We just left SH Bristol after an extended stay and can recommend the marina to anyone. The docks are in good shape, and help shield your boat from the ever present river currents. Wide fairways! All the Ashley marinas fight this current, so just be ready for it. As many have shared, the Dockmaster Martin makes things happen, and has a wealth of knowledge for tides, and the Double Drawbridge specs. We came in at low tide, and with a powerboat it was easy clearing the bridges. This is a Safe Harbor marina, and our concierge black card was honored without even asking. Bathrooms could have been cleaner, but it was off season. The marina sits right next to town, so easy to walk to Publix and a few others. If you know Charleston, you know it is a city, with city traffic and rush hours. Be prepared to obtain transportation for anything over a few blocks.

Wonderful experience all around. While moving our boat from Canada to the Florida Keys we had to make an unexpected trip back to Canada due to family emergency for an extended stay. The staff went above and beyond to make a very difficult time for us much less stressful. The Marina itself is in a great location. The docks are are really nice, in great condition and everything is kept wonderfully clean. The staff are what make this Marina a 5 star. Sincere thanks to Martin and Sammy for the compassionate service that you provided.
