You've worked hard for the life you have. You've built a career, raised a family, made smart decisions, saved for the future and waited for the time when life could be less about what you have to do and more about what you want to do. This may be one of those rewards. Slip F-6 at St. James Marina is a 30-foot wet slip, approximately 13 feet wide, offering your own place on the water at one of the Southport and Oak Island area's premier marinas. And you do not have to own a home in St. James to own this slip. Imagine a beautiful Carolina morning when the only decision is where to go. Walk down the dock, step aboard and head directly toward the Intracoastal Waterway. Cruise into Southport for the day, make your way toward Oak Island or Bald Head Island, spend the afternoon fishing, or continue toward the Atlantic Ocean. Your boat is already in the water--waiting for you. And owning a slip isn't only about where the boat can take you. Sometimes the best evenings are spent right at the marina. Bring a couple of friends, settle onto the boat, watch the masts sway against the evening sky and enjoy a Carolina sunset reflecting across the water. When you're ready for dinner or a drink, Beacon 315 Restaurant & Tiki Bar is just steps away. St. James Marina provides the amenities that make boating ownership more enjoyable, including fresh water, metered electricity, 30/50-amp shore power, dock box, fuel dock, pump-out service, Ship's Store, restrooms, laundry and ample parking. Professional marina management, a Dock Master, security cameras, security lighting and roving patrols add another level of convenience and peace of mind. This isn't about extravagance for the sake of extravagance. It's about reaching the point in life when your time belongs to you. You worked for the early mornings. You worked through the long days. You planned for someday. Maybe someday looks like this. F-6 at St. James Marina... your boat in the water, the Intracoastal ahead of you, and nowhere you have to be...Call Us for a Showing !
