We love coming here. Great location in downtown Beaufort near shops and good restaurants. (We especially enjoyed Wren.) You’ll bounce around a bit due to currents but the experienced dockhands, Kathy and crew, get you in and out safely. Transient slips were in short supply but they did some jiggering and accommodated us for an extra night due to weather. Great staff! Three washers, three dryers. $2 per use. We didn’t use the bathrooms or showers but heard some concerns about standing water in the ladies shower which need to be addressed. No nearby grocery but we used InstaCart for convenient delivery right to the marina. Lovely waterfront park nearby and excellent live music outside Hemingway’s. Great stay!

A little run down. The bathrooms are filthy, the laundry room washers and dryers are showing their age and the mooring balls are not maintained.

Came here on our way to Florida. Took a mooring ball and settled in. The marina and mooring field is easy to navigate and there is a dinghy dock on the inside of marina. The only thing I would like to add is I'm not sure how they determine if there is moorings available. I was told there was one ball available and when we got here there was 3. There is free wifi from the park and if you have a booster there is wifi from the marina. Its right downtown and all is within walking distance. Staff was very helpful and the marina is very clean. We will stop in on our return north.
