Boating Destination Reviews for Travelers Along the Eastern Seaboard

Destination – Charleston, S.C.

One of the South's most venerable cities showcases a splendid harbor and unique historical character.

The City Marina of Charleston has 4,000 feet of space for transients, much of it at The MegaDock, which can accommodate boats to 300 feet. She’s the Lady of the Low Country, surrounded with marsh, winding creeks, palmetto and pine. Her low skyline, punctuated by the steeples of St. Michael’s and St. Philip’s churches, blends gracefully into her bordering rivers.

A Sea of Cortez charter follows in John Steinbeck’s wake

The Hook, a circular bay at Isla San Francisco, is an ideal place to anchor. On our second day out from La Paz, heading roughly north over the Sea of Cortez, I recognized yet another familiar shape — two of them, actually.

Local lagoon is a tropical bounty

Cruising to Vero Beach along the Intracoastal Waterway, you’ll pass through North America’s most diverse and second-largest estuary system, the 156-mile-long Indian River Lagoon. Its waters extend from Ponce de Leon Inlet south to Jupiter Inlet, encompassing the transition between temperate and subtropical climate zones.

Georgia’s Golden Isles

Step ashore and take in all that St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island and Brunswick have to offer

Along the Intracoastal Waterway, Georgia is many things. But to me, the most impressive are the huge expanses of wild marshland, punctuated by hammocks.

The rewards of visiting Florida’s Treasure Coast are many, from sunsets to stellar marina access

Vero Beach City Marina's moorings and docks occupy the deep, protected waters of Bethel Creek, just off Intracoastal Waterway Mile 952. Anchoring is not allowed in the creek, but up to three boats can raft on a single mooring. More and more Intracoastal Waterway cruisers are discovering a hidden treasure along Florida’s central east coast: Vero Beach City Marina. A short marked channel just northeast of the Merrill Barber high-rise bridge leads from the ICW to the transient-friendly facility on Bethel Creek.
