Amy & Seth {James Island Yacht Club}

31 Jul Amy & Seth {James Island Yacht Club}

Alright, now that you’re done pinning those adorable bow-backed bridesmaids dresses to your Pinterest boards, let’s dive head first into Amy and Seth’s darling wedding photographed by Dana Cubbage . Amy and Seth wanted to spend as much time together that day as possible so they opted to do a first look at the College of Charleston Cistern, which resulted in some incredibly beautiful moments among the oaks and historic manse. After some more shots of their dapper bridal party they headed across campus to Bethel United Methodist Church to get married (the same church where Seth’s parents had tied the knot years before). They headed over the bridges for the reception, which was held at the  James Island Yacht Club . The talented ladies of Pure Luxe Bride had transformed the space into Amy’s dream wedding full of blush linens, beautiful blooms, and, of course, plenty of sparkle. Amy even did a little costume change and slipped into a boho lace gown topped off with a flower crown—love it! The celebration continued until late in the night with eats from Crave Charleston Catering , sweets from Bakies , and tunes from The Finesse Band . So fun. Congrats to the darling couple!

James Island Yacht Club is a great place to do some boating and is also a really good event space. This area has some of the best views of Charleston from the water as you can see just about the entire Peninsula from a unique perspective. I really like the big dock and waterfront as it goes pretty far out on the water and is very peaceful and beautiful. The James Island Yacht Club is very well maintained and is a nice place to visit and be a part of.

Beautiful property and views! Bartenders were welcoming! We went in fall so a little rainy Still took the time to walk out on beautiful dock. A place I would love to join and relax in spring. Club building itself was smaller and older ..could use modernization or give it more of a perIod feel. If I lived in South Carolina I would definitely spend more time there.

What can I say about JIYC? It's a private yacht club, but growing up near it, you know how to get in, which is what I did most of my childhood. The gate was open most of the time back then, but now they are very stengy about it. If you're not a member, people will know it and approach you about it, but you can't blame them. They pay a decent amount to be in it. It's got THE BEST views of the city of Charleston around. If you're not a member, you could always just go to Sunrise Park next door. Jumping off the dock, shark tooth hunting, fishing, crabbing, sailing, swimming, that's what I spent most of my childhood doing there. It holds a special place in my heart, especially with Charleston being over run by transplants now.

I sailed here last year for the James Island Open. While I found race management to be good, the on shore support and club staff where quite nasty in their interactions with competitors. I found the guy running the lift to be needlessly rude, and the yard master managing the dry slips had his head so far up his you know what that I am not surprised he didn't see what was going on at all. I like good competition, but this was not a fun place to sail out of.

I love the James Island Yacht Club. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is one of the best views in Charleston. You are directly across from the downtown pennisula with the Ashley River Bride to the left and a beautiful view of the Ravenel Bridge and ocean to the right. Sunsets are amazing as you watch the sun disappear behind our beloved city. The bar is small and usually occupied by old men, but what else do you expect from an old yacht club. The facility is nice with a small reception hall and covered pavillion outside. There is a playground for the kids, and dock for fishing and boating. Find someone that's a member and ask them to take you to this hidden gem.

Really cool place to go watch the sunset, if you can get in. Private club. Had our wedding reception there and it was great. Room is a tight squeeze, so if hosting a wedding reception, don't expect to be able to have a sit down meal for more than 25 people.

Heather & Wes – James Island Yacht Club

It’s a wedding, on a boat!

Even Charleston natives appreciate the beauty of getting married here! Heather and Wes, residents of James Island, got married on the Charleston harbor on the deck of a boat while guests looked on from the pier of the James Island Yacht Club. It was a magical ceremony on the water, and as the happy couple disembarked, guests blew bubbles at them!  You can tell from the photos these two were completely in their element, and what better feeling than spending your wedding day like that? The party continued back on land as guests mingled and enjoyed the breathtaking sunset. Salthouse Catering provided food stations that allowed guests to enjoy dinner at their leisure while listening to the band and dancing the night away. Wishing you and your pup the happiest future together!!

NEW Dock at the James Island Yacht Club

You know you want it...

Mocka Jumbies and Rum...

James Island Yacht Club marked the grand opening of its new dock, located at the end of Wampler Drive in CharlestonHarbor, on James Island, SC, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, March 10th.  The Club’s Commodore, Mike Spivey, as well as many of the club’s members, and professionals who worked on the project were present for the ceremony. The new dock replaces the club’s former launching facilities located at the same site.

The club’s existing fixed pier and small launch float were replaced with a new fixed pier and 400’ of concrete floating docks from Bellingham Marine. “The [new] dock was constructed with great care and sacrifice by a dedicated group of yacht club members who served unselfishly to ensure its success,” remarked Spivey.

Situated at the end of the new fixed pier is a 240’ Unifloat dock for short term moorage and running parallel to the pier is a 160’ Unifloat launch dock.  Two new gangways provide pedestrian access to the floating docks from the pier and a hoist helps move boats in and out of the water.

“The new facilities have had a positive impact on the club as well as the community,” said David B. Hazeltine, lead architect on the project for Cusick Hazeltine Architects, LLC.  “Without Bellingham Marine’s involvement, the project would not have been supported by the club.  The company’s extra efforts and dedication to the process of working through the design and pricing made all the difference and made it a pleasure to work through the details.”

James Island Yacht Club was established over 100 years ago to promote sailing among its members and the community.  The club has an active membership base and is best known for their sailing programs, community events and most notably for the Special Olympics Regatta.

As the world’s leading marina design-build construction company, Bellingham Marine produces Unifloat® concrete floating dock systems as well as timber and metal frame systems.  The company also produces Unistack® dry stack systems for marinas worldwide.
