Savannah honeymoon cruise
Absolutely well worth the price. The crew were very friendly and attentive. Beautiful scenery the entire trip and a great way to spend the day on a cruise to Savannah as well as 4 hours of walking around the city. They try to sell trolley tours which is recommended but at the same time we chose to walk and see for ourselves rather than riding the shuttle and get off places and get back on.

Lovely little trip to...
Lovely little trip to visit Savannah from Hilton Head. On time and better than driving. The day was warm and we were able to relax while learning some historical details along the way. Easy drop off and pick up. They offered light refreshments. We ate in Savannah.

HH/Savannah cruise
Trip was timely and plenty of time for lunch and to shop and walk around before heading back to Sea Pines. Lunch at the pink house was wonderful too.

The whole trip was great....
The whole trip was great. However, I was surprised that there was no mention of life jackets or even where they could be found on the boat.

Best way to Uber to Savannah
We took the boat to Savannah and back. Best way to day trip Savannah. Sit up top. Breeze keeps you cool and you can hear speaker describe things along the way. Drink prices little on high end, but not like you are riding and tailgating. Takes around 90 minutes each way. Get about 4 hrs in town then board again. Took 1 star off because speakers on main deck do not work. Missed emergency instructions and guide comments.

Amazing ride to Savannah!
Captain Renee and her crew were fabulous, the ride to Savannah and back was smooth and informative. We got to see bottlenose dolphins and a couple of bald eagles!!!

Day Trip to Savannah by Boat
Highly recommend this day trip! It’s a quiet boat trip along the Intercostal, saw dolphins and eagles. Crew was courteous and friendly. The speakers on the boat didn’t work so we couldn’t hear the guide aspect of the tour. Otherwise this was a great way to get to Savannah and enjoy a few hours in that beautiful historic city!
