Matt was a terrific guide for our trip out into the marshes and creeks and islands! We saw lots of birds and we really enjoyed the relaxing trip through the creeks. We stopped and got to pick up shark teeth, which was really neat. We could not have asked for a better guide to take us out for the afternoon. I highly recommend this company – was fantastic!Low Country Drifters transported my friends and I to Daufuskie Island and back for my birthday weekend – they were amazing! Communication was excellent. Captain Matt and Captain Bryan were great and so helpful with getting all of our belongings to and from the cottage. We also got to see a good bit of wildlife on our trips!

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!

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!

We had an amazing time with Captain Bryan.
He was so welcoming and beyond knowledgeable about almost everything.He told us fascinating stories of Savannah history, information on the river and the sharks teeth, and about his own life.
The trip was so fun, the boat is very nice and fit all of our team comfortably. Whenever we needed anything, Captain Bryan was there to assist. Best trip!

Capt. Bryan is the best of the best! Professional and knowledgeable! We have taken several trips with other companies and Capt. Bryan’s attention to detail exceeds over all others. He knows the lay of the land and picks the location that best suits your group. We will only be going fossil hunting with him!

I recently went on an incredible boat tour in Savannah, and it exceeded all my expectations!
We had the chance to see manatees, dolphins, and even ventured to Shark Island. To top it all off, we spotted some alligators along the way.
The entire experience was thrilling and memorable.Bryan, our guide, was the best – knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a fantastic time.

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.

Captain Bryan is, by far, the most experienced in the business.

This veteran-owned business provided the most memorable time we had during our vacation in Savannah!
We had an incredible day with Bryan! All of his insights and historical info enhanced the experience.
The day was full of excitement: found all kinds of fossils and shark teeth including pieces of Megaladon, followed a group of feeding dolphins, enjoyed delicious food, the wildlife, and a distillery on Daufuski Island. Bryan never rushed us to the next place; he allowed us to be fully in the moment.
With his reasonable prices, we definitely got more than we paid for!

We had a fantastic experience on our half-day boat trip with Captain Matt. He brought us shark tooth hunting and then to Daufuskie Island where we got a great tour of the island on his golf cart and to a beautiful non busy beach. Matt was the perfect match for what we wanted in this experience. I highly recommend Low Country Drifters for anyone looking to experience a boat charter without going out in the main waters of the ocean.

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

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.

Couldn’t wait for a second trip- now looking forward to a third one!
This was our second trip with Low Country Drifters, and we have a third one planned!
This time, we went to Shark Tooth Island, where we found not only shark teeth but dolphin teeth and dinosaur bones!
There is nothing Captain Bryan doesn’t know about this island or its history!
He also is a wealth of information on the waterways and Daufuskie Island, where we also had a great tour…and a visit to the rookery where the birds were abundant!Highly, highly recommended for adults, families, you name it. You won’t be disappointed!

We went on a private boat tour with Low Country Drifters, and it was an unforgettable experience!
Captain Bryan was so knowledgeable and friendly, sharing interesting facts about the history and ecology of the area.
We cruised past beautiful scenery, spotted dolphins playing in the water, found several shark teeth on the beach, and enjoyed a delicious lunch of burgers and patty melts from The Burger Boat.Since he does private tours, it was just the 3 of us, and we weren’t crammed into a boat with lots of people.
It also allowed Capt Bryan to provide a completely personalized tour.
Our experience was everything we wanted and more! It was a perfect way to spend our first day in Savannah!Avie C. – Conroe, TX

What a gorgeous and fun day we had with Low Country Drifters!
Captain Bryan’s knowledge of the history of the area made the already beautiful scenery even more interesting. We rode their golf cart around Daufuskie, had a delicious lunch at The Distillery, then went back out on the boat to Shark Tooth Island to hunt for treasures.
We saw so much wildlife – eagles, egrets, cranes, alligators, and dolphins, to name a few. Would highly recommend to anyone!

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!

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.

Who knew I was going to book a custom private boat experience and feel like I walked away with a new friend? Captain Bryan took charge and planned an amazing day, even picking up supplies I needed since my group was from out of town.
We saw local treasures off the beaten path, met some great locals at a few stops, and sang country music as we headed back in with cloudy skies… it was absolute perfection, and no one was going to rain on our parade that day. My only regret is that we didn’t have enough time with him.
Not only is he exceptionally skilled, he’s an interesting gentleman. If you’re looking for a unique and personalized day trip, you can end your search here. We will all miss you, Captain, and be assured we will be back!
