Fairfield Harbour and New Bern Community Named Among Top 10 Boating Towns by Boat U.S. Magazine
Local Boating and Golf Community and Surrounding Town Recognized as a Top Coastal Location and Active Community for Retirees
New Bern, NC, July 03, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Fairfield Harbour (http://www.fhpoa.com), a residential boating and golf community located 15 minutes from historic New Bern, has announced that the nearby town and surrounding area has been named as one of the top 10 boating towns in the United States for retirement by Boat U.S. magazine. Boat U.S. is an official publication of the Boat Owners Association of the United States, an organization dedicated to providing quality service, savings and representation to the nation’s boating community, and provides association members with up-to-date information on issues that affect every boater.
The magazine selected New Bern to be in the top 10 for its ideal location with easy access to the Neuse River, Trent River and Pamlico Sound. The publication noted that the town offers retiring boaters ample recreational opportunities, picturesque historic homes and an involved community life. The New Bern community is affordable and a thriving boating town, with several harbors and marinas, including those in Fairfield Harbour.
With three marinas on the Intracoastal Waterway, Fairfield Harbour provides boaters with some of the best access points for deep water on the east coast. Northwest Creek Marina, located 8 miles up the Neuse River from the Intracoastal Waterway, provides easy access for boaters coming in from the Atlantic Ocean, as they do not have to worry about negotiating any bridges. Boaters are offered slips on short- and long-term leases, and transient boaters are always welcome. Additionally, Fairfield Harbour has completed extensive electrical and water renovations at its Shoreline and Birdland marinas to ensure they meet the needs of all users. The affordable and extremely active community fits with New Bern’s recognition as a top location for retirement for those who love the water.
Quotes:
“It is no surprise that New Bern is named in the top 10 best boating towns in the United States,” said Mystre’ Van Horn, on-site community manager for Fairfield Harbour. “With easy access to the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, boaters flock to the area, including the marinas in Fairfield Harbour. We are proud to call New Bern our home, and we welcome all who want to enjoy the fantastic boating lifestyle the town has to offer.”
“I’m not surprised that the New Bern and Fairfield Harbour area was named as a top 10 boating town,” said Larry Knapp, President of the Fairfield Harbour board of directors. “The local boating and fishing was a major factor in my decision to move here. Having a boat in the backyard with easy access to the Neuse River, Trent River and Pamlico Sound in addition to New Bern’s waterfront restaurants is a perk to living in this great community.”
