Tybee Island Charters has shared the coast of Georgia with visitors since 1985, offering fishing, eco tours, fossil hunts, and more across more than 40 years of exploring the area’s tidal waters and deep seas. When the tide wasn’t right for fishing, the crew turned to exploring the coast’s magnificent barrier islands, discovering rich prehistoric fossil beds, nesting eagles, and curious bottlenose dolphins along the way.

Inshore fishing searches for red drum, flounder, and speckled sea trout, while deep sea adventures lead to dolphin fish, snapper, and grouper — guests pick the season and the crew tells them what’s biting. Years of cruising these waterways have given the team an intimate knowledge of the area’s tidal wetlands and barrier islands, letting Eco-Tours be customized for naturalists, photographers, or anyone simply wanting to see and learn about the coast. Picnics on Little Tybee are genuinely nature-tours with a gourmet twist.

Following a lifelong dream, the business recently added the Izabella, a 50-foot Albin Flybridge Trawler, offering a four-course dinner extravaganza while anchored in protective waters, delighting guests of all ages for up to six people. Multi-day Intracoastal Waterway tours showcasing Coastal Georgia are also offered, accommodating up to four passengers, for exploring barrier islands and enjoying sunrises and sunsets on the water in genuine style.

Beyond charters, the business also rents Kokomo Cottage, a private 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage at the end of 10th Street on Horsepen Creek, for guests wanting to extend their Tybee vacation.

For anglers and adventure-seekers on Tybee Island, Georgia looking for a genuinely historic, more than 40-year established fishing, eco tour, or dinner cruise operation, Tybee Island Charters offers a well-rounded destination with cottage rental available.
