Special Note: after extensive renovations, including new docks and power connections, both Bucksport Marina and its on-site restaurant reopened in the fall of 2011, under new ownership and management. During a personal visit in early December, 2011, we were VERY IMPRESSED with this facility’s fresh, new look, and the “can-do” attitude of their management. After many years as a rather sad marina, Bucksport should now be once again on all cruisers’ radar as a good place to spend a night or two (or more)

We stayed at Bucksport on 4-5 and had a great time. Ralph sang all night and really did a great job entertaining us. We were the only boaters eating that night along with a couple other locals. It was the best time Sarah and I had had in a very long time. Food was great and very reasonable. Don’t pass this up on your way north or south. Its well worth an extra day devoted to the grand strand. Very pup friendly. Can’t say enough good things. Ralph and his wife treated us like family. See you soon.

We pulled into Bucksport Marina after deciding that too late to anchor in very deep anchorage. Nice accommodations at the tall wooden dock with great dock hands. There are floating docks but not for our 21 foot beam. had dinner at the Seaweed Grill and was very pleased. the steak was exceptional and the grilled cabbage was delicious. they have been open only a short time but are off to a good start with the new owners. Many locals were coming in as we finished our early dinner. would stop here again.

What a wonderful surprise- Bucksport Marina & Campground, in South Carolina, is open again!
The marina, grounds and restaurant have all undergone a major renovation. Everything looks fantastic! It is now a family owned and operated marina.
They have some great things in the works:
A ship store, which will carry sundries.
Concerts on the grounds
Sadly, the restaurant was not open, but will be on Friday (tomorrow). Dori was cooking chili and it smelled yummy! Jay is REALLY excited about the menu… inside out burgers)!
We were greeted by the friendliest group of people we have met in a long time!
If you are still heading south, stop in and meet Ralph and his family. You will not be sorry! 843.397.5566
We wish them all much success!

Passed by 11/17/11, called and found that they are reopened. Restaurant will open this weekend. Facility looked neet and clean. Docks looked good as well. Was told that the restaurant will have an expanded menu and will be excellent. Will stop next trip.
