Sun Life Drakes Creek Marina is a full-service marina located on Old Hickory Lake in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The marina describes itself as “Hendersonville’s Premier Marina Destination” and provides a range of boating amenities for slip holders, day boaters, and visitors. It operates as part of the Sun Life Marinas group and combines water access, storage, fuel, and supply services at a single waterfront site near Nashville.
Services
The marina offers wet slip rentals with more than 150 covered and uncovered slips. For dry storage, it operates a dry stack facility described as “state-of-the-art” with 275 racks, and it uses the SpeedyDock app to let boaters schedule launches and retrievals. Trailer storage and dedicated personal watercraft and jet ski slips are also available.
A travel lift is among the marina’s notable services. The facility advertises a 45,000 lb travel lift and states it is “the only one on Old Hickory Lake,” which supports haul-out, launch, and service needs for larger vessels.
The fuel dock supplies non-ethanol 90 octane gasoline. According to the amenities information, the fuel dock operates daily from 8am to 6pm on a seasonal basis. The on-site ship’s store stocks snacks, drinks, ice, sunscreen, boating supplies, and apparel, with hours that match the marina office schedule.
The marina also lists personal watercraft and jet ski slips for owners of smaller craft, giving the facility a mix of storage formats that covers everything from large cruisers down to jet skis. Boaters can choose covered or uncovered wet slips depending on their preference and budget, and the combination of wet slips, dry stack racks, and trailer parking means the marina can accommodate a wide range of vessel sizes and storage needs in one location.
