The staff was very nice and friendly and promptly let us know when our various deliveries arrived from Walmart+ . The showers were super nice and the laundry was free! We loved our stay here.

Excellent staff and very nice facilities. The owner of the marina actually came by to see how his staff were treating us. Kristy and Gary went out of their way sure our boat was safe and secure as we needed to leave it there for an extended time. Great marina!
Marina Response:
Happy to hear you enjoyed your experience at Dataw Island Marina, Tom, and thank you for the 5 star review!

Small marina with a very long facedock for transients. Easy In/Out. Well maintained wide floating docks. Watched the dolphins hunting. We stayed 2 nights. Reasonable rates considering the 'neighborhood'. Very friendly staff. Amy was so helpful in arranging a golfcart to explore. (Golf carts are owned by the golf club-- $25 for the day. They are designed for clubs so no "flip down" rear seat. It's a two-person cart.) Dataw is a beautiful private island with lovely homes. Golf cart paths everywhere. Morgan River Grille is on premises and the food was very good. A step above the usual marina restaurant fare likely due to support from the local upscale residents. Inside and outside seating on screened deck. Cocktails were excellent. Oysters on half shell. Nice selection of creative appetizers. It was consistently busy but not packed on a Tuesday night, which says good things about the kitchen. It's even open Mondays! There is a cute fenced playground for the kids and dog friendly area for our buddies. Caution: we found out the hard way on our way back from getting provisions that it is a big no-no to take the golf carts off the island (which is gated). We didn't know that and found that driving the cart on 55mph roads with little shoulder was dicey. Wal Mart and public are a hike into Beaufort (at least 7 miles) so you need car/uber to get provisions. No stores on the island that we saw. Purely residential and golfing. Great little marina. Would stay here again.

Outstanding marina, staff and place to visit. Must stop as well at the Morgan River restaurant, fantastic. Bring your bike, ride, walk and enjoy. Everyone is so nice and welcoming.

Nice marina with kids park and restaurant adjacent. Facilities are clean. Docking is done on north facing floating docks. Some rocking with strong N NE winds. Helpful staff
Marina Response:
Thanks, Dean! Hope to see you again. Safe travels on your next adventure!

The marina was fine and the dock help was excellent. However, they have no facilities to dispose of dog waste even though it is in a pick-up bag and tied off. Not knowing any better I threw it in their trash container and a guy came out of the office and chewed me a new rear end!!! They actually want you to take it with you on your boat! That is the first time I have ever encountered anything like that and only once did I encounter a situation where they didn’t want it in their normal trash container. In that case there was a separate container.

Great dockhands. We lost power during a storm and he came out and fixed it immediately.

by Michael D. on Apr 19, 2024
These guys are top notch. They worked us into the repair schedule very nicely and did a great job on the repairs. We also stayed a few nights. Marina staff went out of their way to accommodate us at The docks. Kind of remote for provisioning but makes for a beautiful bike ride around the development. We'll be back
Marina Response:
Mike, it was our pleasure! We hope to see you again for more of a leisurely visit! Safe travels, and thank you!

Great marina. My vessel sustained some prop damage and I had to get hauled out. Dataw had me hauled out, repaired, and underway again in just a few hours.
Marina Response:
Thank you for 5 stars! We were more than happy to help out and look forward to seeing you again (albeit under better circumstances!) Thanks, again and safe travels!

Great docks, individual showers which is appreciated when service dog in tow. Three meals at on site restaurant…all excellent! Great harbor master and staff! Came in during worst tidal current of the day and the staff got me tied up toot sweet
Marina Response:
Thanks for the review, Anthony! We were happy to help get you safely secured in your slip. The currents can be challenging, but our crew is always up for it! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay, and wish you safe travels as you continue on your journey. Stop by and see us again!

by Robert T. - Verified user on Dec 29, 2023
The staff is fantastic. Thank you! We had some issues with trying to play golf but hopefully that will get straightened out down the line. If the golf worked out we would have rated the marina at five stars
Marina Response:
Thanks, Ted (Robert)! You were great, and we hope to see y’all again soon! Hopefully with an earlier Tee-time! Have a wonderful New Year’s weekend and thanks for visiting us!

Nice folks, great amenities, and they put us on a secure dock to wait out a southerly blow comfortably. The showers at the community center were much cleaner than the ones next to the marina office. Beautiful upscale community with flocks of sea birds and many dolphins. Look for the unusual alligator gar fish that hang out on the surface at night. Pretty sunsets too!
Marina Response:
Thanks, we hope you enjoyed your stay!

Great spot. Dockhands were amazing. Dock and power are great. A little bit of a walk to shore but the facilities are fine. Free laundry. Did not try the restaurant but the menu looked good.
Marina Response:

This is now one of our favorite marinas! The staff members were extremely friendly and accommodating. We also had repair work done by Marine Tech (based right there in the marina) and they fit us in their busy schedule. The area is beautiful and we used the complimentary bikes to explore the island. No grocery store nearby, but we were able to have groceries delivered. Free laundry, clean air-conditioned bathrooms, restaurant on site (we wish we could have tried it). Beautiful sunsets in the evening—from the docks, the long pier ends with trees dripping with Spanish moss and hanging lights. Easy access to long face dock. We will definitely plan to visit again!
Marina Response:
Elizabeth and Family, it was a pleasure to have you (and Rogue Fun) with us at Dataw! Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We hope to see y'all again soon! Safe travels and happy sailing!

The dock staff is wonderful. Restaurant is fantastic and the golf course is superb. Been coming up from Hilton head for the last eight years. We love a day sale up and spend the weekend.
Marina Response:
Doug, thank you so much for the review! We really strive to provide our guests with the best possible service we can offer. Very happy that you enjoyed the bikes, as well. As far as the No-See-Ums, we have a secret weapon - Neutrogena SPF 45 spray on sunscreen. Works better than any other method we've tried so far!
