Hilton Head Boat Slips FAQ
How much do boat slips cost on Hilton Head Island?
Boat slip prices vary by marina, slip length, depth, and location. Smaller slips often start around $55,000–$60,000, while deep-water and yacht slips in premium marinas like Harbour Town and Windmill Harbour can exceed $150,000–$500,000. Rental rates usually range $15–$35 per foot per month, depending on amenities and depth.
Do boat slips appreciate in value on Hilton Head?
Yes. Limited waterfront availability and strong year-round demand support long-term appreciation. Slips in Windmill Harbour, Harbour Town, and Skull Creek tend to appreciate fastest due to location and limited supply.
Are boat slips a good investment in Hilton Head?
Generally, yes. Hilton Head’s boating culture, high tourism traffic, and restricted supply create strong long-term value. Many owners benefit from both appreciation and seasonal rental income.
Are there HOA or MOA fees for Hilton Head boat slips?
Most marinas charge HOA or MOA dues to cover maintenance, security, utilities, dock upkeep, and shared amenities. Fees typically range from $100–$300 per month, depending on the marina and services.
Can I live on my boat in Hilton Head marinas?
Liveaboard rules vary by marina. Some allow limited or seasonal liveaboards, while others prohibit overnight stays altogether. Always check marina-specific guidelines before buying or renting a slip.
Can I rent out my boat slip when I’m not using it?
Yes. Many Hilton Head marinas allow short-term or long-term slip rentals, which can help offset HOA/MOA fees. Each marina has its own rules, so review the association documents for rental guidelines.
What amenities come with Hilton Head boat slips?
Common amenities include fueling stations, pump-out services, dockside power and water, 24/7 security, Wi-Fi, laundry, restrooms and showers, ship’s stores, dockhands, and nearby dining. Some marinas—like Windmill Harbour—also offer pools, clubhouses, or a private lock system.
What is the difference between deeded and leased boat slips?
