What you need to know
Big, full-service, and the standard fuel stop for anyone running the ICW through the Cape Fear. Well protected basin. Book transient in October — the snowbird migration books it solid.
Forecast, observations and tides are live from NOAA, the National Weather Service and NDBC. Run time, fuel, depth and daylight are calculated from your boat profile. Planning aid only — not for navigation. Carry current charts.
