One of our favorite places to overnight. Staff is very courteous, Dock Manager Martin Moulton is seasoned and experienced. Facilities are clean, Publix is across the street, large park is close by for dog walking. Pump out available by pump out boat. The only snag is the Ashely River bridges do not open for boats using the marina. If you are sail (or power over 18’, check bridge clearance), try Safe Harbor Charleston City.

This is a great marina. Well run, great location, tops all around. It’s our new go to spot for transient slip space. Walking distance to a full service Marriott and a Holiday Inn are just icing on the cake.

Martin and team were so nice and accommodating. We are new to boating and they helped us get our boat docked and tied up safely. The next morning we were leaving and Martin was there to show us where to get gas and to thank us and wish us a safe journey.

This was a perfect one night stay for us while we were at the Charleston Marriott. The marina employees were excellent. Sammy met us immediately and helped secure the boat and went above and beyond to make things easy for us. Everybody was friendly, and the Marina was clean and secure. We will be back.

My wife and I could not have had a better experience with our stay at Safe Harbor Bristol. The staff is so nice and accommodating. They are the reason we will come back year after year. Sammy met us as we pulled in to the marina, helped catch and tie up our boat and showed us everything we needed at the marina so that we could fully enjoy our stay. Martin helped us to reserve our stay and was in contact with us the whole weekend to make sure everything was going smooth. You never know what to fully expect, but this place blew those expectations out of the water. Thank y’all!
