Dataw Marina announces two events in March. New restaurant and Open House weekend set to welcome in the boating season.

Dataw Island Marina, a public marina in a gated community, is hosting two major events in March. On Friday, March 12th, Sweetgrass Restaurant will have their grand opening featuring a new menu, décor, and service. Sweetgrass will be a casual farm-to-table restaurant and bar featuring the freshest and best local products. In addition to offering lunch and dinner, they will offer `to-go’ picnics for boaters and golfers, homemade deserts, and eventually catering and event planning services. All of this will be brought to you in a comfortable relaxed setting, blue jeans and boat shoes being the preferred dress. The restaurant will serve lunch and dinner Friday through Tuesday and will be closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

On Saturday, March 20th and Sunday, March 21st, Dataw Island Marina will host an open house featuring specials on overnight dockage and fuel, tours of the facility, and discounts on new customer leases. The Old Ship Store will offer discounts on selected merchandise and Sweetgrass Restaurant will be offering lunch and dinner specials. While you are here, be sure to go aboard the 93′ Charlestonian. This luxury cruiser offers four king size state rooms, a dining room, bar, gourmet kitchen, lounge with flat screen TV, and an additional bar on the upper deck which provides a panoramic view of the Morgan River. This vessel is available as a bed and breakfast, or can be chartered for cruises, weddings, golf trips, business gatherings, or whatever you have in mind.

Come out and visit one of the loveliest places in the low country, Dataw Island Marina. Remember, we are a public marina in a gated community. Come out and see us!
