This place is great. Well maintained in great condition. Staff are wonderful, friendly and extremely helpful. Only draw back is large boats are given a face dock out in the river exposed to "no wake" traffic sometimes a 3 AM. Otherwise would stay here again. The onsite restaurant is fantastic. Great bartenders and A+ food.
Marina Response:
Thank you for the great review and for staying with us at Cricket Cove Marina! We’re glad you enjoyed the marina, our staff, and the onsite restaurant — we’ll be sure to pass along the compliments to the bartenders and kitchen team. We also appreciate the feedback regarding the face dock exposure to late-night “no wake” traffic. Being right on the Intracoastal Waterway does occasionally bring unexpected wake activity, especially during busy boating periods like this holiday weekend. We understand how that can affect comfort for larger vessels and will continue looking for ways to improve the experience for our docked guests. We truly appreciate your visit and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Bathrooms great, Restaurant good I gave it a 4 star rating due to low water making fuel dock unavailable during low tides I left pushing thru 1.5 ft of mudd from their face dock
Marina Response:
Thank you for your review and for visiting us. We appreciate your feedback and your patience during your stay. At the time, South Carolina was experiencing drought conditions along with unusually low king tides, which created some challenging circumstances that were unfortunately beyond our control. We’re always working to manage these situations as best as possible and to keep our guests informed. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience on your next visit.

Nice place to spend the night. We were on the outside dock in the channel. Not waked too much except for the captains that don't know what no wake means. Less than 10 boats in 18 hrs. Great staff. Clean showers and restrooms. The restaurant is open. Nice environment. Would recommend for overnight. 5ft on outside at low tide.

T-head was on ICW so lots of rocking. No pump out available. No restaurant on site and nothing is walkable. That said, it was a good stopover point for our journey.
Marina Response:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear our marina served as a pleasant stopover during your journey. Being situated directly on the ICW can occasionally bring some wake activity, but we’re located in a designated no-wake zone and appreciate your understanding. Our on-site restaurant is currently closed for exciting upgrades and renovations, with plans to reopen soon — we can’t wait to share the new experience with our guests! In the meantime, there’s a nearby truck stop within walking distance that offers hot meals. Our pump-out service remains available; vessels simply need to come inside by the fuel dock for access. We’re always working to enhance our amenities and look forward to welcoming you back on your next trip through the area!

Super easy to work with via Dockwa, over the phone and in person. We always enjoy docking at Cricket Cove!
Marina Response:
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoy docking with us and that our team makes the process smooth and easy, whether through Dockwa, over the phone, or in person. We truly appreciate you choosing Cricket Cove Marina and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

The fuel there is difficult to access in a deeper keeled boat. Also, they are still advertising for laundry, Pumpout, and restaurant , and none of those things are at this marina. The staff was friendly, and as helpful as they could be, and also very nice showers & restrooms.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you found our staff friendly and enjoyed the showers and restrooms — we’ll be sure to pass that along to the team. Regarding fuel access, we understand the challenges deeper-keeled vessels face, especially with the current drought conditions and recent king tides reducing water levels more than usual. Even with recent dredging, these natural factors have made it difficult for deeper drafts to safely reach the fuel dock, and we appreciate your patience as we work through these ongoing environmental impacts. We also hear your concerns about the amenities — you're absolutely right, and we’re currently in the process of getting a new restaurant up and running and will be updating all promotional materials to better reflect what's currently available at the marina. Transparency is important to us, and we thank you for pointing that out. We hope to welcome you back under improved conditions soon.

Was disappointed the restaurant and laundry facilities were closed. We were unable to get to fuel and pump out because of our draft. Marina is shallow.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us. We’re sorry to hear you were unable to access the fuel and pump-out facilities. Due to the ongoing drought conditions in South Carolina, combined with a recent king tide, water levels at the marina have been significantly lower than usual. This has made access particularly difficult for vessels with deeper drafts like yours. Even following a recent dredge, the unusually low water levels still present safety concerns and challenges for reaching the fuel dock. We truly appreciate your understanding during these unusual conditions and hope for the opportunity to welcome you back when water levels have normalized and access improves. Cricket Cove Marina

Very fine staff and first rate facilities.

Very accommodating staff. Nice facilities. Would stop again!!

by Clark F. - Verified user on Apr 04, 2025
The website is much nicer than the marina. They changed our docking instructions literally as we approached the pier. The restaurant is closed. The docking help was not great, and the marina is much more shallow than they said (we grounded - though as they say “it is really soft silt”).
Marina Response:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the website. We apologize for the last-minute change in docking instructions and for any inconvenience caused by the shallow waters as South Carolina is experiencing droughts and unusually low tides. Your experience with the docking help is certainly not up to our usual standards, and we’ll make sure to address these issues moving forward. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

Super helpful dock hand! On site restaurant was good! Nice clean restrooms. No Landry facilities on site.

by Charles B. - Verified user on Dec 12, 2024
Very convenient location and the floating concrete docks are awesome. The bathrooms and showers were very nice. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant there is great with an outstanding view and waitress. Reasonable prices as well.
Marina Response:
Charles, Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, the floating concrete docks, and our well-maintained bathrooms and showers. It's also great to know that our staff made a positive impression and that you had a fantastic experience at the restaurant with the beautiful view. We really appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Despite having a reservation and talking to the marina to determine what side to place the lines, there was no one there when we arrived at 2:30 PM! Again, we spoke to them at 1:30 PM. No where in any data does it state that they close at 2:00 PM. We never would have made that reservation. Very unprofessional.
Marina Response:
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. It’s clear that communication regarding our hours and your reservation fell short, and we deeply regret any frustration this caused. We always strive to provide clear and accurate information, and we are reviewing our processes to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future. We understand your disappointment and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you’d like to discuss this further or give us another chance, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to the General Manager. Thank you for your feedback. Jason General Manager

There was a bit if an issue with depth at the dock we were assigned (we draw 6ft and it was showing 6 at high tide). Harbour Master was very accommodating and moved us over to facedock.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad the Harbour Master could assist and find a better spot for you at the face dock. We appreciate your understanding and will work to ensure future assignments meet the needs of vessels with similar drafts. Safe travels and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Our profile is in Dockwa. They did not accommodate us for 50 amp, nor did they have a splitter. A fix was made, and we got power, but the Dockwa profile exists for a reason. Other than that, a nice marina.
Marina Response:
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the initial issue with your power needs. Your feedback is a helpful reminder for us to double-check Dockwa profiles to ensure accommodations are properly prepared. We're glad a solution was found and that you still enjoyed the marina overall. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the opportunity to serve you even better in the future!

Nice folks and facilities. The only issue preventing a 5 star reviews is the knuckleheads who disregard the no wake.

We've stayed here for two extended stays, once for a month and again for two months. It has excellent bath/shower facilities, a super restaurant atop the marina (Snooky's), splendid marsh views and is quiet, especially out at the waterway end of the dock. We've not stayed in the busy season. There are quite a few good restaurants nearby as well. The dockhands and fueling folks are very helpful. A slight minus is that the marina closes pretty early (4pm) at the time of year we've been there (Oct-Nov) so it would pay to arrive early. There is even a marina cat, Miss Louise. Not fancy, but a very nice place to stay.
