Welcome to Season 4 of the Made of Savannah Podcast!

There's something magical, even mesmerizing about being on the water in Coastal Georgia. It's a way of life that so many people crave - and so many of us who live in Savannah, Georgia enjoy to the fullest.

We have the pleasure today of sitting down with Captain Jason DeShay and Jamie Coffey who are the proud owners of the new boat charter experience called Sweetwater Charters of Savannah. We are excited to have Jay and Jamie - and Sweetwater Charters - as one of our sponsors this season.

Captain Jay brings 25 years of professional experience as a yacht captain across the globe and Jamie Coffey brings over 20 years of event production, along with a decade of teaching yoga and leading retreats to the team. While both are world travelers, their love story began right here in Savannah, and they knew instantly they wanted to share their passion for a life on the water with the local community and visitors from near and far – and from this inspiration, Sweetwater Charters was born! Jamie and Jay reside in beautiful Thunderbolt with their Jack Russell puppy named Ginger, who also serves as "little skipper” on board.

There are so many adventures you can choose from like: 2-6 Hour Cruises, Daytripping to Daufuskie Island, Mermaids & Mimosas, and Sharktooth Island. The beautiful 27' Crest Pontoon is truly a "living room on the water". Captain Jay and Jamie are also rolling out the red carpet for locals by giving them a BIG DISCOUNT on their first booking!

Jennifer Crumpton is pulling back the curtain on Savannah real estate and giving us insights into her journey of becoming a top-producing agent in one of the most sought-after places in the country. Originally from Tifton, Georgia, Jen is deeply dedicated to helping guide her clients in their success story.

Her background as agent with home builders gave her a unique foundation - pun intended - of truly understanding the "dream home" scenario from the ground up. Today, Jen loves to share that knowledge with her clients as they navigate the landscape of buying a home, finding investment property, or selling their current home in order to start new chapters.

Welcome to Season 4 of the Made of Savannah Podcast!

Laura and Perry Solomon are the hearts, hands and minds responsible for creating the first floating oyster farm in Georgia. The Tybee Oyster Company is a full-on family operation bringing a deeper - and delicious - meaning to being "Georgia Grown".

Born and raised on Tybee Island, Perry's family has been there for six generations - his grandfather even took the train (The Marsh Hen) back and forth to school in Savannah. He says a big part of his childhood was "enjoying the bounties of the sea" with his family. As Laura and Perry traveled with the Navy, they watched the oyster industry evolve and grow in other states and wondered why it wasn't happening in Georgia. So, they took it in their hands ... for real!

As far as the growing process: You've likely heard about - and maybe even had the pleasure of eating - the Salt Bombs. These oysters are grown at the mouth of the Bull River within sight of the Atlantic Ocean. They are cultivated in floating baskets where they are polished and shaped by the brisk current and high energy wave action rolling-in off Wassaw Sound.

They all begin as seed provided by the UGA Oyster Hatchery on the Skidaway River, right here in Savannah. 

Mark your calendars to celebrate National Oyster Day at Savannah's inaugural raw bar event, the "Georgia Oyster Revival" November 10th at Starland Yard.
