A Local Legacy

In view of the Charleston Harbor and the James Island Connector, Ripley Light Marina has served the Lowcountry since 1988. We’ve watched the area change and evolve over the years, but our commitment to excellent service—and our love for local waters—has remained the same. 

Our full-service marina takes a no-nonsense approach to boating. Our goal is to get you on the water as quickly and seamlessly as possible, taking care of every detail from moving, washing, fueling, and battery-checking your vessel to safe, long-term storage and maintenance when needed.
