PhotoShoots

Capture a special occasion while sailing through the marsh for a spectacular backdrop.

Sail Savannah was born out of the desire to give everyone a glimpse of the Lowcountry that can only be seen from the water. Our unique perspective and years of experience drive us to sail the seas in search of adventure for our guests. Whether it is sailing alongside dolphins, seeing the marsh creatures in their natural habitat, or listening to the water calmly lap against the hull, we have the perfect charter to take you to uncharted territory.

Your trip will be aboard the good ship Kestrel, a 30’ Catalina 30, which has earned its place as one of the most popular yachts in America. She glides through the water effortlessly in the salty air, making a great sail for a first-timer or old salt alike. We invite you to hop aboard, sit back, and relax as we show you the best of Savannah while sharing tales of the waters that surround it.

Our starting rate includes a 2-hour sail for up to 6 guests. Prices may vary depending on the date and time. You can find the exact price for your trip by clicking the book button to view our real-time calendar.

Weekday (Mon-Thurs) $375

Weekend Daysail (Fri-Sun) $375

Weekend Sunset (Fri-Sun) $375+

Extend your trip with additional time starting at $150 per hour.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**: If you are considering a booking but concerned about the weather, we highly recommend that you go ahead and book as it is risk-free. Summertime showers are so isolated on the coast that we only have to cancel fewer than 5% of our trips due to weather. In the rare event that we do have to cancel, you can reschedule or receive a full refund, so there’s nothing to lose! However, in many cases if you wait until the last minute to book, others have already booked the boat or the crew is unavailable. And as always, if you have any questions please reach out to our wonderful team at Sail Savannah!

Nature & Sightseeing Excursions To Tybee & Skidaway

A few private boat tours explore the ecology and history of Tybee Island, with sightseeing tours of the island and fossil-hunting excursions for shark teeth and other prehistoric fragments currently available. See Tybee Island boat tours

Nature-oriented boat tours of the inland marshes near Savannah, around the Skidaway River and its larger creeks, are also available, mostly departing from either Isle of Hope or Thunderbolt. See Skidaway tours

Boat Trips To Georgia’s Barrier Islands

The three major barrier islands south of Tybee – Little Tybee, Wassaw and Ossabaw – are readily accessible as a day trip from the Savannah-Tybee region. As none of the islands have road access, a boat (or kayak, or paddleboard) is the only way to get there.

The pristine nature reserve of Little Tybee Island is the easiest to get to, a short boat ride south of Tybee. Several boat excursions are available, either touring the island and exploring its creeks (when tides allow) to see dolphins and birds, or landing, with time on the island’s secluded beaches to relax or look for shells. See Little Tybee boat tours

Further afield are Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, and Ossabaw Island, the latter privately managed as a nature reserve and cultural site. The large publicly-accessible portion of Wassaw offers beautiful beaches and hiking trails through the island’s forested ridge, and most boat excursions will allow time to venture on land. See boat trips to Wassaw Island

The situation at Ossabaw is slightly more complicated. The beach is accessible to all, with many boat tours touring the island or landing only on these public areas. Access to the interior is controlled by the Ossabaw Island Foundation, and must be arranged either directly with them or via a tour guide, who will arrange access on your behalf. More about visiting Ossabaw Island, and details of available boat tours

Fossil Finding

River Street & Ports

We had the best time on our charter with Captain Bryan! We explored a private little island and found sharks teeth, fossils, and crabs. Bryan has a wealth of knowledge and kept us all engaged. We had an absolute amazing time and will be booking future charters with Low Country Drifters! This will be a memory we will treasure for years to come! Thank you, Captain Bryan, for making this such a special day for us! Taryn N. – Orlando, FL November 2022

Captain Bryan of Low Country Drifters is an exceptionally knowledgeable boat captain, fossil hunter, and tour guide. He took my wife and daughter out today to look for shark teeth, dinosaur bones, pottery shards, and other relics of ages past, and we were fully satisfied. He gave us an ecological and historical tour of the Savannah ICW, brought us to Daufuskie Island in South Carolina for an excellent lunchtime meal, and made sure our photo opportunities were numerous and perfect. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to tour the Savannah area! Chris B. – Statesboro, GA January 2023

Incredible charter experience! My wife and I took our 2-year-old daughter and her grandparents on a half-day trip and had an absolute blast. Captain Bryan, the owner, arranged a fantastic trip touring the area and was extremely knowledgeable about the local history and ecology. We saw tons of wildlife, including dolphins and eagles, and visited The Wyld restaurant for lunch before heading back in. We learned that Captain Bryan is a US Army veteran and it showed in his attention to safety and professionalism.  Amazing experience, totally recommend, especially for families! Gregory L. – Ambler, PA March 2023

Captain Bryan gave us a wonderful family adventure! Loved the shark tooth/fossil hunting experience with our grandson, and exploring the Intracoastal waterways. Enjoyed it all! Nan T. – Savannah, GA November 2022

Captain Bryan was great! He is a fun guy and a very safe operator. We saw several groups of porpoises and had an amazing time touring the salt marsh. I highly recommend! Lance M.  – Statesboro, GA July 2022

Amazing experience for the entire family. Captain Bryan is the epitome of a true professional. He made us all feel so comfortable; it was like being out on the water with a trusted family member. He is so knowledgeable and has so many interesting facts about the area. We had some really good finds on our shark tooth tour, but we enjoyed the rest of the experience just as much. Already looking at the calendar so we can book another trip. Thank you, sir for the trip, and also your devoted service to our country. Spahos Family – Statesboro, GA April 2023

Took a boat ride out with Low Country Drifters – Captain Bryan was outstanding! Enjoyed cruising around Savannah and ended up at Shark Tooth Island 40 shark teeth, some cool dolphin bones and a pepsi cola bottle from the 1940s! Kayli T. – Guyton, GA March 2023

What a great day out on the water and visiting Shark Tooth Island. Highly recommend Captain Bryan and Low Country Drifters for a great experience. Lisa B. – Gastonia, NC March 2023

Went on a tour last week.  Fabulous. Bryan is very knowledgeable. Stopped in Savannah for lunch. Saw lots of islands and inlets. Learned a lot about the history of the area. What a tour! Rose N.  – West Chester, PA February 2023

Captain Bryan was great! He is a very safe operator. We had an amazing time while we were out on his boat. I highly recommend. Christopher L. – Statesboro, GA July 2022

Captain Bryan with Low Country Drifters was Great! He was very knowledgeable of the inter-coastal waters. You want to find shark’s teeth and fossils? He knows the spot. You want to see dolphins? He knows the spot. Want to catch a mess of fish? He knows the spot. His personality is easygoing and highly entertaining. Will be booking with Low Country Drifters again soon. Justin H. – Savannah, GA July 2022

Our charter with Captain Bryan was the best part of our whole trip by far! We had such a fun time finding shark teeth and dinosaur bones and had an amazing lunch on Daufuskie Island! Cannot recommend Low Country Drifters enough!:) Courtney W. – Cedar Rapids, IA April 2023

My husband and two young boys had the absolute best time on the water today with Low Country Drifters! We learned about the history of the Georgia & South Carolina low country, hunted for fossils, explored Daufuskie Island, and saw all the wildlife… crabs, dolphins, and a pair of bald eagles! If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure in Savannah, please consider supporting this veteran-owned small business . Captain Bryan is the very best! Lindsay T.  – Woodstock, GA November 2022

Captain Bryan is, by far, the most experienced in the business. His expertise, contagious attitude, love of the area, and personable attitude are BY FAR above and beyond expectations. I will DEFINITELY book with him again. Jacqueline A. – Richmond Hill, GA June 2022

Great experience! We saw dolphins, a sea otter and even found a shark tooth, had a great lunch on Daufuskie Island… Bryan was prepared as a captain and kept us informed every step of the trip, clean spacious boat, and overall A+ experience. I will definitely be coming back!!! Sean M. – Brooklet, GA February 2023

If you are visiting Savannah, this is a must! Great way to experience Savannah’s waterfront and surrounding marshlands. Captain Bryan was very knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed every part of the trip. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Captain Bryan. You will be happy you booked with Captain Bryan. Barbara F. – Summit, NJ February 2023

Spent the day on the water with Captain Bryan and had an amazing time! He knew all the best spots in the area and made sure everyone in our group had a great experience. Highly recommend! Robert P. – Clarksville, TN June 2022

My wife and I spent the day on the water with Low Country Drifters on Monday. It was both exciting and relaxing at the time. Stopped at Tubby’s for lunch. Highly recommend. Frank N.  – West Chester, PA February 2023

Low Country Drifters is the best on the ICW! Captain Bryan is an excellent captain and your guide. My boys loved “Shark tooth island”. We found multiple fossils and shark teeth, and my boys carried them around for weeks. Captain Bryan knew the best fishing and crabbing spots. He was flexible with our wants and kept us entertained the entire time. We can’t wait to go out for another excursion! Alex C. – Statesboro, GA July 2022
