Mark the GM and Michal dockhand/ Dockmaster is very accommodating and friendly, this safe harbor Skull creek has to be one of my favorite ones yet! Very clean, organized and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend any boater of any size in the ICW to stop by. -Christopher M/Y Tatou

Nice place with excellent staff. Just one aggressive acting dog to pass otw to the showers, but he would not jump off his boat. Showers are nice with great pressure!
Marina Response:
Thank you for coming to stay with us Phillip! We are aware of the dog you are referring to and we will talk to the owner regarding this issue. Safe travels!

Very nice marina and friendly staff in a great location. Skye did a great job tying us up in a strong current and gave us lots of great info about the area.

45' sail catamaran; 25' beam; 5' draft; 70' air clearance; one husband, one wife, one young child, and two small dogs. We were on our way to Chesapeake Bay from Fort Lauderdale, when Tropical Storm Debby (Aug 2024) gave us chase. Rather than risk getting caught out somewhere around Cape Hatteras, we decided to tuck in at Hilton Head at the last minute and wait out the storm. Because of the uncertainty of the ever-changing forecasts, we did not know how long we would be there, and how bad the storm would be. Also, Hurricane Ernesto was forming in the Caribbean, and we had no idea, whether we would have to sit that out, too, or if it were going to spin off toward Bermuda. TS Debby arrived a day later and then squatted immediately offshore for THREE days. Everyone at Skull Creek was helpful and friendly, and they accommodated our ever-changing schedule professionally and courteously. The marina is missing rubber bumpers on some of its floating docks—easily dealt with, if one carries spare fenders—but the cleats are oversize and well spaced. It is an easy bicycle ride to grocery stores and a Walmart. To get to other attractions on the island, you probably will want to hire a taxi or rent a car. The current is strong at the marina for a few hours between tides, and the approach from the ocean against an outgoing tide can be tedious. If it is possible to time your approach to ride an incoming tide up the channel and arrive at the marina during slack, then definitely do it.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the kind review! We are glad you all were able to wait out the storm here with us at Safe Harbor Skull Creek! We always try to keep our transient slips complete with rub rails and will be replacing the missing one we noticed while you were staying with us! We hope you all can stop back by the next time you are passing through!

Dates: July 15 - 18, 2024 LOA: 48' Beam: 15' Draft: 3'4" Skull Creek has nice floating docks and is easy to get to, being right on the ICW. Good depth on approach and in the slips. The staff and dock hands were excellent. This one is a perfect destination for golfers. They have laundry and showers on site. Walmart delivers here for groceries. Uber is available if you want to venture out to restaurants.

Very nice folks. Clean bathrooms. Plenty of space and parking too
Marina Response:
Thanks Brad! Come back to see us!

The Marina was good. There is not a store, food etc. so plan your trip accordingly. Tyler was awesome upon arrival and we felt our boat was safe during the overnight hours.
Marina Response:
We are glad you felt safe! Due to us being located in a gated community, we have an extra layer of protection for the marina. However, that also means that we are a couple miles from provisions. Please come back to see Tyler and the rest of the team!

The dockhands were great in helping us as we approached in the current. And Mike and Marc were very helpful in offering suggestions when we departed. The docks and pedestals were in very good condition. It was not a problem getting a taxi/uber in to town.
Marina Response:
Thanks Peter! We are glad you had an enjoyable stay here and even got to explore around the island some. Come back to see us!

Very nice marina with great concrete floating docks. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The fuel dock was well placed and easily accessible.
Marina Response:
Thanks Charles. We do pride ourselves on being an easy in and out marina. Safe travels!

Well-maintained docks and facilities. Easy approach from ICW, plenty of dock carts, convenient auto parking. Bath and laundry facilities were clean and well maintained. Staff very helpful and professional. Only problem which cannot be helped is the long walk to shore for auto or dog walk. We always come here on our ICW passages.
Marina Response:
Thanks John for taking the time to write out this review! We are glad you came back to see us and hope to see you on your way back south

Marina Response:
Thanks Ken! We are glad you enjoyed your stay here and it was an easy trip in for you! We appreciate your kind words and hope that you stop back by!

One of our favorite marinas. The staff are amazing and made us feel very welcome. They always had a treat ready for Timmy, our dog. We loved that they have a filtered water machine near the office to save on plastic bottle use. They also have two push bikes and two electric bikes to help you explore the bike friendly neighborhood. We loved walking the area too. Uber or a rental car would help you make the most of exploring Hilton Head Island.
Marina Response:
Thanks John! We are glad you were able to enjoy our amenities and the Island! We hope you and Timmy come back to see us on your way back down.

Courteous staff and nice, modern dock. Also decent protection from the currents compared to others in the region. Look forward to the power pedestals being able to provide 2x single-phase 100 or 3-phase power on a future visit.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your kind words regarding out docks and our crew! We look forward to future upgrades as well! Safe travels!
