Great hospitality from the staff.! LOTS of current makes getting in and out a bit tricky. Very nice showers and heads. No on-site restaurant or bar and nothing with walking distance

Marina Response:
Thanks for the review Bill. We'll be adding a restaurant in the near future. We hope to see you again soon!

Overall good but not great. We were placed between two boats almost twice as big as us so we couldn’t even see the sky. There were also a number of poorly maintained boats on our dock which were bordering being eye sores. The courtesy car was very good and the laundry and restroom were good however overall for the price per foot charged we expected more. We probably will not go back.

Marina Response:
Keith, thank you for letting us know. The dock staff had quite a few boats coming in that night & an almost full marina. Due to weather/wind & conditions movement of the current at the time of your arrival, they made a judgment call to put you in a slip that would work best based off of those factors. We are sorry to hear you were not pleased with your stay. If you'd like to give us another shot next time you're in town, please reach out to E directly so we can make it right. [email protected] Look forward to seeing you in the future. Thank you!

The crew at st Johns yacht harbor could not be more on point! They were very helpful and made special accommodations to help us out when we had mechanical failure. The pool is immaculate and the showers are like a massage. I would go back any time I had the chance. Thanks st Johns yacht harbor!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at St.Johns. Adam was incredibly helpful and very clear with his directions making our arrival really easy. He was also there to catch our lines when we arrived. We used the courtesy car for provisioning and once again Adam pointed us in the right direction to the stores. The facilities are excellent, very clean with individual showers. The marina also has a pool,bbq and fire pit it looks like the owners have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable.

I always try to give everyone a fair review. With that said everyone, there is very nice and professional. The marina is clean and they have a nice little store with great washers and dryers. However, we requested a T head because of the current and we were told that were no T heads available, upon arrival at Slack tide, they tried to put us in a slip that we could barely fit in. After attempting dockage in that slip, they did put us on an available T head. Beware of the current it is strong.

They go above and beyond. The marina contacted us to see what time we were arriving to be able to choose a slip based on current conditions and then we were met by a top-notch dock crew. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

The best! First visit to the Charleston area and contacted St Johns Yacht Harbor for an overnight stay. Reservation process easy, entire staff very friendly and efficient. Had an unexpected breaker issue onboard but the staff went over and above to help us solve the problem. Cleanest shower house I’ve seen on our trips on the ICW between now Charleston and Ft Moers Beach! Don’t miss staying here!!!

Very nice marina with a friendly staff and well maintained facilities. They have both floating and lift docks, as well as a pool, grill, and fire pit for slip-holders and transients to use. They also have a courtesy car for transient guests. We really enjoyed kayaking through the marsh passage (at high-mid tide) and kayaking/dinghying up the ICW a short ways to a public launch where you could tie up and walk to Earthfare for groceries. We also enjoyed kayaking/dinghying over to the local waterfront restaurant a short distance from the marina. We also enjoyed taking the dinghy or bicycles downtown or over to Mount Pleasant to visit friends at the resort or take a tour of the USS York Aircraft Hanger & Museum. Please keep in mind the currents are very strong on the Stono River and it is highly recommended to wait to dock until slack-tide to dock the larger vessels. We didn't have any issues docking the kayaks or dinghies, but if you're not aware of the strong (6 knots) of current during your approach you will be caught off-guard. You will typically see several vessels anchored just outside the marina that are waiting for slack-tide to dock and it is highly recommended that you follow suit and wait with them.

Recently booked a one night slip that turned into over a week due to engine issues. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating; help with local mechanics, use of courtesy car and overall easy to work with. We would definitely return if we pass that way again.
