Heading south on Intracoastal Waterway on sailboat. Stopped at Caspers Marina for diesel fuel and water. Plenty of depth at dock, notable current but can be used to advantage docking. Staff was very helpful. Clean and neat areas. Went into shops near Marina and was surprised that Swansboro, North Carolina is a big tourist area. Went in to a c…

LOVED the ride didn't get to see the sunset but did get to see a lot of dolphins. The caption and his wife were really awesome they are really laid back kind of people. I would love to do this again.

First rate marina with great diesel prices. Let us have groceries delivered there, refrigerated the perishables and brought them out to us. Also offered us showers. We will be back! Thank you so much!

Nothing fancy but friendly. Helpful staff. The diesel pump is not working, the dock manager took my Jerry can to a local gas station and filled it up for me. I really appreciate that kind of service.

Stopped here on southbound trip to Jacksonville in Jan, 2020. Friendly and very helpful staff. Very convenient to downtown restaurants and shops. The staff was very helpful in recommending what restaurants were open. We stayed 2 nights due to weather...the facilities should be improved and then this would be a must stop. I do recommend Casper's Mar…

Who we are

About Casper's Marina

Casper's Marina is a working waterfront marina in the heart of Swansboro, right on the Intracoastal Waterway. Transient boaters consistently call out the staff by name for going the extra mile — refrigerating grocery deliveries, hauling jerry cans to the gas station when a pump is down, recommending the best spots in town for dinner. One reviewer said it best: "nothing fancy but friendly," and that sums up what Casper's is all about.\n\nThe marina offers plenty of depth at the dock, easy access to downtown Swansboro's shops and restaurants, and a welcoming vibe whether you're stopping for fuel or staying a night or two. Dolphin sightings on the water are a bonus. If you're making a passage along the East Coast, this is the kind of stop that reminds you why cruising is worth it. Come tie up and see for yourself.
