Thunderbolt Marina

Friendly Staff. The Dockmaster Forgot Name) was exstreamly helpfull. I would go there again.

No more Krispy Kreme donuts-they closed up shop

Thunderbolt has changed! GREG is now there. He was helpful, conscientious and caring. We were about to use another facility but now will be back to Thunderbolt because of GREG.

Called same day after being stuck the night before for wx. Gary is a great communicator and fit us on a holiday weekend! Friendly, clean, professional, secure and easy in/out. 5 out of 5

A truly well run marina with great staff, especially Greg, nothing is too much bother. Would definitely stay again.

We were very well taken care of by Joe and Greg who assisted in getting some engine repairs on our way from Bahamas to Gloucester, MA. WW Williams are good diesel mechanics. Got us on our way in 1.5 days.

Very nice stay at Thunderbolt. Great views from face dock.

The people there were all very pleasant. Pump out wasn’t working.

We really enjoyed Thunderbolt. Docks are in excellent condition. Hal was a great help on the Dock. Courtesy car available to run a few errands. All the facilities were very clean. Only downside is that the WiFi is lousy

We had a wonderful stay at Thunderbolt Marina. Greg assisted us docking under some windy conditions. The Marina and facilities are neat and clean. We will definitely be back.

Good people everywhere!!

Excellent Marina staff and service, very accommodating. The service yard looked at and addressed three issues on our boat and executed a repair promptly and effectively.

Pleasant marina. The dock master was there for us upon arrival and very nice overall. I would stay here again!

Good and clean place good facilities and car available, 4 stars because the day we arrive there was a storm and we didn't sleep at all on the face dock with 2 ft wave, second night was fine

Thank you for the courtesy car, clean facilities

Great stop on our way north. Nice facilities. Walking distance to restaurant. Courtesy car.

First class facility. Can’t speak enough positive words. We had engine problems. They did everything to get us settled in and for the mechanic to be there on time. All worked out perfect. The facility is spotless.

No one met us at the dock. Nice to have a curtesy car but no booking system. It was as if everything felt like too much effort, especially Hal seemed very disinterested.

Excellent facility and a great value.

Greg was great! Helpful and friendly! Enjoyed our stay.

Staying at Thunderbolt is always great! Great staff, great service! Showers, laundry, project managers if you need them, Krispy Kremes. Thunderbolt takes care of its guests.

Harbor master top notch. The facility is clean and maintained. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend to all this is a good place to stop.

Very nice facility with helpful staff.

We are giving 5 stars for the most pleasant gentleman that helped us. I believe his name was Greg. Even though he was really busy he was kind & helpful.

Great again! We find it very relaxing & the staff super nice. The loaner vehicle is a huge plus. Also close to Savannah. Will return. TY

Great facility\nDockmaster went to great lengths to accommodate our needs\nAlways a great stop.\nWill be back

Good facilities, clean restroom and Krispy Cream donuts in morning complimentary. We didn’t need it, but no one on dock to assist in docking.

Not very friendly or helpful staff. No information provided nor gate code.

This place was amazing! Everyone was so helpful and the donuts were hot! They are full service including a canvas shop which does absolutely AMAZING work! I can’t thank them enough

great stop on my loop

Nice amenities. Competent docking assistance on often tricky waterway. Reasonable price. Wifi could be improved.

Nice facility and folks. However, could not raise dockmaster on vhf or phone for docking. Boat owners and yard mechanic came after I sounded horn.

Excellent marina and very friendly staff Love the doughnuts! A special treat from this marina❤️

We had a very pleasant stay for one night here at Thunderbolt. Shower was clean and roomy, with doors instead of mildewy curtains. Disposable paper mats would be a great help in the shower. Rob was very helpful. We were so looking forward to the promised Krispy Kreme donuts that we did not receive , that we considered using the loaner car to get some. Reason prevailed as we remembered the delicious desserts we had the previous evening at Tubby’s.

In our opinion, Thunderbolt has fallen. Pump out not working, diesel pump looks like scrap metal, staff don't always answer the radio. The plusses are that bathrooms are clean and walking distance to Tubby's where food is good and reasonably priced.

Very good place. Have to stay extra night

Good location. Professional yard

Dec 2021: Thunderbolt is pretty consistent. Fortunately, had Hal as dockmaster to help with the lines and check-in. Marina is clean and neat. Easy walk to a local restaurant. Dec 2020: No change at the marina. Except the dock person was incredibly rude and obnoxious. Did not answer the radio when we called several times. Had to call by phone. Appeared ‘put out’ on helping us dock. Will consider a different marina next time. Jan 2019: same holds true on marina and staff. But, amenities need work. WiFi was awful. One dryer malfunctioning and no sign indicating. The marina office was 95% empty of drink/food items/supplies. If this is to be a full service marina, need to step up your game. We stayed at Thunderbolt for couple of days. The Marina was clean, bathrooms were clean, laundry room was clean but only one washing machine was available (other 2 were out of service). Staff very helpful. We also needed parts and service from Thunderbolt - all the personnel were wonderful. Had our parts within two days.

A great marina. Very clean. The bathrooms and laundry are very nice. The staff was friendly and helpful and on hand to help with docking. Will definitely stay again.

This is a great facility in a great location. Good Dock, nice bathrooms and laundry, nice grounds. Easy walk to restaurants, and delivery available for many things.

Facilities were good. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. How can you complain when you get Krispy Kreme donuts delivered to your boat every day? Courtesy car was nice amenity. Only issue is wifi only works consistently up near office. Easy Uber to downtown Savanna.

Friendly, accommodating dock crew. Perfect place to stop.

We have stayed here several times before. The facilities are clean and more than adequate. Easy docking and friendly staff. Great access on the ICW. The only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5 is that the internet was less than adequate when we were there. But we will be back.

We have been visiting Thunderbolt Marine, in Thunderbolt Georgia, for many years and it has never been less than excellent. Easy on and off fuel dock, clean heads and laundry and a short ride from downtown Savannah. Also, the current in the Wilmington River is very strong and the dockmaster (s) are excellent at making sure you get on and off the dock without problems.

Dude was wicked grumpy...refused to help with fueling...refused to help with dockging. we were on on own. Covad is tough on all of us folks but come on!

Great stop with easy Uber access to Savannah. Rob, harbormaster, was there for arrival and departure if assistance is needed. Laundry/restrooms get 5 stars.

We enjoyed our stay at Thunderbolt. It’s an easy walk to the nearby restaurants. Rob at the Marina was very helpful and we enjoyed the added treat of fresh donuts in the morning!

Staff was super helpful. Loved the Krispy Kreme donuts every morning and the fact that they have a loaner car is GREAT!!

Rob was fantastic. Easy in and out, we stayed overnight on the T-head full dock. Krispy Kreme delivered right to your boat at 7am. My only issues was the wifi was very weak, even when I sat across from the marina office. I had a Zoom board meeting to attend and the latency was so bad I had to quit and call in on the phone.

What a nice stay! Rob is terrific and took great care of us. We stayed on the inside of the fuel dock since we're a power catamaran and we barely felt any rocking! So nice to not be waked!! Having a courtesy car is such a pleasure. We really appreciate every marina that's kind enough to offer one. Of course, the daily Krispy Kremes are something our hips wished we didn't partake of, but we still loved every bite!! LOL

NEVER AGAIN!! Stayed May 16, 2021. Called marina on ch 16. No response! Waited a few, called again. No response! Called on ch 11 (working channel), no answer. Called on phone, rolled to voicemail. Called again, voicemail. Called on 16 again, got an answer. Went to ch 11 and was told to come down and turn and dock at end of face dock. Wasn’t sure I was at the right marina so call on 11 again, no response. Found marina and turned but still no dockhand. Called again, and asked for docking help. Was told: I’m in the office. Your going into the current so you shouldn’t need help. I can’t come down for a few minutes. My wife has hand issues so docking into current can be a problem! Another boater help us dock. Checked in. Was given no info had at all. Had to ask about everything, WiFi, restaurants, password, showers. Was told the men’s room was “torn up, just use the lady’s room. No men’s room and lady’s room had only one working toilet. The second was was stopped up the whole time we were there. I helped three boats tie up. No help from marina! Krispy Kreme donuts? Never saw any. We left around 7:30am. Marina opens at 6:30 so thought donuts would have been early. They do have nice docks.

Dock master very helpful with windy tie up. Directly off ICW. Courtesy car got us into Savannah. Krispy Kreme donuts delivered to boat every morning. I would stay there again.

The staff was friendly and helpful, the doughnuts were very nice the only way it didn’t help was the waistline. Thank you

Nice hot showers. Good short run to town. Quiet and friendly. Quick fuel. Yes I got the donuts.

Always a great stop.

Donuts were a great way to start the morning. Superb staff here. Easy to dock and go.

Wow was pleasantly surprised great docks and dock master. Restrooms were very clean

Over all our stay way great. The staff was very supportive and easy to work with, bathhouse and laundry was spotless but my only serious complaint was the internet was spotty at best. It kept going in and out so if your work was not saved, it was lost. Watching movies or videos was painful as they stopped continuously to buffer and catch up. It is rough when you rely on quality internet and it is not there.

Rob, the dockmaster helped me tie up, get my electricity hooked up, pointed out a couple local restaurants within walking distance and pointed out the laundry and showers/restrooms. I have never in my life seen a shower stall that was so big. So big, you could throw a party in it. Plenty of piping hot water and clean. Half a dozen glazed Krispy Kreme donuts were waiting on the deck of my boat for me in the morning. I don't normally eat donuts, but they were delicious and a nice change from my usual breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Very helpful folks… Very comfortable facilities!

Great staff!! Good docks, easy to dock in current with dock master assist and easy to depart without assistance. OMG Krispy Kreme donuts at your door when you wake up!

Even though I didn't actually use Thunderbolt's services I felt like I had to leave a positive review for all of the help I did receive. I spoke to Karen a couple of times and she was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, due to the current situation they are obviously running on limited staff and have an awful lot of work to get to. She was able to offer me good suggestions and was very responsive in her communications. A great experience and I'm sure you'd be equally well served.

Good stopping point heading north - clean restrooms and showers!

Great Dockmaster, clean bathrooms, very quiet last night, yes-we got Krispy Kreme donuts No Charge to our boat in the morning 👫🛥

Nice people. Beautiful sunrise with Kristy Irene doughnuts delivered to your boat. Short walk to Tubbys Tankhouse for a nice dinner. Definitely would stay again. Clean, small, a little more in the store would be my only suggestion. We walked a mile to a convenience store for eggs and milk.

Nice Marina. Rob is helpful and informative.

Great spot. You would need a ride to downtown but it's worth it. No ships store but there is one 1/2 mile down the road that has everything. That was amazing.

Great stop, very friendly staff eager tohelp in any way. Clean marina, excellent floating docks, higher up than most made it easy to get on and off the boat. The courtesy car was clean and available.

Excellent service. Very nice docking facility

Friendly, full service marine. Beautiful views and unexpectedly quiet despite its location on the ICW. Definitely make the 1/4 mile walk to Tubby’s Tankhouse for local seafood fare.

Quiet, clean, really wonderful staff! Can't wait to come back through in the fall to enjoy Savannah a little more, and also to have those wonderful Krispy Kreme's each morning!

Very attentive staff and great facilities. Hot Krispy Kreme donuts arrived at the boat at 0700. Wonderful!

Spent a wonderful weekend there, quiet time of the year. The staff could not be more helpful, bent over backwards to be of assistance ! Knowledgeable about the area and although the giant red fish eluded me I will be back to try again..

Nice docks on Wilmington river. There is a fair bit of current but the docks are all parallel to it. The showers and laundry are both quite good. The WiFi on the docks was not working for the first few days and was slow even close to the dollhouse. The signal strength was good but both Android and Mac devices wouldn't connect. The courtesy car was available both times we wanted to use it and it was great to have.

Excellent stay at Thunderbolt Marine. Great amenities to serve the transient liveaboard boater. Would highly recommend this marina. The newly remodeled clubhouse was very nice and the loaner car was a big perk. Southern Hospitality at it's best.

Good marina, easy access right on the ICW, can walk to a restaurant but quite a distance from Savannah (we had a friend with a car, but you could also get a rental car here if necessary). Laundry and showers were well kept. Free wifi available near the office. Nice bonus:Krispy Creme doughnuts delivered to your boat each AM (unless you decline them!).
