The marina was only open till 5, but Tim from the marina stayed until we got there, a 1/2 hr late. The marina supplies bikes for you to tour the island, which is free of charge, they were brand new bikes, which was great!! Played golf, course was beautiful!! The only negative was the No-See-Ums, they were everywhere, prohibiting us to being outside on the boat!

Marina Response:
Doug, thank you sop much for the review! We really strive to provide our guests with the best possible service we can offer. Very happy that you enjoyed the bikes, as well. As far as the No-See-Ums, we have a secret weapon - Neutrogena SPF 45 spray on sunscreen. Works better than any other method we've tried so far!

We had a great quiet two night stay at Dataw Island Marina. The dock hands were very helpful and knowledgeable. The Morgan Island Grill was very tasty. Must try their Mahi Mahi! Did not experience any boat traffic passing by at night. Fully Recommend! Will be back for sure! Thanks Y'all!

The harbor master and dock crew provided excellent service. The transient dock is easy to access on incoming and outgoing tides. We had a very good meal at the Morgan River Grill and they have a nice wine selection. To top it off, there’s a full service marine repair facility.

We had just come from another golf course community further south. This is nice (but no comparison) , but we had trouble getting full 50 amp power at the end of the dock to run our air conditioners. Fortunately, we carry a power booster on board so it wasn't an issue. My main complaint is trash cans. There are 2 for the dock up the ramp. A sign on them says "No pet feces". However, there is not another trash can anywhere on the grounds. Really? I picked up my pet waste and walked next door to the Boatyard to dispose of it in their dumpster. A lady yelled at me and said " It is not for public dumping!" I showed her my little bag and she repeated her warning. I walked over to the other dumpster and walked away. Great dog walking, but then what? We won't be back.

Wonderful spot slightly off the beaten track. Friendly helpful staff, nice floating docks, great restaurant, clean bathrooms/showers and good place for walking. No provisioning nearby. Will stop here again.

Great stay at Dataw. Much smaller than the old marina, but just as cozy and the view is as beautiful as ever. Great, great restaurant right off the docks. Marina staff was outstanding from the minute we arrived until we left.

Great stop. Excellent crew to help get the boat secured in windy conditions with some current. Quieted down very nicely in the evening for a good sleep. Highlight of this place though is the community and golf course to ride bikes thru, and the Historic Plantation ruins to visit. Very hospitable people. Lack of pool and spotty wifi means it doesn’t warrant 5 stars, but in every other respect a very good stop.

Less than five miles off the ICW. Three helpful dockhands hurried to the gas dock as we approached. Diesel was well priced and we got a 10% BoatUs discount. We thought the slip was a bit pricy for a quick overnight but when we walked around the resort we saw why. Many amenities including a nice restaurant and an indoor pool and hot tub. Beautiful grounds and homes on the golf course. I took lots of nice photos. It would have been nice to stay longer. Downsides were no Wi-fi at the docks and no pump out.

The island is beautiful. On-site restaurant is excellent. Wifi not available and our power cables barely reached to closest tower. If you're looking for a beautiful spot off the grid this is a must stop.

Great marina for those who like peace and serinity. My husband and I lived here on our 53' trawler for over a year. We found the staff to always be friendly and helpful. The boatyard mechanics are very knowledgeable with both power and sailboats. The restaurant food and atmosphere are outstanding and the island itself is incredibly beautiful.
