    • Anchoring on Dewees Creek and Cooper River Marina (North Charleston)

      Here are some good snippets about anchoring on Dewees and berthing at Cooper River Marina. This latter facility is actually located well upstream from downtown Charleston, in the heart of the old naval base. Just be sure to arrive with a fully stocked galley!

      Ahoy All:
      Thursday we cruised to about 10 miles north of Charleston SC and anchored for the night next to Dewee Island, an “exclusive” residential area with no cars. Private boat or ferry is the only access. Two garbage trucks were being brought ashore Friday morning for the weekly pick-up. The tide changed around 4am so the Captain was up to make sure the anchor didn’t drag and send us into the nearby ocean inlet. All went well.
      Friday morning we docked at the Cooper River Marina, which is county-owned. Very friendly staff (Hugh is from Long Island) who are more than willing to drive you downtown, etc. Take a cab back. The marina is clean, fairly well protected from wakes, showers, laundry, lounge with tv and dial-up internet.
