August 11, 2025

What do you get when you combine calm freshwater, small-town charm, and a boatload of fun?

A late-summer weekend in Edenton, North Carolina—with Motor-Boatin’.

We’re excited to officially open our newest location at Edenton Marina, offering Bentley Navigator pontoons and Yamaha Waverunners for rent every Friday through Sunday. Whether you’re a local looking to soak up the final stretch of summer or a visitor passing through the Albemarle Sound, this is your invitation to get out on the water and make the most of it.

Why Edenton?

Edenton isn’t just another waterfront town—it’s one of North Carolina’s best-kept secrets. Known as “one of the prettiest small towns in America,” Edenton is full of charm, with tree-lined streets, wraparound porches, historic homes, and a peaceful waterfront that feels like it’s straight out of a movie.

Our location at Edenton Marina, just off W. Queen Street, puts you steps from the town’s shops, restaurants, parks, and historic sites. It’s the perfect place to launch for a day of cruising or a weekend of exploration.

What We Offer:

At our Edenton location, you can choose your speed:

  • Pontoon Boats – Spacious, smooth, and perfect for families, friends, or anyone who wants to float the afternoon away. Pack a cooler, grab your crew, and enjoy the ride.
  • Jet Skis (Yamaha Waverunners) – For those who prefer a little more thrill, our jet skis are ready to cruise across the Sound and kick summer up a notch.

With calm, freshwater and no tides or barnacles to worry about, Edenton is a boater’s dream—especially for first-timers or casual riders.

After the Ride

The fun doesn’t stop when you tie up your boat. Once you're back on land, there’s still plenty to explore. Take a walk through Edenton’s historic downtown, grab lunch or ice cream, visit the Roanoke River Lighthouse, or catch the sunset from the waterfront park. It’s an easy way to turn a few hours on the water into a full day of memory-making.

Whether you're staying close to home or looking for a weekend destination, Motor-Boatin’ in Edenton is the perfect way to enjoy these final weeks of summer. From slow cruises to fast rides, we've got the gear to help you make the most of your time on the water.
