About Us

Captain Robert is a born and raised Georgian man. He has been in the fire service for 35 years, with 25 of those years being a fireman for Glynn County Fire and Rescue. He has also served as a Combat Corpsman in the military and did a tour of duty in Iraq. You are in safe hands on the water!

If your preferred tour date isn't available, Captain Robert is most likely fighting fires, rescuing cats from trees, or walking an old lady across the street. When he is not working for the fire department, he enjoys his time taking small groups of people out on the water in his airboat or taking Sundays off to spend with his beautiful wife of 23 years. Together they have 3 children, 3 grandchildren, 2 dogs and a cat.

He established Island Airboat Tours in 2018 and has 10 years of experience as a captain. He enjoys sharing information about the Georgia Coastline and Ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will we see Alligators? It is a rare occurrence to see gators in the salt marsh. They prefer freshwater, but, if you are extremely lucky, we might.

2. Can I wear a hat? Yes, feel free! Just make sure it is strapped to your body or secured tightly.

3. What else do you recommend we bring? First, and foremost, bring a Camera! Take this golden opportunity to capture the wonder of the marsh and wetlands in Georgia. I also recommend polarized-sunglasses, bug repellent, and sunscreen.

4. Do you provide life jackets? Yes, but only for those over 3 years of age. Parents and/or Guardians must provide their toddler(s) under 3 years old their own life jackets or personal flotation device.

5. Can I bring my pet? Unfortunately, not. We don't allow any pets on the trip for safety and liability reasons. Please leave them behind with a good book, plenty of water, and food.

6. What is your policy on drinks? Feel free to pack a small cooler of water or other beverages. Just no alcohol. This is a short trip, you can wait until after we get back.

7. Speaking of drinks, do you have a bathroom? There is no restroom on the boat. What you see is what you get. Please go before you arrive.

8. What if there is bad weather? Island Airboat Tours reserves the right to make the weather call. It will not be decided more than 2 days out as the weather in Georgia never does what the weatherperson says. Have patience. You will receive a call or text if your reservation needs to be cancelled and rescheduled or cancelled and refunded due to bad weather.

9. What is your Cancellation Policy? Refund of the tickets are given to cancellations with greater than 24 hours' notice. Less than 24 hours' notice will forfeit all funds. The Ticket Service Fee is a non-refundable third party fee.
