Safe Harbor South Harbour Village

We've stayed at several Safe Harbor marinas up and down the East Coast -- Blue Water, Solomons…read moreIsland, and Charleston, to name a few -- and have always had excellent experiences. Unfortunately, Safe Harbor South Harbor Village was the complete opposite and left us absolutely shocked by the lack of professionalism and hospitality. Several days before arriving, I called ahead to ask if they had a "pay to use the facilities" option for anchoring vessels -- something other Safe Harbor locations handle courteously. The dockmaster was polite, helpful, and said it wouldn't be a problem; we just needed to "take care of the dock hands" and could use the showers and laundry. When we arrived, everything seemed fine. We gave a gratuity, received a fob, and went to use the facilities. Moments later, we were confronted by an angry man who claimed to be the general manager, demanding to know what we were doing and accusing us of trespassing. His tone was hostile and accusatory from the start -- no attempt to understand, no professionalism. He even threatened to fire the dockmaster who had helped us and spoke condescendingly to my wife in front of other guests. Completely disgusted, we returned the fob and left immediately. We called Morningstar Marina just down the ICW and were treated with warmth, respect, and genuine hospitality -- everything this location lacked. It's a shame, because Safe Harbor's brand has always represented consistency and courtesy. But until corporate addresses the toxic management at South Harbor Village, we'll be taking our business -- and our recommendation -- elsewhere.

Dates: July 26 - 29 LOA: 48' Beam: 15' Draft: 3'4"…read more Nice, well cared for marina. The staff is all very nice, helpful, and accommodating. Be warned there is a strong current when coming around the fuel dock to the inside of the marina for the slips. We managed with twin screws, but slack tide would be much easier. The dock hands warned us to come around at a 45 degree angle to avoid a shoaling at low tide. Pump out is at the fuel dock, so plan on doing so as you come or go. Two great restaurants on location to choose from - a "big deck" energy bar and grill, and a quaint Italian restaurant that is only open for dinner. Both are worth stopping at. Uber is not available in this small town and the marina is far from everything. The dock office has a list of taxi companies to try if you are needing to head into town at all. While we were there, the mens room was having the floor redone, so men were having to wait in line for the handicapped / family restroom to shower on shore. The women's room had two stalls and a shower and was very nice. We didn't use the laundry but they do have it on site.

Unfortunately, the actual cleaning did not match the polished presentation. I hired this company for a deep clean, and the service did not match what was written in the contract. Several areas, like the laundry room, which were specifically included in the contract, were skipped entirely. When I asked them to come back to complete the work they had already been paid for, they told me it would be a "second phase" and would require additional payment. There was never an agreement about "phases", and it is not reasonable to charge extra for work that was already included in the original contract. They also skipped the copper sink completely. Their explanation was that there was a dish in the sink. We were home the entire time, and they could have simply asked us to move it. That alone demonstrates the level of effort and communication they were willing to put in. Cleaning products were used that were not appropriate for the materials in my home. Clorox wipes were used on surfaces that require specific cleaners, which explains why stains and buildup remained afterward. It felt rushed and not thoughtful. The team was friendly, but the quality of the work and the refusal to honor the original agreement were very disappointing. I paid for a deep clean, not a partial job with surprise "phases" added afterward. If you need a true deep clean or someone who understands how to care for different materials, this is not the company I would recommend. This experience taught me that a professional marketing appearance does not always equal professional results.

I've been using Donnie for years to keep my Regal 202 Vilante top notch. Hard to find i/o mechanics especially of this caliber. Nice to have a mechanic that will work on the water. Most won't test drive for real world performance, but he will. I also used him to refurbish my pontoon and keep my yamaha ob running. New deck, carpet and pontoons polished. He's completed engine, drive electrical and hull repairs for me over the years. Glad to see he has gone full-time and everyone can benefit from his skills. Give him a try you won't be disappointed. Heck he might even help you catch a few fish if you ask. read more

Not sure how they made my first review disappear (Didn't think Google pulled legitimate reviews)…read morebut stay very, very far away. This company doesn't care, (Although if you leave a bad review, the manager will call you a dozen times, don't know why, never left a message but I did not answer) the technicians leave a lot to be desired (And yes I know what a good technician is, I've been in the "Tech" business for 50 years) The bill was over $2200.00 and it included my annual service. They told me I needed a new VHF antenna, they said it was broken, nonsense but have to have a working radio when on the ocean, so $200+ dollars for that. When I dropped my boat off, they didn't say it was broken, when they wrote it up, didn't say a word, when I called 3 times to check on the boat (They didn't start working on it for two and a half weeks) they didn't say a word but finally when they brought it into the shop to begin the work I needed a new one cause mine is snapped in half. Again, nonsense, but have to have a working radio on the water. I had an issue with my Fresh Water Pump, so for $500.00+ dollars, I had them fix it. One month later (today, June 7th, 2026) and it doesn't work (I'm sure they'll say it's my fault, like the antenna) so now I have to have the $500+ dollar pump repaired less than a month after they replaced it. Yes, I should bring it back and have them fix it but I don't trust a word they say or the quality of technical employee's that work there. I'm sure they'll find some reason it's not covered, but moving on; When I picked my boat up and put it into the water the Port Engine wouldn't start, wouldn't even crank. I called the store, sat on hold for 2 minutes and got a "Huh, it was run here". Basically they didn't test my Batteries (Maybe an annual service doesn't include testing the batteries in NC but it does everywhere else) so the next morning, I had to go, get a new battery and install it. They didn't lube anything (The Cabin Door sounded like the Munster's House doors) and I can go on and on but it's useless, they just don't care and it shows! They're a typical "Dealer" they don't care, don't have any quality control, no follow up, no people skills and a repair staff with few "Technical Skills "and my new boat yes, just ordered a 280 thousand dollar boat, NOT from them will be delivered in @8 weeks. It's unfortunate they care more about money than their business reputation or integrity.

I recently visited Anglers Marine Supply in Shallotte, NC to purchase a boat, and unfortunately,…read morethe overall experience was disappointing. The staff (with the notable exception of sales representative Carter, who was helpful and professional) came across as unwelcoming and unfriendly. It genuinely felt like they were not interested in earning our business, which was surprising given that we were there to buy a boat--specifically, to repurchase our own boat that they had in inventory. The attitude from most of the team left us feeling undervalued and frustrated. If it hadn't been for the specific boat we wanted, we would have taken our business elsewhere without hesitation. While the facility and selection seemed decent, the poor customer service overshadowed everything else. I would recommend potential buyers consider other marine supply and boat dealers in the area that treat customers with basic courtesy and enthusiasm. Unfortunately, this visit left a sour impression, and I won't be returning.

Update: After returning home, I took the trailer into the shop to have the other three wheels…read morerebuilt to bring them all up to "like new." Upon test and inspection of the wheel done by ProTech, they determined that it was at best a temporary fix with perhaps used or damaged parts. It was making noise and grinding. So I had it rebuilt again. I am still very thankful to ProTech for helping me out on the side of the road and enabling me to get home. The working conditions were less than ideal and, with the time constraints, perhaps they had to MacGyver it a bit. Just a little disappointed that my $300 for that wheel had to be followed up with another $150 to make it right. But "Thank You" to ProTech for saving my backside in a difficult situation. Original post: I highly recommend Tom and the team at ProTech! On the first call, they took the time to understand my full problem and offered advice not only for the specifics of what they could do for me (fix my trailer) but also provided recommendations for other local businesses who could play a role in addressing my full problem (how to move the trailer and what to do with the boat). They also told me that if I did not have a painted hull I should limit the time I keep the boat in the water, etc. Everyone else just said, "get the trailer to us somehow, and we'll take a look." Yes I had a broken trailer problem but the bigger problem was how to get it to a shop and what to do with the boat. On the second call to Tom and team, they offered to come to me and figure it out and fix it on the side of the road. After a couple trips back and forth from the shop, everything was fixed. Bottom line is they earned my trust with their knowledge and bigger picture view of my problem and then went out of their way to fix it. By far the most knowledgeable and helpful marine services provider that I called and went out of their way to work with the reality of the situation vs "bring it in and we'll take a look."
