“This is not just a place to get your bait and tackle,”
Brian said. “We carry quality brands like Yeti, Costa Del
Mar, Columbia Sportswear, Rainbow Sandals, Zep-Pro,
Lilly Pulitzer, Escapada, Southern Lure, Southern Tide,
Salt Life, AFTCO, Croakies and more. We’ve got what
you need whether you’re here for a day on the water or a
week at the beach.”
True to its slogan, the Isle of Palms Marina really is
“more than a marina – it’s a way of life.” It is the only public
marina on the Isle of Palms, and it’s much more than simply
short-term dockage and a three-lane boat ramp. In addition
to the Market, the marina offers kayak and paddle board
rentals, powerboat rentals, environmental tours, inshore and
offshore fishing charters, dolphin-watching harbor tours,
trips to Capers Island, custom boating excursions and sunset
cruises. If you’re hungry, Morgan Creek Grill’s incredible
views of the Intracoastal Waterway provide a stunning back-
drop for fresh seafood and live music. If you feel like getting
off the island for a meal or an evening out, the Isle of Palms
Marina can help, too.
“A little-known service we offer is to take people to
Shem Creek by boat,” Brian explained. “A boat arrival for
dinner is a great way to start the evening, and many people
choose to be dropped off there and take a cab back after
dark. We’re happy to offer drop-off and round-trip options
– those interested can call and schedule what works best
for them.”
The Isle of Palms Marina is a hub for locals and vaca-
tioners alike and a one-stop-shop for anyone hoping to
embrace the island’s great outdoors, no matter their age.
“If you make the kids happy on vacation, you as a parent
are going to have a good vacation,” Brian laughed. “Other-
wise, it’ll be a long week. Luckily, the marina has supplies
and activities to help make every visit memorable.”
The Isle of Palms Marina is located beyond the gates of
Wild Dunes and at mile 456.5 on the Intracoastal Wa-
terway. To learn more, visit or drop by in
person and let your Isle of Palms adventure begin.
