Wacca Wache Marina has served boaters, fishermen, and hunters in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina for more than 60 years, originally built in 1954 from remnants of local houses and cottages that floated down the waterway after Hurricane Hazel. Conveniently located at ICW Marker #57 on the Waccamaw River, amidst towering oak, cypress, and palmetto trees, the marina offers a relaxing, first-class stopover for boating enthusiasts and waterway travelers.

The marina’s name comes from the language of the Waccamaw Indians, a shortened combination of “Waccamaw” (happy waters) and “Wachesaw” (happy hunting), together meaning “happy, happy.” The full-service marina offers affordable wet slip and rack storage rates, boat trailer storage, fuel services, clean restrooms and showers, and now new and used boats for sale.

Wacca Wache Marina is also home to several on-site businesses: Plantation River Tours (a premier boat touring company), Beach House Boat Rentals, and a Grand Strand location of Freedom Boat Club. For dining, Deck 383 offers waterfront views right at dock level, serving lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch.

With 512 reviews at a 4.5 average, Wacca Wache Marina has built a substantial, decades-long reputation as one of Murrells Inlet’s most established boating destinations, conveniently close to Brookgreen Gardens, Huntington Beach State Park, and the MarshWalk.

For boaters looking for storage, fuel, dining, or access to on-site rental and tour operators, Wacca Wache Marina offers a historic, highly reviewed marina right on the Waccamaw River.
