Boating around Hilton Head Island
Port Royal Sound lies to the north, Calibogue Sound to the south, and Broad Creek and Skull Creek wind through the island. Harbour Town, with its lighthouse, and Shelter Cove are well-known marinas.
Calibogue Sound opens to the Atlantic between Hilton Head and Daufuskie Island, which is reachable only by boat, so many Hilton Head boaters run there for a day trip. Port Royal Sound is deep and can get rough in wind, so solid battery mounts and a healthy cranking battery matter. Many homes in the island’s plantations have docks on the marsh creeks.
Fishing near Hilton Head Island
Redfish, trout, cobia and sharks inshore, and offshore fishing. Dolphin tours and sailing are popular.
Climate, storage and winterizing in Hilton Head Island
Big tides call for strong trolling batteries.
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.
Salt marsh creeks and inlets are tough on boats. Secure batteries well for rough inlet runs, and rinse terminals after salt trips.
Batteries that fit Hilton Head Island boats
Bay boats, skiffs and shallow-water rigs
Most bay boats on Port Royal 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
If you run twin or triple outboards, replace cranking batteries as a matched set. AGM batteries in Group 31 size are a dependable starting choice for big outboards, and many Hilton Head Island owners add a lithium house battery so the electronics never touch starting power. Check your engine maker’s cranking amp requirement before you choose.
Sailboats
Many sailboat owners around Calibogue Sound stay with AGM or flooded batteries for simplicity and cost. Whichever you choose, keep the house bank and starting battery separate, and replace all batteries in a bank at the same time.
How shipping to Hilton Head Island works
- Free lithium freight: lithium batteries over $150 ship free, curbside, to the lower 48.
- Parts and chargers: free shipping when your cart subtotal is $150 or more.
- Lead-acid and AGM: free curbside truck freight to the lower 48, the same as lithium.
- Curbside means the driver brings the shipment to the end of the truck at your curb or driveway.
- Inside delivery, or hard-to-reach spots like marinas with restricted access, may cost extra, so a home or business address is usually best.
