VISIT NOW | Hertford, NC, on the Albemarle Sound | 800-523-5958

The sparkling waters of the Albemarle Sound provide stunning scenery, create challenging golf hazards, and are naturally inviting to a variety of water activites: sailing, cruising, swimming, water-skiing, paddling by kayak or canoe, fishing and crabbing. Albermarle Plantation offers a safe harbour for all of your boating needs and is your direct access to the Sound, the largest freshwater sound in the country—55 miles long. All the facilities and services demanded of a first class harbour are here, and, this beneficial location lends itself to both fresh and salt waters, offering an abundance of fish and shellfish varieties throughout the year.

Our full-service, deep-water 166-slip marina is one of the largest private boat basins on the Eastern Seaboard. Placed strategically at the mouth of Yeopim Creek, the marina is just beyond the high insurance line saving boaters significantly on their insurance rates. Our residents find it’s an easy access to some key places along the coast: the Intracoastal Waterway, the serene Outer Banks and even the Atlantic's Gulf Stream– ideal for a day of sport fishing. It’s a boating and fishing enthusiast's paradise. In short, you're gonna love it here!
