"Transient slip" isn't something a map listing tracks — it's marina terminology for short-term, overnight dockage held for visiting boaters, and a marina's listing gives no hint whether any exist or whether the docks are entirely leased out to permanent tenants. Every marina here is confirmed from its own site or dockmaster info to actually offer transient slips, not just seasonal or annual rentals.

Marinas with Transient Slips near Charleston
Good to know
What is a transient slip at a marina?
A transient slip is a dock space rented out short-term — usually by the night or week — to boaters passing through, as opposed to slips leased long-term to a marina's regular tenants. Availability depends entirely on how much of the marina's dock space is committed to permanent renters.
Do you need a reservation for a transient slip?
It's not always required, but it's strongly recommended, especially at busy marinas during peak boating season when transient space can fill up. Calling the marina's dockmaster ahead of time is the standard way to confirm space and get current rates.
