10 Boat Tours & Water Sports in Savannah That You Shouldn't Miss

July 14, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Charming Savannah is the picture of antebellum hospitality, thanks to period architecture and oak-lined streets. It’s tempting to spend your trip just relaxing on vast verandas and sipping mint juleps, but there are plenty of historical sites and museums to explore. Haunting (and possibly haunted) Bonaventure Cemetery is one of the hallmarks of the city, featuring beautiful obelisks, masses of flowers, and ivy-covered crypts. Dine on fresh seafood and creamy grits for a taste of Savannah home cooking.

Explore Barrier Islands

Custom boat charters for fly fishing and exploring! Over the last twenty years, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time exploring and getting to know the marshes, creeks, rivers, hammocks and islands that surround coastal Savannah, Georgia. Much of that time was spent in search of tailing Redfish who might eat a properly presented fly - but the birds, alligators, deer and other wildlife are always a welcome addition to any trip in the boat. We custom create your day on the coastal waters surrounding Savannah, Georgia. You can decide what your primary interest will be for the day. Whether it is sightseeing, photography, hiking a barrier island, fishing or just lounging on the beach, it's your day to choose. We depart from historic Isle of Hope, which provides you an extraordinary view of the homes that line Bluff Drive along the Intercoastal Waterway. Isle of Hope is a convenient location to all parts of Savannah and the marina has adequate parking. We run a 22-foot Panga Super Skiff which comfortably fits up to four passengers. Please contact us for further details and rates. We are looking forward to showing you our local waters!
