Boating in South Carolina: Lowcountry Creeks, the Grand Strand, and Lake Country

Of the 411 boats and yachts for sale in South Carolina on YachtBazar today, the median asking price is $44,900. By type, the most-listed here are powerboats (228), fishing boats (45) and center console boats (29). The makes add a home-state twist: Sea Hunt and Scout are both built in South Carolina, in Columbia and Summerville respectively.

The water here splits into three worlds. The Lowcountry — Charleston Harbor at the meeting of the Ashley and Cooper rivers, with the Intracoastal Waterway threading behind the sea islands south to Beaufort and St. Helena — is tidal creek and marsh country, where big tide swings and shallow flats favor exactly the skiffs and center consoles that run all through the listings. The Grand Strand up the coast (Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet) fishes the open Atlantic. And inland, South Carolina is a lake state: the Santee Cooper lakes (Marion and Moultrie), Lake Murray outside Columbia, Lake Hartwell on the Georgia border and Lake Keowee in the Upstate keep fishing boats and family runabouts appearing in listings from towns nowhere near salt water.

Charleston, Summerville, Mount Pleasant, Beaufort and Hilton Head carry the most listings statewide.
