History
Established in 2022.
During the pandemic, and like many people, our family faced challenges like no other with jobs, health scares and the passing of family. Our priorities shifted with a better focus on quality time with family and flexibility to so, not tied to 70 hour weeks in the office. Sandhill Charters was born with Capt. Matt, son-in-law of the owners, at the helm. With an understanding that memories and time with family are as important as they are everlasting, our mission became simple; provide 5-Star customizable experiences while maintaining a big focus on safety. Not only do we provide a service guests want such as cruising, sightseeing and sandbar tours, but a service they need in the scattering of ashes in the Atlantic Ocean. With business education, seminary schooling and a passion to serve others, Sandhill Charters isn't just another boat company. We are passionate about what we do, blessed we get to live where others vacation and love bringing guests aboard to Explore All There Is!
