Ahoy Matey's, Pete the Pirate here wishing everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July holiday.

Speaking of safety, this is a very busy holiday here at Savannah Lakes Marina. We will have boats lined up in the cove waiting to get into the gas dock, please be patient for the next available spot to tie up and refuel your boat. I want to add a very important request as well here, please please if you are towing your kids or your adult kids on tubes behind your boat please bring them into your boat before coming into the cove. Again there will be many boats circling the cove waiting to get gas and having your kids 75 feet behind your boat in close quarters with other boats is very very dangerous. Please observe the no wake zone in, around and near the marina and the fuel dock. No Wake is also known as Idle Speed Zone.

Also, please remember if you are the pilot of your boat that alcohol and the lake do not mix. Please let's keep this a safe and accident free holiday on the lake.

Ahoy Mateys!
Pete the Pirate here. We are at the start of Memorial Day Weekend. The lake is going to be quite busy for the next three days.

Today is the last day of National Safe Boating Week. Let us all keep safe boating first and foremost in our minds when we are piloting our watercrafts up and down this wonderful lake we enjoy. Remember there are rules and regulations for everyone to follow when you are at the helm. NO WAKE ZONES are the same as IDLE SPEED ZONES. They are within 100 feet of docks, that includes all the private docks on the lake as well as the six marinas on the lake. Please everyone be mindful of your wake and the damage it can cause to others safety. And always remember alcohol and water do not mix when piloting your vessel.

Here at Savannah Lakes Marina in recognition of National Safe Boating Week, we are offering from now until May 31, 2025 a 10% discount on your gas purchase if you show you have taken a safe boating course from America's Boating Club. Plus to members of America's Boating Club and anyone who has taken their safe boating course we are offering from now until June 30, 2025 a 5% discount on your first year slip lease here at Savannah Lakes Marina.

Arrg.... Mateys don't forget about all the hidden treasures at Savannah Lakes Marina. We have a treasure chest full of ice cold creamy ice cream treats, and a pot of boiled peanuts and hot dogs, and for your sweet tooth we have candy. Stop on by, we will help you tie up your pirate ship and fill it up with gas, and fill your tummy up with all kinds of goodies.

Ahoy Mateys! Pete the pirate here. We are gearing up here at Savannah Lakes Marina for the upcoming holidays. Mother's Day is this weekend. We are here to rent you a pontoon boat or to fill up your boat with ethanol free gas to take Mom sailing on the High Seas.

Don't forget Mateys Memorial Day weekend is just 2 weeks away. There is only 1 pontoon left to rent, don't let this one get away.

Arrgg, don't let the word get out, but the Ship's Store located at the fuel dock is full of treasures. It is one of the best kept secrets on the lake. We have a treasure chest full of ice cream. We have other riches too, like boiled peanuts, soft drinks and snacks.

And Mateys don't forget, if you need a place to tie up your pirate ship we have some covered slips available here. We even have some open slips available if you are sailing a tall ship. Remember slip holders here get an additional bounty of 10% off your fuel purchase.

The time has finally come. The dock contractor has arrived and repairs are in progress here at Savannah Lakes Marina. We are excited to see the work begin. We here at the marina apologize for all the inconveniences the storm damage has created over the past 5 months, and we appreciate your continued support.

10/05/2024

To everyone, please understand the Ship's Store is closed until further notice. We can not sell gas as the gas has been shut off at the storage tank u til the gas line can be inspected. This can't be done until the docks are back in place and stabilized.

Also there is no water at the Ship's Store so the restroom facilities are closed as well.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. We will be making repairs as soon as we can.

To everyone who has their boat at Savannah Lakes Marina. We did suffer some major damage due to Hurricane Helene.
I meet with our insurance adjuster and a major dock builder this morning. The two are working together to come up with a plan to get the marina up and running again. The sailboat dock A dock and B dock all broke loose from thier anchors. The main walkway where these docks were attracted is twisted with splintered deck boards sticking up. There are only a few boats with some minor damage.

Please be patient we are working with the adjuster and the dock builder to get things up and running again until full repairs can be made. As most of you know we still do not have any power which means no phone service no cell service and no internet. There is no access to the 3 docks I have mentioned. I am trying my best to meet with people on the docks as well as take care of repairs on my own home.

Thanks for your patience and consideration.

We received some updated projections today for the lake levels that we wanted to pass along. Also included is a link showing ramp elevations around the lake that you will find helpful in the coming months.

The Savannah River Basin lake projects, including Thurmond Lake, have officially hit drought trigger 2. As a result, outflows will be reduced to 3,600 cfs daily average. The lake elevation today is 323.34’ msl. The current 10-week projection, updated today, indicates that the lake elevation is projected to be near 323.0’ msl by mid-November, then start climbing in early December to 325’ msl by early to mid-January
