The Fripp Island Marina is a full-service facility on Old House Creek. The marina is located just miles from the Intracoastal Waterway
Marina Services
We offer every service and convenience you could think of. Our staff will be happy to get your boat ready to go, using the in-out ramp service. If you prefer to ready your own boat, take advantage of the marina’s gasoline and diesel services, as well as the pump-out station. Our knowledgeable staff can offer docking assistance, or tell you about our boat cleaning service.
If you are interested in leaving your boat at Fripp Island? The marina has 65 convenient wet slips, and 120 dry slips for long-term storage.
For everything else boat- and water-related, the Marina Store is your destination. Here you will find restrooms and showers, for those leaving or returning from a boat trip. Make sure your boat is stocked with live and frozen bait, tackle, sunscreen, ice and drinks, or pack your cooler with sandwiches and salads from our deli.
Charter Services
Let’s not forget fishing! Choose offshore or inshore fishing, accompanied by one of our experienced charter guides. If you choose offshore fishing in the Gulf Stream, chances are good you’ll catch sailfish, mahi-mahi, barracuda, kingfish, marlin, wahoo, grouper or snapper.
If you prefer inshore fishing, the South Carolina coast is the place for you. Trout, flounder, red drum, cobia, tarpon and Spanish mackerel are plentiful around Fripp Island.
Fishing Tournaments
The Fripp Island Resort Marina is proud to host a number of Fishing Events throughout the year
We kick off the season in April with the annual Fripp Island Marina Mackerel Tourney. Catch the largest king mackerel, wahoo, dolphin or Spanish mackerel and win a prize. The fisherman who catches the largest cobia gets a special prize.
In May, we host the Warm-Up Kingfish Tourney. Enjoy a Lowcountry boil for dinner, and hit the water at sunrise. At 6 p.m., all fish are weighed in, and prizes are awarded for the largest king mackerel, wahoo, delphin, cobia or Spanish mackerel. A youth angler prize is given to fishermen 16 and under who catch the largest fish of any category.
In August, we celebrate the annual Kingfish Tourney. Catch the largest kingfish or Spanish mackerel, you win! A youth angler prize is given to fishermen 16 and under who catch the largest fish of either category.
Fishermen ages 6 to 15 have their own event, the Kids’ Fishing Tourney, in November. Held the day after Thanksgiving, fishermen angle for trout, bass, flounder, spot and croaker. Participants can fish from the marina docks, a boat, in the surf, your private fishing hole or from the Maxwell Memorial Bridge. There’s no entry fee, but fishermen must supply their own rod, reel and tackle. Prizes are given for the largest fish in each category.
