We made the trip on 9/16/11. 8.4 miles off the ICW per my GPS. Not a bad trip. I just plotted a course using updated charts and the best water and do not remember any real shallow spots, we draw 3′. The marina is a little rough and we were not initially met, perhaps if we had called on the phone. Fuel $4.75 for gas, water, electricity, ice, wi fi are available. No showers but the owner (Elaine-very nice lady) allowed us to shower at her house right next door to the restaurant. The restaurant is a family place and very unique with great food. The clam chowder was excellent. Email r267890@pbtcomm.net and I can send you my GPS data in Garmin or .gpx format.

We 2nd that recommendation for stopping at the Sunbury Crab Company! On our way north in June we stopped for a visit…..terrific atmosphere, great food, wonderful service, and friendly staff. It would have been our loss if we had not made the 7 mile trip off the ICW to experience the setting and the hospitality.

We spent last night, November 12, 2010 at Sunbury Crab Co. We were the only boaters here. Very nice people, although no one greeted us at the dock, no problem docking ourselves. Elaine, the owner, was great, she even let us take showers in her house! Had a hearty seafood dinner at the restaurant and really enjoyed the southern hospitality. Will come back for sure! Was worth the diversion off the ICW.

It is now October 31st and we are at the Sunbury Crab Co and am so pleased that we choose to add this as one of our stops while en-route from Charleston, SC to Jacksonville, FL. The hospitality at the dock and at the restaurant was excellent and the food was delightful, although it has been a long time since I had to work that hard to get the meat from the crab to my mouth.
We took a walk after dinner but the only tour site recommended was the cemetery but given that it was Halloween and that the no-see-ums were bad and hungry we chose to be casual and retreat back to the boat after a quick walk.
The access to the Sunbury Marina is easy especially on a rising tide, so if in the area don’t waste passing a trip up the Medway River without visiting this location that offers a discount for AGLCA members. Also thanks to the Favors for suggesting the stop on their blog, the owners were still telling stories but for now it is back to scratching the no-see-um bites.

After reading the above postings we called Bernard and secured reservations for last night, a very cold December Sunday. We were directed to their website for directions, which after careful reading took us right in…deep water most of the way, and we did not encounter any real skinny spots Note that it is almost 7 miles in, BUT WELL WORTH THE DETOUR. They are the third set of docks on the Sunbury Creek Canal and have a large flag on their fuel dock, which is up from the face dock. They are the nicest people, so hospitable and the food is GREAT. We had a special shrimp chowder and then a bucket (a big bucket-chock full) of Blue Crabs. It’s also a great place to stretch your legs, a short walk takes you to an old, and now well tended, graveyard. A really lovely family run marina and restaurant. We will definitely stop again on our way north next Spring. Thanks for the tip! Ade & Jo Salzer-M/V Wandering Star

We left Savannah today and are currently docked at Sunbury Crab Co Restaurant and Marina up the Medway River @ mile 620 on the AICW. Elaine has extended a discount rate of $1.25 plus elect for AGLCA members (regular $1.75) and the 4 of us boats can attest to the down home hospitality that Sunbury has to offer. It’s one of those unique experiences like Hoppies or Bobbies Fish Camp except with real nice floating docks. They have a restaurant and bar on sight…we’ve been to the bar and it is truly unique…more later on the the restaurant. If you’re an AGLCA member and heading down the coast or when you’re heading up in the spring you should plan on making this a must stop.

Cruising News: Sunbury Crab Company. We saw the sponsorship ad at the top of this page and took a detour up the Medway River to the Sunbury Crab Co. It’s a new floating dock in front of the restaurant. It was a lovely trip up the river and the owners were friendly and enthusiastic. We found a lobster bucket with coffees and a newspaper when we got up in the morning!) It’s a bare bones marina with electricity and water. More to come in the future? The restaurant is not to be missed if you like blue crabs and other nicely prepared sea food in a rustic setting.

Not been there by water, myself, but talked to those who have. No problem, if you follow the charted deep water. Fun restaurant. Band on the weekends. Pool and a couple of rooms for anyone wanting to get off their boat for a night. Nice family owned restaurant.

Cruising News: WOW!! We usually make the long slog from Isle of Hope to Golden Isles Marina in one day.. Timing the tides makes the treck long and difficlt. Today we took your advice and stopped at Sunbury Crab Restaurant and Marina on the Medway River. Approach is very easy, the welcome is genuine, and the food is wonderful. If you are tired of the long slog……make sure and STOP AT SUNBURY!! Floating docks, fuel and great food!.

The Sunbury Crab Co, on the Medway River, is only 5 mile off the ICW and provides a real nice place to sit until the next day to make the next run down to the Little Mud River & Jekyll Creek. The people are really nice & the food is GREAT !!

Cruising News: Once again we must report that SUNBURY CRAB is a wonderful [lace to stop. The entry up the Medway River is deep, the docks are protected and new, and the food and the people are just first rate! If you want a great place to stop between Isle of Hope and Golden Isles, this is it!!

Cruising News: “Mangos” spent two pleasurable nights at Sunbury recently and enjoyed every minute. The owner/operators are the Maley family. Follow the outstanding directions on their website or call them up and they will guide you in. Foating Docks are new. Seafood at the restaurant is simply outstanding. Call ahead for hours. Friendly and accommodating fokes at the Crab Co and worth the extra time for a little side trip off the ICW.
