Marina Review for Myrtle Beach Yacht Club

Reviewed by: Phil Jewett on Aug 10, 2021
Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 45'
Draft: 5.5'

Rating: 1

Sent an email asking about available or coming available slips for a 45' boat. Email was sent to info@. The reply was "Sorry...we are currently at full capacity." No name, no offer to add to a waiting list, nothing.

So I replied with a question about a waiting list. Answer? "We do not keep a wait list. We turn away about 10 boaters a day so a list is not feasible."

Still no name on the email. If you think I would ever spend a dime with an organization that behaves this poorly, you couldn't be more wrong.

If I knew who the owner(s) were, I'd make every effort to make them aware of how unprofessional their staff are. Unfortunately, leadership begins at the top so they are very likely already aware of or even involved in the complete and utter incompetence.

I cannot imagine having my boat here. It would surely be a complete disaster in every aspect.

  Marina Response:
  In response to the review left by Phil Jewett, I would like to apologize if he feels we are unprofessional at MBYC. Each of the 153 slips at MBYC are individually owned and our policy is to not give out the slip owner's information. We also do not keep a waiting list for individuals wanting long term dockage due to the volume of requests we get at MBYC.
  With the number of boats that have been sold in the last year and the growth in new residents in our area, available boat slips have become very rare. This includes transient slips. Boaters need to understand this and make requests far in advance. This seems to be a problem at most of the other marinas in this area and does not seem to be ending any time soon.
