The Tall Tides team is always available via email to answer your questions through our Contact page, and answers to common Savannah, GA fishing charter questions can be found here:

  • All trips include tackle, fuel costs, launch fees, and a cooler with water and ice. We also cover all necessary Georgia and South Carolina state fishing licenses while aboard our vessels.

  • Tall Tides Charters operates as a catch-and-release only guide service to help protect the future of our fishery.

  • The meeting location will be decided in advance, with several convenient options available.

  • The start time will be coordinated directly with the Captain before your trip. Tide stages and wind conditions greatly influence the type of fishing we’ll do, so being flexible and willing to fish during the optimal times will give us the best chance for success.

  • We target redfish year-round, but we also have a variety of other resident species including speckled trout, flounder, black drum, and sheepshead. During the Spring, Summer and Fall months we see migratory fish passing through, such as triple tail, cobia, jacks, albies, and even tarpon.

  • Our trips are family-friendly! We love introducing children to the water and igniting a passion for fishing. Please let us know your child's age, interests, and skill level so we can tailor the trip to their needs. Keep in mind, due to the shallow nature of the Lowcountry, our boats can only accommodate 2 passengers at a time, but multiple boats are available for larger groups.

  • You’ll be fishing aboard a 18’ technical poling skiff. There's a small cooler for food and beverages, along with some storage space for your personal items, but it’s a compact boat, so pack lightly. Things to consider:

    • Polarized sunglasses (amber, copper, and green lenses preferred)

    • Hat and any needed sun protection

    • Quick drying conditions appropriate clothing

    • Rain gear, jackets and pants

    • Shoes with non-marking soles

  • It's best to reach out to us as soon as you start considering potential dates for your trip. Planning ahead will help ensure you secure the best tide windows for your experience.

  • When choosing a place to stay, the downtown district is typically the most central location in Savannah. With easy access to great food and entertainment, it’s hard to beat. We also have strong partnerships with local businesses, so if you'd prefer to stay somewhere other than a hotel, just let us know!
