Great staff but lots of marsh grass built up in the marina that attracts birds and rodents etc. Marina grass was maybe 70% occupied for the water festivals this weekend.

Expensive dockage. Very expensive fuel.

For some reason, the boxes did not fill in when I clicked on it. But, five stars - Awesome. Ended up staying much longer than anticipated due to engine problems. Staff, especially Kathy and Mike, were especially attentive, kind and sympathetic. Would recommend to other sailors.

Nice marina, in good shape as far as I could see. Professional, helpful people. Only ding would be the concrete pilings on the face dock. Have to watch out for them coming and going.

Great location right in downtown. Staff were most helpful, which is their best selling point. Facilities good. For some reason, their diesel price is a dollar higher than some other marinas, so we skipped refueling there.

This is a wonderful marina at which to spend some time, and the town is intriguing. Go there!

Staff was very good. when we arrived, they showed us our boat slip. Finger dock where we tied up was listing pretty badly - but not unusable

Power at pedestal went out at night. No one around to help. Ran batteries down. Pedestals are in poor shape. Had to find another solution at 4am myself. Docks in poor shape. Make sure you wear shoes else you will get splinters. Current along face dock is awful. There was space inside Staff was OK but not enthusiastic and attentive. Didn’t feel treated like a guest. Won’t stay there again.

Docks are tired, missing cleats and rough. Bathrooms are disgusting. Showers covered in black mold, 2 out of 3 shower heads broken off, soap dispensers broken off wall and laying on sink. Front gate is rusty. Whole place just looks tired. Dingy docks are full with dilapidated, half full of water boats without motors. And on top of that, they are charging $4/ft for transient dockage! This is my 1st, and last Safe Harbor experience.

great location next to town, accommodating help at the dock, be wary of the strong tidal currents.

Dock hands were the best. Great marina and great town. Wishing we had planned to stay another night.

Great Marina, great stay.

For you to charge nearly 250.00 for 1 night and be so rough, I wasn’t happy about it. Your people were wonderful.
by Louis H. on May 17, 2026
Do it Kathy and Lauren were phenomenal the day we arrived. They had no less than four boats are trying to dock at the same time they staged and staggered all of us to make an impressive docking experience.
Don’t miss this stop. Marina and town are one of the best in SC. Easy walk everywhere.

Nice docks and dock hands. Good location in town. Just a bit pricey.

Wonderful dock staff and great town to which this marina is very close proximity. Easy in/out too.
by Scott V. - Verified user on May 12, 2026
Staff super friendly, location great, bathrooms clean and fresh, docks looking and feeling a bit tired for the cost of a transient dockage.
