About Ensign Harbor Marina

Ensign Harbor Marina is a charming and sheltered marina offering 29 slips. It is situated just a few miles away from Oriental, NC, which is considered the sailing capital of North Carolina. Ensign Harbor is the perfect escape from the fast-paced city life, allowing you to relax and enjoy the gentle breeze with a glass of wine or a beer, or even indulge in some fishing, with excellent opportunities for trout and drum fishing. The marina spans ten acres of natural landscape, providing a serene and traffic-free environment. Despite its peaceful setting, the marina is conveniently located just a few miles from amenities and services. Located on Brown’s Creek in the small coastal village of Whortonsville, NC, the marina is a short distance from the Intracoastal Waterway as it traverses the lower Neuse River. We offer 29 slips equipped with 30 Amp power, water, a well-maintained bathhouse with showers, clubhouse, and WiFi service. The marina has a controlling depth of 5.5 feet and can accommodate catamarans. We welcome both sailboats and motor vessels for short and long-term slip rentals. Limited services in Dec-Feb
