Abandoned boats a problem in Charleston area

We really like working with #WoundedNature to help clean up our local waterways!

abcnews4.com Believe it or not, abandoned boats are a common sight in Lowcountry waterways. But removing a boat isn't like towing a car. Removing them isn’t easy, it’s quite a process. It’s one of the major missions for local non-profit Wounded Nature. “In the past two years, we’ve....

Our team is working hard to get our final boats out ahead of TS / Hurricane Isaias.

The boatyard will be CLOSED on Monday, August 3rd and potentially closed on Tuesday, August 4th. We will keep this page updated with the latest information.

Cooper River Boatyard has initiated our Hurricane Haul Out protocols, so all other work has stopped while we focus on hauling out boats.

If you have a 2020 Hurricane Haul Contract, please contact us IMMEDIATELY at 843-554-7775 to schedule or decline your haul out.

Some people may ask why we start haul outs so early - there are a couple of reasons, but the primary reason is:

Once wind speeds reach 15 knots, we must shut down haul out operations, so time is of the essence. We cannot predict what Mother Nature may decide to do with this storm.

We are thrilled to announce that Cooper River Boatyard has a new Service Manager!! Desaray, our fiberglass / gel coat pro, is taking over the Service Manager position! We know she is going to be AMAZING!

We wish our departing Service Manager, Paul, all the best as he makes a move to the Aiken / Augusta area to be closer to family.

We have Hurricane Haul Contracts available for this coming Hurricane season!

Email us at [email protected] to secure your spot for the upcoming season!

In honor of President's Day - Cooper River Boatyard will be closed. We'll be back on the yard Tuesday, February 18th.
