It’s hard not to get caught up in the wake of this tremendous announcement, the Spirit of Lake Murray is back!
Meet The Spirit
The Spirit of Lake Murray is an 80-foot Skipperliner yacht that offers an amazing experience for everyone on aboard. Originally hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, The Spirit arrived on Lake Murray in 2008, where she began nearly ten years of service as a charter boat and floating venue and saw nearly 11,000 guests annually. In 2019, The Spirit stopped sailing and became a beer garden and music fixture at Hollow Creek Marina in Leesville. In 2022, Lake Murray Tour Partners, operated by Norm Agnew and Rick Crout, purchased The Spirit and moved her to her new home in Ballentine near Shealy’s Landing. The Spirit has gone through a full interior and exterior makeover, including a complete rebuild of the bar, heads (bathrooms), and even the addition of a full-service galley (kitchen). The Spirit of Lake Murray is once again sailing on Lake Murray, providing a lifetime of memories.
