The fiery red sunsets above the coastal marshes each evening—a daily spectacle of color washing across spartina grass and winding tidal creeks, unmistakably South Georgia.

The blue Atlantic Ocean below the skies defines our boating culture and reminds us of the power, scale, and responsibility that come with going to sea.

The great golden sun hovers in the middle—constant, guiding, and inseparable from the name of our beloved Golden Isles.

At the center of it all, a white seabird flies free with wings spread wide, symbolizing the freedoms we enjoy as boaters and as a nation.

Simple colors. Clear meaning.

A burgee that belongs exactly where it flies.
