70 feet long. 26 feet wide. Built for the Charleston Harbor, handled with ease.

The Palmetto Spirit vessel is part of Charleston’s Harper cruise fleet. When she recently came through our Yonges Island shipyard, our travel lift crew got her Hall, serviced, and back to work.

Keeping passenger vessels, moving safely and on schedule — that’s the job.

Bringing the Sea Level in for repairs.

One of North Carolina’s working ferries stopped through our Yonges Island shipyard recently to get the maintenance it needs to stay in service and keep coastal communities connected.

With $7 million in new state funding supporting the ferry system, vessels like the Sea Level can stay running strong for the people who rely on them every day.

The sun rises over more than a century of hard work on Yonges Island, South Carolina.

Stevens Towing has stood its ground here lifting, hauling, and repairing whatever comes our way. Generations of crews have kept this yard running. They carry forward a legacy built on early mornings, skill, and a crew that shows up every single day.

Sunrise over Yonges Island, and another vessel heads out.

Before sunrise, our tugs are already moving. Keeping projects on schedule and commerce flowing along the coast.

Reliability doesn’t sleep.

From a small passenger boat in 1878 to a fleet of powerful tugs and lifts today. The Stevens Towing story is over a century in the making.

Still family-owned after all these years, our South Carolina roots run as deep as our history. From local barrier islands to coasts nationwide. We have stayed committed to providing reliable marine transportation and shipyard services.

Inside the HAZAR: once stranded in the mud of Bohicket Creek, now safely in our Yonges Island shipyard.

Our team carefully removed this 120-foot former Navy torpedo retriever, helping protect South Carolina’s waterways while preserving a piece of maritime history.

Them: “How big is that travel lift?”

Us: “This big” (arched back, arms stretched as wide as possible)

This massive piece of machinery seen here is the Marine Travelift 820 Mobile Boat Hoist located at our Yonges Island Shipyard near Charleston, South Carolina. It stands 70 feet high by 87 feet wide and can handle vessels up to 820 metric tons (1.8 million lbs). Making it the largest marine travel lift in South Carolina and among the largest in the entire Southeast.

It’s a game-changer for marine services across the Southeastern United States. And it is entirely American-made.
