I am Captain Bill Whiteman, your Coastal Georgia guide. I have been navigating the coastal waters of Georgia for the past 24 years. After retiring from Corporate America and moving full time from Atlanta GA to Colonels Island GA in 2021, my wife Elaine and I knew we found “our home” navigating the beautiful waterways of Coastal GA. Our passion for boating is unwavering as we channel our inner Kenny Chesney and Jimmy Buffett! We wanted to share this amazing experience with others and Billigan Tours was founded.
Captain Bill has completed one of the "Coastal Steward UGA Programs” and is certified by the new CARE (Coastal Awareness and Responsible Ecotourism) program. The program, launched in 2021 by Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant and Manomet, Inc., provides ecotour companies with the tools to implement best practices when it comes to water-based tourism. Engaging ecotourism companies through a certification course will build support for conservation and stewardship of important habitats and wildlife on the coast.
