Superb dock masters gave us great attention. I mentioned, on arrival, an issue with my tender outboard. Within the hour, Tony had it fixed! Great marina.

Great stay in late April for 3 night. Docking was easy as docks are parallel to current. Very convenient to restaurants. We borrowed the marina bikes and went to the coastal museum 5 stars) one day and to the beach and Publix the next. Hilton Head has extensive bike and walking trails. Nice bathrooms, free laundry, fuel and pump out completed the amenities. Enjoy snowcones at Chris's and view his Lego collection. Sean gave expert direction on exiting Broard creek at marker 31. We saw no less than 10 feet on a rising tide.

Courteous dock attendant but do not answer the VHF. The showers and facilities were clean. There are restaurants on the property. Very convenient and the food was good but the exterior is dirty and in need of updating! Prefer Harborside Marina over this one though.

great dock hands, good bath facilities though the codes were not reliable. One worked well though. Great bar and restraunt facilities. A fair value for sailors.

Great staff and super clean marina.

by Lea S. - Verified user on Mar 02, 2024

I used the Marina twice in seven days for purposes of attending to an engine oil leak. The docks, showers and laundry were all current and kept clean. Sean and Tristan were engaging and helpful in docking. Palmetto Bay is on my list for marinas to use in the future. Returned as part of my journey north. Good service, nice facility, and pleasant boaters

Great marina and great staff and awesome dock-master Tony-calls for a pump out are responded to quickly and efficiently.

by Thomas L. - Verified user on Feb 25, 2024

Excellent service, we could not have been happier with the professionalism of the staff or the accommodations.

by Scott H. on Feb 11, 2024

Docked here for two months this winter- liked the Marina so much we are staying there again next year. The docks are great, 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, Sean 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.

Would love to stay here again. Tristin was amazing. The black marlin smash burger did not disappoint. The best service I think I’ve ever seen. Team work ! And made customers feel very taken care of !

About Palmetto Bay Marina

Palmetto Bay Marina, featuring all new docks and amenities, offers boaters the safety, convenience, and comfort of a full-service marina on the warm Carolina coast. 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.
