Thanks for the video! I used it two years ago to go from Wrightsville Beach to Southport and back on our 18' Crestliner pontoon boat 75 HP. The Cape Fear was a little dicey going back but was a great adventure. Last year, using your video, we went from Southport to the Myrtle Beach Grande Dunes. Spent the next day exploring the Waccamaw and this year we're going from Southport all the way to Charleston, spending the night in Myrtle Beach and Georgetown on the way. Your video has made the adventure easy! Thanks!
did the same trip from southport NC on a 25ft cruiser, a wonderful trip. Spent the night in george town . Love the video was nice to remember the scenes THANK YOU!
My house was on your port side at 5:43 seconds into the video. Second from the last house before the highway 31 overpass when you’re headed south. Great video. Thanks. And that railroad bridge by highway 501 never closes. The train stopped servicing Myrtle Beach in 1988
Bryan, thank you! I appreciate the info about the railroad bridge. I didn't realize it was completely out of service. Sometimes I have to collect data from charts and waterway guides and go with that...but always appreciate the local knowledge!
@@jordantdavis10 do you still travel the ICW up this way anymore. If so I have a weather station and the Info is real time and accessible to anyone anywhere. Weather underground app or webpage. My name is kscmyrtl198. Wind speed, temperature, rain total, humidity etc. enjoy and be safe
Hi Bryan. My wife and I are looking at property on the ICW. Do you know what speeds are allowed on this water? My issue with buying is that there is only the north and south inlets, basically meaning i have to travel 20-25 miles to hit the ocean. It would be nice if they were planning another cut out.
Was stationed on the USS Harwood in Charleston years ago in 1971 and on the USS Strong in 1972. Both were Reserve Training Ships. Loved Charleston and Isle of Palms. Have friends who still live there. Was so sad to hear the news when they shut Charleston Naval Base down.
Ty, have been watching, have family in little river and will be traveling the icw from long island ny to littlle river this spring 2022. V informative, clear and to the point, thanks again!
Great video... I grew up in Socastee and have been in that water my whole life from Socastee to Georgetown and on the Waccamaw from the ICW up to Conway... Enjoyed the ride along... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me
@Jakob Braylen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
True story ,left chas, heading, to Myrtle beach, we fuled up George town, 4 miles from there in the.middle coastal, at 40 m.p.h. we hit a sand bar .in the center, watch out you people.
Wow, I hate to hear that. I most recently ran this section of the waterway on June 10 and June 13, 2022. No issues. It is easy to mistake the red #2 for the Great Pee Dee River as a red ICW marker, which would put you too far west. Not sure if that's the where you were? Hope everyone was OK...sandbar at 40mph is no joke.
We hit a sandbar in a very swampy area of Calabash and were stuck for hours until the tide started going back up + literally had to get in the water and start pushing it. Really scary experience as we didn't have any service and never saw another boater. I was thinking we might die out there LOL.
About 4.5 hours running 30-32mph. I didn't keep notes on fuel burn, but my guess would be somewhere around 30 gallons in my Grady with a Yamaha F300XCA.

Yep! There are many places to refuel along the way. There are few marinas in along the Waccamaw River, then of course, Georgetown. Once you leave Georgetown, I can't think of a marina until McClellanville. After McClellanville it's Isle of Palms and then you're nearly to Charleston Harbor. Enjoy the trip!
I just bought a 2022 TahoeT16 and want to go from Myrtle to Charleston also it has a Mercury 75hp and 13 gallon tank so I will have to fuel at least once up and once back starting with a full tank both ways any suggestions where to fuel

It is my personal boat, a 2018 Grady-White 251 Coastal Explorer. A similarly equipped 2020 model would sell for about $135k-$140k depending on where you are.
@@lovettej Yes, but I went out Cape Fear River and came in Charleston, that's the biggest time savings. I'm not sure how much time you'd save running out of Little River (just north of Myrtle) and coming in Charleston, because the shape of the coast at Georgetown would require you to run off shore a bit more. I guess it depends on the boat you're in...if you're in something large enough you have to slow down for everything you pass, then yes, worth it. If you're in a 28', probably not.

Great! I so glad you're enjoying the water and I was able to help just a tiny bit.
As someone who frequently travels over the Socastee swing bridge, I really loved what you said about being courteous!!

Very Nice. My name is Ricardo Florence and I lived in Murrles Inlet in 1992. WHS. Great video. Congrats.
Thanks for watching!
Another great video, and I'm looking to do a trip from around southport the Charleston this year!
Thanks! I'll be making that same trip, leading about 25 of my customers' boats in June. Enjoy!
That was excellent ✅😎
Ty, have been watching, have family in little river and will be traveling the icw from long island ny to littlle river this spring 2022. V informative, clear and to the point, thanks again!
We are your first viewers. We watch all ICW vids. Nice job on your vlog. Fair winds.

Great "How To" Video Jordan, Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very enlightening video jordan thank you
Great video!
Than you for posting this, I enjoyed it.
3:50 Odd edit 😂
Great trip thanks for sharing!
Great video! If ever you’re back down there, would love to see a trek from CHS down to Kiawah/Seabrook.
I would love to do that! It's been about 15 years since I've traveled south of Charleston in the ICW. Hopefully soon!
That's just a 30 min boat ride for us here or about 4 cases of beer long if slow cruising.
Nice . . Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing. Would love to take that journey but that probably will not happen.
I hope you do! Once you get south of Myrtle Beach, it's some of the most beautiful waterway.
Well done.
Does the water get shallow?
How long did it take to do this trip?

We should have started thinking, why about, the 8 boats, at full stop, we ended up from middle to 3inches,of water.o boy all stop

Love more info on marinas and cost
Jackie, you should check out dockwa.com/ They have many marinas listed and you can make your reservation right through their site!
Nice video
Curious about the total time and fuel costs for your trip?
About 4.5 hours running 30-32mph. I didn't keep notes on fuel burn, but my guess would be somewhere around 30 gallons in my Grady with a Yamaha F300XCA.

Do you have to pay and reserve a parking spot at the docks?
I just bought a 2022 TahoeT16 and want to go from Myrtle to Charleston also it has a Mercury 75hp and 13 gallon tank so I will have to fuel at least once up and once back starting with a full tank both ways any suggestions where to fuel

How long did this trip take?
It's a bout 4.5 hours running 30 +/- MPH and being mindful of all the no-wake zones.
Nice trip! What was the total trip time?
Thanks! About 4-4.5 hours depending on where you final destination is around Charleston. Hope you'll make the trip soon!
Is that your personal boat and if so how much did you purchase it for?
It is my personal boat, a 2018 Grady-White 251 Coastal Explorer. A similarly equipped 2020 model would sell for about $135k-$140k depending on where you are.
@@jordantdavis10 good lord how much are those payments?
How long did it take you? I am looking to do the same thing. Thanks.
4.5 hours at 32 mph. Good luck!
@@jordantdavis10 Thanks much! Have you run this outside before? Wonder how much time that would cut off. Great Videos, thanks for posting them!
