Avoid!!!! Avoid!!!!! Avoid!!!! This always used to be one of my favorite stops. It is a nice Marina. However, it has suffered like most under Safe Harbor in-terms of staff. Customer service and satisfaction is not a priority. Corporate greed and policy take first place. They manage the fuel dock at Ashley’s now too so beware. Check out Charleston Resort Marina instead.

Wonderful staff. Courtesy van was so nice, took us to Publix and back to our boat. Easy in and out of dock assignment. Thank you.

Excellent facilities, excellent staff, excellent location. In particular, City Marina does the best job I’ve ever seen in keeping enough dock hands on staff to always be available when you need one.

First class in every respect. Great people, attentive service, great docks. We'll be back!

Great dock facility, beautifully maintained. Easy docking even in high wind and adverse current conditions. The down side, the most expensive dock we’ve stayed at yet, along with the most expensive diesel.

Excellent Marina, highly professional personnel, good availability of multiple services and maintenance options. Definitely a good stop while navigating north or south bound the east coast.

Wow, what a Marina. The staff was incredible. Location is awesome. Definitely watch out for the currents, but everyone was very helpful. The accommodations and the Happy hours are a must on Tuesdays and Fridays. We will be back.

Always a great marina to stay at during the semi-annual migration.

by Andrew F. - Verified user on May 22, 2026
Absolutely fantastic. Terrific help at fuel dock and tying up. Very clean and professional place. Excellent shore power.

The staff at Charleston is always very helpful.

After an ocean run, they let us come in early. As I was approaching dock, I lost my propeller but the deckhand got us in safe. The management and services department were great help - getting a diver to us, helping us order the right part, letting us stay extra nights and finally after the boat had to be hauled, set everything up with their sister boatyard up in the Wando River. Fantastic people and fantastic service!

This is one of the nicest marinas we've stayed at, though at the top end of cost as well. All the folks are really nice, friendly and helpful. The facilities are well maintained. The shuttle to town, groceries and the like is a great feature that we took advantage of. Will stay here again!

by Brian S. - Verified user on May 18, 2026
SHCC staff is the best. Marina has a lot of current. Docking is challenging during peak flood or Ebb

Always a great experience

Excellent marina. Convenient courtesy shuttle.

by Kevin L. - Verified user on May 15, 2026
Very helpful and knowledgeable dock hands, shuttle is handy and the Tuesday happy hour a nice touch. My whine is how the pack you in. Such is life.
