Cruising To Savannah - We had a very pleasant, but unexpectedly cold cruise to Savannah. Thankfully there’s plenty of inside space on board the boat. The crew were very welcoming and informative. The boat was well turned out and we saw dolphins along the way (1hr 45mins) in each direction. We took the trolley tour recommended by the boat crew and that was very good too.

Great experience for a special day! - We took the special Hilton Head to Savannah St. Patrick's Day cruise. The crew were very attentive and had a full bar and Jello shots for those wishing to participate. We arrived at the dock in Savannah with plenty of time to find a spot on the parade route. Savannah was great with the azaleas in full bloom. The weather was perfect. The parade was incredible! Long day, but the comfort of the ride back to Hilton Head near sunset was an experience we won't soon forget.

Love it!!! - This was such a nice cruise. Beautiful views of the intracoastal water way from Hilton Head to Savannah, nice staff, and no one got motion sickness either b/c the ride was smooth. Would have liked more time in Savannah though. So would be neat if we could get dropped off for an extra hour or two there. Will definitely do this cruise again!! Thank you for a great time :)

No complaints. Satisfied with experience. - Nothing stood out as memorable. It was a different way to get to Savannah historic district and back without driving or parking. No complaints. Arrival and departure on time.

Blue skies and cold breeze! - We had a very enjoyable round trip from Hilton Head to Savannah today. The instructions of where the dock was located and online tickets really helped the day go smoothly. The boat had seats both inside and out. The morning was chilly enough that most of us sat inside. The trip took about 2 hours and then we had 4 hours in Savannah. We took the 1 1/2 Hr trolley tour. The tickets were offered for sale on the boat which made it simple to do. We did make the mistake of sitting on the upper outside deck for the ride back-it was cold and windy! It would have been fine on a warmer day!
