Thunderbolt Marina is conveniently located just outside Savannah on the Wilmington River in Thunderbolt, Georgia, at Intracoastal Waterway Marker #35 (ICW Mile #583) N 32° 01.467' W 081° 02.783'. There are no height restrictions when approaching from Wassaw Sound.
We monitor VHF Ch. 16, and Ch. 11 is our working channel. If you need docking assistance, please call us at 912-210-0363 before you arrive. All bookings or reservation inquiries must be made through one of our booking app partners, Dockwa or Snag-a-Slip. You will receive the fastest response from our Dockmaster using one of these reservation apps. Please contact us directly to discuss reservation requests exceeding 5 days. There is a 30-foot-per-day minimum charge for transient dockage. Optional shore power hook-up is not included in the advertised daily rate.
Note that the current in the Wilmington River can be very swift at times. You are advised to make approaches with your bow into the current with fendering and all dock lines, inclusive of aft and fwd running spring lines, ready for the dock attendant on duty. Please comply with all marina staff docking instructions while approaching our facility, as we are very interested in you having an uneventful and stress-free docking experience.
Thunderbolt Marina is just a short distance from Historic Downtown Savannah and provides a tranquil setting with easy access to our repair facilities with haul-out capabilities via Travelift and Syncrolift. Beyond the 3,500 lineal feet of available floating dock space, the marina offers several amenities listed below, assuring a comfortable stay.
Frank, the dockmaster, was extremely helpful. Right there to assist with dock lines and fueling. He runs a tight ship. There is a marine store in walking distance and an excellent low key restaurant, Tortuga's, that has really tasty local seafood dishes.
Robert W. - We are glad to hear that your stay at our Marina after exiting the shipyard proved to be an enjoyable experience. Honu is a unique vessel, and we certainly enjoyed having her on our docks. We have received many favorable comments on Tortuga's, so it's good to hear they still serve good seafood. Safe travels, and we expect to see you again in 2024!

So glad our facility met with your standards once again and that you are re-visiting us so early after your last stay here in June. It is an easy access, which is a massive bonus and one that is worth considering when planning an itinerary. We also hope that other visitors find it to be a clean facility - based on your recommendations! See you again.

NoReportThe staff at Thunderbolt makes this marina a 5. They are attentive, helpful, and nice. They offer a 2-hour loaner car which is super helpful for provisioning. Uber/Lyft runs about $13-25+ tax/tip to downtown Savannah each way.
Docks are floating and in good condition. The shower/laundry building could use a facelift. It’s really showing its age. It’s a 3 star portion of the marina.
We enjoyed our stay and visiting the local area.
How kind! Thank you. Always nice to get a 5 star rating, but a great review for any customers thinking of heading this way. Very informative which is truly appreciated. Upgrades are an ongoing process as you might imagine for a yard as big as this, but we appreciate your input and take note of all constructive criticism...and use it as a tool to reassess the needs and comfort of all our customers as best we can.

NoReportGood place for my dog to have easy access to grass, we never did get any doughnuts like so many others have said they got in their review though dang it!
We LOVE dogs - especially well behaved Owners! haha! So many of you travel with pets on board which means it's important to have an area they can enjoy off the boat - to stretch their legs and have a good sniff around. Donuts have not been available to our customers for quite some time, so reviews you may have been reading are definitely old. Much to the dismay of so many, the Krispy Kreme local bakery closed and the service is therefore no longer part of our operation. Our waistlines are better for it, but morale is lower!! It was a beloved treat for many, many years but like so many businesses, it could not stay open on this side of town.

NoReportSecond time staying here. Great marina. Loved the side tie right on the long concrete bulkhead. So easy in/out and it's a very short walk to nice grassy area for pets. Floating docks in great condition with 7' tide. Dockmaster Greg was terrific, helping us get tied up in very windy conditions. Stayed two days. They have loaner car but we didn't need it. We use our onboard baths, so didn't check the bathhouse or laundry. Very clean and well maintained with friendly staff. Large gazebo style deck with comfy seating. At $2.25 it was very reasonable compared to Savannah's usual high rates. They have maintenance facilities on site if needed. 4 block walk to marine store. Highly recommend.
Kind of you to give us such a high recommendation. We believe it is extremely important to be able to pull into a marina where the amenities on offer meet a certain standard of hygiene, comfort, value and easy access, It's also important to have great dock crew managed by a great Dockmaster. We appreciate your 2nd visit to us and are presuming you have a pup on board, who I hope also enjoyed the opportunity to check out all the "news" at every fence post or tree trunk!!!

NoReportEveryone at Thunderbolt was helpful and kind. The dockhands were great! The service department was able to get us in and out of the water to have some prop work done in a timely fashion too. There are a couple of good restaurants within walking distance (less than .5 miles). Between the service work, dodging Tropical Storm Debby, and more service work, we were in and out of Thunderbolt for about three weeks. The only reason for 4 stars is because of the FEES to do ANYTHING! We spent thousands there, yet they insisted on charging us for a pump-out, for example.
We appreciate your 4 star award and are happy that we were able to fulfill your service needs, despite tasks being sandwiched on either side by T/S Debby which took a toll on all of us - and complicated our schedule for sure! We do of course charge for all our services, as we believe most service industries do. Pump-Out fees are clearly noted on our TMI Welcome sheet in the marina office. We do our best to ensure that all pricing is transparent so that there are no surprises. We do hope that since you have had really only good experiences here, not just with our dock crew, our service departments and the local restaurants, you might give us another chance to win you over for that extra star! Best wishes.

NoReportNice Marina but the power pedestals did not work so we were forced to run our generator. Apparently the previous yacht also had power problems.
Hello Fred B. Since I do not know when you were here, I cannot vouch for the reason that the pedestal(s) were down and I wonder if the Dockmaster gave any explanation? With so many afternoon summer storms, it is not unusual for us to lose power now and then, but since we have an inhouse electrical/facilities department, we do all we can to get systems back running as soon as resources/priorities allow. I am sorry that your experience here was not worthy of 5 stars, but please know that it would have been addressed as soon as we were able - and that sometimes the delay may be that it was a weekend for instance, but once we are made aware of a problem, it is always short-lived. Perhaps you'll stop in again and maybe give us another try? Safe travels!

NoReportThunderbolt Marina appears to be a commercial Marina, but they treat recreational boaters great! We called on the day before a four day weekend in the summer, looking for a slip. Quick response. “Send in a request on Dockwa and we’ll hook you right up.” Not only did we get in but they let one of their mechanics come to my boat and replace the fresh water pump. A no-notice repair the afternoon before the 4th of July! And… they have nice facilities for transients that are located just off the dock. No need to walk a quarter mile to take a shower. The only negative is a wimpy WiFi. It kind of works. (I’ve yet to stay in a marina with ”good” Wi-Fi…)
They have a loaner car with several grocery stores and Walmarts or Targets quite near. And there’s a restaurant 0.4 miles away (called “Tubby’s.”). I had outstanding shrimp and grits and the Admiral had crab soup that was a killer.
The pricing was reasonable at Thunderbolt.
If you’re in the Savannah area looking for a place for the night, or even needing a repair, consider Thunderbolt Marina!
Gosh! Thank you. What a great review. Much appreciated. We prefer to take our bookings on Dockwa, particularly as plans can be made even if the office is closed and yes, lucky for you that there was a space on a holiday weekend - not just at TMI but in the area! It's definitely a destination. Wi-Fi is a big issue at any marina (as a boat and ex crew member, I'm well aware) but we do make adjustments/alterations etc to update our service and our connections. We are sorry that you found it to be a negative and we will endeavor to continue to improve on that service, but we are nicely situated here with wonderful views of the sunrise, peaceful waters, two restaurants in walking distance and a great marine store. The loaner car is an asset during regular business hours for quick errands and the fact that we were able to help you with a repair is testimony at how hard we try to accommodate all needs as/when resources permit. Maybe we'll see you again?!

A high accolade indeed Linda - thank you!

We are happy that you kindly pointed that out to any other potential customers, and equally happy of course, that you found the marina to be in good shape.

Dockmaster Greg gave clear instructions on approach and tied our lines according to the current. The facility has nice landscaping, and a parkette along the dock to walk the dog or is it to enjoy the view. The marina has a small shop, laundry, and private showers. There are a couple of restaurants nearby with good food at reasonable prices (Tubbys). If you need something else, there is a loaner car available. The morning after our arrival, the dockmaster checked in to see if everything was OK and if we were in need of anything. When we were casting off, he was there again help with the lines. Truly five-star service. Overall, we found Thunderbolt Marina to have a particularly friendly vibe and wouldn’t hesitate to go back again.

We felt at home during the weeks we spent there. Marina facilities are super clean, including laundry room and showers, courtesy car is just the cherry on the cake. If you’re on ICW it’s a no brainer to stop here, if you’re sailing on open ocean, the time to reach the marina from the inlet is a very small price to pay to enjoy the Thunderbolt atmosphere, the wonderful facility and its amazing staff. Draft never an issue even at low tide.

When they say “pet friendly”, they mean it! It’s almost park low to take your dog for a stroll. We will definitely stop again either coming home north or going south!

NoReportNice marina, it was our first time and just stayed 1 night. Dock staff were helpful Docks are in good condition. Will always be a little tricky getting in and off dock inthis location with strong current and wind. Did not use any of the facilities. Restaurant a short walk away

For future reference, we can always provide docking conditions and any recommendations by VHF radio or telephone. Our staff are trained to make our customers aware of prevailing conditions in an effort to make the experience at our Marina as enjoyable as possible. We are looking forward to having Beach Cat join us again!

Upon leaving Greg was right there to assist with fueling us and the pump out. Another exceptional benefit is the loaner car. We will definitely be back!!

NoReportDec 2021: Thunderbolt is pretty consistent. Fortunately, had Hal as dockmaster to help with the lines and check-in. Marina is clean and neat. Easy walk to a local restaurant.
Dec 2020: No change at the marina. Except the dock person was incredibly rude and obnoxious. Did not answer the radio when we called several times. Had to call by phone. Appeared ‘put out’ on helping us dock. Will consider a different marina next time.
Jan 2019: same holds true on marina and staff. But, amenities need work. WiFi was awful. One dryer malfunctioning and no sign indicating. The marina office was 95% empty of drink/food items/supplies. If this is to be a full service marina, need to step up your game.
We stayed at Thunderbolt for couple of days. The Marina was clean, bathrooms were clean, laundry room was clean but only one washing machine was available (other 2 were out of service). Staff very helpful. We also needed parts and service from Thunderbolt - all the personnel were wonderful. Had our parts within two days.
Dear johnsons3,
We are delighted to read your very favorable comment of our marina on this website, for which we are grateful particularly as we do our best to ensure that the overall appearance of TMI reflects the care we take with our entire facility. We are equally happy to learn that you found our staff to be helpful, since they take pride in their work and are as a result, an asset to us! We regret that only one machine was working in the laundry. This is not usually the case but highlights the necessity to check that all of our amenities are available to our customers at all times. Had we known, we might have been able to offer you an alternative but nevertheless, we hope it did not compromise your stay - nor we hope, will it prohibit you from stopping by again. We appreciate you taking the time to comment.
With all good wishes.

NoReportWe have been visiting Thunderbolt Marine, in Thunderbolt Georgia, for many years and it has never been less than excellent. Easy on and off fuel dock, clean heads and laundry and a short ride from downtown Savannah. Also, the current in the Wilmington River is very strong and the dockmaster (s) are excellent at making sure you get on and off the dock without problems.

NoReportRob was fantastic. Easy in and out, we stayed overnight on the T-head full dock. Krispy Kreme delivered right to your boat at 7am. My only issues was the wifi was very weak, even when I sat across from the marina office. I had a Zoom board meeting to attend and the latency was so bad I had to quit and call in on the phone.

NoReportWhat a nice stay! Rob is terrific and took great care of us. We stayed on the inside of the fuel dock since we're a power catamaran and we barely felt any rocking! So nice to not be waked!!
Having a courtesy car is such a pleasure. We really appreciate every marina that's kind enough to offer one.
Of course, the daily Krispy Kremes are something our hips wished we didn't partake of, but we still loved every bite!! LOL

NoReportNEVER AGAIN!! Stayed May 16, 2021. Called marina on ch 16. No response! Waited a few, called again. No response! Called on ch 11 (working channel), no answer. Called on phone, rolled to voicemail. Called again, voicemail. Called on 16 again, got an answer. Went to ch 11 and was told to come down and turn and dock at end of face dock. Wasn’t sure I was at the right marina so call on 11 again, no response. Found marina and turned but still no dockhand. Called again, and asked for docking help. Was told: I’m in the office. Your going into the current so you shouldn’t need help. I can’t come down for a few minutes. My wife has hand issues so docking into current can be a problem! Another boater help us dock. Checked in. Was given no info had at all. Had to ask about everything, WiFi, restaurants, password, showers. Was told the men’s room was “torn up, just use the lady’s room. No men’s room and lady’s room had only one working toilet. The second was was stopped up the whole time we were there. I helped three boats tie up. No help from marina! Krispy Kreme donuts? Never saw any. We left around 7:30am. Marina opens at 6:30 so thought donuts would have been early. They do have nice docks.

NoReportWow was pleasantly surprised great docks and dock master. Restrooms were very clean
Dear dspatio –
Your comment both intrigues and flatters us! I am hoping that you were pleasantly surprised by the tranquility of the marina despite being annexed to a major shipyard. We have made every effort to ensure the comfort and safety of all our visitors regardless of their dock assignment and/or their reason for being here. Sitting on the ICW with panoramic views over verdant marshlands, enjoying both sunsets and sunrises, is a luxury not afforded to many. We do hope you come back again – and find us to be as good or better next time, than this time! We very much appreciate your comments about the facility, and our wonderful Dockmaster.
With all good wishes. - Thunderbolt Marine, Inc.

NoReportOver all our stay way great. The staff was very supportive and easy to work with, bathhouse and laundry was spotless but my only serious complaint was the internet was spotty at best. It kept going in and out so if your work was not saved, it was lost. Watching movies or videos was painful as they stopped continuously to buffer and catch up. It is rough when you rely on quality internet and it is not there.

NoReportRob, the dockmaster helped me tie up, get my electricity hooked up, pointed out a couple local restaurants within walking distance and pointed out the laundry and showers/restrooms. I have never in my life seen a shower stall that was so big. So big, you could throw a party in it. Plenty of piping hot water and clean. Half a dozen glazed Krispy Kreme donuts were waiting on the deck of my boat for me in the morning. I don't normally eat donuts, but they were delicious and a nice change from my usual breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

NoReportEven though I didn't actually use Thunderbolt's services I felt like I had to leave a positive review for all of the help I did receive. I spoke to Karen a couple of times and she was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, due to the current situation they are obviously running on limited staff and have an awful lot of work to get to. She was able to offer me good suggestions and was very responsive in her communications. A great experience and I'm sure you'd be equally well served.
Dear chriskraska, We’re very happy to learn that Karen was able to help you make an informed decision given your itinerary and timeline and our own schedule. Like so many other businesses, we have faced difficulties during the pandemic restrictions but are working towards a return to normal – and we continue to make every effort to assist our customers as best we can under any circumstances. It is a pity you were not able to stop here with us, but perhaps you will consider us again if your travels bring you this way – whether for pleasure or for service work!

Dear kfsih, Thank you so very much! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in our Marina, where customers can enjoy not only the wonderful Krispy Kreme donuts but the wonderful vista our location affords our visitors here on the ICW. We are surrounded by verdant marshland, natural beauty and with relatively quiet river traffic. In fact, it’s so quiet, that it’s hard to believe you are sitting within a stone’s throw of our megayacht refit facility! We admit to having very limited supplies in our marina store, but we do offer a courtesy vehicle during business hours for all our customers to run quick errands – like grocery shopping, if needed. Please do visit us again! - Thunderbolt Marine, Inc.

Dear Dudkas, We are so glad you enjoyed our location. It’s true, we are not in walking distance to downtown Historic Savannah, but we are comfortably removed from the heavy river traffic, the noise, the crowds and the rushing current! We are very conveniently located close to two restaurant/bars, and a fully stocked marine store that serves not only locals and transients, but the superyacht industry too – so their inventory far outweighs anything we can offer.

Dear asline54,
We truly appreciate you taking the time to send a recommendation to Marinas.com about our facility. Our customer reviews on this site, are so often our best advert and can persuade a fellow sailor to stop in or to pass us by. We boast the beauty and serenity of our surroundings which is always a surprise to anyone who has not been here before. We are surrounded by verdant marshlands filled with wildlife like dolphins, manatees, otters and birds. Though situated on the ICW., it is surprisingly quiet and we are not affected by much boat traffic. Tubby’s Tankhouse is everyone’s go-to, and for good reason. It’s open daily for lunch and supper with brunch on the weekends and it often has live music. Please come back and see us again!
Best wishes.

NoReportNice docks on Wilmington river. There is a fair bit of current but the docks are all parallel to it. The showers and laundry are both quite good. The WiFi on the docks was not working for the first few days and was slow even close to the dollhouse. The signal strength was good but both Android and Mac devices wouldn't connect. The courtesy car was available both times we wanted to use it and it was great to have.
Dear hmscarth,
Thank you for your positive comments. We always welcome feedback from our customers as we believe that your own experiences are the most valuable tool we have for assessing our shortcomings. We very much appreciate your input. It’s disappointing to learn that you were challenged by the WiFi.
