About

Jakes Landing Marina serves boaters on Lake Murray in Lexington, South Carolina, with dry, wet and land storage options. This marina near Lexington asks dry-storage customers to call the store with their name and required time so their boat can be placed in the water before arrival. Weekend requests from April through Labor Day require at least one hour of advance notice, while weekday requests also need at least an hour’s notice. Storage planning is based on the boat’s length, width, height and desired time frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old do you have to be to rent a boat in South Carolina?

South Carolina law does not set a numeric minimum age to operate a rented motorboat or personal watercraft. Under S.C. Code Section 50-21-95, a person born after July 1, 2007, must meet one of the law's qualifications before operating a vessel powered by an engine of 10 horsepower or more, a personal watercraft, or a specialty propcraft. For a rental, a valid boat rental safety certificate issued in the operator's name qualifies. SCDNR says the rental certificate is valid for 30 days. The rental operator sets its own minimum age, so confirm it when booking.

Do you need a boating license in South Carolina?

Yes, some recreational operators need a South Carolina boating safety certificate rather than a traditional boating license. Anyone born after July 1, 2007 must have one before operating a vessel with an engine of 10 horsepower or more, a personal watercraft, or a specialty propcraft. The rule states no separate minimum operator age; an uncertified person may operate when accompanied by a qualified adult at least 18.

Exemptions include people born on or before the cutoff, nonresidents with another state's equivalent certificate, and holders of qualifying Coast Guard credentials. Renters may use an SCDNR approved rental safety certificate, valid for 30 days and only on rented craft. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources administers the program.

What are the best places to go boating in South Carolina?

South Carolina’s best boating areas range from tidal coastal waterways to large reservoirs, mountain lakes and free flowing rivers. On the coast, Charleston Harbor connects boaters with the Intracoastal Waterway and nearby saltwater routes. Lake Murray in the Midlands is a major reservoir used for boating and water sports, while Upstate Lake Jocassee offers clear water and mountain scenery.

The Santee Cooper Lakes provide an expansive connected lake system, and the Edisto River offers a quieter river option with access from Colleton State Park.
