What Charleston marina operators deal with
Every market has its own operating realities. Here's what shapes day-to-day marina management in Charleston.
- Charleston's 5-6 foot tidal range requires all marinas to use floating dock systems with long gangways, and extreme tides can expose mud flats that affect vessel access and marina aesthetics.
- Charleston's historic district regulations control the appearance of waterfront structures, requiring marinas near the Battery and downtown to use approved materials, colors, and designs for any visible improvements.
