Captain Stan Allen is very professional, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about inshore fishing. I highly recommend him for inshore fishing. He is excellent with children and enjoys exposing and teaching them about the sport of fishing! Excellent captain! George Beasley

I have been fishing with Captain Stan for the last 8 years. My goal is to be a charter captain, Stan has always been very gracious to teach and guide me in the business. Whatever your goal, Captain Stan will put you on the fish! Go have fun, he’s a great captain! George Sturgis

Amazing trip! Captain put us right on the fish, and we even got to see dolphins. 10/10 recommend!

Capt Stan guided my oldest grandson (20) and me for six hours. He is very knowledgeable about the area and shares his knowledge willingly. We caught the Tybee Grandslam even though it was a somewhat slow day. He took us to numerous spots in pursuit of a variety of fish. I recommend Capt Stan without reservation. Tight Lines!

Crab Creek Charters

Capt. Stan is by far the best inshore fishing charter on Tybee Island. He is very professional and dedicated to giving folks a good time on the water. He is old school but also equipped with all the best fishing tools, power pole and remote controlled trolling motor!:)
