Bald Head Island, North
Carolina (NC) - Bald Head Island Limited announces that Deep Point
Marina, the new mainland
ferry terminal for Bald Head Island, will open to the public on
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Ferry operations from
Indigo Plantation & Marina, the current embarkation point for
Bald Head Island, will be suspended permanently at that time. A
ribbon cutting ceremony at the new ferry terminal at 10 a.m. on June
2 will celebrate the Deep Point Marina grand opening.
The 40,000-square-foot ferry
terminal consists of two levels, similar to an airport, with
arrivals and departures on separate levels. The facility provides a
host of creature comforts, including indoor and open-air waiting
areas with dramatic views of the Cape Fear River, as well as a snack
bar, the Deep Point Galley, which offers grab-and-go food options,
soft drinks, beer, wine and coffee. Guests vacationing through Bald
Head Island Limited enjoy an easy start to their stay at the rental
check-in desk, while The Island Agency's professionally staffed
real estate sales desk answers questions relating to island
properties for sale.
Ultimately, Deep Point Marina
will house a number of other functions for Bald Head Island Limited,
including administrative offices, a marine maintenance facility, a
shipping and receiving center, and a harbour master building that
will accommodate the recreational marina operation. The site also
features a new 82-slip marina, opening later in June, which provides
fuel and transient dockage, as well as short-term and long-term slip
rentals.
Deep Point Marina is located
at 1301 Ferry Road in Southport just before the state-operated
Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry Landing. Entering
Southport on Route 211 South (Howe Street), take a left on East
Moore Street and then a right onto Ferry Road at the roundabout.
Proceed about a half mile and then turn right into the entrance to
Deep Point Marina, following the signs to the ferry terminal.
We hope you enjoy the
amenities, services and conveniences offered by Deep Point Marina,
the modern new gateway to
Bald Head Island. For more information on Deep Point Marina or
