Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort & Marina

Great place to leave a boat for the week and friendly staff

The marina was GREAT! Very well kept, beautiful area, and very helpful staff! We will use this marina again for sure!

Lovely facility staffed by fantastic people. A major drawback for us was the water level at low tide. This limited our use of the boat to a couple of hours before and after low tide.

Seth the Dockmaster was very accommodating and helpful!

On Monday, May 24, 2021, we arrived at Hilton Head Harbor RV Resort with our Mainship 430 trawler.  We booked the stay through Dockwa, which included our boat details, weeks in advance. Our plan was to secure the boat and visit locally with friends for a week before a quick trip to California.  We left the boat at this marina last fall for a week on the outside fuel dock had no issues. When approaching the marina in May, we were initially directed to tie up to the fuel dock.  While checking in at the office, we were given a slip assignment inside the marina basin.  Because we've only seen small boats (15-25 feet) in the basin, I questioned if our larger boat would be ok in the basin.  I was told the first few slips are fine for our size boat.  We left the face dock and made our way to the entrance of the basin at minimum speed.  We were about 90 minutes past low tide.  At the middle of the entrance, we went aground with impact to the port propeller.  Unfortunately, the ground was not soft.  We managed to back up and return to the fuel dock.  A Sea Tow boat happened to pass after witnessing our situation and advised us not to enter for at least 2 more hours.  When we returned to the fuel dock, I inquired about the entrance to the basin.  The dock staff member stated the channel is 8 feet deep and 20 feet wide.  Several hours later, we entered the basin and found our assigned slip. After securing the boat and leaving the marina, we received an email from the marina advising we may not want to run our air conditioning because we might suck in silt or plug mud at low tide.  Although we appreciate the warning, we were concerned about low tide.  We returned the next morning to find the boat firmly aground at low tide.  The aft end of the boat was lifted approximately 18 inches and the stern lines were strained by the pressure of a lifted boat secured to a dock now sitting in the mud.  We immediately returned to the office to request an assignment on the fuel dock outside the basin.  At the next high tide, we moved the boat back to the fuel dock. We are facing considerable expense for our prop and shaft as well several weeks delay waiting for repairs.  

Nice stay. The staff is exceptional and we had very little waking even though we're on the ICW and the marina's fuel dock. The facility is very nice with two pools and a hot tub. The restaurant was just OK for the prices charged and the taco truck provided a decent lunch. It was fun watching ask the tourists before and after their adventures. The only negative is that the area is very isolated and difficult without a car. We tried to use our bikes, but the very busy road with no bike paths wasn't comfortable. All and all, we had a relaxing stay and would recommend to fellow boaters.

The WiFi didn’t connect the water is off they parked us on a fuel dock not being able to sleep because of the waves restaurant would not serve takeout never got codes for amenities would not stay here again

Nice and quiet, easy in and out. No shopping but a good restaurant with great views. Seth the dock master does a great job! Only negative are the bright lights that light up the whole area. We love dark skies and dark salons/bedrooms.

Caution! Listed approach and dock depths are for the fuel dock only, the marina itself is very shallow, 4 ft draft will be on the bottom at low tide. The facilities are great though, a park like setting.

Staff at the marina was super nice and helpful. The restaurant was excellent as well

Awesome family atmosphere. Everyone helpful and approachable. Every employee greets you. If you're docking, employees close help you. Top notch facilities.

Great staff and very professional. Seth does a great job making sure you are taking care of.

My wife wanted to go somewhere for our anniversary in our Dutch Star Motor home but didn’t want to go far. So we drove to our favorite RV resort, which happens to be 4 miles down the rode from our home. Great weekend staycation. Super friendly staff. Steff the Harbour Master fixed our problem we had with dockage. Super, super great guy. KUDO’s to Steff!!

First time renting a slip at Hilton Head Harbor, and I was pleasantly surprised! Everything you need, and nothing you don't. Very convenient fuel pumps too.

We had a great stay and Seth (hope spelling is right) from the marina was the absolute best. We had a misunderstanding from resort at the beginning that he took care of and then had a little trouble with our jetski that he totally went above and beyond to help!!! Thank You!!

Kudos to the owner, Neal. Could not have been more nice or helpful. Was there after hours to help us when we docked. Picked up some much needed supplies at West Marine for us as well. Definitely will stay here in way back south in the fall!!

Nice stay, Calm night so the face dock was nice and quiet. Nice friendly staff.

The young lady that works in the marina and on the dock was wonderful! Loved the area we will be back!
