What are the Best New Boats for Charleston Waters?

Charleston’s unique geography, from shallow tidal flats to choppy coastal inlets, requires a versatile boat. Here is what our experts recommend for local boaters:

1. Bay Boats and Center Consoles

For those targeting redfish in the flats or venturing out to the jetties, the Robalo Cayman series is a top seller. These boats offer a shallow draft for the backwaters but enough V in the hull to handle the harbor's afternoon chop.

2. Family Bowriders and Dual Consoles

If your weekends consist of sandbar hopping at Morris Island or towing the kids on tubes, the Chaparral SSi series or EdgeWater CX models provide the seating, storage, and shade you need for a full day on the water.

3. Luxury Day Cruisers

For the boater who wants to cruise to Shem Creek in style, Nimbus Boats offer enclosed cabins and social layouts that extend your boating season well into the cooler months.
