Life on the Crystal Coast revolves around the water, as it has for centuries, and locals and visitors alike can celebrate this heritage with the annual Crystal Coast Boat Show. Going strong for more than a decade, this waterfront festival features a range of vendors, exhibitors, and other enticements to attract water fans from all over the region and beyond, and to provide an exceptional time for mariners of all tastes and ages.
The Crystal Coast Boat Show takes place on the Morehead City waterfront, which is a hotbed of activity for water lovers all year long. During the two day show, visitors can peruse a number of vendors who offer the most modern vessels and accompanying products, as well as a range of exhibitors which showcase both new and historic vessels that frequent the Crystal Coast waters. Both in-water and on-land boat displays will be readily available throughout the waterfront region, and a full schedule of events that includes activities for kids ensures that visitors of all ages can be entertained as they stroll alongside the downtown docks. Fun for all attendees, the Crystal Coast Boat Show provides an inside look into the waterfront lifestyle that the Crystal Coast is renowned for.
The Crystal Coast is best explored from the water, and Morehead City Ferry Service will take explorers to some of the most remote and beautiful corners of this long stretch of Southern Outer Banks shoreline. Launching from the heart of Downtown Morehead City along Evans Street, patrons who utilize Morehead City Ferry Service for a cruise or a taxi ride to the outlying barrier islands will be treated to full afternoons of sun and fun along the pristine sand.
