Hurricane Program

North Myrtle Beach RV Resort and Dry Dock Hurricane Storage Plan (the Plan) is designed to help local boaters arrange for the care of their vessels in advance of a hurricane. The Plan provides boaters with haul-out and storage services in the event a named storm makes landfall for the Grand Strand area. (Assuming that the storm would likely have an adverse impact on boats left in the water.) The Plan is available to all Boaters. Space is limited. Boat lengths up to 35ft and 22,000 lbs, confirmation of boat size may be required. There is NO LIMIT to number of storms. The Plan is effective with a Hurricane warning issued in Horry County by the National Weather Service and boats may be hauled out at that time.
