Very busy area on a sunny Saturday afternoon. LOTS of little boats, pontoons and jet skis whizzing around. The restaurants south of the bridge were packed too. Had to wait 20 minutes for bridge opening (bridge tender advised 19' clearance, we need min 19.2'!) Bridge tender was courteous and prompt.

Great marina for an overnight stay. Fixed docs with little tide. We ended up at a short finger which for our boat gets getting off the boat very hard. There is a bar/restaurant on premises (good margaritas and dinner). There's a pool which we didn't use (previous comments all positive). The marina is well protected.

Awesome marina with amazing customer service. They attended to all our needs, especially given that the first mate has a foot injury (they brought us steps to get off the boat easier instead of our ladder). They have a courtesy car that we used to drive around Beaufort and get groceries. There's a tiki bar and restaurant on site (closed Sunday and Mondays). The place is very well maintained. A definite 5 star! Oh, and you can fuel at the dock (diesel).

Amazing dockhands! I had reached out to them on Dockwa to let them know I had a broken foot and asked for a slip close to shore! When we called them on the radio, they remembered my request and gave us 2 slip options and were right there helping the Captain with the lines. The docks are in great shape. There are 2 restaurants on site; we liked the food and service at Rusty Hook. The staff was also very helpful when we left the marina the next day.

We had read a lot of good reviews about the marina, unfortunately, our experience was not very pleasant. We had read about great customer service and help with lines, but we couldn't get anyone on the radio or on the phone. No one helped us with the lines either at arrival or departure! They were busy with their rental boats, I guess! And we were waked a lot until dark. Be aware of shallow water! With 2.5 ft under our keel and constant waking, we were nervous! It was too late in the day, or we would have gone elsewhere.

5 stars are not enough! We've never been greeted by any marina staff so warmly! We came here for 2 days and stayed a week!
Chris and Jamal took care of us coming in, tied our lines, water hose and even set our ladder up for us. Very knowledgeable; they sure know what they are doing. There is a good restaurant on site. Golf carts and bikes to tour the island. There is a private business that provides transportation to other locations on the island. There is a pool and hot tub here too. We highly recommend this marina and will sure come back.

This was one of our top favorite spots to dock at. The city has so much to offer. There are lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, including one across the water with live music. We had fun enjoying the music from the back of our boat. Don't miss the Farmer's Market on Saturdays!

Nice marina and very knowledgeable and friendly staff. You can watch the dolphins swim just outside the marina. A short walk to the Atlantic coast and Marineland Dolphin Adventure (a must see!) It is in a secluded area and except for a food truck (good food) across the road, not much else is available for dining or shopping option. It's a nice quiet marina with very reasonable rates. We left the boat overnight feeling confident the staff was going to keep a watchful eye on our boat.

Nice marina with floating docks, close to Old St. Augustine with many restaurants and shops nearby. This is a dog friendly town.
