Come hear the story...

According to local historians, the people who first settled Wilmington, North Carolina came ashore at the highest bluff along the northeast branch of the Cape Fear River. Naturally, they choose the anchorage best suited for the protection of their vessel, and the point most advantageous for surveying the land.

More than three hundred years later, this property is still one of the best places from which to explore this part of the world - by land or water.

On this historic site, edged by terraced gardens, the ruins of the lumber and ice companies which once occupied this land stand side by side with a massively built marina, an industrial-deco boat building facility and an attractive low country dock house that offers showers, laundry facilities and a dockmaster's office.

Ruggedly constructed of thick steel pilings and extra-wide steel reinforced southern yellow pine docks, Cape Fear Marina is a brand new, thoroughly modern facility that offers slips from 45' to 76' long, all with full-length finger piers, and 5 of facing dock up to 175 feet. All slips can accommodate vessels of deep draft. Hook ups for power, water, phones and sewage pump-out are available at every slip.

Secured by an electronic gate, Cape Fear Marina is conveniently located in the same complex as a full-service boatyard, Bennett Brothers Yachts, and are capable of hauling boats up to 95' in length.
