Excellent Marina to stay at, the dock hands take very good care of you and help in any way they can. The facilities are very well maintained. Bathroom, showers, laundry facilities are one of the best we have experienced. Highly recommend.

Susan on May 8th, 2022:

The staff is top notch, they have sound advice while docking, and responsive to our needs during our extended stay. The courtesy car is new. The Bath house is immaculate and large cleanest I have ever been in. Laundry has large folding area and iron. The pool area is complete with a grill fire pit and tables beside a creek. The store has been recently updated.The staff always made us feel welcome and were responsive to our needs. Steve has great dining suggestions. This will always be our place to stay when in Charleston. The staff made it like home.

Suzanne on April 22nd, 2022:

This marina is great! We had spoken to Steve and Stan prior to arrival, as we were concerned about current. We had great help with docking. All of the staff was fantastic. The bathroom and shower facilities are the nicest we have seen. They have a new courtesy car, also best we had ever used. To top it of they have a beautiful pool area.

Thomas on April 21st, 2022:

The young man who helped us tie up during a strong current and wind did a great job managing the situation. A loaner car was made available to us and we put it to good use. The bathrooms and showers were first rate. A very pleasant stay.

Patricia And Steven on April 1st, 2022:

We had a wonderful stop at St. John's Marina and highly recommend it. The new owners purchased it in December 2021 and retained the former staff. As stated in other reviews, Harbormaster Steve is very friendly and helpful. He caught our lines under really windy conditions and made sure that we had a nice visit. This marina has the cleanest bathrooms, showers and laundry room that we have ever seen. It is about 5 miles away from Charleston and a loaner car is available. The new owners plan to add an on site restaurant and yacht club.

Captain on February 17th, 2022:

New rates $2.5' or $15' weekly. No longer gives the Boat US discount. Military rate -10%. Courtesy car is still available so can go for provisions with it. Clean and nice restrooms and showers. Nice swimming pool and laundry facilities. Boaters lounge is very nice and even has a pool table. Came at slack so docking went well but I could see some difficulty if you came at wrong time with the current. Staff friendly and very helpful. Dog friendly marina.

Michael on January 13th, 2022:

We broke down on way to Beaufort and had to be towed from North Edisto River. No other marinas wanted to take us since we were not under own power. Tow Boat US recommended them and they welcomed us even though after hours. Steve came out to help us in and get set up. They provided a free courtesy car for 3 hours so we could provision. Recommended a great restaurant Wild Olive and entire staff very helpful including the repair parts that came they brought right to our boat. The marina is great now and they are doing additional upgrades. Can't wait to see it in the spring on way back up North. Would plan a couple days to try other restaurants, breweries and distillery an Uber away.

Robert on January 12th, 2022:

The marina has fuel, pump out, ice, excellent laundry facilities, floating docks, good WiFi, but what sets it apart are the courtesy cars. We often provision here at the nearest Harris Teeter, a large supermarket in the area. There's some current when docking but the dockhands are used to handling the incoming boats and I've never had a problem.

Mike on December 13th, 2021:

Attention to detail and competent staff make for a successful combination.

Paula on November 28th, 2021:

The marina is very well maintained and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I like this marina for its location to Charleston - yet not in the hustle and bustle of downtown Charleston.

Mike on November 12th, 2021:

St Johns is a great place to stop. Staff was outstanding in securing us upon arrival and helping us depart with the swift current. Bathrooms as noted by other reviewers were outstanding, WiFi was great, and the use of the courtesy car was a major plus. Would definitely recommend staying here as an alternative to downtown Charleston.

Bill & on August 10th, 2021:

Very nice Marina a little bit outside charleston. We chose it for the affordability and the comfort. Did get some waking there from small boats traveling the Stono River, but nothing unmanageable. The staff, Steve particularly, we're extremely helpful and hospitable. Has a loaner car which is a super plus. Will stay there again. There's also a lovely pool area that you can enjoy as well. Only reason it didn't get five stars was because of the conditions of the docks, they were good floating docks, would some of the screws were coming out and it made it a little more difficult for the pets to walk. The bath house is probably the finest I've seen. Clean, large and well air conditioned.

Curt on July 7th, 2021:

We are weekly visitors to St Johns for fuel, ice and beer. Great staff and always on spot when we pull up for fuel. We once had a battery issue not far from the marina and couldn't get a hold of friends to help. We called St Johns and they came out and gave us a charge. Locally owned marina and it shows.
So glad to have them here on Johns Island-they are great neighbors.

Jim on May 12th, 2021:

Great staff and excellent assistance. Very clean and spacious showers. Nice pool and laundry. No restaurant on site. Lyft and Uber were non-existent at diner time and cabs needed to be reserved. The courtesy car is available during the day until 6:00 PM. There is food delivery available via popular apps, but may take some time. An excellent overnight stop if you plan ahead to deal with the remote dinner availability and challenging currents.

Mark S. on May 12th, 2021:

Top notch dockmaster and staff made for a very enjoyable stay at St. John's Yacht Harbor. Arrived on a Saturday and was met by the dockmaster and another line handler. Current runs swift so pay attention to the dockmaster's advice. Our one week stay was easily extended to enable us to continue to visit with our daughter. Courtesy car used during our stay that allowed us to resupply food and to pickup parts at a local marine supply. Had several maintenance issues to address while there. Local knowledge of good service people to assist was appreciated. Pump out boat arrived every Monday to empty our tank. Again, the dockmaster and staff are on the top of their game. Thanks again for a great stay. We will stay at SJYH again.

Brian & on April 25th, 2021:

Excellent staff and facilities. Courtesy car for 2 hours allows easy access to Charleston, Folly Beach and lots of stores/restaurants. Recycling at marina.

H on April 15th, 2021:

A must stop on the AICW. The facilities here are incredible. Very nice pools, and the best showers I have seen at any marina. The current rips through here so plan accordingly. Great beer selection in the ships store.

Rob on March 25th, 2021:

Great dock hands. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Super nice facilities with the nicest laundry room you will find. Good place to walk the dog. Swimming pool looks great.

John on March 22nd, 2021:

Best part is the dock crew. They are all helpful, friendly and competent. Stan is the dockmaster and he was very accommodating, allowing us to stay on the fuel dock one night to make it easier when having some work done. Steve, Molly, E, and Austin all helped us during our 4 night stay. Deep water. Strong tidal current but E was very good helping us dock. Pump out boat comes to slip. Sturdy docks. Very nice large restrooms and showers. Four washers and four dryers in laundry room. Pool. Courtesy car.

Richard on January 10th, 2021:

Undeniably the most knowledgeable and helpful dock master I've encountered! The care given and his communication was great. Facilities were nice and well maintained. Will visit again.

Bella on October 25th, 2020:

This is the cleanest marina we have seen! The staff was very professional and knowledgeable.

R on October 2nd, 2020:

Ditto the review below - would give 6 stars if I could! Wonderful staff - Stan, Steve and E went above and beyond to help us and had great recommendations for the area, and are truly friendly people - and the bathrooms/showers were so nice I could’ve slept there lol. Same care with laundry room ($1 machines)! Free pump outs either at the fuel dock or served by the pump out boat. There’s a nice pool, and post Covid I’m sure the other gathering spaces will be lively. The night time lighting was comfortable and not glaring.
The location was fairly low on boat traffic, so not a lot of rocking, had such easy boating access to waterways, anchorages, islands, beaches and creeks that we will go back for more exploration. A walk from the marina between the only two nearby neighborhoods passes a bird filled marsh and was a nice way to start my day.
Courtesy car, easy access to shopping (Muddy Waters Coffee and Normandy Bakery; both two thumbs up!), and of course all the attractions of the Charleston area are a bonus.

Hannah on September 27th, 2020:

If only we could get off the wait list and have our on slip!

Beautiful facilities! Excellent service! Highly recommend

Kristen on May 31st, 2020:

This has been one of our favorite marinas to stop at so far and would not hesitate to recommend or come here again in the future. They have the cleanest facilities from the bathrooms to laundry to the docks. And they have the friendliest and most helpful staff all around. They were knowledgeable and so friendly.

We originally planned for a short stopover but got waylaid by some weather but this marina was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Also have a courtesy car that can use to run into town; number of grocery stores, Walmart, propane refill options, and a West Marine all within short driving distance.

Richard on March 28th, 2020:

Would give 6 stars if possable, agree with all the rest reviews, great amenities and helpful staff

Rusty on February 16th, 2020:

This is the nicest marina in Charleston. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The facility is kept spotless and the amenities are fantastic. More than fair pricing for what you get. A pleasure to stay here.

Paul on October 16th, 2019:

Great facility, but remote. There is a courtesy car which is great for errands. Would get 5* if the internet was functional, but it really is marginal.

Jacqui on June 14th, 2019:

This has got to be one of the nicer Marinas in the area. The staff is very friendly and the Marina is so clean. Lots of showers and washer/dryers.

Chuck on April 9th, 2019:

We arrived after hours and Steve, who lives there, helped us dock, which was good because of the current. It runs diagonal to the docks. The bathrooms were the cleanest and nicest we've seen in 3 years of cruising, and the everyone was friendly. They provided us with a splitter for our power cord. We got a nice Boat US discount, which was a pleasant surprise. Will absolutely stay there again.
