Sunset Reflection over the Low Country marsh
The Drifter Lifestyle
The “Drifter” lifestyle is all about freedom, exploration, and a laid-back connection with nature—values that align well with what Low Country Drifters boat tours offer.
Just like a drifter moves with the tides and takes in the world at their own pace without a fixed route, our tours let you experience the Low Country’s waterways in a relaxed, immersive way. Whether you’re cruising through marshlands, spotting wildlife, or shark tooth hunting on the river, the experience reflects a free-spirited, go-with-the-flow attitude that defines the drifter way of life.
The Drifter Lifestyle evokes a sense of adventure, freedom, and off-the-beaten-path exploration.
Adequately named, Low Country Drifters offers a relaxed and immersive journey through barrier islands, coastal marshes, hidden islands, and winding waterways—perfect for ecotourism and cultural discovery.
Our Mission
To share the views, beauty, mystery, and stories of the Low Country—by boat, by memory, and by heart.
Whether it’s a sunset cruise through Savannah’s back rivers, a history-infused journey past Civil War sites, a walk through a maritime forest, or a drift to Daufuskie, every trip is about slowing down and soaking in the real magic of the Low Country.
Why “Drifters”?
Because we’re not in a rush. While it’s usually important to get to where we’re going, we believe there’s something sacred in letting the tides guide you. In drifting—not just physically, but mentally—away from screens and schedules… into a place where wildlife plays and the water whispers old stories while our guests create core memories and experiences.
