My boyfriend, parents, and I came to Tybee Island for our college graduation celebration. We…read moredecided to do a fishing trip as part of our present from my parents. We searched through one of the Tybee Island visitor books to choose our charter company. We first called another company, but when they finally returned our call, they were too booked already. The nice gentleman did highly recommend Tybee Island Charters to us. We called Tybee Island Charters, who immediately answered the phone. We spoke with Captain Elizabeth who was very friendly, professional, and informative. She explained the tour options for what we were looking for, the prices and what was included (and not included), what kind of boat we would be on, thorough directions to the boat dock, and extra tips (such as bringing food or drinks, that the number of anglers was optional, etc.). They were very genuine and up front with any and all information about the services they offered. We chose to do a 4 hour inshore fishing trip (2 anglers) with Tybee Island Charters for $300, which I thought was very reasonable, though I am no fishing expert and have never paid for a fishing tour before. Their prices were comparable to the other inshore fishing tours on the island. Captain Elizabeth was very knowledgeable about the waters, wildlife, and fishing. She was able to name and give facts/stories/history about every single bird, fish, crab, oyster, dolphin, etc. we saw while on the trip. It was like we received their eco-tour as an added bonus. The wildlife and scenery did not disappoint us either! She also knew a lot about the Tybee Island area, people, and history, even leading us to our favorite restaurant from the trip, Sundae Cafe. Learning about the Island from a local was extremely helpful to us first time tourists! During the trip, Captain Elizabeth was very welcoming and made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Everything was prepared before we arrived, so we literally pulled up to the dock, loaded our cooler, and headed out to sea! She gave us professional tips on where/how to cast and what types of equipment and bait we were using (even giving us options on what to use). She baited our hooks and unhooked/measured the fish for us, as is customary on a guided fishing tour, but it was nice to only have to do the relaxing and exciting part of fishing! She took us to three or four fishing locations that she said she has been successful at before, and the fish did not disappoint! We had a bite on almost every cast, including the first of the day. Though many were not big enough to keep, we enjoyed reelin' em in all day. We ended up coming home with 7 whiting, which Elizabeth cleaned for us back at the dock. When keeping the fish, she measured them properly and only kept those that were the legal length. Again, she was very professional and seemed knowledgeable about Georgia fishing laws and followed them... even mentioning that the local marine science center had asked her to collect smaller fish for them, but she told them she wouldn't do so until she had the proper permit from the Georgia DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources). My parents noted that while they waited for us to return to shore, Captain Cecil had entertained them at the boat dock (which was at their own personal home). He even closed the gate so that our dogs could run freely in their backyard with his dog. They chatted and told stories (about their 40 year history in fishing Tybee waters) for quite a while. They said it was like just hanging out at an old friend's house. This is a long review, but I can't think of enough good things to say about Tybee Island Charters! It was the highlight of our trip and I would call them to book another tour the instant I come back to Tybee Island. If you're looking for a genuine, local, Mom & Pop, honest operation, that gives you more than your money's worth and a fabulous, laid back experience, then give Cecil & Elizabeth at Tybee Island Charters a call.

I'm only giving them one star because we caught fish. Other than that, I'd give them negative…read morestars. I chartered one of their boats for a 10 hour deep sea fishing trip, 40 miles offshore. We did catch fish, that's the only thing I can say that's positive about Tybee Island Charters. I caught an under sized fish. The Captain (Captain Elizabeth) took the fish off my hook and put the small fish on another rod and used it as bait, instead of throwing it back. She bragged about how she usually keeps undersized fish as well as fish that you aren't allowed to keep, such as Red Snapper. (Red Snapper are illegal to keep in ALL waters off of Georgia) She was even proud of the fact she had kept a small flounder once and was caught by Georgia Fish and Game Officers, but only received a ticket for breaking the law. While we were fishing I had to keep asking the captain and her mate how many fish we had caught, as I didn't want to go over the limit. They disregarded my question and said to keep fishing. I finally demanded someone count the fish, so we wouldn't go over the limit. They counted and said we had 17, and we could keep 3 more. After 3 more were caught we stopped keeping the fish. As the Captain was pulling the anchor up, she noticed something wrong with the engine. There was a leak in the engine, that was causing the engine to over heat. Once again I want to say we were 40 MILES offshore. The Captain later told me she knew there was a leak BEFORE we left, but she didn't think it would be an issue. 40 miles offshore with a leaky engine. I'm not a mechanic but even I know that's a recipe for disaster. We were stuck 40 miles offshore, waiting for a boat to tow us back in. While we were waiting for the tow boat, the Captain decided to fillet all of the fish we caught. Yet another violation she committed on this charter. As they were filleting the fish they realized 23 fish had been kept. Another violation... The 10 hour fishing charter turned into a 19 hour trip from hell. I would not recommend Tybee Island Charters to ANYONE!!!!! I requested a partial refund for the troubles she put me and my cousin through. At first Captain Elizabeth said she would mail me a refund. A few weeks after the trip I contacted her and she said she changed her mind and was not going to refund any money.

The park's name pays homage to the Irish orator and nationalist Robert Emmet. It was established in 1902 and has since become a beloved landmark for locals and tourists alike. Breathtaking sculptures are the first things I have noticed when entering the park. I was drawn to check on the famous "A City Remembers" monument, which is one of the focal points of Emmet Park. The striking monument is dedicated to the city's fallen firefighters, and many other sculptures can be found throughout to provide a bit of history as well as a visual experience that adds to the beauty of the park. These are the Chatham Artillery Monument, the Celtic Cross Monument, and the Vietnam War Monument. At the heart of the historic city of Savannah, it is easily accessible. It is located between Abercorn and Lincoln Streets on East Bay Street.
