Trip was great. Went to Daufuskie Island and one of the great parts of the trip is the boat ride there. We got to stop and see dolphins which was great! Captain was amazing with helping us with our luggage. Great experience over all. 5 stars!

We booked a private shark tooth hunting excursion. We had an amazing time! Willy took us out on the boat and showed us around and we saw dolphins🐬we were then taken to few different beaches and Willy helped us find teeth, fossilized bone fragments and even baby flounder! Thank you so much for a wonderful and fun time. Highly recommend!

Our 2ed shark tooth trip and it was so fun! Between my friend & myself we found 80 teeth!! On the boat ride over to the island the dolphins were out in abundance! Captain Willie was kind enough to stop so we could all take pics of them!We left our home at 6am & drove 2 hours for our 830 a.m. trip. We got caught up in traffic/ construction & texted the company to explain why were running late. They were so kind and understood and patiently waited for us! Even picked us up in the parking lot on the golf cart!The next day I had a dr appointment. The PA wanted the link to Bull River Marina so she could take her family! I could go on and on about the staff and trip itself but you just need to go and experience it yourself, you will not be disappointed! Butttt, do take rubber boots and wear cloths you don't mind getting muddy. A couple of people wore flip flop type sandles & both slipped in the mud.(We are planning our next trip in a few weeks & my daughter in San Antonio wants to go when she gets back home too)

Even though it was a rainy day, it was so much fun! We found a nice collection of shark teeth and some fossilized bones. We did this on our family vacation and both of my teenage boys had a blast. I highly recommend doing this adventure! We even got to see some dolphins on the boat ride back.

Willy, our guide, was fantastic!We weren’t of much help telling him where we wanted to go or what we wanted to do, so we were treated to a little of everything: a bar, beach time, and dolphins. Highly recommend this boat tour.Oh, and he also curated a beautiful, unexpected photo op of the bride we were celebrating so the memories will last.

Great trip! My husband, myself and two kids booked the trip at the last minute since the weather wasn’t predicted to be the best. Everything worked out great though. Captain Willy was great with our kids and answered all of our sons millions of questions. Things went so well during our 4 hour fishing trip that we booked the fossil hunt that afternoon. It was great also. Jackson was an excellent guide and our kids loved it. Both kids were wore out and fast asleep before we made it back to the hotel. Great, great trip.

We went on a private shark tooth tour in early March and had a fantastic time. Willy was a great guide. If you’re considering the private tour it is definitely worth it! We even saw a few dolphins on our way.

Willy was the absolute best tour guide of the area! We had the best time and we had to change to our time and they were super accommodating to make it work. The weather was perfect and he picked all the best spots for us to visit.

My husband and I had a great time searching for fossils. We were immediately greeted with a smile and positive vibes from the misses at the counter. Check-in was also easy with the QR code that was sent to us. Willie and Forest were great guides and made us feel comfortable on the ride. (Dolphins even made an appearance.. soo cool) Forest stayed with us on the island and shared his knowledge and passion for the ecosystem and history around us. The 3 hours was just enough to find cool shark teeth. Overall, great people, great excursion, and great price!

They are well oiled machine. Sydney took beautiful photos. Then captain willie took us to South Carolina and we drank moonshine. It was the time of my life. My best friend is getting married. I can’t wait. 10/10 recommend. I had the time of my life.

Best bachelorette adventure! We had a great time, the tour guide Willy played us some great music! Highly recommend this if you’re visiting Savannah!

A very relaxing Solar Eclipse tour! We took a two hour tour checking out the eclipse with the captain, a first mate and another couple. We took our own snacks/drinks but you can also pick up goodies at the marina’s shop. The conversation was breezy and genial. The captain was really good at maneuvering the boat so viewing was optimal for us. Highly recommend!

We had a great time in the shark tooth hunting. Willie gave us tips on finding shark teeth, and we had good luck. Highly recommended!

Great fossil finding and shark tooth finding tour! Our captain Willy was great, took us to several beaches and showed us where to find stuff. I would do this again!

We had an excellent time on a 2-hour cruise with Bull River Marina for my sister's bachelorette! They were super welcoming to our group and accommodating of we wanted to do: they had coolers for our drinks, a speaker for music, and gave us several options (swimming vs. cruising to a beachside bar). They were super friendly and communicative leading up to the event, too. If you have a group looking to do a fun, private boat cruise in Savannah, I'd recommend Bull River Marina!

Captain Willy and his crew were great. They really take care of everything from start to finish and help get the party started. It was a rougher day on the water so they offered us a bigger boat bc it would handle better. No up charge, just looking out for us. Super nice people, definitely suggest booking with them!

Captain Willy and his team were so helpful in getting us to Daufuskie Island for our dream wedding. Bringing over 27 people and all their luggage was a test of their abilities and they passed with flying colors. My disabled mom raved about how well she was treated by the staff and allowed me to focus on my important day. Thanks so much to Captain Willy and his amazing crew!

Captain Buddy and his son were the people who took us on our sunset cruise. It was so much fun! They also upgraded our boat due to safety concerns from weather just in case it rained which was really nice and made us all feel even more comfortable. They stopped and would steer the boat toward dolphins any time we mentioned that we saw them annd took us to a neighboring island in South Carolina that’s only accessible by boat and got to try some great food and great drink! Extremely friendly and kind people who work at Bull River Marina. We are not local to the area and were here on a bachelorette trip and not only was the sunset cruise experience lovely but they were also incredibly helpful before hand when we were researching sunset cruises in the area. I will definitely recommend to anyone I know looking to have a sunset cruise experience

Willy took us out on a bachelorette trip and was better than amazing. He catered to us and what we wanted - and took EXCELLENT care of us - no expectations, just fun and go-with-the-flow. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a fishing trip with Captain Willy yesterday, and it was amazing. We're essentially novices and hadn't caught a single fish in several initial outings, but Willy took us to some good spots, where we finally pulled in four or five sheepshead. His coaching on technique was invaluable. They're not easy fish to catch and this is a low period for every type of fish, so we were very happy (and excited). He also helped us harvest a couple of bushels of oysters on the way back, so the evening was a feast for us and a couple of friends. It was a great experience all around. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful experience on our trip to hunt for shark teeth. Grayson was a perfect captain and we even got some dolphin watching in! Can't recommend the experience enough.

We had the best time. Everyone was accommodating. We listed to our music too loud, we were too loud and nobody seemed to mind. We saw dolphins, the sunset and a super moon!! They had coolers ready for us and took GREAT care of us!! We’ll be back!!

Absolutely fantastic trip! Captain Willie went out of his way to make sure we had a great time and more importantly- that our 7 year old was successful in his hunt! Will be sure to be book with them every time we come to Savannah!

Took the excursion to Shark Tooth Island. Arrived at the marina, got on the boat, & was leaving within minutes. Our captain was great, got us to the island, dropped us off, & let us explore for a few hours. They supplied us with the tools needed, a bucket with a small rake, small shovel, & couple of sifters. We found a few teeth & had a great time. Come prepared. Wear water shoes or sandals, some areas are rocky, your feet will get wet, & bring something to put your findings in.

Captain Willy was wonderful as our boat captain for our 6hr private charter. This was our first trip to Georgia and we weren’t sure where we wanted to go so he asked us a bunch of questions to narrow down some destinations and took us to the best locations for fishing, swimming, beach bar/playground, dolphin viewing, alligator viewing etc. Not only did we have the best trip but he and his staff are extremely helpful. They gathered our belongings from our car in the parking lot and loaded them onto the boat into coolers and when the trip was finished they unloaded our belongings back at our car for us. Also, Captain Willy helped us catch great photo ops during our trip and the icing on the cake was having a paddle board and pop up float for us/kids to play on in the water too! We highly recommend Captain Willy and his team!!!!
