Great marina and awesome staff.

This is our 3rd stay at Palmetto Bay Marina. We tow our 24' boat (Looney Bin) from Virginia for week-long stays and enjoy the convenience of renting a slip instead of repeated launching & trailering. Great location central to HHI's west side for day trips north or south or quick runs over to Daufuskie Is. Friendly & knowledgeable staff - always attentive & helpful. Convenient fueling at good prices. We'll be back again next year!

I just left Safe Harbor Palmetto Bay Marina. I was there for a month. Tony runs an excellent Marina. This place has risen from the devastation of Hurricane Matthew and now is the newest and best marina in the Hilton Head Area. Only thing missing is paper towels in the 3 very clean restrooms. The electricity was totally adequate for my 75 ft Marlow, even at the end of a long dock. I will be going back there! Thanks for your service, Tony

Everything was great once we got the boat checked in. It was a little confusing on where to go once we entered the marina to check the boat in. Need better signage!

by Dwayne P. on Jul 25, 2023
We spent a week with our 24ft pontoon in a slip at Palmetto bay. Staff and the accommodations were very nice. I would highly recommend staying here.

by Wesley g. - Verified user on Jul 24, 2023
The facility did not meet my electric needs and what they did have kept tripping breakers all the time bathrooms were dirty and generally not a good place to be I will say the staff was very kind and courteous
Marina Response:
Wesley, Thank your for your review. When seeing the 1 star review this morning I looked into your reservation. It appears you have a 25 ft boat and stayed with us for 3 nights. Regarding the electric, we have ample power throughout the marina that services a 100 plus boaters on a dialy basis with no isssues. The power pedestals and electric system is new and required by "code" to have the new GFI breakers on the power pedestals. These new GFI power pedestals are more sensative than the older ones but are required by code. If the breaker was flipping this would have been a result of an electrical issue on your boat. Please note, that I just credited your electrical charge which will be reflective on your credit card shortly. Regarding the bathrooms, we have new bathrooms that get serviced twice a day. This time of year we have a tremendous amount of traffic, so of course there are unforeseen times that may occur when they are not as cleans as they should be. Regarding your comment of "generally not a good place to be", I do not really know how to repsond. We have spent much time and money redeveloping Palmetto Bay facilites as well as the marina. I am sorry we did not live up to your expectations.

Super facility. Bathrooms and showers are new, and the laundry is free. The dock hands were really helpful and had us set up and checked in in less than five minutes. There are three restaurants on the property. We would definitely stay here again.

by william h. - Verified user on Jul 10, 2023
The stay was good. The dock was convenient, although it took a while to get in and get out due to the length of the no-wake zone. The employees were very helpful. The only down sides were I never could get the boat repair shop to answer the phone about some work I was considering getting done and also, there was not a shop where you could get ice and bait for your fishing trip. I was nearby, but the nearest live bait was off the island which added an hour to your trip each day, if they had live bait. I wound up catching some with my cast net most of the time.

Great stay! Helpful and friendly staff! Marina has a few bikes to use. Quick bike ride to grocery store and a few restaurants in walking distance.

by Paul C. - Verified user on Jul 03, 2023
Attentive staff. Our complaint is that they advertise 30 Amp service but then cannot provide due to shortage of adapters forcing the boater to travel to find one at his expense.

by Monica T. on Jul 03, 2023
Modern dock and electric. Complimentary laundry facility with 2 modern larger washer and dryers. 4 clean bathrooms with shower stalls. Complimentary dockside staff assisted pump out service. All of the marina staff were friendly, courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. Attentive staff assisted with with adjusting dock lines in inclement weather. There is also 3 restaurants on site. The only negative is there is a busy channel beside the marina.

by Dave D. - Verified user on Jul 02, 2023
The new electric grid on the outside dock did not provide a consistent voltage so our air conditioning would cut out at times. We were limited to one A/C at a time. The weather was hot, but there should have been ample voltage to prevent low voltage cut offs.

by Jeffrey C. - Verified user on Jun 18, 2023

The New Docks and facilities are great. High quality and well done. Certainly, the newest docks in the Hilton Head area and one of the best docks for larger boats.

by Dennis L. on Apr 09, 2023
Excellent marina, clean bathhouse and laundry rooms. Staff was always eager to help out. Lots of things to do there, boat tours, jet ski and dinghy rentals. 3 restaurants on site and plenty of safe bike paths to take you where you need to go.

What a awesome place to visit. Trailered my boat from Indiana. Rented a dock space for the week. They answered all my questions for a first timer in salt water. Will be back again. Very clean and experienced

by David B. - Verified user on Mar 17, 2023
Docking was easy and Sean was there to assist - much appreciated. The complimentary pump out is a great service - and they came right away. I think that the restrooms should be supplied with a soap dispenser and towels or air dryer. Minimally, a hand sanitizer should be available.

by Joe R. - Verified user on Mar 01, 2023
We arrived in Spring of 2022. The marina had just been rebuilt, and the WiFi was just getting started. Over the past 10 months, we have watched the staff grow the marina into a fantastic experience! The docks are amazing, with almost 12' of clearance on the pilings during King Tides. Electric is brand new and clean, water quality is very good. A few months ago they finished and installed the restroom/shower facility barge as well, which really helps. They also added a pump out boat for convenience. The restaurants on site are excellent, with choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an out music bar/restaurant as well. They do get occasional wakes from he Hage Point ferry boat, but nothing substantial enough to cause concern. During high winds down the fairway against the current I saw nothing substantial in terms of wave action like you see in some marinas with a long fetch in one direction. They are adding more fuel pumps on the new transient dock. Fuel prices have been good as well. They have a lift which can handle 50 ton boats and I believe the max beam is 19 feet? They have exceptional gel coat workers there which did some work for us. They have dolphin tours, wave runners and Watersports there as well should you wish. There is a trolley stop nearby to go around the island, but the marina also has free bikes. It's about 15 minutes to the beach by bike. Overall, we love this marina, and have booked our future reservations here already, as this will become a very popular marina in the future.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the kind words! One of the greatest things about the business we are in is the people we meet, we’ll always find a spot on the docks for you guys!

by Scott H. on Feb 03, 2023
Docked here for two months this winter- liked the Marina so much we are staying there again next year. The docks are brand new, great laundry facilities, showers, etc. The Marina is great dog walking, bike riding, and great walking paths including cool hiking paths in the woods. It’s close to good restaurants and good food shopping. What makes the Marina special is the staff. Kai, Tony and Patrick are true professionals and surround themselves with good talent. The entire crew is professional and fun to be around. We highly recommend this Marina.

Clean bathroom facilities. However, needs paper towels and hand soap at the sinks. Staff is extremely helpful. Pump-out boat will come to you nearly as soon as you ask for it.\nRestaurants nearby are good too. Grocery and pharmacies are less than two miles away. If you have a bike, the Hilton Head bike trail system is the eighth wonder of the world! :-)

by Ron F. - Verified user on Dec 31, 2022
Still a few more repairs needed (transition from shore to the docks has been temporary plywood for many months), but the staff is extremely friendly, and the floating docks, power, and WiFi have all been great.

by Patricia S. - Verified user on Dec 09, 2022
Great marina, helpful staff. New restrooms and laundry facility. Overall, a fine marina, BUT why are the shower heads so high? I’m 5’3 and had to take it in the face thoroughly my whole shower as I couldn’t even reach the head to redirect the stream. Great water pressure, by the way! This particular part of my stay at Palmetto Bay was material for a Seinfield episode. 😅

by Tanya D. - Verified user on Dec 05, 2022
It was nice enough. Nice docks. However, the bathrooms are severely lacking - no hand soap, no hand dryers/paper towels and toilet paper not replaced. We boaters rate marinas not only on their docks but especially their facilities. Thank you.

by Todd H. on Apr 22, 2022
Initially I was not going to leave a review because sometimes folks just get it wrong. So here is some constructive criticism: just answer your phone and radio. We called four times, hailed on 16 six times, yelled to a guy washing his boat and were informed that they work on 10. Four hails on 10 that were not answered either. We yell to some folks on the dock and they helped us with our lines and were very nice. I found out they had the same communication problem as us, which is unfortunate. When the Harbormaster came over I told him the same as what I just typed above. His response, "well, my radio is always on". Maybe it's a volume problem...
Marina Response:
we are sorry you ran into that issue. Thats not the norm for us and we usually manage to surprise people with how accessible we are. We typically answer the phone well into the night and its not at all uncommon for us to be there to help with lines well after dark. Our staff typically carry a cell phone and a portable radio in addition to a base station in the harbor office. All that said, we apologize we didnt meet your expectations and if you give another chance in the future perhaps we can make it up to you.

Beautiful new docks. The bathroom and showers are planned for a floating dock - IT IS NOT HERE. Showering on the boat - no problem. Except the pump out was not working. The travel lift/ramp area is under construction and could take years.
Marina Response:
I understand your frustration with the above not being completed. Unfortunately, the construction has taken much longer than expected due to delays in material and labor. The travel lift will be completed by April 28th and the transient showers, bathrooms, and laundry will be completed by the end of May. Once again, I am sorry for the delay and hope you will give us another chance in the future.

It was a great stop for 2 days. We met up with friends who shuttled us around the town. The docks are great and dockhands very helpful and knowledgeable. There are new slips being built on the north/west side which should double the marina. The only downside is that the bathrooms are shared with the restaurants. I was told that when the new slips are finished they will have a bath house barge. Otherwise, this was a great stay for a great price.

The marina was very clean and the staff were helpful. The food at the blue marlin was great and the bartender Josh was excellent! The downside is there is no shower or boater reserved restrooms. The worst part was the electrical. You cannot run two 30 amps on the same pole and the GFIs were only 30 amps and extremely sensitive. That is they continually flipped. If this were fixed I would have given it 5 stars.
Marina Response:
Hi Craig we’re sorry you felt that way. On the bright side we have a beautiful new barge coming with brand new showers, restrooms and laundry facilities! It’s enroute so should be here any time now. As far as the electric is concerned there’s no problem at the pole running two 30amp outlets, all of our pedestals are brand new and have the proper ground fault protection. We typically have an electrician available to track down any issue you might be having so you can have the problem rectified for all the newer / updated marinas you choose to stay at. Let us know next time you’re in town and we’ll help you get it fixed.

Docks looked brand new and the staff was great. It’s a bit of a trek to groceries or laundry since Uber/Lyft and taxis are in short supply right now. The current can get pretty strong so take that into account when you’re approaching the dock.

Dockhands did an excellent job helping me tie up and took care of all my needs (diesel and a pump out). Multiple restaurants on the property.

We have been EXTREMELY happy with our stays at this marina! We have had a need to be very sporadic with our stays throughout the month and the staff has been more than accomodating especially as they are very busy. They have always made room for us and have been exceptionally friendly and helpful. The marina itself is very very nice. We LOVE this marina and will continue to stay here in the future as we are in Hilton Head all the time.

Great place and friendly people. Clean, well equipped location Launching ramp is right next door Making it super easy and fast to launch a boat and bring it to the marina. Great restaurants are located there as well. I would highly recommend this location. Deep water access as well.

We're only 1/2 mile from the Intracoastal Waterway, located in the heart of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We can easily accommodate vessels up to 150+ feet.

We're excited to have completed our multi-phase restoration project at Palmetto Bay Marina. All of the facilities have been fully renovated including docks, wifi, integrated power supply, showers/restrooms, fueling stations, patio areas, and more. We’re seeing lots of boats from the loop this season making their way to the island for great weather and a slow-paced attitude.

Our location, tucked inland, provides 22 feet at low tide making an ideal stopover for larger vessels, sailboats, and catamarans. No height restrictions and wide hulls are welcome.
