Safe Harbor Charleston City

Excellent facilities and services. Continuing improvements to docks. Always friendly.

Always a pleasure. Easy in/out, good dockhands, professionally run Marina. Transient or longer stay this is the best place to be in Charleston!

All professionals at the marina

Dark help was great, especially Dylan. The free drinks and pizza were much appreciated after a long hot day on the water.

Excellent docks and staff. Would stay again.

Dockhand Dylan was incredible in getting us docked. Kudos to him. Hanna was invaluable in helping us recognize the marina features from the boat. Great staff, great marina.

5 stars all the way! Great facility, nice stable docks and most importantly the dockmaster and dock staff really hustled and took great care of us!

Superb marina, staff really make it special. Location is magnificent.. history and culture

Excellent facilities and close to everything you need while in Charleston. From the office staff to the dock hands, everyone provided attentive service and made our stay a memorable one. Showers and rest rooms are among the best we’ve seen.

Charleston city is always a great stay. The staff was friendly and efficient. Location is excellent

Thus is a wonderful marina. Great amenities, shuttle to town and west marine was great. Staff is freindly and go out of their way to help you. We really enjoyed our stay.

We come every year... always love the staff and the welcome when we arrive. This year was no different. The dock is expanding, building out and improving so there was a lot of construction, but that did not hurt the stay. As always, Charleston City Marina rises to the occasion. Thanks for allowing us to visit for a night. Loved it.

Everything about the Marina is good.

Great docks and superb staff.

Excellent Marina, highly professional personnel, good availability of multiple services and maintenance options. Definitely a good stop while navigating north or south bound the east coast.

This time we were on the new mega dock. Fantastic service from the staff.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very long walk to find grass for the dogs so I will say not a dog friendly marina.

Great staff and service.

The staff is what makes it, really the dockhands...helpful and nice and great!! The marina is very nice and very big. I enjoyed my stay here but for one thing. I was at the end of there superdock and on the weekend the boat traffic and these huge ferrys go by and sent off, no kidding, about 5 foot high wakes. Obviously rude, and in no way the fault of SHCC, but just be sure you ask for an inside location.

Great place to stay if you want to visit Charleston! Courtesy van runs every hour and will drop you off anywhere in Charleston proper. Every day at 11 am, van makes a run to West Marine across the bridge and picks you up in 75-90 minutes. Plenty of time to get boat supplies and hit the nice grocery store next door. Too tired to walk back to the marina after playing the tourist, call the courtesy van and get picked up. Excellent docking assistance! Great showers and restrooms on floating docks. It was a healthy 758 steps from our boat to the showers, but if you want a golf cart ride, you can call the office and someone will shuttle you. All staff members are friendly and competent! As others have said, it can be bouncy in the marina but it was never really uncomfortable nor unsafe.

Very friendly and easy marina. Professional, attentive staff. The mobile service team is highly responsive and completed a needed repair efficiently and effectively.

Terrific facilities and amenities

Fantastic staff, friendly, always smiling. Always willing to help. Clean and super professional. Highly recommend this marina.

Came up from Saint Augustine and enjoyed our short stay. The marina was very busy but they gave me a slip and helped tie up. All employees were helpful and glad to do it. The shuttle service was great and we had dinner downtown. I refueled at departure and it was handled. Thoroughly enjoyed our short visit.

Really great marina. Now with the new super-mega dock it’s even nicer. Professional dockhands, floating docks, fuel in your slip and great location

Great stay. Staff very friendly and helpful!

Great marina Everyone was so helpful and accommodating. We love the happy hour.

The current was really strong when I came in It was great having the assistance of their dock hands. Their shuttle service is outstanding. I had some slight engine issues and took advantage of their on-site mechanics. The mechanics did a great job with my kicker.

Very friendly staff and clean facilities. Made our stay easy and enjoyable.

Great staff, convenient shuttle service for shopping and a good fuel dock. The only negative is rough water on the outside MEGA dock

Awsome Marina, stayed on the new dock, fantastic

Feb 2024 - The dockhands were super nice and marina had just what we needed including nice showers, laundry and free courtesy shuttle to and from downtown. May 2025 - The work they are doing is adding to the amenities and making the marina very nice. The only issue we have had is around getting pumped-out. The staff will ask if we will need fuel and/or a pump-out when we arrive and what time we will be there. Even if you say you need a pump-out when you arrive, they won't bother to tell you that pump-out is only in the morning and they won't pump-out after the 1PM MANDATED earliest check in. Upon arrival, they ask if you need anything. If you respond, "yes, we need a pump-out." they will tell you they will put you on the list for a pump-out first thing in the morning. Both visits, they have NOT put us on the list as promised and we have had to call in the morning asking when we would get pumped-out. only to be told they will add us to the list. The first time we visited, the staff was telling us they needed us out by 11AM as they had a new boat coming into out slip. We refused to leave until they pumped us out or agree to send the pump-out boat to the anchorage across from the marina and pump us out there. The pump-out boat arrived at noon the first time and just prior to 11AM this time. If the marina wants to enforce the 1PM-11AM stay, they need to accommodate pump-outs during this time period. The last issue with pump-out is being called the next day after your departure to ask for a $5 credit card payment to cover the pump-out. After paying $220 for a dock spot for the night, you'd expect pump-out to be covered......

This was not our first time staying here and we will stop by again. We had to keep pushing the reservation due to engine issues but the staff made it possible and were very understanding. The shuttle was an amazing benefit but the marina is close enough to many things we just walked.

very good service as always

Great staff and marina

Really professional great 👍😁

Excellent service all the way

The staff are all very courteous and efficient. The facilities are clean and nice. The only problem was that the marina kept losing electrical power. However, the marina proactively refunded the charge for power.

Always my favorite stop. Elizabeth and team never fail impress. Having the best slip on main dock was the icing on the cake. Don't get me wrong, sometimes having the east end of mega dock is nice for privacy, having a full finger dock slip close to all the action was a blessing. Respectfully, Capt John. MY "Do it Now". Horizon 98EU.

Lots of new nice slips.

We stayed 3 nights. Great help docking in current. Nice restaurant and a liquor store close by

Really liked all the new renovations and the happy hour was very nice.

Everything was perfect.

We spent 2 nights at the Charleston City marina and had a lovely time. Hannah was great getting us a slip, the dock crew was very helpful and Dylan the shuttle driver was wonderful. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks everyone.

Great service and shuttle

Excellent and professional staff, clean, safe, warm hospitality

Hoping this will be a singular experience apart from my many past visits. Nevertheless, from the chaotic series of incorrect slip assessments, to the dock master’s inability to distinguish north from south and east from west as well as an annoying hubris across the vhf, to the unfortunate dockhand who’d clearly never been given any instruction or training in the sequence of line handling in a good current, all certainly give occasion to reconsider a potential return visit. Again, sincerely hope they were just having a bad evening.

As usual- great service and a top notch location.

The wi-fi does not work and when I told employee they just laughed and said “we know”

great stay and great staff

Very nice everyone was very helpful

All staff were friendly and helpful. Bathing and laundry facilities were clean. We had a problem with one of the machines and office staff immediately came to assist and problem solve. A huge shout out to shuttle drivers, who gave excellent dinner and lunch recommendations.

I came to Charleston for Race Week with my classic 28' gaff sloop. SHCC could not have been more helpful. When IK had to delay launching for a day due to inclement weather they made contact with me to offer help and instructions for late night arrival if that was needed. My assigned spot was deep in and kept my little wood boat well protected. The staff in the office were very accommodating. This is a first class facility, maintained and managed to the highest quality. I will be pleased to return the next time I am in the area.

A great marina with friendly staff

Nice docks and excellent staff.

Helpful staff. Nice docks.

Staff awesome, there to help us in. Marina threw a happy hour with beer/wine and food. How nice to meet and chat with other boaters. Only downer, no good restaurants walking distance.

Extensive facilities, yummy happy hour, very convenient shuttle service, they even have nice weather. How many marinas do you know that you could share a slip with 143 foot J boat?

Perfect service, pleasant staff

Excellent service. Very efficient Marina.

Everything perfect as always

Great staff, super location! A little expensive but you get what you pay for…

Thank you for a terrific stay. The marina amenities were excellent and the staff was amazing…. Extremely knowledgeable, timely and friendly.

SHCC staff is the best. Marina has a lot of current. Docking is challenging during peak flood or Eb.

Professional and accommodating. First time docking there. We were very pleased. Staff is friendly & always willing to help. We'll be back !

Very friendly staff and experienced technicians. Convenient shuttle to publix west marine and downtown . Returning for a month in the fall!

Staff was wonderful, polite, and helpful from arrival until departure. Enjoyed the happy hour and took advantage of the shuttle to town. It is a pricey place, but they do deliver on service. Would definitely return.

Amazing marina. Very expensive though.

Great base for visiting Charleston. Staff very nice. Love that you can fuel in your slip. We will return.

Overly expensive especially fuel where the price was taped on the pump 60 cents more than the local over the road price. I understand convenience but the fuel price was much higher than Jekyll I (60c) and Beaufort NC (75c). The dockage rate was high too. We liked the staff and they did a nice job.

Great facility with an attentive staff. Couldn't be improved.

Docking with 25-30 mph gusty winds was a challenge, but Tyler did a great job assisting with lines. On departing, we radioed the dock office for assistance with the lines and received no response after 4 radio calls on 68, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Great facilities. Loved staying here and of course Charleston is a great city. Marina provides a courtesy van which takes you where you need to go and is very attentive throughout your stay. Terrific dockhands. They work so well as a team!

Great marina, great staff and good amenities. Be prepared for a lot of walking just due to the size of the marina. Took the courtesy shuttle a couple of times and staff was always so friendly and helpful.

Totally awesome place!

Nice staff. Directions on where to dock could be better, like letters and numbers.

Top quality facility

Great staff nice facilities

Very friendly and professional

Fuel prices are high so we took much less than capacity but otherwise all was good.

Friendly staff, easy docking, free shuttle to/from downtown Charleston.

That megadock is a half mile walk. We were kicked out of the Courtesy van in a driving thunder and lightning storm with no golf carts able to drive us to our boat. I understood the decision but there wasn’t any shelter except to go to the shower house on an aluminum dock to wait out the worst! Not a great way to treat your guests. We’re all safe but it wasn’t pleasant. Dwayne

Amazing marina with great service

The staff went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly. This was the best experience in a Marina that I have ever had. 100%!

Great staff clean facilities beautiful views

Excellent Staff!

Really great staff. Easy access to old town, and they have a shuttle too.

Facility is clean and friendly. Dock personnel are very helpful. Being on the outside of the mega dock in the high current and boat traffic wake area gets bouncy.

I would like to thank all the staff that helped us with docking and taking us in the shuttle. They were all so pleasant and a great asset to your program. I would also like to give a BIG shout out to Reaves Baird (don't know if I spelled that correctly) but he did an AWESOME job with a tricky departure between 2 nice mega yachts and tricky winds and current...it was perfect with his help and expertise and WE really appreciated it. We will be back....thank you so much. Donna Michaux Cetacea :)

We have a 45 foot powerboat. We were on the original megadock. The weather was not good and therefore we had a lot of wave action and made for an uncomfortable stay. That’s not the marina’s fault except they should warn people about the wave of action, so people can make a decision. This is the same safe Harbor quality I’ve seen in other locations. Love the laundry facilities, the staff was very helpful and nice, the complementary shuttle was a nice touch. Big problem for us is there was no green area for our dogs to go to the bathroom nearby. It was a 10 minute walk to the parking lot and no green space there either.

Wonderful! Safe Harbor Charleston City has the nicest docks on the east coast. Very secure, clean and top notch. Great dock hands and staff. It's a bit of a hike from the far end of the docks to shore but I'm sure one of the many staff on golf carts would give you a ride if needed. The marina has a shuttle van that will take you anywhere in town you want to go. Van runs on the hour. The city market is only a little over a mile so it is walking distance if you prefer. We thy to stay at Safe Harbor Charleston City a couple times a year and it has become on of our favorite stops.

Great service.

Excellent marina but can be bounced at times

Amazing place. Fantastic staff. Beautiful bathhouses. Quick and friendly communication. Even though downtown is a little bit of a walk, the shuttle is extremely helpful. First class facility.

Loved it! We stayed on the Mega Dock. Boat side pump out. Courteous Van. Restaurant/Bar. Location is only a mile from all the history you just need to know! We will be back!

Very nice and modern marina. Loved the floating mega dock! Very central. Also easy to access.

Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Will definitely stay here again!

We stayed on the outside older "mega dock" for the night, it was VERY nice, and much less rolly than I thought it would be. We slept great. The staff there is really Amazing! So responsive and extremely helpful, we would definitely stay there again!

Staff was great. Facilities were exceptional even while being improved. Love Charleston.

The Megadock never disappoints. We stayed on the new North Dock. Very stable. Can't wait till it's finished.

Excellent as usual. Good service, good facilities, great location

Our stay was fine. The new Mega Dock is amazing.

Nice stay on the brand new "mega dock". Staying on the inside of the mega dock made for calm nights. Nice showers, laundry and bathrooms. Great having a shuttle service (on the hour) to take us into Charleston proper where the restaurants were amazing. This time of year they run the shuttle 9-5:45. We would take it at 5pm to go to dinner and walk back to the marina. Safe walking and beautiful streets. Be prepared for a long walk if you are on the megadock! Nice that pump out and fuel is right at the slip. Would definitely stay again.

Stay was friendly and helped with tie up and power connection. Short walk to convenience store and liquor store.

Great facility with a friendly and helpful staff. Very close to downtown Charleston. We will certainly be back.

Nicely maintained facility, responsive and courteous staff, walking distance to beautiful downtown Charleston, plus there is a shuttle bus to take you to and from town and even the nearest Westmarine!

Great facility. Will definitely reserve with SHC on our way back in the spring . Thank you!

Friendly staff, helpful dockhands, convenient shuttle

The place is very impressive. Docks are in great shape. The staff is extremely friendly and they have a courtesy shuttle into town.

Beautiful facility. We look forward to the completion of the construction upgrades. Will definitely use this facility again when in the area.

One of the best. Simple as that. It is not the cheapest, and we are not too pleased with the variable pricing based on inventory. We stayed just a few nights, but enjoyed every minute. Everyone was very accomidating. Best feature is the shuttle to town and restaurants. If you know the city, and the traffic at all hours, you know what a great thing it is to have the shuttle. We are a gas boat and really wish they had both gas and diesel. As part of the SH family we can say this is a great one.

Unlike most safe Harbor properties this facility does it right. With the exception of the ridiculous dockage fees this staff has kept it’s principals. Hat’s off to Trey and his staff and the over engineered remodel might be excitingo. As a guy who spends a 100K a year with Safe Harbor it would be nice to be invited into the club. Membership requirements should be reviewed. This coming from a marina owner. .

This was just preliminary to my four-month winter berth. All Was great except the Internet reception at the end of the old megadock is bot acceptable.

Excellent amenities. Knowledgeable and friendly staff to help you navigate the currents and tight quarters. Special shout out to Matt (aka Dillon) and Hannah for all of their help! Courtesy shuttle is an excellent service as it helps make provisioning and exploring Charleston more accessible. Great laundry and shower facilities as well!

Awesome dock, awesome staff!

Fuel and pump out at the boat on the Megadock super nice and capable staff Showers could be better, but they are doing some renovations The shuttle to town is a nice touch Overall a very good marina would definitely recommend it and we would stay there again

Pretty good marina. A touch disorganized on the docking side at times, but well worth it overall. Great shuttle service, drinks / food days.

Always a great spot. Easy in and out. Great restaurant near by. Great people

The marina is working hard to improve their amenities, and their staff is terrific, however I am not happy with their new "dynamic" pricing, that prices a slip based on supply and demand. It is hard for small boats(37') to plan way ahead and avoid this pricing change, due to weather constraints, and so it takes advantage of those making reservations within a week of their stay. We'll be more prepared for this next time, but if Safe Harbor keeps buying up everything, the smaller boats will take the hit, and they'll be no competition.

Excellent stay, very helpful staff.

Excellent marina, outstanding dock staff and management.

Beautiful place and mega dock !

Great experience, as usual.

Great 3 night stay, especially after a rough overnight passage from Beaufort NC. Significant improvement in amount and quality of dockage, and in the quality of facilities and services since we were there a few years ago - not that things were bad before, just notably better this time.

Safe Harbor Charleston City definitely deserves a 5 star rating. Charleston is a lovely place to visit and is easily accessible by walking or using courtesy van provided by marina. The docks are well maintained , diesel and pump-out available at megadock. Great wi-fi. The staff at Safe Harbor Charleston are phenomenal, special call out to Matthew, Jack and Dillon for your excellent assistance during our recent stay.

This is a great facility with outstanding crew. The hourly van service is extremely convenient. Will definitely stop here again.

Excellent facilities and terrific helpful dock staff. Very accommodating and massive yachts,

Great marina! Super helpful and huge. The Mega Dock is a sight to see. Close walk to all of Charlestons great restaurants and shops. Current is strong so be aware. They only sell Diesel but the marina next door has gas. Clean bathrooms and showers. Overall a great stay.

Great Marina will be back to visit again.

great spot dock hands were great

Very friendly and competent staff. Tremendous facility with all of the amenities. We will be back.

Awesome Marina and staff.

Great location and the staff was great as always. One of our favorite spots.

Elizabeth Derwart, Dockmaster, has been simply awesome.

Great marina and fuel on the docks are a great convenience. Staff was very attentive and available 24/7! Great location for great food, shopping, and provisions. We will be back and will plan to stay longer!

Very nice staff and great exercise getting from the Megadock to shore! As boaters, we need that! The courtesy shuttle to West Marine, grocery shopping and town is terrific. The docks are well maintained and the marina is always clean. Looking forward to our return visit. Charleston is a great town!

Our stay was very nice. The dock hands were helpful and professional . The facility was clean and well maintained. We found a great barbecue joint the was an Uber ride away call ed Lewes's fabulous. We will be back

Staff was friendly and welcoming. Nice stay.

Dock staff were outstanding. Efficient and courteous. Courtesy van is good. Nearby restaurant is good. However for the expense it isn’t worth it. 1/2 mile just to get off the dock. Only a gas station convenience store nearby. Often bouncy.

Very helpful dockhands who know what they are doing, though the communication of slip assignment and tie information was super unclear and very last minute adding a little chaos to docking in that current. They host a Happy Hour on the dock on Tuesdays and Fridays, which was a nice way to meet other cruisers. We love Charleston and the location is great.

Great location; great staff

Great facility. Shuttle service is fabulous

Every aspect of the marina's functions is geared to satisfying the customer. All staff interactions are a delight. All of the facilities designated for customer use work and are attractive and inviting. Just a great marina.

what a great staff. easy going helpful. it's a big dock and can be a longbwalk but when the people are friendly it makes it quick!

Charleston City Marina is in a centralized location to visit many parts of the city.

I have always stopped there and will continue going back. A great Marina and staff.

As Always, Safe Harbor Charleston is one of our favorite stops along the coast The new docks are amazing and so are the staff Keep up the good work

Great stay, even for an overnight. Arrived in the afternoon to a rainy downpour and offered to hold.off til rain passed, they said no worries and had a dockhand at the ready so we could tie up quickly. Courtesy car is an added bonus. Nice docks, great staff

We had an excellent stay. Staff was extremely professional. Hannah was the bomb! She gave great info and gave me a golf cart ride to their gas station so I could purchase some long needed wine. Their shuttle pronptly dropped me off and picked me up from urgent care. The showers and laundry were spotless. There is a great restaurant just outside the parking lot that we had a great breakfast at.

My stay here was excellent as always . The staff are great and assist you very well. I had a lot of amazon packages coming and received them all quickly after delivery. I also had my new sail redirected to the marina and UPS even brought it up to dock office. Great deisel prices. There is a lot of super yachts and other boats to look at while walking they're massive docks . I will be coming back again .

The facilities are excellent and the staff could not be more friendly and helpful. The shuttle is great; makes getting around downtown Charleston easy.

Great location and wonderful showers/baths.

Dates: July 18 - 24, 2024 LOA: 48' Beam: 15' Draft: 3'4" The mega dock at this marina is massive. We stayed here for a week to receive some packages and reset. We were assigned a spot on the outside of the mega dock itself. In the late afternoon through early evening the current gets pretty rough and has you bouncing around a bit, but it does settle down. We had 30 to 40ft of depth under us on the outside of the mega dock. Pump outs are done via a pump out boat. As long as someone is free they can come take care of you. The laundry facilities and showers were really nice, as were the bathrooms. This marina is under construction, expanding their available slips and putting in all new floating docks. Parking is all gated, so for Walmart deliveries and Uber you need to walk up to the bus station bench by the gas station. The staff were great! Super helpful and always answered the phone. There is a shuttle that runs every hour until close that will take you anywhere downtown, and it goes to West Marine once a day. Charleston is a wonderful city and we will definitely be returning to this marina to spend more time. It was a great experience all around.

Great place and staff. Courtesy an was a plus to get to and from the hotel

Great location to stop on your trip north or south. Very nice facilities and perfect location to sample all that Charleston has to offer. A major plus is the new mega docks they are putting in to support vessels of all sizes.

Great marina with outstanding people. Great facilities and the courtesy service is unbelievable. Very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. Current really rips through Charleston, so outside docks can get bumpy at times.

Great staff and nice amenities. The free shuttle to West Marine and grocery stores was fantastic. My only complaint is being on the Mega dock was rough. The waves and wakes tossed us around every afternoon. Next time we will request a slip further in.

The staff is terrific, fueling and dock approach is convenient. We had minor trouble with the dock power and had to rely on our generator.

Over the top helpful Staff ! Shuttle was assume !! It’s on top of list of places to stay!!! Cheers

The staff at this marina is the difference. Very friendly and accommodating. Outside of the mega dock is a bit rough in a catamaran bit still glad we went. Shuttle to town, Saturday evening drinks, help with lines and fuel. We’d definitely recommend.

Fabulous marina with great staff. Safe Harbor Marinas are alway professionally run by well trained staff. The new docks are awesome and they are only going to get better. The place to stay!

A wonderful full service marina!

Lots of construction for new docks.short on staff. Staff is very friendly.

great

Excellent staff and facility.

Doc worker said they only had one 1 inch and a quarter diesel fuel hose for sailboats and then they said it broken. We had to sail over to another marina to get fuel. We hear that there was water in your the fuel , wasted three hours trying to get fuel.

Great stop and experienced dockhands to assist with tying up.

Hannah is the BEST!!

Very accommodating and professional. Great staff, great customer service and great location

Fantastic facilities. Great staff and dock personnel. Easy in and out. Love the Megadock!!

What a great marina. Yes it’s a long walk from the water but the staff was super helpful and the shuttle was great. Some amazing boats to see as well.

Friendly staff, great shuttle to town and fun happy hour!

Marina is doing renovations. Otherwise excellent.

This is my second time staying at this marina. I decided to give it a second chance after a not great first visit. On the positive side the staff were excellent, the washroom and laundry facilities are good and clean. The shuttle to take us and the dog to town was a great service. Unfortunately I have to leave a low rating as the mega dock, that seems to be something this marina is very proud of, is terrible for a couple of reasons. If the wind is blowing out of the S/SW/W it gets very rough and our boat was smashing on its fenders into the dock. Even if the wind is not from these directions, passing boats throw lots of wake having the same effect. It was pretty miserable to be on the boat. There was space on the inside of the mega dock which would have been protected but the marina would not allow us to dock there. Another downside of the mega dock is the walk to shore, laundry, showers or office is a very long one. The marina is really just the docks and a parking lot. There aren’t any grassy areas close by to take any four legged crew members to. From my experience I would say this is an excellent spot for large vessels but not for your typical cruiser vessel of <40ft.

Friendly, accommodating team. Professionally run marina.

Great location and nice docks. I’d stay here again.

Extremely friendly and helpful Marina staff! The shuttle is a big plus! Highly recommend!

Nice marina but currently being renovated. Fuel wasn’t working when we stayed there. Showers were clean and had multiple. This marina is big so bring good walking shoes or a scooter/bike. Dockhands were very capable and friendly/polite. Would stay again.

The Staff and marina at Safe Harbor were exceptional! From the booking to arrival, Jacqueline answered every question and helped with the process. We rented the Water Suite and it did not disappoint. We will be booking it again next year! Beautiful Suite and marina!

This mega marina is awesome! While we are just a small vessel in comparison to the mega yachts, we were treated equally. The proximity to everything was great, especially with hourly shuttle service offered. The staff were very professional and helpful. My favorite marina so far!

Drew, Adam, Hannah, Ethan, & the rest of the crew could not have been more accommodating and professional! Great marina, great stay! Thank you so much. Gemini

Excellent staff. Very nice marina

Beautiful marina!! Dockhands were great. A lot of current and a little wind was a little challenging but made it.

Good Marina. Excellent and Helpful Staff.

Nice facility, knowledgeable dockhands,helpful shuttle into town, and convenient to downtown. We walked from megadock to heart of Charleston more than once. Only complaint is the marina is exposed to passing boat wakes. Most boaters were polite with their wakes, but there are always some who pass closely generating excessive wakes.

Great facility. In the process of getting nicer. Face dock very long. Ask to dock closer to office.

Great location and very friendly and helpful staff.

Great Marina. Friendly staff. Good communication. Always enjoy our visit here.

Helpful Staff . Good shuttle .

Excellent facility and the staff is very respectful. Absolutely wonderful, if I could give them more than 5 stars I would! They are always professional, courteous, kind and helpful, from getting gas to docking in all kinds of conditions they are exceptional. Charleston's harbor is a special place and they make it that much easier to fall in love with.

We were there looking for protection from a SW blow, and they put us on the outside of the superstructure dock. We found that we were in the chop grinding on the dock, with constant traffic and wake. There were some 100+ foot boats on this dock that seemed fine, but they should think twice about putting a 40' boat on the outside. Inside things looked fine, but we did not have a good experience here.

We should have been notified beforehand there was no fuel available! Poor form!!

Nice folks. Will be better once docks are completed and fuel is available.

They put us on the outside of the mega dock. With an east wind and outgoing tide we slammed 3 footers at the dock

Great facility & amenities. Free shuttle was great.

SHCharlestonCity was exemplary! Lots of well trained, friendly and accommodating staff. Facility was clean and very well maintained. Highly recommended!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were super clean and smelled nice! I enjoyed the stay. So glad that there were recycling bins on site.

Very friendly and helpful staff and a free shuttle service to and from historic downtown. We were given a nice inside slip to reduce our walk and provide some shelter from boat wakes. Bathrooms / showers top notch and very clean. Only downside is there is no gas or pump-out here. Come at slack tide to avoid strong currents.

Nice facilities. Outer tee pier was a little ruff do to hi winds.

Very helpful staff, nice docks, good service

Very helpful staff. Loved having the convenience of having the shuttle .

The marina was under construction and not well staffed, granted it was a Tuesday in January. Water pressure in showers was awful, for a marina that caters to mega yachts I expected more. Staff was pleasant but sparse.

The outside of the mega dock provides little to no protection from winds and currents. We encountered unusually high winds and sustained significant damage to our boat. Never again will I stay on the outside, even in mild conditions.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Safe Harbor employs the nicest people. :)

Just absolutely fabulous. Quinn, the young man and the main office did everything to make it wonderful. Thank you!

Very helpful and friendly staff. The shuttle to downtown was so convenient. We will definitely stop here again. Hannah is a great deckhand!

Great location. Nice facilities. Easy reservations. Good dock help. Thanks!

Disappointing. With just one ‘too tight’ docking space available on the fuel dock we were unable to top up.

The staff is very very good, so are the slips, and the shuttle, but the 1/2 mile walk to anything, such as food, bath house, laundry, dock office is a little rough, especially in bad weather, but it is a big marina so additional bath houses at either end would be nice in addition to a cafe or two. It all on all great

Everyone on the dock staff was most helpful. Restrooms were adequate and clean. You have to manage the tides/current which are easily observed in the fairway. The only downside was the walk from the T dock to shore but that is what it is and cannot be changed. Would certainly stay again. Legacy 48

Absolutely loved our stay at Safe Harbour Charleston. Only planned on 2 nights but since we had a breakdown, the amazing staff was more than happy to accommodate us and with the help of Ryan, the service specialist, we are back up and running. The washroom, shower and laundry facilities are immaculate. The courtesy shuttle is a welcome bonus for parts runs and provisioning! Thank you, keep up the great work and we'll be seeing you again!

Awesome! very well-run Marina, staff is great and professional. Walking distance to everything, Publix grocery store is less than 3/4 mile away, easy walking distance, most of the downtown is a little over one mile away. We went to a restaurant called Costa (walking distance .5 mile away) really good food, higher end. Come to find out you need a reservation... but sitting at the bar was amazing Julian and Lisa we're on their game and gave us amazing full service at the bar... The Marina and city are amazing and its highly recommended to check out. Cheers!

Great stop on our journey south! Everyone on staff was amazing!

Great marina. Courtesy van is a nice perk.

Great place and staff

Trey & Drew are fantastic, and their staff are exceptional. Been staying there a few years and it just keeps getting better ! GAIL FORCE

Great marina good service. Like the shuttle

The staff here kindly fit us in at the last second to allow us to visit family for Thanksgiving. Not only did they give us great directions to the dock, but included current direction and suggested docking directions. Once there, the staff was very responsive to any needs we had, including easy access to the fuel pumps (we were on the mega-dock), and parking passes for our car. Of course, having The Variety Store Restaurant there, as well as North Sails for our sail repair made things very convenient. The location is EXCELLENT for sightseeing downtown Charleston, which we love. I highly recommend a stay here; pricing is fair and fuel prices were great as well!

Once again Safe Harbor Charleston was a great spot with a very friendly and a accommodating staff.

Staff was helpful and attentive. Much construction going on.

Very nice marina, not much area for walking the dog, restaurant wasn't open. Marina staff were very helpful and professional. Once they finish the new floating piers it will be one of the best floating dock marinas we have stayed at. Can't wait to stay on our way back next spring heading north.

Great staff

Excellent as always. First class

Very helpful staff! Thank you!

We just loves it! Very nice city, very nice service and staff ultra helping.

Great staff. Really helpful with docking assistance and refueling.

No trash bins on the dock

Good to go. Thank you.

Great marina. Staff is helpful. Easy in and out.

Absolutely amazing marina! One of the best we’ve ever stayed at. The staff are helpful, organized and competent. We wished to cancel our final day within 36 hours of departure in order to catch a weather window, and were immediately granted a full refund for that final day. Laundry is excellent. Pumpouts are dockside. The free courtesy shuttle runs hourly with return pickups available on demand. And the Tuesday Happy Hours are super fun. We can’t say enough about this marina and would give it 6 stars if possible!

Helpful staff, nice marina

They have a lot of dock space which is good, but half of it at least are old docks with limited boat protection. In fairness they appear to be replacing this section which means you are in a construction zone. Dock hand was there to help, and he did, before he had to run off to help someone else. Provided a card with some info but failed to mention needing a key fob to use the showers/laundry. Restaurant appeared to be ok, but was closed on Sunday afternoon/evening. Basement bar downstairs was run down and grungy. Biggest complaint is the men’s room needed cleaning badly (filthy/disgusting) on Friday and still wasn’t addressed by Monday, even though the inspection sheet was ‘signed off’. Facilities are nice but no where near clean and would fail city inspection. Safe Harbor can and should do much better. Compared to Beaufort SC and others I’ve been to this place just doesn’t meet reasonable expectations - yet.

Great experience, staff was excellent, facilities are amazing

Wonderful visit, staff was very accommodating. Look forward to the new docks and 480 power availabity.

Great Time, The dock crew are very helpful and friendly Jack Coconuts

Best marina in Charleston! They are making it even bigger also. They have a shuttle that goes to town. Close to two Marriott hotels and a Hilton hotel.

Great! All the staff are wonderful and the accommodations are first rate. Also, it’s Charleston, SC… the food was great!! 😊👏🥂

Amazed at how big this dock is. We were treated exceptionally and our stay was excellent. Great dock crew! Highly recommend

Really nice facility, nice bathrooms, and laundry. Dock hands are wonderful. But if you are a small boat, you feel really small surrounded by all the MEGA yachts. Definitely need to watch your arrival and departure times to be close to slack tide as the current is strong through the marina. Would have been nice if the closet restaurant was open later on Sunday.

Awesome experience right from the get go. Staff are super friendly and Drew went above and beyond to welcome us and assist us in finding some longer term docking as they did not have any available at this time. The location is fantastic and the amenities great. This will definitely be my our to Marina when in Charleston.

Everything was great as always. Great place for a break in traveling.

Nice marina with helpful staff. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Wonderful marina . We stayed at there water suite and loved everything about it. The top deck views and breezes were spectacular. Jacquelyn was our contact from the start and was there to greet us. Her expertise in making our stay perfect was above and beyond.

Very professional and welcoming staff

Nice place and getting better

Had a great time here. Some construction going on adding a new Mega Dock, was not much of a inconvenience. Used our e-bikes to get around town and the long dock. Friendly staff and facilities were clean. Shuttle was available to town and grocery stores but we did not take advantage on our 3 night stay. We will be back!

Great place and service!

The marina is under construction so not everything was 100% We were on the outside dock and it was a little rocky do to wind currents and passing boats The dock hand was very helpful getting us tied up but forgot to let us know we needed a key fob for the shower It is very convenient location and would stay there again on our way back down this fall

Hannah was absolutely great! She was attentive while doing so many other tasks. She works as if she owns the place!!

Very helpful and convenient

Great stay… great staff… !

Great facilities. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable.

People were very friendly and helpful!!

Great location downtown. Responsive staff. Will be nicer once renovations complete.

Under construction, but still the best.

This place is BIG! The customer service is just as big as the marina. If I started naming names, I am sure I would leave someone out – the ENTIRE staff was great. From the time we arrived to the time we departed; each person took their time to make sure things were right for us. Please understand – we asked questions to find things out, we did not just assume things. From the golf carts on the dock to help get the wife to and from the parking lot to the shuttle van running into the city (we saved a lot of money on uber fees). Excellent job folks! We will stop in again.

Top notch marina in all respects. Also, the on-site mobile service is incredible - Reid and Larry (Electrician) are both professional, helpful and friendly.

This is a large marina. You never know how small your boat really is until you are next to a 165ft mega yacht. We were on the very end of the mega dock. Quite a hike from our boat to land. Our dog was a bit disappointed in the long walk to grass. 4 stars only because of the long distance which might be a problem for some people. Request inside the dock because it is a bit rough on the outside. The staff was excellent and very accommodating. They helped with getting us on the dock and gave us rides to the parking lot when we asked. Shuttle goes downtown every hour and to West Marine once a day. We used both and there is a grocery store next to the West Marine. If you have bikes or scooters downtown is a easy ride. Construction wasn't really a big deal but we didn't see anyone working when we were there. Once they finish the construction this place will be very nice. Overall a very good long weekend. Thanks to all those that helped us out!!

Really big marina. The mega dock, where the transients are sent, is really long, busy and filled with 100+ foot charter yachts and sport fishers. Distances are huge, bicycle helpful and staff uses golf carts. Facilities well maintained. Wake on outside of mega dock can be rough so ask for inside. Current is strong, so only dock near slack. Dog grass is sadly lacking and a long walk away (quarter mile). Outside gate is a teaching hospital and busy road, not attractive for walking. Shuttle to downtown is great and saved a fortune in Uber. Charleston is a great city. Staff is great and made the visit for us. Thanks Adam, Christian, Hannah, Sara, Clay for taking great care of us.

$14 a day electric charge is a RIP OFF. PLEASE REVALUATE YOUR CHARGES!!

Dock hands were not helpful. They don’t know how to properly tie up a boat. The courtesy shuttle to downtown is nice, however one gentleman claimed he was not allowed to take me to the Publix even though it is listed in their brochure as a routine stop. The ongoing construction makes it difficult to walk around the marina.

Confusion/misunderstanding fueling on arrival which resulted in a 1.5hr delay getting secure in slip. I'm sure this was a one-time hiccup as City Marina is always spot-on

Great docks in a great location. Marina staff were helpful and professional. The rating is lower for two reasons. 1. The docks are undergoing a significant renovation and there were parts pulled up each day. While this did not unduly affect us, we do think this should be noted on the Dockwa site. 2. WiFi internet capacity was poor during our visit. The dockside antenna were right next to our boat and we had very strong wifi connections, however the connection to the internet was constantly dropping and when connected, was terribly slow - just for loading a web page or downloading a file to update charts. We expect better for this level of marina and the rates charged.

We only stayed one night but it was super easy and everyone was great

Awesome Stay. Great location and staff

Our stay and the staff were excellent. Some of the pedestals and the water valves were in less than good condition. But they are working and making the docks nicer and from what I can see when they're done it's going to be fabulous.

Very disappointing! Always have enjoyed staying there but no one bothered to let us know that their diesel line was down so they sent me to the next marina, that buys their diesel from Charleston City Marina and was charged $1.10 more a gallon! This should not be allowed to happen and someone at Dockwa should investigate?

Highly recommended. The marina staff are very helpful and friendly. Washrooms are modern and clean. Laundry room and machines allowed for a enjoyable laundry day.... Rates are fair for this scale of establishment. Restaurant onsite, wine and spirits store close by. Just a great place all around. Cheers YOLO

Great support…great people!

In our 16 years and 26,000 nm of sailing, i have never had such an enjoyable and easy stay. The team of professionals here at Safe Harbor Charleston is incredible! They expertly handled every request, or query and even assisted us to extend our stay unexpectedly. I tip my hat to them, and cant reccomend them enough! Top notch crew, top notch facility! Thanks guys!

Staff was friendly and helpful!

Phenomenal staff and courteous service. Great experience!

Great people and facility. Dock is a bit long, but I understand that they are redoing the docks.

Excellent Marina! Held packages for our arrival, great shuttle service to town, great dockhands to assist upon arrival!

Great as always. Ben was great
