marinas in North America

The December issue of Power and Motoryacht Magazine featured their list of the top 25 marinas in North America that included only two North Carolina destinations. River Dunes, located minutes from the Intracoastal Waterway near Oriental North Carolina, was selected by the editors as one of the top 25.  The magazine reached out to its readers, friends on social media and Marinalife, its “partner in cruising”, to create the list of the best places to tie up in North America, based on actual boaters’ experiences.

Also rated a five-star marina by the readers of ActiveCaptain and voted 2013 Best Customer Service Marina by Marinalife readers, River Dunes Marina and Harbor Club are located at Mile Marker 173, just off the ICW, convenient to the Outer Banks and Crystal Coast of North Carolina. 

The state-of-the-art marina offers floating docks within a protected 28 acre inland basin harbor with high speed fuel and other conveniences.  Transient and leased slips are available.

World-class harbor amenities include a private club with casual and fine dining, pool, spas, Har-tru tennis courts, fitness facility, bicycles, canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, guest boater facilities with steam showers and laundry, and harborside guest cottages.

An un-named reader who provided an endorsement for River Dunes’ inclusion in the list stated, “I have visited most marinas between Annapolis and Hilton Head, and this marina is the crown jewel.” Here's the full list of completed amenities at River Dunes in Oriental North Carolina:
