Get your sea legs ready — summertime is on the way. One of our favorite ways to enjoy the beauty of CHS is out on the water. We’re spotlighting three local marinas to give y’all the scoop on what they have to offer.

Charleston Harbor Marina

  • The Harbor Marina comes in strong on our list by being the largest in-water marina in the state of South Carolina. It offers resort style amenities and a one-stop shop to prepare you for a weekend on the boat.
  • Key features: pool, children programs, water taxi, and resort shuttle.

  • Key features: transient slips, marine services on site, and convenient location.

Bohicket Marina
