        We went from Beaufort SC to a beautiful anchorage called Steamboat Creek about 43 miles from Beaufort.

        Anchored there [Steamboat Creek] 4 times in the last 2 years near the gazebo marking the landing. This is a private farm and I got run off by the caretaker while taking my dog for a walk.
        Depths run 20 to 25 ft. near the dock. Last time I had to anchor near the eastern shore of the creek to try to get in the lee of the trees. Saw two bald eagles. The caretaker said there was a big nest nearby.
        The creek runs some 3 miles long and there are several homes on up in it. There is a public dock/ ramp just south of the Steamboat gazebo and you can go ashore to walk your dogs. Good anchorage, plenty of water and swing room.

        Another beautiful and excellent anchors. Depths runs as much as 50’ when entering the creek and average 20’ or more up to the steamboat house. There is quite a bit of small boat traffic in the creek which can be aggravating but the beauty of the area outweighs the disturbance from the small boats.

        We anchored opposite the “Steamboat House” and found it to be a very good anchorage except that it is pretty exposed to the west north and east. I would recommend it.

      Also, an UNCHARTED oyster bank lies just upstream (west) of this anchorage. Further upstream exploration is a BAD idea!

        I have anchored here before and even went around the next turn to the right. Stay close to south shore. I found good bottom and plenty of swing room. Several fishing boats went by, slow with no wake and there is a mild current. You could hear the ocean at night.

        WARNING – the north side of the entrance is very shallow, hug the south shore and try picking a rising tide. I had 8′ at MLW.

        We anchored here over the 11 ft mark on the chart and found the charted depths to be accurate. The anchor grabbed quickly and held through the night despite a 30 mph blow at 2:00 am.

        I’ve been here on two occasions, the first time during a howling northwest wind of 35 to 40 MPH and ducked in between the sand bar and shore in about 12 feet of water, just up from the cut. The trees did a great job of sheltering me from the wind and waves.

        The second time was in March of 2013, the wind was howling from the southeast, and the tide was screaming out. I anchored in the same location and it became real bumpy. Nice place, though.

        Dropped the hook off Alligator Creek on an ebbing tide, and glad I anchored off. There was no water in the creek at dead low tide. Watch your depth finder and guage how much water will be there at low tide before you drop the hook. Having said there, there is still a great deal room for boats that need 8 – 10 feet of water. Just don’t try the creek. Superb views, good mud bottom. My CQR held great in the currents. Just use the proper scope. Coming out the next morning, I decided to “eyeball” Fields Cut before entering, and was very glad I did. Two tugboats entered the cut, one pulling a dredge, the other a quarter mile of pipe. There was a sailboat at anchor at the edge of the ICW, and he got many blasts from the horn of the lead tug. The anchorage designated in the illustration is very clear, and is a great spot.
