Hurricane Fiona destroyed a lot of infrastructure along our coastline in September 2022, including docking facilities at particular abandoned communities that is included in our Resettlements Grand Tour. Tours to these communities will continue, however we will not permit guests to go ashore in the absence of adequate docking facilities to ensure everyone’s safety.
Our custom 28-foot Silver Dolphin aluminum boat was built with your fishing and touring comfort in mind. It has an open deck with a small stand-up cabin and is powered with two 150 horsepower outboard engines. Miss Georgia regularly hosts guests on our Resettlements Grand Tour.
In these parts, an open boat that is powered by an outboard engine is known as a speedboat. Fish and tour like a local in our 22-foot open boat, powered by a 90-horsepower engine.
