About Tybee Dolphin Adventure
Tybee Dolphin Adventure, operated by Captain Derek, runs dolphin-watching boat tours from Lazaretto Creek on Tybee Island. The company offers both daytime and sunset cruises through the tidal creeks and open waters around Tybee, where Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are spotted on nearly every trip. Their guarantee — if you don't see dolphins, you ride again free — speaks to the consistency of their sightings.
Daytime tours cruise through the protected waterways behind Tybee and Little Tybee Islands, while sunset tours add golden-hour views of the marsh and coastline. Trips last approximately ninety minutes and are narrated by the captain, who shares insights about local marine life, coastal ecology, and island history. The boats are comfortable and sized for small groups, keeping the experience intimate rather than crowded.
Captain Derek has spent years running charters on these waters and knows exactly where dolphins feed, play, and raise their calves throughout the seasons. Tybee Dolphin Adventure is consistently rated among the top outdoor activities in the Savannah area, drawing families, couples, and wildlife enthusiasts who want a genuine coastal Georgia experience on the water.
