Pier 49 Marina

Public marina on the Charlotte shore near NC-49.

A public marina on York Road (NC-49) on the Charlotte side of Lake Wylie, close to the Buster Boyd Bridge and the main channel.

Pier 49 Marina sits on the North Carolina shore just off NC-49, a short run from the Buster Boyd Bridge — the busiest crossing on the lake and the dividing line most residents use when giving directions on the water.

Its location makes it practical for Steele Creek and southwest Charlotte boaters who want quick access to the main channel. The Lake Wylie Marine Commission lists it among the lake's public marinas; confirm current slip, fuel and storage availability with the marina directly.

Editor's Guidance

Keeping a boat on Lake Wylie

Lake Wylie is a Duke Energy reservoir of roughly 13,400 acres shared by North and South Carolina. Owners without a private dock choose between wet slips, covered slips, dry-stack (high-and-dry) storage and trailering from public ramps. Slips near the main channel and the Buster Boyd Bridge fill first.

Waitlists, boat-length limits and storage pricing change by season. If a home purchase depends on marina access, confirm availability in writing before you commit — and remember that boater-education and registration rules differ between the two states.

Before you commit

  • ◆Ask about waitlists and maximum boat length
  • ◆Compare wet slip, covered slip and dry-stack pricing
  • ◆Confirm fuel, pump-out and service availability
  • ◆Check NC or SC registration and boater-education rules
