Every tour is customized for your enjoyment.

Getting out in a comfortable boat and seeing this grand area is easy from either downtown Savannah or our closest barrier island, Tybee. Maybe you would like to...

- Go beaching or island hopping on one of a few barrier islands. Walk along the shore and shell while you watch blue or stone crab play off the beach. See if that little hermit crab is really going to take that next larger shell for his home. Feel for sand dollars just below the surface of the sand. Or maybe inspect the strange looking horseshoe crabs sometimes found on the beach the day after a full moon. You just never know what you may find on the beach after every high tide (twice per day!).

- How about exploring a vast wild beach and then meandering a trail taking you to the interior of an uninhabited island? The north end of Wassaw Island Wildlife Refuge is a natural spot to go into a wonderfully deserted maritime forest. It has a mulched trail that you can hike - takes about an hour to get to the south end of the island. Or, you can take the quick turn-off and cut back to the ocean side beach while going past a fresh water pond filled with animal life and various native birds (sometimes an alligator or two!).

- Maybe seeing wild boar or deer while we go down Moon River and out into the Ossabaw Sound is more your thing? With special advanced arrangements and an educational interest, it may be possible to walk a bit of Ossabaw Island and see the old tabby slave quarters. (Tabby is a concrete-like substance with the aggregate being oyster shells in lieu of today's stones.)

- Or, how about checking out just what the dredge left, in our famous port river, the Savannah River? This river is maintained to a controlled depth of 42 feet in order to accomodate the big ocean-going ships that come and go from Savannah. As the bottom of the river is dug out, older (and sometimes prehistoric) artifacts come to the riverbed surface and are deposited on the adjoining islands by the dredge pump. The depositions actually build up these islands and eventual cave-ins of the side of the island's bank, cause the cycle to repeat itself. What is left on the riverbanks, after cave-ins, is the earth, sand, silt and various material mixed throughout the ages originally from the bottom of the river bed. Old bottles and sharks teeth can be found if you have the eye.

- Maybe just going for a relaxing cruise through the beauty of it all!

No matter what you'd like to do, we will do our best to accomodate. Dependent on length of tour, these custom charters may include one or any combination of the above. You will always learn a bit more along your Coastal Journey. Please note; all trips must be planned in accordance with the weather and the tides; however don't be shy about asking and suggesting any ideas of your own!
