We had the pleasure of booking a trip with Whiplash Charters and had an incredible fishing trip! Caught flounder, trout, and bass, and the Captain even cleaned the fish for us. Michael’s expertise in navigating the local waters and knowing the best spots to find fish was invaluable.The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary gear.If you're looking for a memorable and FUN fishing experience in Savannah, I highly recommend Whiplash Charters. The best of the best!! They provide excellent service, knowledgeable guides, and such a fun experience to catch plenty of fish! We had the best time!!

Owned and operated by CPT Mike, Whiplash Charters provides a wonderful day trip for Tybee guests. Novice or experienced fishermen will enjoy their day out on the backwaters around Tybee and Savannah. From his knowledge of the local waters to his pristine boat, CPT Mike provides a great experience for all. At the end of the trip, all fish are cleaned and prepped by CPT Mike himself. This is an absolute must!

Mike was a GREAT fishing captain.He took his time, giving us fishing techniques, baiting our hooks, and telling us where to cast the line. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking with him whenever you're in the Savannah area. Also very communicative. Thanks again Captain Mike! Will be back soon! 😀 Camille & Bob

This is the guy you want to take you out on Savannah's waters. Mike's passion for his craft and his hometown waterways is beyond question. Fishing; bonding the young and old since time began. Capt. Mike helped in a big, big way installing the love of this sport in my kiddo, vs that online gaming thing. We could not be more grateful for his expertise and great spirit. The numerous trips we have had with him only make us want to go out again and again. Oh and the FISH! Yeah, that...please see picts. Cheers

By far one of the best times we have had out fishing. Mike was awesome and knew exactly where to put us on the fish. We planned this trip very last minute right before a holiday and Mike was able to make the trip happen! Needless to say this was the spotlight of our trip to Savannah and we hope to do it again in the future.

Captain Mike gave us a fantastic time and a great memory. He put us on the fish, and was incredibly kind / patient with the 2 young boys we brought on the trip. This will be our first call when coming back to fish again. Can’t wait!

Mike was awesome. He put us on so many fish even Bill Dance would have been jealous. If your coming into Savannah use this company. He was even flexible and accommodated the wife and my time and schedule to get us out on the water. Very responsive through Instagram and booking through the website was a breeze! Go get after em

Thanks again Mike for all the hard work you put in on such a hot day. Captain Mike put us on fish, and we had a good time with Dave clearing out all of the sharks so Andrew and I could catch trout reds, and flounder. Mike is an excellent captain and we will certainly be using his services again.
