Lady's Island Marina

Vickie on April 25th, 2023:

Wonderful marina with amazing staff and helpful other boaters. The courtesy car was much needed for the hour We had it for a quick Walmart run. Great restaurant on site. Our Boat neighbors were so helpful while docking in a strong wind. Also Ted, another boater was so helpful when we had a slight electrical problem. Very peaceful marina even when it was full!

Very nice and attentive staff who did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Bathrooms and laundry were clean. We used the courtesy bikes to explore wonderful Beaufort. An indoor lounge would have been nice as we like getting off the boat in the evenings when we are in a marina.

Bruce on July 18th, 2022:

Top notch service at a very nice marina. We received a text message from the marina before arriving giving us detailed information on the approach, which dock we would be at and what side to tie up on. very nice feature!
The dock hands were ready when we pulled in and were very helpful about everything from the services at the marina to the places close by downtown. We will definitely stop here again.

Bill on June 30th, 2022:

A well-managed marina. Aaron was top-notch. Power and water functioned normally. Showers and bathrooms were clean. There is a large lounge. Publix is nearby, but is a longish walk, especially with lots of groceries. A courtesy vehicle was available for a couple hours and much appreciated in accomplishing this task. The on-site restaurant is excellent. Current can be strong so attempt a slack arrival.

Beaufort is a mile and a half walk so it's not as convenient as the downtown marina. It was an easy bike ride.

We have been at Lady's Island Marina in Beaufort SC for 6 days and I want to go on record as highly recommending them. Weekly rate is $7.50 per foot. This marina is run by some very friendly people. It has 3 nice clean shower rooms, laundry room (free to wash/$2.50 to dry), boaters lounge and courtesy car. Dockside Restaurant is located onsite - low country boil there was delicious. A little bit further walk is the Fillin Station where we got a fried pork chop dinner with smashed potatoes and gravy and green beans just like Mama used to make for $5! Within a one mile walk are Bill's Liquors, Publix, Walgreens, Regions Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Dollar Tree, Dairy Queen, Sonic, Dominoes Pizza, Little Caesar's Pizza and Lighthouse Ice ($2 for 22 pounds). A 1.5 mile walk the other way across the bridge will take you to the downtown historic district with its riverfront park, shops, tours and restaurants. — with Art Oliver at Lady's Island Marina.

We stayed here on a Sunday night in early April. Plenty of water on the way in and out, even at 90 minutes past low tide we saw no less than 10 feet of water. Floating docks in good shape, no issues with power and water. Restrooms, showers and laundry very clean and an easy walk from our slip. Multiple restaurants and a Publix within walking distance.

Tony And Donna on March 6th, 2022:

We really enjoyed out stay here primarily because of the staff and in particular Aaron. The people who have boats at the marina were also very nice. The marina is in great shape and in a very nice spot. There are restaurants and stores very close by and they have a marina truck that can be used and we did. We were also hailed by Aaron on our way in and really appreciated his assistance with docking.

Need more stars to give!!! Great owner/staff, great amenities, great location. Pretty much what everyone else has said. First time we've ever had a marina hail us as we were approaching the channel because they were watching for us. Can't get more hospitable than that.

Robert on January 14th, 2022:

The marina is located on a creek, away from the ICW so there are no wakes, very quiet. There's a restaurant nearby that attracts boaters who sometimes tie up at a dock belonging to Lady's Island. That can be a problem if it's your slip for the night and the staff has gone home (after 5:00). So if you're arriving late, be sure to call ahead to ensure your slip is not occupied by a boat going to the restaurant next door. We came in late one night in a driving rain after hours and saw an empty dock but it had signs "dangerous to dock, not operational" all over the dock. It was Lady's Island's way of reserving the dock for their customers and warding off restauranters. The marina has a courtesy car for use by transients.

JOHN on November 11th, 2021:

Great marina with lots of amenities. The loaner vehicle is a great bonus.
Tom and Aaron run great operation and are always helpful

Bill & on August 10th, 2021:

What a great town, the people that live in around this area love love love the waterway. Very much enjoyed our stay at the small Marina the owner Tom incredibly nice guy, do anything he could for you. Adam owns a small canvas shop there on the dock and was able to help us with some small restitching things without waiting and very very reasonable. Can't speak highly enough about this place. We had the pleasure of staying right in front of a place called The filling station which they say is the five star dive bar, and I agree. Food's not great but the beer is cold and the music's pretty darn good and we could hear it from the back of our boat on the weekends, and that was something that we very much enjoyed. The little town was pretty nice, however we were somewhat disappointed as they had a water festival going on during our stay and we were not able to use the city dock for our dinghy because of the water festival which consequently kept us from participating and enjoying that festival to the fullest. Would stay there again no problem lots of services and shopping in the area, Tom offers a courtesy car and he also has a DIY shop, bring your own tools. By the way, I forgot to mention Walter, Tom's dog super friendly really nice had a great time.

Brian on July 28th, 2021:

We love this marina. We arrived as customers, departed as friends with Tom & Liz. The shop was beautiful and stocked with interesting pieces from local artists. There is a fabric shop where we plan to have an enclosure designed later this year with Adam. This is a clean marina with wonderful folks. Dockside, the restaurant, is not to be missed.

Michelle on June 26th, 2021:

Tom and Liz are great here. Absolutely love this marina. Clean bathrooms and laundry room. They have a car if needed. Everything is close to the marina from groceries and a huge hardware store. We stayed week and enjoyed everything there. Docking is no problem we came in at slack tide and had a t dock. Definitely coming back

Robert on June 7th, 2021:

We really like this marina. Stayed here 5-15-21 and again on 5-28-21 and 5-29-21. Easy in and out but current can be strong. Loaner truck is good and the marina is close to restaurants and Publix store. Will stay here again and again.

Dane on May 14th, 2021:

From the moment we were in sight of this marina, Tom and his team were helpful! We really liked this marina for its amenities, quiet spot close to downtown Beaufort (bike or courtesy car) with lots of history. Great stop with a friendly and accommodating marina team!

Annette on May 7th, 2021:

It's easy to be here. Tom, Liz and team are friendly and helpful. They accommodated us as our plans changed during a busy season. Amenities as noted and services nearby make it a great stop. There is even a nice boutique shop on site. We have been here several times and hope to come back. (Note prices may have gone up slightly from what is listed here.)

David on April 25th, 2021:

Young marina crew were very nice though a little frenzied. They crammed us onto a T-head where we did not quite fit. We were stern-to-stern with another boat and both of us had ground tackle sticking out into the respective fairways. The good thing is you do have restaurants within walking and grocery not much further, plus they have a free loaner car for an hour. You can bicycle back over the bridge into Beaufort and the currents are a bit calmer than the municipal marina.

Jim on April 15th, 2021:

Very nice marina. Close to restaurants, shopping, and a marine store. We stayed one night and Tom and Liz were great at getting us tied up and situated. I liked this marina and wished we could have stayed longer.

Rob on March 23rd, 2021:

Well protected marina when the winds are blowing hard. Tom is a friendly and engaged owner. Liz makes the place run well. Fastest WiFi we have found in a marina so far. Lots of liveaboards who for the most part are very friendly. Great place to take the dog for a walk but there is a lot of glass in the parking lot. Hard to provision the boat as some of the docks are blocked from getting a cart to the boat by stairs and pedestals. The day that we arrived neither Tom or Liz was there so the dock hands were hard to fine and not monitoring the radio.

Mark on March 8th, 2021:

We stayed for three days of cold rainy early March weather and had a great time. It was like we were visiting with old friends. Great experience in a really relaxed environment.

Dave on November 27th, 2020:

Highly recommend this marina. Tom goes out of his way to provide you with all the amenities that you need.

Robert on June 10th, 2020:

Great place to stop; solid docks; dockmaster one of best, helpful, knowledgeable; quiet and laid-back but with an excellent on-site busy restaurant; also has DIY workshop [using own tools]; courtesy car better than average. Would come here again.

Catherine on November 22nd, 2018:

Mary (dockmaster) guided us in, met us at the dock and had us tied and hooked up in no time. I immediately went to walk the dog and discovered the marine store sold jewelry by local artists (and much more), a yoga studio and a massage therapist! I immediately went back to the boat and informed my husband I was never leaving! Mary invited us to bar next door for a $4 plate of burger, hotdog, beans and potato salad. Talk about paradise! Next day was Thanksgiving and Mary invited us to a potluck at the marina lounge. Food was delicious and we felt right at home with all the other boaters. Marina has all the ammenities from restrooms to showers to laundry and all very nice. Did I mention the courtesy car? What else could you ask for? Oh, an on-site canvas shop and a DIY workshop. Maybe I shouldn’t post this review. Will there be room for us on our return trip?

Frank on October 18th, 2018:

You will not find a better place to stay.. Mary the dockmaster and Tom the owner did everything they could to make our stay one of the best on the intercoastal waterway. Even Adam the in canvas shop jumped in, stopped what he was doing and fixed a part of our dodger. Also, the ships store has awesome things made by some of the boat owners!! What a wonderful group of people! Do not stay anywhere else when coming through Beaufort!

Bob423 on July 1st, 2018:

Friendly, well protected, good dockhands. This is a good marina to stage for getting pass Lady's Island Bridge. If they are full, you can anchor in the creek and use their dinghy dock at no charge.

Ginger on June 2nd, 2018:

Spent the '17-'18 winter season here. It was the perfect spot for us. Mary runs a friendly marina, social opportunities are plentiful in the marina and in town. Workshop was perfect for our varnish and boat job projects, yoga in the marina building with excellent instruction, bakery, swimming pool, and complete hardware store all within a couple of easy walking blocks. Couldn't have picked a better place to spend our refit time. Also convenient to both Savannah and Charleston but more accessible for daily life in this small town. Loved it! (Comperable to Ray Roberts in Whangarei, NZ and Zululand Yacht Club in South Africa. - Fantastic!)

Rene on February 15th, 2017:

This is the best Marina we have stopped in so far. The managers are incredible...helpful as can be. One day they even let us use the car. This is a fun and very clean marina. Hey, there is 3 full sized bathrooms, 2 free washers and 2 pay dryers...there is a huge lounge for live aboard equipped with a full kitchen, comfy couch, reclining chairs and tv's and table & chairs... But that's not all! There s a shop on sight for you to make your own repairs in.. No extra charge. Walking distance to many stores , restaurants etc... We will be back for sure.

GeoffM on February 10th, 2017:

One of the friendliest marinas we've ever encountered. Dock masters Mary and Jason were extremely helpful. Everything is within walking distance and if it is not, there's a courtesy car on request. Clean facilities, a work shop on site and a great group of people to help out if needed.
