Safe Harbor South Harbour Village

This is a great stop along the ICW and the staff here is excellent. The Dock Master, I believe Kelsey? Was attentive, friendly and accommodating. Bob took extra good care of us while we were there, providing local tour guide recommendations. Accommodations are somewhat modest but the staff more than fills the gaps. The added bonus, Joseph’s Italian restaurant is amazing! Don’t miss this stop with our new friends at Safe Harbour South Harbor Village.

Great crew, facility, and ambience. Absolutely love this place and counting the days for our next stay!!

It was a 1 night stop to fuel up and to have a restful night. That it was the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The marina itself is in great shape with 2 very nice restaurants m.

Excellent customer service and wonderful to visit everyone is always nice and welcoming, clean facilities and well maintained

Just a quick overnight stop

Very helpful and accommodating. I could not ask for more . I love staying there .

We absolutely LOVE spending time at this marina! Everyone who works here are so incredibly helpful and friendly….they make staying here such a pleasure! We also love going to Josephs Italian Bistro within walking distance….one of our favorites! Thanks again so much for a wonderful stay and everything you all do! It is very much appreciated! See you in the Fall! ❤️ Chuck and Karen Koehler S/V MAX Newport, RI

Our experience was stellar. We were greeted upon arriving by three experienced line handlers on a windy day. Thank you

Great people. Nice facilities!

Great staff. We will be back!

Great staff and facilities! We greatly enjoyed our time here!

Great stop. Great staff.

Nice Place Nice People. Great restaurant (Joseph's). Negative... bad power on 30A pedestal tripped twice. Told staff but I had to move the connection to 50A and use my own adapter, otherwise would have been 5 stars

The marina is nicely equipped and well kept, but it's the staff that really shines. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and well taken care of!

The staff and the marina are all great, wonderful spot and convenient spot for us to stop in.

Awesome knowledgeable and friendly staff. Very helpful. Great docks easy to dock even in tough conditions. Nice facilities with 2 good restaurants. Lots of spots to walk the dog and a dog park a short walk away.

Outstanding marina! Docks and facilities are modern, clean, and well maintained. Location is great. The staff is responsive, attentive and accommodating. Can’t ask for anything more from a marina. Look forward to returning.

Late arrival, very warm welcome. Fabulous staff, super helpful, and a lovely setting with great food on campus.

Great staff, friendly and helpful.

Just a shout out to Bob,Addison and Brad S for helping us tie up our boat, get fuel, and pump out on a COLD February day. Great service-thanks!!!

Facilities were new and nice. People were friendly. Restaurant on premises. Lived up to the Safe Harbor brand.

Professionals on the docks. Easy in and out. Joseph's Italian restaurant was top notch.

Professional, courteous and friendly dock staff.

Friendly staff Clean amenities

Very nice marina. Good floating docks and Super friendly staff. It’s unfortunate. Joseph was closed Sunday night, the one night we were there.

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! Hands down this is one of the absolute best marinas! Looking forward to our return visit in the fall! Thanks for everything! S/V MAX

Excellent clean, friendly, attractive.

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.

Excellent facility, super friendly and competent staff

Excellent and friendly service. Bob and Martin were beyond helpful and courteous. A very friendly community. We will definitely be back!

Staff was awesome. Very helpful. Thanks dockmaster Andy.

Nice stop enjoyed our stay. Wish they had more key fobs as we had 3 pax and dogs and only one fob. Had to beg for an extra one which we hit otherwise only one person could leave cost at a time. Otherwise all good

Greta service and a very professional staff

Helpful staff clean facility nice floating docks

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Clean and secure.

Kelsey and everybody on the dock is fabulous! Always there to help and do whatever is needed. Can’t wait to be back in the spring.

Great staff! Always look forward to staying with them. Kind, considerate and very helpful! Great team 😊

Safe Harbor always a safe bet, staff very helpful, even helped us get to car rental agency for emergency trip home.

Great dock hand help. Bully’s Ride Sharing was fantastic too with ride to Walmart and Food Lyon - waited for us at each stop and a very reasonable price. Josephs for an absolutely fabulous Italian dinner! Great stop!!!

Excellent facility. Good water depth. Welcoming people and two restaurants. Already on list for return stop.

We idled in after becoming somewhat disabled, we were met by Kelsey and the crew here at SH South Harbor and could not have been treated better! Great docks, facilities and people make this marina one of our favorites! Thank you all!

Great stop. Staff is wonderful. Great Italian food at Joseph’s not to be missed.

Great staff. In slip fuel and pumpout. Restaurants on site. Great ride share service from a local to get around. Perfect stop, just watch current which runs parallel to their transient face dock.

Great facilities and excellent dock hands

Very nice people and a nice stop. Two restaurants on site and you can visit the local Yacht Club. Clean with nice floating docks

Great service. I was having a mechanical issue on board and they were a big help. While they don’t provide repairs they provided easy docking etc.

Awesome staff, beautiful clean facilities.

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.

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.

The gang was super helpful and friendly. The docks were great. And the food at the Italian restaurant was awesome!

Well kept, Great Staff.

Dock master was terrific!

5 days on the face dock at this wonderful Marina! The dock crew is fantastic and the facilities are very nice. There are two very good restaurants on site. We plan to stay again. 9/30/24 - Another 5 day stay and another great experience! Once again the dock crew was awesome and the restrooms and showers have been remodeled. The on-site restaurant was excellent.

The perfect marina! Everyone was very helpful and the amenities were clean and well maintained. Looking forward to my next stay!

Very well run and maintained facility. Outstanding customer service!

We always enjoy our stays at this marina. Dockmaster Kelsey and her crew, Ian and Bob, were very helpful to s as we got in, hooked up and settled. It’s a great facility. And we were invited to the YC for drinks! Five stars, for sure.

Nice facility, good location, helpful staff.

Great staff. Very friendly. Clean facilities

Staff was fantastic and marina super clean as good as it gets

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.

Great staff supporting us after a pretty difficult tow. Very patient as we sorted through repairs. Facilities are great, restaurant on site!

Nice facilities and great people. All very nice and helpful. We’ll be back.

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.

Nice quiet marina. Easy access. Clean and newly refurbished restrooms. Dock hands are great!

Dock hands were excellent. Laundry area and baths were very clean. The water pressure was fabulous and laundry was $1.50 to wash and dry. Overall, a very positive experience. Would definitely stop here again.

Very nice facility. Great customer service.

We loved the marina and the near by restaurant. The crew at the marina were so friendly and they made us feel right at home.

Everyone was excellent. Especially Andy!

Great, helpful staff. Close to restaurants.

Ian and his crew are great knowledgeable people. They are attentive and very helpful. Not our first stay and definitely not our last.

Really nice place with good facilities and knowledgeable staff. We will stay there again.

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

Really nice marina! Awesome staff!

Awesome stay at this marina. The dock staff was so helpful and even drove us to the supermarket!! Super nice docks and facilities. We enjoyed eating at Rusty Hooks, and loved Fishy Fishy downtown Southport. We will be back!!

Awesome hospitality and service by Pete and Jack! Not only did they reach out to us by phone to check on our arrival time, but they stayed late to make sure we got tied up safe and secure. Very friendly! THANK YOU PETE AND JACK!

Safe Harbor Southport is great. Staff is superb. Two restaurants onsite. Easy trip to downtown Southport. Very dog friendly.

I love this place staff is wonderful and helpful. we have been at 2 others last year the experience were bad both Safe Harbor's the power went off at 7.00 pm and no number to call and it was 40 degrees outside. not fun running your generator and not getting a refund for the electricity. this place with showers Restaurant and more.. oh and a dog walk near by. all is well here. CR

Great stay. Two very good restaurants on site and the staff was excellent.

This marina has the best people! I was sailing alone made a late reservation got a confirmation within 30 minutes… I arrive late to the marina ( 1h15 hour after closing time) they waited for me to help me at my arrival. I was so greatfull after 14 hours of navigation Thank you I will definitely choose this marina every time I will travel and pass by there

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.

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

I’m a singlehanded sailor who needs help landing The staff at Safe Harbor South Harbor was perfect in both landing and castoff in tricky currents and depths

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

This marina, while remote from the Village of Southport is all you need. Great staff, clean marina, nice floating docks, two restaurants, laundry on site. The creek just next to the marina is perfect for a scenic dinghy ride.

The staff were very friendly and helpful but with only one working bathroom , could not get in to take a shower. I think when the upgrades are finished it will be very nice . Also the noise from the band at the restaurant was somewhat annoying

Excellent facilities, staff. Highly recommended.

Dockhands were very helpful, professional and knowledgeable!

We’ve enjoyed our two stays at this marina. The staff are friendly and efficient, great at handling lines and being of general assistance. The two onsite restaurants are also very good, albeit on the pricier side.

Great staff and awesome location. We enjoyed great food and music next door at Rusty Hooks grill/bar. Looking forward to next time.

Always a pleasure to stay here. Great crew.

Nice marina , but they are remodeling and most amenities are not available. No showers or laundry and restrooms close at 5 pm. They should charging half price for a overnight stay .

Staff was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Easy on and off the dock. My favorite place to stop before and after capefear.

No showers and the bathrooms lock up at 5:00 pm and open again at 7:00 am. Little inconvenience. Other than that nice stay.

Bathhouse under renovation so no use of them

If not for the absence of showers and the portable bathroom, it would have been higher. The staff was very helpful.

Amazing staff and facilities, super communication.

Very nice, except no chair at the laundry. This would cost less than ten dollars to fix. What the hail?

I had an excellent stay very professional staff that went above and beyond to help. A tropical storm hit while here, it was very well protected. The on-site restaurant/bar has amazing food. I will definitely be staying here again

Nice spot. Good restaurant.

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 and Pete were very helpful and nice. We needed propane and they took us to get a refill. The restaurants on site are very good.

Great clean docks and marina. Great staff. Two very good restaurants.

This marina is great the facilities and staff. We stop here twice a year as a respite from offshore sailing and always feel welcomed and cared for.

Very helpful and nice staff. Easy exit and entrance to marina.

Great facility with very helpful and competent staff. everything was well maintained and fully functional. The Rusty Hook Restaurant is well worth a visit. Good food and drink and great service.

Another great visit lasting longer than we had anticipated.Can't thank the staff enough for their help with every aspect of the stay. Ian is extremely help as always working us in with our very flexible departure dates. Pete thanks for the invite to Sunday football at the yacht club, Bob thanks for golfing recommendations. Jack got always being willing to help. The 2 Brads and Andy for the quick responses to any requests including the dreaded pumpouts! All dockhands were.very helpful getting on and off docks. Facilities were good with 2 restaurants on site and many others close by. Hope to see you all again next year.

Friendly staff, clean facilities.

So nice peoples good service completely helfull

Clean,well run with two restaurants

The Crew are amazing! Helpful in every way. Convenient to two great restaurants. Directly on the ICW,easy in and out. We'll be back!

Nice Marina friendly support personal for moring and fuel gas dock. And the restaurant Josphe’s 💯% recommended. Thanks.

The staff at this marina is awesome! They are very attentive and helpful.

Had a great stay, two nights, at the marina. The dock help is the best, they are not only very capable and helpful but friendly too. The Rusty Hook Restaurant is perfect for a casual meal and drink. All the facilities are very clean. Right on the ICW means no windy, shallow canal to enter. Will definitely stay again.

Clean, safe and beautiful Marina. Great dockhands. Two great restaurants right at the Marina. Beautiful sunset.

The service was unbelievable!! Three very competent and friendly guys met us and helped us tie up. On top of that they gave us a ride to the grocery store which was too far too walk. If your stars went to 10 that is what i would give them!!

Loved the crew, loved the docks, great restaurant showers/bath were just okay.

Great staff and facility

Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Great facilities. Highly recommend this marina. We will be staying again.

Very nice guys on the dock we will be staying there again

Great crew at the marina. They can have a lot of current going by, and they always get you on and off the dock safely, and with a smile. Piers in great shape and two restaurants on site. Short walk to a rental car place also if you need one.

Beautiful marina - great resources on site.

This the best marina we’ve stated at. The dock crew is by far the best. We needed groceries and they drove us to the grocery store. I can’t say enough about the staff here. There are also two restaurants within the marina. If you are traveling through Southport on the ICW, you won’t be disappointed stopping here.

Friendly staff, clean docks and facilities

Couldn’t be better. Great place.

Dock staff is always friendly and very helpful.

they could not get my electricxal hooked up

Wonderful folks to work with!

Docks were nice. Dock crew were very helpful and nice. Enjoyed stay.

Great place!! Staff is great and on-site restaurants are fantastic.

I have been at this Marina since March of 2006.through a corporate change of ownership, in Nov. 2019 .

Excellent help from Pete docking and checking in.

Great location and very helpful and friendly team. I am familiar with the waters but the dockmaster gave an excellent run down of things to watch for both in the marina and in surrounding area. Nice clean facilities.

Outstanding, the dock master and help were awesome and provided lots of information from travel to restaurants.

Excellent marina with great location and nearby restaurants! Bathrooms could use a remake and be a little cleaner.

Made a last minute decision to stay the night, Rather than anchor out. The doc master helped remover our boat in and familiarize us with the marina. Add a wonderful dinner at the Italian restaurant.

Nice folks and nice facilities. Great stop!

This is a really nice Marina. Docks and Power Pedestals in excellent condition. Staff is excellent, and 2 great Restaurants on site. Would give 5 stars, but docking is on outside of Linear dock, and ignorant Boaters passing by Rock the Heck out of you!

Courteous, experienced dockworkers had us tied up and powered up in no time

Marina crew is terrific!

Great staff. Great close in places to eat.

Helpful staff and clean docks good location

All good people they they help you anyway they can restaurant had best crab claws I ever had😁😁

Great service. Very clean marina!!! Will definitely stay here again.

Great spot. The staff was 5 star plus on customer service. If you have dogs, access is easy to a walking area just past the docks. Will be back!

Very nice modern marina with helpful staff. I had an issue with their brand-new ELCI Power Pedestals tripping with my power cord. The dock staff was very helpful in finding a resolution. Very rocky due to wake from passing boats not slowing down, and showers lack privacy and could use a good de-grunging.

Ian, the Dockmaster and his crew were excellent. Fuel right at our slip. Southport village was very nice to see.

Good service from professional staff

Outstanding dock master and team. Enjoyed our stay despite gale force winds.

The staff is always friendly and helpful. We always keep our boat here when on vacationing on Oak Island. Very convenient to our condo.

All good. No problems! Two thumbs up.

Great marina with very helpful staff. We had a nice dinner at Joseph’s Italian Restaurant at the top of the dock.

The docket and crew are awesome!

Very accommodating and the restaurants are great!

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.

Very nice Marina and excellent staff. The rusty hooks restaurant was great.

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.

Punctual service, good communication, clean and considerate floating dock and restroom and shower facilities.

Very competent and helpful Harbourmasters, straight communication - Thanks from SY Charisma (heading around Cape Hatteras to New York

Great place to stop, the dock people were very polite & helpful! Would recommend this as a stop on the ICW!

Very nice marina. Bathrooms very clean. 2 nice restaurants near. Ian, the dock master, was very nice and helpful, along with the other dock staff. Ian went out of his way to help us.

The Marina was easy access off the ICW and the dock workers were top notch. They were right there to catch the lines and helped us get off the dock when we left in the wind. They all were very nice. The Marina itself had no ice and no ship store. There were 2 restaurants on the property itself but nothing else around there that was within walking distance. Would stay here again as long as no provisions were needed.

The best stop on the ICW.

Great transient dock, Ian was very helpful, facilities clean and all very safe! Looking forward to stopping here another time.

Great helpful staff and clean facilities

Very friendly and helpful dock staff. No less than 4 staff helping out with tie up, fuel and power. Can't beat the member price for diesel! Great seafood restaurant right next door.

Ian and the dock crew were all great.

Nice marina, face dock so a little rocking from inexperienced boaters. The marina is well maintained with all the amenities required except one a courtesy car. This is a common issue with Safe Harbor. The good part of safe harbor marinas is it is easy booking and you know the marina will be in good condition.

Dock staff was great! Restaurant was great.

Great staff. Nice docks. Two restuarants and a bar nearby. Groceries a 2 mile uber

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

Todd and Bob were a great help when we arrived. Helped with lines, connecting shore power, fuel, and general information about the Marina. We had a nice stay and recommend this marina.

Fantastic docks. Upgraded. Great location and nearby restaurants

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!

Docks and facilities are in top notch condition. Staff was helpful and friendly. Very easy stop along the ICW.

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 enjoyed staying at Safe Harbor South Village. We extended our stay to let TS Nicole pass to our west. The staff and operations are competent, helpful and professional. New modern floating docks are very secure. The bathrooms and showers need updating however understand they are not under SH control. We would visit again.

Friendly efficient dock crew, especially Ian! Pretty setting. Great Italian restaurant (Joseph’s)

South Harbor Village Marina was great from start to finish, plus the personnel there work over and above to make sure everything is right. They were prompt in confirming our reservation. The team was on the dock to get us tied up, registered, fueled promptly and answer any questions. Joseph's Restaurant at the end of the dock was the perfect Italian restaurant for a full day on the ocean. Definitely a \"go-To\" destination.

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.

This was a great visit. The marina crew could not be more helpful. The facilities were clean and in great condition. The manager was friendly and accommodating. Fully recommend

Great location! Dock crew was excellent, very attentive. Restrooms, showers were a bit of a disappointment. Two shower stalls in a common bathroom with sink, toilet and urinal. No potential for privacy.

Great location, friendly folks, nice facilities. Thank you for all.

This is one of the nicest marinas along the ICW. Friendly, immaculate and two nice restaurants right on site. Our third stop here and we will be back!

Super nice, well kept and clean marina and always the best dockhands on the ICW. Ian is super attentive and there bell to bell. A walk down the dock takes you to Joseph’s which is arguably one of the best restaurants anywhere.

On our way back to Charleston, SC from Beaufort, NC. Bob and crew were great! During your stop, check out Joseph's. A wonderful Italian restaurant on site.

This is a great stop on the ICW. The docks are wonderful, in slip pump out, great bathrooms and laundry. Rural setting, but restaurant on site, and 2.5 mile bike ride to grocery store, banks and pharmacies. Gated marina in a residential area. The dockhands were awesome!

This was an overnight stop for us. We were greeted with two men ready to help as the currents can be ripping. They got us in safely, helped with ropes and a pump out. The marina has decent showers including an ADA bathroom and nice laundry.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
