Boater Reviews
So I love the launch im the sense that it puts you in deep water, regardless of the tide, but it was overcrowded!! Parking is across the street and the lot was full, so we had to park on the road. The positive side is that it runs very smoothly. You come in one way and wait in line and there are three launch lanes.
The Murrells Inlet Public Boat Ramp is very user friendly and I am Grateful to the City, State and County as well as our forefathers for its usage. We are all truly blessed!! Thank You Lord.
Great place to watch fireworks. Too bad it rained. The lightning was actually a cool addition to the man made lights!
If you got a big Boat and you want to launch in Murrells Inlet, this is the spot. As you leave the landing after you’ve launched 🛻 parking is directly across the street.
This is a great boat ramp. 3 lanes to get you in and out quick. From 12ft to a 35ft boats with no problems. Well lit and maintained. Even a guy on a golf cart to shuttle you back and forth to and from the parking lot, but please TIP the man! Parking lot just repaved a few weeks ago!
