Private Jet Catering Savannah (KSAV / SAV) and the Golden Isles
Private jet catering in Savannah opens the door to one of the most gracious corners of the American South. Savannah (KSAV / SAV) serves the historic city of live oaks and garden squares, the resort island of Hilton Head across the state line, and the coast that leads south to the Golden Isles of Georgia. Crews fly in with golfers, families on beach holidays, guests heading to Sea Island and Jekyll Island, art and film lovers, and executives visiting the region's port and industry.
Global Diners prepares inflight catering in our own kitchens in Paris, Nice and Madrid and in our kitchens across more than 2,500 airports, including Savannah and the Golden Isles, where delivery is coordinated with your FBO or handler. This guide explores the Lowcountry dishes that travel well, the golf calendar, the short hop to St. Simons Island (KSSI / SSI), and the simple steps that keep every order calm.
Lowcountry flavours on board
Lowcountry cooking is generous, coastal and full of character. Wild Georgia shrimp is its signature, whether served chilled with a cocktail sauce, in a shrimp salad or in a gently reheated shrimp and grits. Crab cakes with remoulade, fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese with crackers and Vidalia onion dishes bring regional colour to a tray, while pecans and peaches inspire the sweet side of the menu.
Starters: chilled Georgia shrimp, crab cakes with remoulade, pimento cheese and benne wafers, and fresh garden salads.
Main courses: shrimp and grits, pan-roasted local fish, buttermilk chicken, and beef tenderloin with seasonal vegetables.
Light options: shrimp or chicken salad, grain bowls, sandwiches on soft rolls and fruit plates.
Sweets: pecan pie, peach cobbler, pralines and lemon tarts.
Drinks: iced tea, fresh lemonade, peach juice and coffee; wine or champagne subject to local rules.
For guests who prefer a classic European service, the Global Diners menu adds caviar, smoked salmon, fine cheeses and French pastries. Hot dishes travel with reheating guidance and separately packed sauces, every item carries allergen labelling, and halal, kosher and plant-based menus are available on request. Our article on seafood and shellfish on a private jet explains how shrimp and crab are kept perfectly chilled.

Golf on the Lowcountry coast
Golf shapes the calendar of this coast. In April, the PGA Tour visits Harbour Town on Hilton Head Island, and in November the tour returns to the Golden Isles at Sea Island. Between the two, resort courses along the coast welcome players through spring and autumn, when the weather is at its most pleasant. Golf groups often fly straight from the course, so individual sealed boxes, sandwiches, salads and fruit keep service quick, and a hearty breakfast suits early tee times.
For tournament weeks, we recommend sharing the schedule two or three days ahead and confirming passenger numbers as plans firm up. Our article on golf travel catering shares more ideas for players and their guests, and Hilton Head Island (KHXD / HHH) is a convenient arrival point for the island itself.
In the Lowcountry, hospitality is unhurried: a chilled shrimp salad, a slice of pecan pie and a glass of iced tea say welcome better than any speech.
The Golden Isles: St. Simons, Sea Island and Jekyll
South of Savannah, the Golden Isles stretch along the Georgia coast between marshes and the Atlantic. St. Simons Island combines a historic lighthouse, oak-shaded streets and a lively village by the pier. Sea Island is known for its resort, beach club and golf, while Jekyll Island preserves the cottages of the Gilded Age winter club and miles of quiet beaches. Further south, Cumberland Island is famous for its wild horses and untouched shoreline.
Many itineraries combine Savannah with a stay on the islands, and one order can cover the arrival, a short hop between airports and the return. Families often appreciate children's menus and simple snacks, and our team can prepare both. Spring and autumn are the most popular seasons, with summer bringing beach holidays and the November tournament week adding golf traffic to the islands.

Event-Season Private Jet Catering at Savannah (KSAV / SAV)
Savannah/Hilton Head International serves both the historic city of Savannah and the resort island of Hilton Head, so its busiest weeks combine city festivals with golf and beach season. March is the most intense month, when St. Patrick's Day and the music festival arrive together, followed in April by the PGA Tour at Harbour Town. Late autumn brings the SCAD film festival. These are the liveliest weeks of the year. Request catering two to three days in advance rather than at 24 hours, confirm headcounts early, and agree a delivery window with your FBO or handler. Lowcountry shrimp, chilled salads and Southern pastries pack well for the flight home.
Event | When | Where |
St. Patrick's Day | March | Historic district and River Street, Savannah |
Savannah Music Festival | Late March to early April | Theatres, churches and halls across the historic district |
RBC Heritage | April | Harbour Town Golf Links, Hilton Head Island |
SCAD Savannah Film Festival | Late October to early November | Trustees Theater and Lucas Theatre, Savannah |
St. Patrick's Day at Savannah (KSAV / SAV): March
Savannah hosts one of the largest St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the United States, with a long parade through its historic squares and a fountain dyed green in Forsyth Park. Hundreds of thousands of visitors come, hotels sell out months ahead, and business jet flights cluster around the parade day. Place orders early and allow relaxed timings on parade day. Hearty breakfasts, Irish-inspired dishes and hydrating drinks suit the morning after.
Parade, festival and tournament dates vary year by year, so please confirm them with our team when you order for Savannah.
Things to do around Savannah (KSAV / SAV)
Savannah's historic district is laid out around more than 20 shaded squares, ideal for walking tours, carriage rides or a stroll through Forsyth Park with its famous fountain. River Street's cobblestones and old cotton warehouses face the Savannah River. Tybee Island, about 30 minutes east, has a wide beach and a historic lighthouse. Hilton Head Island offers championship golf, tennis, cycling paths and dolphin cruises, and Daufuskie Island can be reached by ferry. Kayaking through tidal marshes and fishing charters show the Lowcountry at its best. For something different, ghost tours after dark and a trolley loop through the squares are popular with first-time visitors, and Wormsloe's long avenue of live oaks makes a beautiful short excursion.
