Book your next trip with Whiplash Charters and find out what fishing in Savannah is all about. With Captain Michael at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, and whatever else takes the bait.
For these species, you’re likely to bottom fish using light tackle. After the trip, Captain Michael will clean your catch.

Whiplash Charters welcomes kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Michael runs a 22’ Pathfinder center console with space for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Whiplash Charters.
