Local Maritime Veterans Partner to Launch Drift Away Charter on Tybee Island

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. - Feb. 10, 2026 - PRLog -- TYBEE ISLAND, GA — Drift Away Charter announces its official launch, bringing a new level of specialized inshore and offshore fishing experiences to the Tybee Island coast. Led by Captain Tom Enser and veteran Mate Brad Stewart, the charter service aims to bridge the gap between novice interest and expert-level fishing success for locals and visitors alike.

The company enters the market at a time when demand for high-quality, guided outdoor recreation is at an all-time high. We solve the primary challenge facing many coastal visitors: the lack of access to a reliable, professional vessel and the deep-seated local knowledge required to navigate the complex Savannah-area waterways. Our services provide you with a turnkey solution to the logistical hurdles that often prevent families from enjoying a successful day on the water.

A Strategic Partnership of Local Expertise

The launch is highlighted by the partnership between Captain Tom Enser and Mate Brad Stewart. While Enser leads the business with a lifetime of angling passion, Stewart brings over two decades of local professional experience. Stewart was previously the long-time owner and captain of Stewart's Outfitter, a well-known fixture in the Tybee fishing community for years.

By joining forces, we provide you with a unique "brain trust" on the water. This combination of Enser's fresh vision and Stewart's historic knowledge of Tybee's specific reef systems and tidal patterns ensures that our guests have a distinct advantage when hunting for local species.

Expanded Coastal Access

We have designed our offerings to be highly accessible, providing options for various time commitments and target species:

• Inshore Technical Fishing: Half-day and full-day trips targeting Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Sea Trout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead in the tidal creeks and marshes.
• Offshore Sport Fishing: Seasonal excursions for Black Sea Bass, Triggerfish, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Grouper, Vermillion Snapper, and Cobia.
• Specialized Shark Trips: Three-hour afternoon trips designed specifically for families and groups looking for high-impact adventure in a shorter window.

Booking and Operations

Drift Away Charter is now accepting reservations for the upcoming season. We prioritize a transparent booking process that eliminates the common frustrations of hidden fees or equipment rentals. Your trip includes all necessary licensing, bait, and high-end tackle.
