Safe Harbor South Harbour Village

Very nice dock personnel and docks. No boaters lounge and bath house was adequate. Showers never got hot, but the area was heated!

Ian and his staff are top notch with excellent customer service. So much so that we made the decision after a 4 day ocean run with a not so great weather window going forward to leave our boat at the marina for the winter. A great place to stay with a great town and restaurants to visit. People are very friendly and the marina staff goes above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We will enjoy coming back during the winter!

Ian and his staff run a great marina! The service is first class. We had to change our dates many times and they made it easy. Very accommodating. You feel at home. We were on the face dock and wakes were minimal. Fueling and pump out at your tie up. Very easy. We hope to make this a regular stop on the way north and the way south. And Southport is a great place to spend some time as well!

I was a little surprised about the $10 fee for a pump out, but the staff was very friendly and helped my dock and tie up. I stayed a month for the monthly rate and they are petty cool about leaving a day later if the weather demands it.

We had a great stay at Safe Harbor South Harbour Marina while waiting out T/S Nicole. From the initial call to inquire about availability through to our departure, the staff were helpful, friendly, and professional. Brad, Ian, Todd, and the woman in the office (whose name I cannot remember) were welcoming and helpful. The dock was brand new and rebuilt with very sturdy looking pilings. We felt safe and secure during several days of high winds and rain. The laundry and bathroom facilities were clean and worked well. Laundry cost $1.50 per load and the machines worked well. Thank you for a great stay. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely consider treating ourselves to a stay at Safe Harbor South Harbour marina.

Our stay was one of the best marina experiences we've had to date. It's a great facility, well maintained and in a fairly protected area. The highlight by far is Ian the dock master and his crew. They are super helpful, amazingly professional and went out of their way to accommodate us and a number of other boats who rode out the impacts of Hurricane Nicole. Ian constantly checked on dock lines and boats, made sure people had extra lines and fenders in right places, offered suggestions about wind and current and generally were their answering questions before they could be asked. A wonderful experience and highly recommended.

Awesome crew. Very clean and updated marina with very nice showers, laundry and two decent restaurants.

Martin, the dock master was great! He was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions. A relief from a distressing trip the previous couple of days on the water. Easy to pull up to fuel dock. Facilities were nice but could use some air conditioning in the laundry room.

Outstanding staff and great food

Good dockhands and restaurant nearby. Italian place, recommended by the dockhand, was great!

Great marina staff with a couple of good Restaurent choices on-site.

Thanks to the great dock masters

Great, always friendly and courteous, Great marina chain.

Great staff. Friendly and helpful. Clean bathrooms and laundry facility.

Super helpful staff. Clean facilities and great restaurants nearby.

Good marina with helpful dock hands, Restrooms are single hole facilities, but are clean, and there's and "extra" bathroom should one be occupied. Most of the boat traffic obeys the "no wake zone", however some don't and it gets a little bouncy on the outer face dock where they put transients. They did put us on the inside of that dock so the waves were somewhat diminished. Rusty Hooks is a good restaurant. Didn't get to try Joseph's. Only down side is it's distance from downtown Southport.

What a great Marina. Brad and his staff are great. There are 2 restaurants (1not open when we were there-? weekends only). The only drawback was the bathrooms—structurally good but could use a little attention. Definitely a marine I would love to come back to.

Extremely helpful Dock hands and dock master. The inside of the face dock/Transient dock is very protected from the ICW traffic and very calm. Great spot for stopping when traveling North or South on the ICW with two fantastic restaurants right at the dock. An Excellent Italian Restaurant and a really good Bar and Grill with great seafood.

Like many other safe harbor every thing is perfect Crew is very nice and helpfull Everything is in order and clean Docks are very nice (amazing wood) A little of wake from time to time but not too bad compared to many other places The access is essay The current is moderate Can dinghy to the town Very nice

2nd time staying there for one night. Simple and easy as it gets, especially using the Dockwa App!

Well maintained, clean, like new docks and facilities. Helpful and friendly staff. We draw 7.5 feet and had no problem in the channel leading to the marina. Deep water on face dock. Convenient to grocery stores(2.5 miles). A very good experience, well worth a visit.

good docking experience. Helpful staff.

Great location, facility and staff.

Great help docking! Staff is awesome, docks well maintained. Two restaurants on-site. Taxi service to town, or take dinghy. Would stay again.

Nice new docks with excellent electricity and water plus fuel at your space. Really helpful staff.

Fabulous Friendly Fun AND great restaurants

Always a treat to stay here! Excellent dock staff, nice bathrooms and restaurants near by!

We spent a night here heading home. Two SHM employees met us on the dock to manage lines when we arrived. Fueled up, filled water and enjoyed a quiet night on the dock. Laundry and showers are clean. Docks are basically new.

Dockhands very knowledgeable and helpful. They knew what they were doing. New docks were beautiful, just the right height. Also fabulous restaurant right next to marina, Joseph’s. Worth the trip just for that

Mike, Ian, Martin and others are Awsome!

Absolutely FANTASTIC! We noticed there have been Lots of wonderful improvements and the guys helping us with our lines both on arrival and departure are so incredibly helpful! Looking forward to our return visit in the fall! Thanks for everything!

Great place Friendly people Great restaurant

From the moment we pulled up to the day we pushed off - we were greeted with friendly and helpful staff. Clean bathroom facilities and two awesome restaurants nearby. We had to get some repair work done #moselymarinemotors so this was a great place for our stay! Thank you!!!

Helpful staff for lines etc. the men in my party found the shower “dirty and not great.” Women’s shower was fine. Would be good if they had recycling capabilities. Somewhat shocking that they don’t. Sane for used oil…

The crew at Safe Harbor south Harbor Village was awesome. Super helpful, very friendly, and top notch professionalism. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

Great guys. Nice place. Eat at Josephs!

Great stay all around. Easy access, knowledgeable and helpful dockhands, beautiful spot.

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Nice facility, good location, helpful staff.

Dock staff fantastic, yes all new docks have GFI as new code, update your transformers!

Great stay. Excellent dock hands and facilities. This place makes me consider a membership

This is an amazing marina, with a great staff, and food onsite if you want that. The rest of town is a quick dinghy ride away. We found it to be an accommodating and very good place to stay on our southerly trek and will be coming back again.

We always love staying at SH South Harbor Village. Great dock hands, fantastic dock master. The facility has been updated after the past hurricane and it is beautiful. 2 great restaurants, various options for rides to services, provisions, propane and liquor at a very low cost. A marina that's easy in and out. A place to come back to again and again. SV Chanticleer Csy 44 walkover 5.6 draft

The new dock is lovely, but there is no provision for older boats with old systems. We were not able to use power at all. No rebate or reduction of price was made as the marina staff blamed Dockwa.

Great stay at safe harbor southport marina! All the dock help were all outstanding! Super friendly and helpful! Had dinner at Joseph's Italian Bistro and it was one of the best meals we've had on our journey so far. We will definitely be back!

Such a great marina! So well-run (Thanks Ian!) with wonderful staff, especially Jack. The two restaurants on site are terrific. Great docks and laundry. Easy in and out for fuel and or pump out. Can’t say enough good things about Safe Harbor Southport Marina and we hope to be back. -Scott and Tris GREEN EYES

Beauty marina with great restaurants. Can’t say enough about the dock crew!!

It's a beautiful new dock with the best staff and restaurants close by.

Great docking help! Next time we’re stay more than one night.

Staff is excellent. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Everyone on staff knows boats/ docking/ etc. very accommodating.

Outstanding harbormaster and crew! Excellent help with docking in wind and current. Great facilities with 2 restaurants on site. Also received a transient membership to the Cape Fear Yacht Club nearby, allowing us to join their happy hour. It was such a treat to meet members of the local boating community!

Super helpful dock master and dock hands. Very nice floating docks. Easy pumpout at slip. Fabulous resturant on site.

Excellent location on the waterway, clean facilities and very helpful staff! Nice Restaurant on the grounds! I always try to stay here

Great Marina! Nice location, friendly staff and great restaurant

Perfect spot. Lots of help docking. Early morning g assistance releasing lines. All went well. Thank you, Carl have

Ice clean Marina. Dock crew was great.

Great crew...nicest people on the ICW. Super clean maintained facility

The Safe Harbor South Harbour Village Marina was recently largely rebuilt and rewired. The face/fuel dock in particular is much stronger and stabler than it used to be. The heads and laundry are always clean, the dock guys know their business and the in-the-marina restaurant Fish Hooks is pleasent with a good bar and food a cut above the average on the waterway restaurant.

Dockhands were great. Italian food was excellent.

Super friendly staff and very clean facilities! We look forward to docking here again.

Great staff and service.

On behalf of our annual Military Appreciation Day (MAD) volunteers and active duty guests, we want to express our deep gratitude to the staff at the marina for their outstanding community civic mindedness in support of our annual event. As an all volunteer, 100% donor supported organization, we depend on the generosity of the local community and Safe Harbor South Harbour Village Marina definitely showed their local community spirit. Manager, Mike, Dockmaster, Ian and the dock staff couldn't have been more welcoming, generous, and helpful in making the facility available for our use and helping ensure a quality experience for our visiting troops. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the marina and are delighted to have it in the community. Hank Pomeranz, MAD Southport Chapter.

Ian Cummings, Jack and the rest of the team are the best. We ALWAYS visit here, as we enjoy the people as well as the great marina. Food is top shelf here too.

Nice marina great staff, two excellent restaurants next to Marina.

Deckhands tore off our stern railing. They had no idea what they were doing or how to dock a 70’ boat. Electricity not always working. Water not always working. 15 minutes from the inlet. Many boats going by. Wakes were noisy and kept us awake. The marina is under construction and looks nothing like the photos on the website. Would never go back.

Great staff and facilities! Facilities look great since rebuild from hurricane damage! Helped keep an eye on my boat through Tropical Storm Elsa. Thanks guys!

Great staff. Very helpful.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Floating docks just about all completely rebuilt after being damaged in last year’s hurricane Isiah. Fat Andy’s Burgers just a 45 minute walk, do it they are great.

Great marina and a great staff!! Quiet with two excellent restaurants just outside the marina gates!! Southport is a beautiful town!! A must see!!

Staff was great. The docks were brand new and really nice. Definitely a crowded overnight stop on the ICW. The staff gave us the number of a local driver who took us on a quick provisioning run. Would definitely stop again if we're up this way again.

Easy access from the ICW. AWESOME dock master and crew. Advised of current, wind, and approach concerns. Didn’t use the restaurants at the facility but they are highly regarded. Very nice location.

Crowded and no pump out installed yet -even though they advertised online as having one. Lots of construction. Nice staff. Friendly and helpful.

Marina is still under repair from a storm 2 years ago. Temp walkways, only dockage was on the outside of the T dock on a busy waterway.

Great place. Still recovering from Hurricane damage but they are trying hard to satisfy. No trash cans on the docks or anywhere on the property

We left a day early because we had to be on the T dock outside on the ICW. Rock-n-rolled all night long and no sleep. We had reservations well in advance and should have been told if they did not have a slip inside. I would not have gone if I knew we were going to be on the fuel dock outside. I would like credit for the second night as we left the Dock right after 11 AM on May 30. Will not go back there!

Very nice marina. People were friendly and helpful!

Great people great Marina--we came in late at night (8:45 PM) and they stayed and helped us into a tricky spot Tim

Good help on the dock, two restaurants on premises

Always one of our favorites! Marina manager, Bill Gregory, is the best of the best. The place has everything you need for an overnight or extended stay.
