Take a minute to slow down. There’s beauty in the grit - in the quiet strength of a vessel ready to work.

Stevens Towing recently completed repairs on the Spirit of Carolina, a 90-ft passenger yacht operating dinner cruises in Charleston, SC.

Using our Marine Travelift, our team provided maintenance to ensure this 300-ton vessel, remains in top condition. These tour vessels work around tight schedules, keeping to schedule and hitting the designated maintenance windows is of utmost importance as they pre-sell tickets for upcoming trips or events. Quality repairs keep vessels operating safely and efficiently—that’s what we do.
