Charleston, SC (January 26th, 2009) — PaddleFish, Inc., one of Southeast’s fastest growing ecotour companies, announced the opening of a new location in Savannah, Georgia at the Bull River Marina located at 8005 Old Tybee Road (Hwy. 80 East), between historic downtown Savannah and the beaches of Tybee Island.

“After our successful expansion to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in western North Carolina is 2008, we refocused on opportunities along the South Carolina and Georgia coast. Several cities were targeted, but Savannah offered the right conditions for market growth,” said Joe Rowland, partner and chief marketing officer.

PaddleFish opened its first location in downtown Charleston, South Carolina in 2004 with a handful of kayaks and two guides. Armed with the mantra that sea kayaking should be accessible to everyone regardless of age or experience, PaddleFish built a tour program around boats, gear, and facilities designed for comfort, expandability, and ease-of-use. Guides were trained to place emphasis on the experience of interacting with nature instead of the sport of sea kayaking. PaddleFish now offers guided sea kayaking tours, powerboat excursions, and multi-day expeditions from five unique destinations in three southeastern states.

PaddleFish will begin offering guided sea kayaking tours in early March 2009. Guided sea kayaking nature tours, guided sea kayaking sunset tours, and guided sea kayaking fishing trips are among the initial tours to be offered from the Bull River Marina with multi-day expeditions slated for 2010.
