Great stay very convenient to stores and restaurants Bethany was amazing she runs the docks and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful

Great spot for 50’ + on front dock. Current can be tricky, but it was going our way! Bethany & Christian we’re excellent to deal with! Thank you for the hospitality!

by Sharon S. - Verified user on Nov 13, 2023

We had a great stay! Bethany is amazing

Great Dock Master! Thank you Bethany!

by David W. on Nov 02, 2023
Dock and power were fine. It is a hike from the H pier to shore and the bathroom. Bathrooms were marginal. Only one shower worked. It was not cleaned daily. Upon arrival no one was on the dock to assist or provide information. Showed up 15 minutes later even though we had been communicating via VHF. Will look for other options next time we are in Charleston.

by Martin M. - Verified user on Oct 29, 2023
The people are nice but there isn't much here to recommend. The bathrooms are pretty grim, shower stall covered in caution tape. This marina needs some care and attention.

by Will T. - Verified user on Oct 27, 2023
Marina was very accommodating, Bethany went over the top to help is get situated. Will come back again

Great friendly service.

Our experience was superb. Very easy to find, fill up with fuel and unload luggage. The attendant was very nice and accommodating. We stayed at the Hilton which was very nice.

by Julian M. - Verified user on Sep 30, 2023
Britany the dock master is amazing and handled our needs with professional charm that only you can experience in the South, including a FedEx package going out

by Kay A. - Verified user on Aug 23, 2023
Nice Marina with good clean facilities, staff very pleasant but need a little training on how to tie a boat. Strong currents always make this a challenge docking and previously dockhands were proficient on this occasion not so much.

by Todd H. - Verified user on Aug 21, 2023
We had an excellent stay this weekend at the Harborage at Ashley Marina. The team was very helpful and extremely polite.

by Richard D. - Verified user on Aug 13, 2023
I was glad to see that they painted new markers on the docks however they need to paint the slip numbers on each individual dock piling. We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn a hundred yards from the Marina. We had 8 in our group and grabbed 2 dock carts to carry our luggage to the hotel. When we got to the hotel just out side the front door we were approached by a guy that said he was one of the owners of the marina. He said that we could not use the carts to carry luggage to the hotel and that the carts cost $400 each. What are the carts for? To carry your stuff to another slip or to meet a ride in the marina parking lot that is literally 100 feet from the hotel parking lot? Here is how it should have gone; "Hey folks thank you for staying at the marina. I am one of the owners and we appreciate your business. The carts are supposed to be used for ????, would you please make sure that you return them to the marina as soon as you unload. Thanks again for your business and have a great weekend!" As you can check we stay at this marina frequently, but there are many others for us to choose from in Charleston which is what we will do next trip to Charleston.

It would be nice to have a walkway at each end of docking. Maybe a elevated bridge?

by Patrick S. - Verified user on Jun 09, 2023
Great marina. Easy access. Very friendly and helpful crew Restaurants nearby

by Marc M. - Verified user on Jun 05, 2023
Super nice folks and good marina. Could not do laundry, machines took quarters and none around. While not a lot, could make this part of dockage like some places.

by Dale W. - Verified user on Jun 02, 2023
Great lication and friendly staff. This is our marina in Charleston.

by paul m. - Verified user on May 21, 2023
Helpful friendly staff. Free pump out. Nice neighbors. High tide after a storm flooded the parking lot and half the ramp to the floating docks. Washer is $2.50/load, no hot water, and dryer is $2/load. There are two of each. Bring lots of quarters.

by Stephen M. - Verified user on May 10, 2023
Such a busy and fun marina!!! Already booked some time in July to come back! Caleb and Bethany are amazing!

by John L. - Verified user on May 09, 2023

Excellent dock hands and good facilities

by PETER D. - Verified user on Mar 31, 2023
Excellent. Bethany is great. The slips are very nice. The shower/bathroom is clean. $10 to Uber into Town. And electric, 30amp is reliable.

by William K. - Verified user on Dec 03, 2022
Great stopover for a few weeks...with some time away, comfortable leaving the boat for a time. Easy to communicate with attendants throug Dockwa messaging. Also a helping hand when needed for fueling up and pumping out...both of which were available and convenient. Short enough walk to the Publix for groceries. Spots to overnight a rental car is a plus.

by Matthew L. - Verified user on Nov 17, 2022
Very friendly and helpful staff.

by Craig L. - Verified user on Nov 06, 2022
Good stop to see Charleston. Uber easy. Long docks.

by David B. - Verified user on Oct 22, 2022
Phil was great, nice and clean marina. Not the best spot for walking your dog but fuel prices are best in the area and they seen to always be able to get us a slip.

by Buddy N. - Verified user on Jul 30, 2022
Everything was great. The docking accommodations were nice and the staff was very knowledgeable and courteous. I would definitely use them again.

by Daniel S. on Jul 22, 2022
Bethany and her team were extraordinary!

by Ronald W. - Verified user on Jun 12, 2022
Long walk to bathrooms, pump out has not worked since November. Staff was very nice and helpful.

by Graham M. - Verified user on May 31, 2022
Very nice place, very reasonably priced considering the location and the price of the competition! Easy access to Publix. Wicked current coming in though, be careful if its not slack tide! Friendly and helpful staff.

by Steve S. - Verified user on May 21, 2022
Great place to stay, convenient to downtown Charleston.

by Gary B. - Verified user on May 19, 2022
Great location and Bethany is the best dockmaster ever. She really wants to make sure your stay is enjoyable..

by CJ H. - Verified user on May 12, 2022
Location, location, location! Spent a week here and it was quiet, had wonderful marina staff - friendly, helpful, and communicative; and as we love to walk, this location was perfect. No place we wanted to go was more than a 30- to 45-minute walk through beautiful historic areas. Only reason not five stars is that the docks are older, amenities (bathrooms) are basic, and pump out was broken - but nothing concerning, plus secure gates at night. Close to Publix and lots of Charleston's best places - RiverDogs stadium, Forte Jazz Club, and tons of restaurants and bars. Already ready to come back!

by Glenn T. - Verified user on Apr 20, 2022
Men’s shower em combo didn’t work. Had to use women’s shower. Wife guarded door. Current is terrible. Wouldn’t stay there again.

by Gregory S. - Verified user on Apr 20, 2022
attentive staff. Location handles weather much better than City Marina. Also less waking from passing boats.

by Chris M. - Verified user on Dec 08, 2021
Dock hands were professional. Current is wicked here and they wanted to put us in a slip. St our insistence, they acquiesed and put us on their face dock since it would not have been an easy docking experience.

by Elmer M. - Verified user on Nov 16, 2021
Great stay. Great staff. Only negative was pump out was down.

by Albert M. - Verified user on Nov 10, 2021
Our first time here. It is a bit further than City marina to get into to the city but not bad. May even be the same depending on where you are located on the mega dock. A very doable walk to a Publix. Bathrooms could use a renovation. Would come back again.

by Christopher B. - Verified user on Nov 01, 2021
What an awesome marina. The gentleman running the dock is first class. It really makes a difference when you are new to an area. I would definitely come back to this marina. 5 star marina.

by Kristine B. - Verified user on Oct 30, 2021
Fireworks at the bridge on our final nite was a treat. Generally quiet at the marina. 2sets of laundry but 0.3miles from dock to shore. Seeing rat traps on the docks were concerning but never saw a critter. Neighbors were very friendly. Pump out was not working and neighboring marinas would NOT reciprocate with their mobile service. Gated but often chained OPEN. Walking to down town area was long enough to Uber majority of our stay at least one direction.

by Mark L. - Verified user on Oct 30, 2021
Marina was okay, not great. Not much in the way of amenities but covers the basics.

by Wayde M. - Verified user on Oct 25, 2021
Stayed here for 8 nights was charged a night when we booked 2 weeks prior to our arrival. Upon arrival the remaining balance was paid. After we departed South our Credit Card was charged and additional $127.71. The office blamed a flaw in Dockwa system of charges. First time I ever experienced this with Dockwa. I think it's BS on Ashley Marinas end. WONT BE BACK HERE AGAIN!!! Besides the long walk down the Tdock the bathrooms weren't working nor was the pump out system. And only 1 washing machine was operable. Place went downhill since I stayed here last!!

by William H. - Verified user on Oct 22, 2021
Heads were clean and the dockmaster helped us get on and off the dock, given the strong current the help was needed.

by Neil G. - Verified user on Oct 22, 2021
Max was great and everyone we met was friendly.

by Chuck M. - Verified user on Oct 21, 2021
not sure why we were put in a slip on the extreme end of the marina with filthy docks while at least half the huge TDock(Face dock) remained available for our entire two night stay

by Dick H. - Verified user on Oct 20, 2021
Docks were clean, great help in docking, very calm water. All in all a great stay.

by Dave N. - Verified user on Oct 13, 2021
Dock staff was great. Washrooms were out of order. Breaker in dock pedestal was a little worn. tripped once so we reset and used less power. This facility will need some maintenance to keep it worthy of its great location in a wonderful city. s

Friendly professional staff. Secure location. Top notch. Will be back.

by Kathleen H. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2021
Docks are in good shape. Facilities nice but far from the T-dock. Dock hands helpful. No restaurant and situated in the medical district, so far from tourist and city attractions. Uber rude to town $20 each way, $30 on 4th of July.

by April S. - Verified user on Jun 30, 2021
Very nice stay. Dock hands are pleasant to work with. There's a Publix within walking distance and terrific restaurants all around!

by Rhonda C. - Verified user on Jun 28, 2021
I was really impressed with the security, but disappointed in my dock slip:( The other boat in our group was fine. In the future, I know to make sure that I confirm we have an entire slip. I was not even negotiating pricing, I didn't care. I wasn't looking for a bargain, I wanted my boat taken care of. Oh, we were given a credit, a whopping $11.50 each! That isn't what we wanted or was even asking for. For convenience and safety it was awesome, but I now know what questions to be sure and ask when booking because in the beginning I was led to believe I had a slip for "each boat".
Marina Response:
Carter Family- We appreciate the kind words as safety and convenience is our number one priority. Just a reminder that marinas are able to book according to demand (busy holidays) as long as it is safe and convenient for boat transients and guests. During your next stay, please don't hesitate to utilize our seasoned dockhands to assist with getting in and out during business hours. If you are ever not sure on docking and launching within the marina, we are always glad to help. We look forward to you staying with us again soon!

by Jeffrey H. - Verified user on Jun 09, 2021

Great marina with nice wooden floats and great dockhands as well . Very close to Publix supermarket .

by Anthony B. - Verified user on May 11, 2021
Great team! Worked hard to be sure we were safe and secure...Will is the best!!!

by Larry D. - Verified user on May 09, 2021
I was at this marina for three nights. It needs a makeover and needs to set minimum expectations for the boats who use it. There were a lot of boats with decks covered with junk, boats that clearly are never moved from the docks and boats so dirty on the outside that the inside must be a health hazard. Every cement piling was covered with chipped and peeling paint. Slips are not clearly numbered. With numerous marinas in Charleston, I will be trying somewhere else on my next trip through.

by Rush S. - Verified user on Jul 19, 2020
We had a great time. The deck hands are very helpful. Would have been 5 stars if the showers and baths would have been clean.

by Scott V. - Verified user on Jul 19, 2020
Recommend limiting the number of ice bags a boater can get. 2 days in a row marina was out of ice as a commercial fisher bought all the bags in the cooler leaving none for anyone else docked there.

by Tanya G. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2020
The slip was conveniently located for our purposes. The ice was a bit expensive but I guess you pay for convenience.

by Christopher D. - Verified user on Jul 05, 2020

Nice marina for Charleston. The waters were calm there and it’s a dog friendly place

by Allen B. - Verified user on Jun 23, 2020
Excellent communication when I requested my reservation. The docks are in great shape. Fuel dock was well staffed.

by Jamey T. - Verified user on Jun 08, 2020
We have stayed here multiple times an the staff is always very professional and courteous. I will always stay here when I'm in Charleston.

by Michael W. - Verified user on May 29, 2020
Location is really the primary strength of this marina. It did allow us to explore Charleston by bicycle very well, and that was what we wanted to do. There is also a new Publix (grocery) that is within pretty easy walking distance. The docks were floating, but just in OK condition. The showers were messy enough we chose not to use them and we are NOT that picky. The internet was hit or miss. We had the necessities (power, water, and a dock) in a good location for Charleston, but I would say that was about it. The dock workers were nice and considerate, which is always appreciated. The marina just needs some updating/attention. Bike racks were overloaded with old, rusty relics with flat tires. I would stay there again, but just expect the basic essentials. The location makes it worth it.

by David M. - Verified user on May 15, 2020
Always a great spot to stay in Charleston.

by Paula R. - Verified user on Mar 04, 2020
I really like this Marina. Much smaller scale than the City Marina. Dockhands are helpful. Easy pump out. I know they recently installed a new WiFi system, but it still isn’t great.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry our wifi system did not meet your expectations. We pay to make sure it reaches every vessel. Please contact our dock office if you have any issues. 843-722-1996.

by Richard A. - Verified user on Nov 13, 2019
I have stayed here over the years. Nice staff and facilities. Nice that they will provide a ride downtown with their van. Nice showers.

by Michele J. - Verified user on Oct 21, 2019
The marina was great as well as the staff. Our only 2 issues were the Pump out being down; and not really much area ( if any ) area for taking a dog. They are a pet friendly marina too. ( I have a very little dog and don’t need much )

by Jim L. - Verified user on Oct 06, 2019

by Carroll J. - Verified user on Jun 25, 2019
We had several 20 - 25’ boats on a one night stay. We all paid for slips however we ended up stacking 2 boats in one slip. I would have expected to have a reserved spot for each boat.
Marina Response:
We’re sorry our marina did not meet your expectations. We do offer smaller vessels to share finger slips at a discounted rate when occupancy is tight. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 843-722-1996.

This is our second year of comimg to this marina which is clean and beautiful however this year the staff was not very friendly and did not make you feel very welcomed but that comes with any job and will not prevent us from comimg back next year.

by Debra H. - Verified user on May 03, 2017
We told the Dockmaster we. We're inexperienced with currents when he gave us instructions for coming into the Marina and had advised there were strong currents. He proceeded to direct us to a slip and sent a young man to the dock to meet us. The current grabbed us and pushed us into two other boats causing damage to our boat. I begged the dockhand to help us or to find someone who could and he responded there wasn't anyone who could help. Apparently, he was only there, waiting to catch a line. Two. Others came over and advised us to stop and wait for slack tide and then move the boat. We hired a resident boater to move our boat to a face dock. Hmm. If a face dock had been offered in the beginning this whole thing would have been avoided! Later heard this Marina has a reputation of being called "Crash"! The resident boater said he helps others 2-3 times a week who have the same experience. Good to know--too late!
Marina Response:
We’re sorry the marina did not meet your expectations. As you explained, we try to advise all arriving vessels of the present conditions of the river. It is no secret that the Ashley River and Charleston Harbor are capable of having strong currents, and it sounds as if the marina did its job in advising appropriately. We try our best to assign slips based on the conditions to make it as easy as possible for vessels, but sometimes space is limited. We rely on the vessel’s captain to communicate any hesitations when giving slip locations. We utilize our facedock for larger vessels that cannot fit into slips. Depending on the vessel size and duration of their stay, a facedock assignment is rarely offered.
