We are one of the closest and nicest marinas to you here:

Well protected floating docks with a class 3 hurricane rating Near Washington NC.
All slips are owned with a yearly assessment for marina maintenance and capital reserves (a million 6 in the bank, so well managed). a 38-42' slip will cost you about 10-14K to buy plus about 1K in yearly assessments that includes electric, taxes and water. Owned and run by the owners with a volunteer maintenance staff that keeps it all pristine. Slips for sale are available for out of community owners...No rentals or subleases....Everyone here has a vested interest in keeping it nice..generally 30 slips on the market at any given time
By comparison, I paid about $2500 yr at the Washington waterfront for slip rental before I moved here. Other (less desirable) marinas in the area are about the same...
