As its name implies, Harkers Island Fishing Center is primarily concerned with sportfishing craft, but cruising boaters can make use of its facilities from time to time. Just watch out for those water depths. This marina also suffered cruelly from the twin hurricanes, but plans called for the docks to be rebuilt by the spring of 1997. Calico Jack's has a marginally deeper entrance channel than Harkers Island Fishing Center, but you must still carefully follow an unmarked channel to stay off the bottom. Large craft should call ahead to check on the availability of deepwater slips before planning to dock here.
Transient dockage is available at fixed wooden slips.
Each berth has water and 30-amp power connections. Gasoline and diesel fuel are available. Mechanical repairs can be arranged through independent contractors. There is a small ship's, tackle, and variety store on the grounds. Calico Jack's features an adjoining motel with a swimming pool.
