Learn more about Low Country Drifters by reading our Frequently Asked Questions below. If you still have a question, please contact us! We’d love to hear from you.

What should I bring?

Please know space is limited, and what to bring is always dependent on what type of tour you’ll be going on and during what time of year.

A cooler with complimentary cold water is available on every trip. We also have two additional coolers for you to stow any personal items, beverages, and snacks. Be sure to bring your wallet, a towel, and some sunscreen!

Captain Bryan will go over other possible items you may want to bring once you book your tour. Dry storage is limited so please pack only the necessities.

Your comfort and safety are our #1 priority. Because we’re located in the south on the coast, a rain shower is possible, especially in the summer!  That being said, showers pop up and can go away quickly so they hardly ever ruin a charter.  However, if bad weather is imminent, we can reschedule or cancel altogether.

Our tours are available for six people, not including the captain or possible mate. If you’d like to bring more than six, please contact us and we will discuss options. 

It depends on what you want to do! Generally, our charters last approximately 4-5 hours.

Gratuity is not included in the charter price. If you’ve enjoyed your experience, tips for our hardworking crew are greatly appreciated! Gratuity aboard a charter boat works similarly to other service-providing industry gratuities and ranges from between 15-25%.

Yes. Alcoholic beverages are welcome for those ages 21 and over but please avoid bringing glass for safety reasons. Cans and/or boxed wine can be compacted in the trash can and take up less room on board. 

We don’t specifically offer ‘Dolphin Tours’ but spotting and watching dolphins is part of every trip – along with seeing all sorts of other wildlife!

Life Jackets are available for everyone on board in case of an emergency.
Children under age 13 must wear an appropriately sized PFD when the vessel is under way. Low Country Drifters has various children’s life jackets available, but if you have your own, please bring it along. If not, please list your child(ren)’s weight in the comments section while checking out.

Yes! We are dog friendly and welcome your four-legged friend(s) on board! However, depending on where you’d like to go, your pup may or may not be allowed. Please bring your own doggie life jacket (though not required).

We are located in Historic Thunderbolt, Georgia, just minutes outside of Savannah. The address and parking directions will be provided once your charter is booked.

No, there is not a bathroom on board, but we can make stops to accommodate!

Absolutely! There is still plenty to explore during the winter in the Intracoastal Waterway. 

Yes! Captain Bryan Neal is a Coast Guard certified Merchant Marine Boat Captain and retired Army Veteran. He has over 20 years of experience in and around the waters of Savannah, Georgia, and is also CPR/First Aid certified.

It’s not likely you’ll get motion sickness while on a tour with us. The Intracoastal Waterway is far different than the ocean. However, if you are concerned about it, Captain Bryan has some over-the-counter recommendations you may try.

100%, yes! We, too, are a family with children. We love having them onboard and sharing our love of the water, wildlife, and history with them!

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!

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!!!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!
