Where St. Simons Island boaters launch and cruise
St. Simons Sound separates the island from Jekyll Island and leads to the Atlantic, and the Brunswick River and the marshes of Glynn lie to the west. The Hampton River runs along the island’s north end. Marinas on the island and in Brunswick host cruising sailboats and fishing boats.
The marshes of Glynn are some of the largest salt marshes on the East Coast, and tidal creeks can drain nearly dry at low tide, so shallow-draft boats and good tide timing are essential.
What people run and fish for in St. Simons Island
Redfish, trout and tarpon in summer, and offshore fishing on the reefs. Bay boats and sailboats are common.
Battery care for St. Simons Island boats
Big tides and currents call for strong trolling batteries and careful anchoring.
Salt marsh creeks and inlets are tough on boats. Secure batteries well for rough inlet runs, and rinse terminals after salt trips.
The Southeast Atlantic coast has hot summers and mild winters. Most boats stay in use year round, but some owners lay up for a few months in winter. Keep batteries charged and terminals clean.
Choosing the right battery
Bay boats, skiffs and shallow-water rigs
Most bay boats on St. Simons Sound run a 24V or 36V bow-mount trolling motor plus a separate cranking battery for the outboard. A 36V lithium bank, such as a single EPOCH 36V or Interstate 36V battery, replaces three Group 27 or 31 lead-acid batteries and drops well over 100 pounds from the stern, which helps a skiff float shallower. Keep the cranking battery separate so a long day on the trolling motor never leaves you unable to start.
Offshore center consoles
Center consoles that run offshore from St. Simons Island usually have one cranking battery per engine plus a house battery for electronics, pumps and lights. For cranking, a Group 27 or 31 AGM with high marine cranking amps is the common choice. A lithium dual-purpose battery like the EPOCH 172Ah can serve as a house battery and an emergency start, and it weighs a fraction of an equivalent AGM.
Sailboats and cruising boats
Sailboats and cruisers in St. Simons Island rely on a house bank for lights, refrigeration, instruments and an autopilot, plus a starting battery for the auxiliary engine. A bank of 6V golf-cart batteries wired in series is a traditional choice; lithium banks like the EPOCH 12V 300Ah or Battle Born 100Ah give more usable capacity and recharge faster from solar or the engine.
