Great location with fantastic staff. My favorite marina.

What a great place. Carson and Sky did a great job answering our questions and helping on the dock during strong currents. Complementary use of the bikes was an added plus. Will visit again in the fall. Thank you.

Excellent marina! Our favorite heading up the coast from Pompano Beach to Portland ME so far.

Fantastic helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Easy in, easy out. Always a great place to stay while transiting by boat around South Carolina.

Good Marina with all the needed amenities. Walking distance to restaurants on North side of Hilton Head. Floating docks make for easy on and off boat.

Marina Response:

Tim, thank you for the review! We look forward to having you back in future!

We had to make an emergency stop at this marina due to bad weather. I don't recall the young female attendant's name, but she was amazing, getting us a slip assignment and assisting with docking. She was in her mid twenties sorry I can't recall her name.

Marina Response:

Joseph, happy to hear our team could be of help! Hope to have you again in the future!

Very accommodating and flexible with last minute reservations. Make sure you borrow the loaner bikes and explore the numerous bike paths.

It was a great location for me, the crew in the office. People were great. They were there to help me with the lines when I arrived. The facility was nice and we utilized the bathrooms and the laundromat.

Great dock help. Clean facilities.

by Cathi J. - Verified user on Mar 17, 2026

This is a wonderful small marina. It’s away from a lot of the “action” of Hilton Head Island, which is what we wanted. Skye is a great dockmaster.

by Joseph H. on Mar 11, 2026

Many marinas have good facilities. The dockhands are what makes a marina great. Safe Harbor Skull Creek is a great marina because of the dockhands. Skye and Mike were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Loved the stay. And make sure you try Hudson's. A Skye and Mike recommendation.

by Sarah H. - Verified user on Feb 25, 2026

We came in late and the man who approved the reservation was so welcoming and informative. The facilities are very clean and bright. We will definitely come back next time we pass through!

by John M. on Feb 25, 2026

I arrived Thursday the 19th. Skye and Mike were there help me into the slip. I departed on Saturday morning with Skye and Hunter helping me shove off. Skye is very proficient and knowledgeable and her verbal instructions are spot on.

Safe and nice marina located in a gated community. Staff were friendly. Pretty location across the creek from the wildlife refuge. The only issue was our pier had a number of lights out; which made it difficult to see when at night.

by Kerry P. - Verified user on Jan 13, 2026

Great staff, friendly and caring! Beautiful location.

by Max M. - Verified user on Jan 11, 2026

Staff Communication was excellent. Docking help was great. Clean, well maintained facilities. Approach was great. Genuinely nice people. Price? Yes, a bit high for off season and a tie up. But safe and secure. I’d return.

Great place. Had to wait for tide at end of dock - draw 6'.

by Bao-Son H. - Verified user on Dec 17, 2025

Nice quiet marina, friendly staff, clean facilities. Had a great stay even though some motor boaters don’t understand no wake but that’s everywhere.

by Frank W. - Verified user on Dec 01, 2025

Incredibly attentive staff. Skye and Dakota made sure that everything was well.

by Scott S. - Verified user on Nov 28, 2025

As per usual. Safe Harbor staff are about as good as they come. Knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive.

by Bob I. on Nov 24, 2025

We had a great experience at SkullCreek. Big shout out to Dakota who helped us tie up and went out of his way to tell us about the marina and point out areas to visit while riding our bikes around the island. Thank you!

Friendly and Helpful staff. Good advice on what beach to hit and where to ride our bicycles.
