Updated March 29, 2007
Everyone,
Hey guys! Been a busy Summer. Lots of fishing and boating activity. The Belle Isle Marina Bar & Grill has been a nice additional to our Marina.
Open from Thursday through Sunday Morning, Sandra and her crew have done an excellent job preparing great steak and seafood specials along
with the usual excellent menu.
Special recognition goes to Wingshooter Captained by Bill Moxley and the crew Dennis Hopkins, Jeff Effird, and Will Hancock. Last month they
won the Volvo Penta award for total aggregate points for fish caught in the Tred Barta\Camp Woodie Marlin Tournament for Kids. These gentlemen
took their time, expertise, and equipment and transformed this event into an experience these kids will never forget. Cole Hancock, Justice Hancock,
Dylan Moxley, Staci Genthner, Danielle and Katlyn Case were the young anglers that placed in King, Dolphin, Tuna, and 1st place Wahoo @ 59.8 lbs,
reeled in by Justice. Congratulations to all and special thanks to Tred Barta and GT Landing for a fantastic event. What a great showing by a Belle Isle boat.
Regards,

Hey Guys!
What a beautiful weekend we just experienced. Several boats took an early shot at the offshore fishing season with excellent results.
Double-Dare owned by Tom Poole made their first trip ever on his new boat and congrats to the crew as they scared up a 200lb Blue Marlin.
Reel Maloy scored a couple of Wahoo, one weighing in around 68lbs. Some of the biggest Sea Bass I’ve ever seen were brought in by Crazy Love, Oceanblood, and St. Nicholas.
I encourage everyone to come down to the Marina anytime and enjoy the wonderful facility we have. Around 5pm on fishable weekends,
you can get a good look at the catch of the day and hear some of the biggest lies ever told. Just a great start to the season; it’s only beginning.
1. The Ships Store continues to stock up. We now have ice, bait, drinks, and snacks as well as miscellaneous boat supplies and cleaners.
Hopefully, the weather will continue to cooperate and give us an early season. The equipment for the grill has been delivered and installation
will continue over the next couple of weeks.
2. Again, please observe all the Construction signs as you drive through to the Marina. There may be an occasional delay for truck and material
loading and unloading, just be patient. Remember, everyday they work is one less day of inconvenience for us all. Again, remember that the Coast
Guard Road is for loading and unloading only. No overnight or long-term unattended parking is allowed.
3. The transient season should be in full swing in April and hopefully we can capitalize on the contacts and vessels we serviced in the fall. The comments
from our visitors are extremely complimentary. Most visitors comment on the beauty of the area and how well we blended a Marina that compliments the environment.
We should all be very proud of our new facility.
4. As always you are encouraged to call me with any questions, problems, or suggestions. Feel free to do so. 843-546-8491. If I am not available, Steve Hedrick can also help you.
Regards,

Hello Everyone,
Quite a difference from the last update as noted by the new banner. The full moon rise over the Marina is
spectacular in the fall and winter. We are looking for a great year in 2007. As we progress toward the spring,
the Grill will be operational to serve food and beverage needs. Please bear with us as we put the finishing touches
on a beautiful facility.

Updated October 1, 2006
The in-water portion of the Marina is now open to take vessels of Belle Isle Yacht Club members.
Slip leases can now be executed from now till the end of the year. Please contact me as soon as
possible to take care of necessary paperwork, slip assignments, and payment. I also need to receive some
feedback on which size dockbox you would prefer so an order can be placed of significant quantity.
Model 418 measures 48” wide by 20” high by 18” deep. Model 518 would be 60” wide. All dockboxes will
be sold at the Marina’s cost or leased for $10 per month whichever you choose.
All in-water services except Wi-Fi are operational. Remember that A and B dock pedestals all have 50 amp
service and you may need an adapter if your shore power cord is 30 amp. Fueling will begin no later
than October 1, 2006. Obviously, the Marina Building is not operational and limits certain services
such as ice, bait, and typical ship’s store items. It also limits the ability to run payments through
credit card, so plan payments by cash or check for the next few weeks. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Please be advised that the Rules and Regulations and Slip / Trailer rates are posted on the Marina website
@ www.belleislemarinasc.com, or you may pick up a copy from the temporary marina office located across the
hall from the temporary marina bathrooms in the Belle Isle Yacht Club. The Marina phone # is 546-8491.
Please call in advance of bringing a boat on the property by water or trailer and I can direct you on placement

This is a very exciting time for the Belle Isle Marina. We are getting very close to opening up the
"in-water" portion for our use within the next two weeks. The actual date will be announced on the Marina and Belle Isle Yacht Club website,
so keep in touch with these sites. Hopefully the Marina Building and ramp will not be far behind to
provide us with a full service, first class marina.
Our ramp will likely be renovated shortly after Labor Day which
will interrupt access during shrimp baiting season, however the
in-water portion will still be available. I ask once again, do not cross over
or proceed beyond any construction barricade signs, tape or fencing. This is not only for
your safety but also protection for systems, wiring, and fuel that may be under construction.
The maintenance area is ready to receive trailered boats. We have
some tree trimming to do and identifying an area for washdown. Area lighting will be installed shortly.
Any boats that were moved for this construction have the following choice of parking at this time.
You may relocate to the Marina parking area or move to the Maintenance parking area. These rates
are $65 per month and $45 per month respectively. If you are unable to move your boat by September 1st,
nor contacted Belle Isle Marina @ 843-546-8491, it will be moved to the Maintenance area. As the layout
develops for this area, you will be given an assigned, numbered slot. Size will determine which boats
will be allowed to park in either area and must be coordinated with the Marina Manager. In the near future,
the Marina Area will need more parking spaces for vehicles and will have limited availability for boats on
trailers, hence more boats will be occupying space in the maintenance area. At this transition occurs the
rate as approved by the Marina Committee will change to $75 per month for trailered boats in the Marina
Parking area.
Belle Isle Yacht Club nor Belle Isle Marina has never been obliged to
provide every homeowner with a place to park a trailered boat. Our current situation is dictated
as a result of meeting code requirements for the renovated Marina. We may have availability for
only 35 to 40 boats on trailers. The demand over supply will increase as new condo owners come
in and realize their boat may not fit under their unit. We will be pushing for annual contracts
for these spaces and this may be the only way to lock in availability for the future. I request
everyone's patience during this transition.
I strongly encourage everyone to review the new Rules and Regulations for
the Marina whether you are a boat owner or not. These may be downloaded from the Marina Website
or a copy can be picked up in the temporary office in the Yacht Club across from the restrooms on
the first floor that serve as temporary restrooms for the marina as well.

A big congratulations goes out to Cam Kreps, boatowner of the 'Doko', and especially to first-time angler Lisa Gambrell for the
tag and release of this beautiful White Marlin. The first spot on the Belle Isle Braggin' Board belongs to you.
Also, thanks to everyone for their patience during the July 4th holiday. Cooperation with the temporary launch and load only
rule helped minimize headaches to those working in the area.

I appreciate everyone’s patience during the construction phase of the Marina.
There are several reasons we have launch and load only on weekends.
1. Safety- the docks are incomplete with open holes and no fire protection.
Fuel and water lines are continually being monitored for pressure testing. The workers during the week do not
need the pressure or insurability risk of boaters attempting to use the facilities.
2. Warranty- Sound Marine will provide a 5-year warranty on the dock system once complete and accepted as complete by
the Belle Isle Marina committee. Use by boaters of an incomplete dock system may damage components and create lasting warranty issues.
3. CO- just like any permitted construction project we must obtain a certificate of occupancy from Georgetown County and the
Fire Marshall prior to utilizing the marina dock system.
Ramp access for the upcoming July 4th weekend will be from 5:00pm on June 30th through 7pm on July 4th. Launch and Load only.
The marina office phone # is 843-546-8491. No one is more disappointed than myself to have use of an amenity restricted to
launch and load only during the prime season. It will serve to make me appreciate our new facilities when open.
The latest schedules show the marina completion sometime in August and the marina building the first half of September.
Please observe and stay out of the restricted areas marked with yellow caution tape or barricades.
A new Lottery date will be set soon and the parameters of that Lottery sent to everyone.
Once again, thank you for your patience and let us continue to work together through this difficult transition.

All
components of the dock system are on site and installation will resume the
first week of June. The ramp will be closed from May 30th through June
16th. This will allow necessary trench utility work and hopefully the much
needed repair to the ramp itself. For everyone's safety, we ask that you do
not enter the construction area as indicated by the yellow caution tape.
Thank you for your cooperation.
