Every boater knows the peace of mind that comes with knowing their vessel is parked exactly where it belongs.
When you store your boat on the water, you aren’t just paying for a piece of wood and a cleat; you’re choosing how easy it is to drop everything and hit the river. For boaters along the Pamlico River, the Inner Banks of eastern North Carolina, finding the right home port means balancing security, deep-water access, and—let’s be honest—a great location.
That is exactly why so many captains’ logs list Havens Wharf as their address in historic “Little Washington.” Here are some reasons why keeping your boat at our docks changes how you experience life on the Pamlico River.
1. Prime Downtown Location Means Zero Commute to Fun
Located just a short cruise down the river right before the BR17 Coastal Railway swing bridge, Havens Wharf gives you the unique advantage of docking directly in Washington’s downtown waterfront district.
When you tie up here, you are a literal one-minute walk from historic Main Street’s boutique shopping, waterfront dining, and the historic Turnage Theatre. You don’t have to pack a cooler or worry about trailering your boat to a remote ramp just to grab dinner after a day on the water. Your boat is part of the downtown lifestyle.
2. Serious Infrastructure for Serious Boaters
A marina can have all the charm in the world, but it doesn’t mean much if the slips can’t handle your vessel. Havens Wharf features more than 30 deep-water slips boasting an impressive 20 feet of depth at the dock.
- Power & Water: Every slip is fully equipped with reliable 30-amp and 50-amp AC electrical power hookups and fresh water connections.
- Heavy-Duty Lifts: Want to keep your hull completely out of the water? We feature on-site boat lifts capable of accommodating vessels up to 18,000 lbs.
- Lease Stability: We don’t host transient, single-night boaters. With a 3-month minimum lease, our docks foster a private, predictable, and close-knit community of local mariners. We even allow liveaboards!
3. The Conveniences of a Premium “Boater-Only” Haven
We’ve designed the property so that your time off the water is just as comfortable as your time on it. Slip renters have exclusive access to a suite of secure, well-lit amenities housed right by our landmark historic red-brick building:
- Private his-and-hers restrooms and hot showers.
- On-site commercial ice machine and laundry facilities.
- A convenient pump-out station.
- A waterside outdoor lounge complete with a fire pit and gas grill—perfect for trading stories with neighbors at sunset.
Whether you’re planning a quick evening cruise to watch the sun dip below the horizon or preparing for a longer voyage down toward the Outer Banks, your journey is seamless when your boat stays at Havens Wharf.
