About Your Trip

Get ready to discover the wild, untamed beauty of Georgia’s coast with Captain Chris on a relaxed, scenic cruise through the marshes, tidal creeks, and waterways of the Golden Isles. Whether you're chasing sunsets over the salt marsh or watching dolphins surf the boat’s wake, these 90-minute eco and sunset tours are your front-row ticket to the vibrant, living landscape of coastal Georgia—no island-hopping required.

These short and sweet adventures are perfect for guests who want to unwind, take in the views, and get a taste of what makes this stretch of coastline so special. Eco tours focus on the incredible diversity of the local ecosystem—you'll glide past waving spartina grass, drift through winding tidal creeks, and spot everything from playful dolphins and sea turtles to herons, ospreys, and maybe even a bald eagle. Captain Chris knows these waters inside and out and is always happy to point out wildlife, share local lore, and tailor the ride to your interests.

Sunset cruises bring a whole different kind of magic. As the sun dips low over the Intracoastal, the sky ignites in brilliant shades of orange, pink, and gold. The water turns glassy, the marshes glow, and everything slows down. It’s the perfect way to cap off your day—calm, quiet, and absolutely breathtaking.

These trips stay close to home, so you’ll spend more time enjoying the moment and less time cruising to far-off spots. They’re ideal for couples, families, solo travelers, and groups of friends looking for a low-stress outing with big scenery.

About Your Guide

Chris R.

Independent Guide

As a native of Jekyll Island, Georgia, I’ve spent my entire life boating and exploring the beautiful coast that I call home. My 25-year career in land management with both the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service has given me extensive knowledge and experience that I incorporate into every excursion. As an avid outdoorsman and father, I’m passionate about creating extraordinary experiences for families and people from all walks of life. Let me show you the stunning beauty of the Georgia coast like you’ve never seen it before! At an early age (And I mean EARLY, 7) I found my love for fishing. I have been fishing the coastal waters and lakes of the Golden Isles since! I have been featured in outdoor magazines such as Georgia Outdoor News and local fishing reports. As a young adult I began fishing and diving offshore in Georgia and Florida. These experiences helped me understand fish activity and migrations. Many of our inshore species migrate between inshore, nearshore, and offshore. Because of my years as a Game Warden for Georgia Department of Natural Resources, I have extensive knowledge of what is biting along with the when and where. You can expect to have a wonderful coastal experience by booking with me.

Captain Chris and his guide Clint were exceptional. The experience was top notch. Every detail of each of our desires was taken to heart and they delivered to create a memorable hunt. With that being said, he even asked if there was anything that would help to improve the time we were there. WELL DONE! Chris
