Nice marina at a good price. Friendly helpful staff. Not close to town but price reflects this.

Personnel are friendly and the floating piers are in good condition. Bathrooms and showers are subpar and in need of renovation, with poor lighting and only one cramped shower in each bathroom. Very isolated. Way up river from downtown Charleston. If you stay here, you will not see Charleston unless you rent a car or call an Uber.

Friendly, helpful staff. The facility is very secure as the only entrance to the docks is through locked gates that we accessed with the fob provided. It is a LONG walk up the docks to shore. We were on the outside of the T-dock so we got rocked by the freight ships. The docks are in good condition. It is a quiet marina with clean bathrooms. There are no restaurants or stores within walking distance. Uber had some trouble locating us too.

Dustin and Talmadge (Tal) run a great operation! Easy to do business with and very attentive. Facilities are always clean and inviting. I recommend CRM for anyone who is looking for a professionally run operation. Top Notch and reasonable!

Nice place, great staff with a long walk to the parking lot (Uber / Lyft) pickup. The only negatives are the current and wvaes rip through the dock and $15.00 a day for electric is ridiculous.

Another great stay at Cooper River Marina. With the use of Dockwa, I was able to stay at the marina completely contactless. The marina contacted me via email to let me know they were able to put me in the slip that worked perfectly last time. Great place to put your boat! They always treat you right at CRM

Staff was very helpful. The rest was not so good and not the marinas fault. The smell from the nearby plant is bad when you are downwind. It’s a LONG walk to shore and no services nearby. To cap the morning off, a large sportfisher went by just before dawn and rocked everyone docked on the outside wall, it damaged the sailboat beside us.

Cooper river marina is a fantastic place to stay- only complaint is the walk from the car to the boat but that’s topography not the marinas fault. Brian and his staff are excellent!!!!

Great service from staff there. Very accommodating with our changing plans. Uber had trouble finding it as their mapping system is not current for the area. Google maps is. Convenient to airport but must use car to get anywhere from there. Current is strong! Thanks Cooper River Marina! We will be back.

The bridge going out to the dock is very long. It is hard to get an Uber there. You are exposed to a fair bit of wake. Service and the facilities would get a five star if it wasn’t for the location.

We were looking for a secure marina as we were looking to leave the boat for a few days. This marina is safe and secure and we felt comfortable leaving the boat. Draw backs are: a long walk to shore, nothing much around (you'll definitely need a car), and it's not protected from waves and wakes and is kinda noisy! BUT, the staff is VERY nice and professional. 3 uniformed staff met us at the slip to help us with the lines (it was very windy when we arrived). They gave us a ride to a rental car agency (less than 3 miles away) and a couple of golf cart rides to the parking lot :-).

Marina staff is always friendly and helpful. The location isn't great if you don't have transportation, but was safe and secure and the price is right. Can get some wake from passing boats and ships and some ambient noise from the port next door, but we like watching all of the maritime activity. It's pretty cool. We have stayed before and will again on our passage through Charleston.

Cooper River is an excellent marina with staff that care about the marina and its guests. The location can seem a bit remote, but its also one of the few places one can watch the activities of a busy port. The floating docks are excellent, and while the outside of the transient dock can be a bit rolly from boat and ship traffic, it is a good and economical place for cruisers to stop on their way north or south with the season.

A very clean and well run Marina, with friendly, knowledgeable and courteous staff. What is more, James went above and beyond to secure us a slip, even though the Marina was full. We don't know Charleston, so would not have known where to go, as there was no room at any other Marinas. Thank you James and Staff! We truly appreciate it.

Nice people and facilities are in good shape. Nothing else is nearby, so you’ll need transportation if you are a transient. We were able to leave the boat unattended for and extended period with comfort and the office recommended a dinner for some work who did a great job.

New manager started a couple years ago knows little about boats or running a marina obviously since it is very run down with broken docks, lounge and baths rarely cleaned, and grumpy workers. He bullies visitors and lies about availability to keep boats out so they don't have to work (it's a county parks dept. marina, not privately owned.) Marina is located in the middle of a dirty industrial area with no provisioning or restaurants close by. No fuel here either. Avoid like the plague.
