Eaton Ferry Marina, part of Keel Marinas, is Lake Gaston’s premier full-service marina, located in Littleton, North Carolina on the Virginia-North Carolina border. As a central hub for the 20,000-acre lake, the marina offers 27 wet slips with electric, water, and Wi-Fi service, 300 dry stack boat storage slips, a non-ethanol fuel dock, boat rentals, full-service mechanics, and a fully stocked ship store.
The 21-boat rental fleet includes Avalon Pontoon boats (23 feet, Yamaha 150 HP, seating 10-12), pontoons and ski boats for pulling tubes and water skiing, and Sea Ray Bowriders seating up to 10 for tubing or skiing. Renters must be at least 21 with a valid driver’s license, pass a free Boating Safety Course, and are permitted no pets on the watercraft. A $5 boat ramp fee and $25 vehicle/trailer parking fee apply, and cancellations 48+ hours ahead receive a full refund.
The marina also hosts Overby Marine Sales & Service on-site, a top-selling Centurion Boats dealer on the East Coast with more than 21,000 square feet of showroom and service space (Avalon, Sea Ray, and Bennington brands), plus One Eyed Jack’s Restaurant for casual waterfront dining right at the marina.
Guest reviews consistently describe friendly, helpful staff and enjoyable pontoon, ski boat, and jet ski rentals, with reviewers specifically praising easy pickup and drop-off and competitive pricing compared to other Lake Gaston rental options.
For boaters and vacationers on Lake Gaston looking for pontoon, ski boat, or jet ski rentals, wet slip or dry stack storage, boat sales, or waterfront dining, Eaton Ferry Marina/Keel Marinas offers a well-established, full-service hub in Littleton.
