Anchorage Review for North Landing River - Blackwater Creek

Great spot for an overnight if Coinjock is full. The holding is pretty good and there is a little sliver of shoreline for our dog. Just make sure you are out of the channel as barges do go by at night.

Tim is the man! He will go out of his way to make sure you are comfortable and have anything and everything you need. He even let us use his car at 11pm to take our dog to the emergency vet.

Anchorage Review for Gum Neck Boat Ramp

There is a boat ramp here for the doggo but it is hard to see and if you aren't looking for it on the right coming in you'll miss it.

We rode out a storm with 30+knot gusts and didn't move at all. Depth on the way in we never saw under 7.

Just stayed for the afternoon to get some flounder and shrimp for dinner. Pretty straight forward stop, south dock for pleasure boats. Would stop again when they have scallops!

The entrance to this looks worse than it is, had 8ft almost the whole way in. This is an absolute hidden gem!

We had the whole place to ourselves and the hot tub was awesome! The showers were clean and felt like a spa it was great!

Walking around the community was great as well everyone we saw was very friendly and chatted with us along the way.

Would definitely go out of my way to stay again.

This was a great marina, clean bathrooms and showers. Bar onsite was a great perk as well.

We rode out a nice 30knot blow for a few days and it was nice and protected back in the corner of the bay.

About a mile walk into town which wasn't bad at all and completely worth the price difference between here and the other marinas.

This anchorage is awesome right in the heart of the city with easy shore access with the dinghy dock. We woke up to wild horses on the shore line.

Great holding in the sand and had a great nights sleep.

Dropped the hook in about 10ft of water and it was a great spot for the night. The center consoles were a bit out of hand though, even had one wake surfing at 8pm which was kicking up a hell of a wake.

Easy shore access with the dinghy dock and then it was easy to hit the first bridge opening in the morning going north.

Anything but a 4 or 5 star is crazy. Free dockage with the purchase of dinner. The resturant is awesome as well, the beer and wine is self serve and you can sit on the boat and eat. What more do you need in life??

Great spot in Myrtle Beach, close to Publix and the beach if you have a bike or electric scooters. 357 is an awesome happy hour spot.

Bathrooms were clean and the water pressure in the shower was great.

Only downside was we were in the North Basin and if boats come by and kick up a wake you are exposed.

This anchorage is awesome if you are wanting to stay in Charleston and not break the bank with a marina.

There is a nice dinghy dock at the park, publix is 5 minute away and you can walk into downtown if you want. The uber is also like 8 bucks.

Well its okay.

We didn't make it to our dock before running aground and you do get knocked around quite a bit when a boat goes by or the water taxi comes in.

Free laundry and clean bathrooms are a perk.

Stayed on a mooring ball for a week and it was a great spot as Beaufort is an awesome town to explore! If you have the time go to Rotten Little Bastard distillery and try the gin it is amazing! The ability to walk to all restaurants and bars in town is a win.

Bathrooms could use a little love here though.

Stayed here for an afternoon to work with a great view of Daufuskie Island. Were able to take the dog to shore at the restaurant just around the corner. It is a bit rolly with all the wakes and boats going by.

We came here because of the courtesy car as our dog was still struggling after our incident at Fort Frederica.

But this marina is nice, good showers and awesome staff members. It was very protected from the storm that rolled in over the weekend. We also stumbled into the St Pattys party in downtown Savannah.

Spent one night here and it was a great spot for an overnight. Easy shore access at the ferry dock for the dog.

Can be rolly if the wind comes from the south and the tide is going out.

This is an awesome anchorage and very beautiful. Shore access is good while its high tide but at low tide the shore access is brutal.

We actually had a horrible time here only because our dog choked on a stick while playing fetch at the fort. But the park ranger was awesome and gave us a ride to the vet and the people of St Simons are awesome.

Overall great spot we just had a freak accident happen.

The wife and I were planning on staying two nights but with some weather rolling in we ended up staying for a week.

Colin, Bob and Tristan are the absolute best, they go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great stay.

The local yacht club also gave me a ride to the Publix so we could get stocked up on groceries.

This is a place we will go out of our way to stay again.

The wife and I stayed here for a week in the North downtown field. It is the perfect spot to spend the week working from the boat and exploring the town. We did have a few rough days when cold front came in from the north and was blowing 20ish knots all day.

Clean bathrooms, laundry and a nice dinghy dock.

Spent one night here with our buddy boat out in the mooring field. Easy check in process at the fuel dock and everyone was awesome. Clean bathroom and showers (with very hot water).

Little over a mile walk to the beach and the main strip in Vero Beach. The wife and I ended up chatting with a very friendly local about the tornados when Milton was coming through.

Only downside I can see is if you don't have a buddy boat you may get rafted up with someone you don't know. Wouldn't bother me but if you aren't social could be a con.

We stayed here for a few nights, we did drag one night in a about a 30 knot blow but I put that one on us not setting the anchor as well as we could have.

When entering go close to marker 20 I went on the north side and a buddy boat went on the south side. You can go further in than you think, we anchored where the mangrove entrance starts

Good anchorage with great holding and protection from a south blow. We stayed one night as we traveled north, easy access from ICW.

Walked about a mile to Home Depot, there were also many of stores around.
