“This recognition means the world to us,” said Stephanie Neal of Low Country Drifters. “We love this coastline, its history, its wildlife, its people, and sharing that with guests is what drives us every single day. It is a great privilege. Our captains work incredibly hard to give guests more than a boat ride; they bring the Low Country to life. Being named Best of Georgia tells us that passion is felt, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who voted for us.”

Guest Praise That Helped Secure the Win
