Dock hand team led by Bob were fantastic. I was single handed and docking on my port side due to strong current. They guided me in perfectly and were able to reach my pre-staged lines. Fuel was right at the dock. Rusty Hooks restaurant was very good with great portions. Showers were nice and clean. Will stay again and again.

Last minute change by the marina was annoying. We were in the process of parking into a side tie to a slip when the word came “we’re changing you to a slip to get another boat in”. Otherwise all was fine.

Marina Response:
Thank you for the honest review John! We apologize for the change upon arrival. We are in the height of transient season and often have to make changes to try and accommodate our fellow boaters. I sincerely hope you were able to enjoy the rest of your stay, and if you decide to stay with us again, feel free to let us know what type of dockage you prefer and we will do our best to accommodate. Wishing you nothing put a safe voyage!

On 10/3/24. The young lady that checked me in was very knowledgeable. The boat steering went out approaching the dock. After safely docking and securing the boat. She directed me to the best and closest place to acquire the items I needed to make repairs. She briefed me on the amenities of the marina. She continually checked back to make sure that we were able to make the repairs. With employees like her. I will be back.

Marina Response:
Thank you for the honest and kind review! We are so happy to hear you had such a positive experience with us and that our team was able to help you with your mechanical issues. We understand how stressful it can be to have things go wrong while traveling. We look forward to seeing you again!

Dates: July 26 - 29 LOA: 48' Beam: 15' Draft: 3'4" Nice, well cared for marina. The staff is all very nice, helpful, and accommodating. Be warned there is a strong current when coming around the fuel dock to the inside of the marina for the slips. We managed with twin screws, but slack tide would be much easier. The dock hands warned us to come around at a 45 degree angle to avoid a shoaling at low tide. Pump out is at the fuel dock, so plan on doing so as you come or go. Two great restaurants on location to choose from - a "big deck" energy bar and grill, and a quaint Italian restaurant that is only open for dinner. Both are worth stopping at. Uber is not available in this small town and the marina is far from everything. The dock office has a list of taxi companies to try if you are needing to head into town at all. While we were there, the mens room was having the floor redone, so men were having to wait in line for the handicapped / family restroom to shower on shore. The women's room had two stalls and a shower and was very nice. We didn't use the laundry but they do have it on site.

Stayed from 30th-14th. Docks are fantastic, staff were friendly and professional. Facilities were excellent and always clean. I would have given a five star, however when I booked i was told I would be on the inside face dock. Reason for me was not being exposed during the fourth. When I arrived I was told by staff that the inside was booked. The inside was never booked and for most of my stay it was empty. I was never offered to move. So many people in Southport didn’t observe the no wake zone. For this reason I would probably skip this marina and opt for somewhere else. It just seems that they don’t get what true customer service is. Don’t get me wrong. They were very nice and professional. Not sure why they never even offered.

Marina Response:
Thank you for the honest review William! I am glad you found our staff to be so welcoming! We understand the wakes during the high season can create some unfavorable conditions. I'm happy to say we have just installed multiple very large no-wake signs in the hopes of reconciling this issue. As for the inside vs. outside of the transient/fuel dock. I see that you have a 9' draft. This would be the reason why you were not offered to come inside the marina. We do not take vessels with more than a 7' draft inside the marina due to this being the maximum amount of clearance our facility offers during low tide. We go out of our way to provide the absolute best customer service possible, if you are not being offered something I can assure you there is a reason for it. Again thank you for the honest review, safe travels!

The staff is awesome 👏 and the marina is clean and secured. They are renovating the restrooms so that is a frustration right now. We were placed on the outside pier so boaters going to fast and a strong South wind make for a rocky, noisy sleep. Suggested cabs etc are easier to get than Lyft.

Marina Response:
Thank you for the review Brian! We appreciate the kind words about the staff and I will be sure to relay your compliments to them! We understand the restroom renovations are an inconvenience, this is why at the moment we are not advertising having these facilities available. We are nearing the end of the process so we hope you'll stay with us again once we are back to normal. Safe travels!

Well run outfit. We were met by to employees to help tie up. Marina is clean and quiet. Though it is directly on the ICW, it is in a no wake zone that is honored for the most part. We were on the outside of the transient dock and were quite comfortable. Joseph's, an Italian restaurant just off property, is incredible.

Safe Harbor SHV was nothing short of amazing! They were attentive in all aspects, beyond knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond as we need a new pump. We made life long friends with people at the restaurant they recommended and the driver that they recommended became family and we even had breakfast with him before we departed. MAKE THIS A STOP IF YOU CAN!

Great staff. Very helpful on the docks. Nice floating Docks. Only one functioning restroom apparently due to renovation. There was a restaurant on site. It was fine but expensive, considerably more than they listed on their website. The location of the Marina is very quiet and scenic, but quite a ways from town. The town was enjoyable. Fuel cost was middle of the range. Pump out was convenient and $10. Positive experience

Even before our arrival we knew this was a wonderful marina. We had sent packages of parts to the marina to be there upon our arrival. Scam texts had us fretting our packages were unable to be delivered, but "Hope" in the office, assured us they were arriving. A wonderful welcome of friendly helpful dock hands upon our arrival. Met some of the other sailors and wow, the boating community are amazing people :) Shower was hot and had wonderful pressure. Josephs Italian Bistro was delicious :) Used Billy's Ride Sharing, which was prompt and pleasant as I got a ride to the Food Lion to provision. The dock set up (long dock) was easy arrival and departure. Did experience quite a brisk current one morning.

Ian (Dock Master) and crew could not have been more helpful. We came into the marina in high winds. Ian guided us through the inlet and had us safely secured without a problem. We ended up having a current issue with the boat when leaving in the am-Ian came in (early) to help us get out of a tough situation safely. He and his team r personable and professional-we r truly grateful for alll they did for us while we were there.

Ian and the crew are top notch. They really knew what they were doing when we came in during high winds and a strong current. The facilities are nice and convenient to the docks. There are two very good restaurants right off the grounds and a gorgeous park about 1/4 mile away. Town is a short drive away, which is a bit tricky. No Ubers around and sporadic taxi availability. Not walkable. The current was strong when we left at 6am the next morning and our friends got sideways and wedged against three boats. The crew came to the rescue and pulled them off with their workboat. They refused tips offered by our friends. We would stay here again.

The dockmaster and staff were very helpful. Because of impending severe weather, we requested arriving a day early and staying an extra day. No problem. When we had an issue with the dock pedestal power, the dock master issued us a refund for the electric usage.\nNot sure if there is a captain's lounge with coffee, book library etc. That would be nice. The shower facilities could use a bit of updating and expansion, but then I am spoiled with my home marina's facilities.

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.

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.

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.

Marina Response:
Mr. Flynn I am sorry you experienced electrical issues during your stay. I'm not sure if it was explained or not but during our rebuild our electrical system was brought up to the new National Electrical Code (NEC). This has caused breakers on our docks to trip due to a bonded ground issue (neutral/ground tied together) on a boat. We typically will refund however, I have asked Dockwa to refund your electric charge because the reservation is over a month old. They just informed me that it is done. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and hope that you stay with us again. Please reach out to me if you have further questions or concerns. Ian-Dockmaster.

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.

Marina Response:
It was our pleasure, Hank. We were happy to see the excited smiles of the young service members as they boarded their assigned boats for a day of fishing. MAD Southport Chapter put on a well organized event and we thank them for their year-round efforts in putting the event together. Thanks also to the boat captains who volunteered their boats, time, and local fishing knowledge to make it a day that these active duty personnel will remember for a lifetime.
