Who We Are

Your Neighbor onthe Water

Public Water Marine was founded with a simple mission: give Lake Wateree boat owners the same quality service they'd get at a premium shop — without the tow bill, the wait, or the runaround.

We run two shops in South Carolina — Lugoff and Lexington — and we bring the same hands-on experience out to your dock when that is easier. Yamaha and Mercury outboards, MerCruiser sterndrives, Suzuki, and marine electrical systems.
