They drop anchor on a shallow sandbar and the boat becomes a floating shoreline: laughter, a 12-foot Sunchill lounge, and 1.5 hours to actually be in the water rather than watching it pass by.

Conservation
Tybee’s sandbars and marshes are ecologically sensitive; bring non-plastic trash bags, avoid trampling dunes, and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce chemical impact.

Arrive Early to Check In
Plan to be at Tybee Island Marina 30 minutes prior to departure to complete check-in and board without rush.
Bring Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Use reef-friendly SPF and a wide-brim hat — sun reflects strongly off shallow water and sandbars intensify UV exposure.
Secure Belongings in Dry Bags
Phones and wallets should go in waterproof bags; the boat anchors close to shallow water where splashes are frequent.
Watch Tides and Currents
Sandbar depth and current strength change with the tide; listen to crew instructions and avoid venturing into channels.
Swimsuit & Quick-Dry Towel
Comfortable swimwear and a fast-drying towel make the anchored sandbar time enjoyable.
