Thank You for Five Great Years
It's hard to believe that it has been five years since The City Boatyard purchased the old Halsey Cannon Boatyard, transforming it into a top level yacht service facility. Improvements since 2005 include:
- Being named South Carolina's only Green Boatyard by the SC Marine Association
- New docks
- Renovation of the paint facility and purchase of the Big Top paint facility from the South Carolina Maritime Foundation
- Opening of the Mobile Service Office at The City Marina
- Installation of the rinse water recycling plant
- New sea wall and land grading to expand space
The City Boatyard is committed to continuous improvements to the facility and services. We thank you for your patronage over the past five years.

The change was made because of steady year-to-year improvement in forecasting storm tracks, senior hurricane specialist Lixion Avila said. Watches and warnings already have been issued earlier for individual storms.

seal in seconds

- Has an incredible 950 PSI Tensile Strength

- and more....
