Memories Made on Island Time

“When I read Island Time Charter's web page, it said to 'leave your troubles at the dock' and that is exactly what you can do. I have had three different charter trips with Captain Megan and look forward to the next one already!”

“Megan was absolutely wonderful. She passed along her vast knowledge of the Lowcountry and history of the area as she navigated us through rivers, marshes, and waterfront properties.”

TripAdvisor Reviewer
Knoxville, TN

“Two years in a row she has been simply the best! She took our family for an evening cruise to Savannah, dinner, and sunset. We saw several dolphins and even a 15 ft alligator. She is simply the best!”
