Highly Recommended! - Very interesting and informative. Captain Rita and Mate Seara were knowledgeable and very friendly. Boat is comfortable, but small enough to fully explore the port. Highly recommended!

Unlike any other tour and worth it! - Money and time well spent! Very informative and enjoyable tour. Offers an entirely different perspective then dry land tours. Excellent info on the ships and their loading/ unloading procedures. Hey when was the last time you were under a container ship with 24000 containers on it above you? One of the best Savannah experiences on our visits there.

Port tour must see - Captain Conner and deckhand Lauren were extremely hospitable, entertaining and knowledgeable about the river and the ports. The tour of the river was very up close to the ships and the knowledge shared in how the ports worked and showing us the actual working of the shore support was outstanding. There was so much good detailed information shared that it kept everyone’s interest up to the end. Time passed way too fast. I strongly recommend this tour. It is a must experience if you’re coming to Savannah!!!!

Incredibly engaging field trip - I took 19 of my students aged 9-12 since we were studying industrialization and how important a port was to the economy here. Several parents went along too. We had the opportunity to see the tugs pull a ship off the berth and to see them turn the ship completely around to dock. This was my second field trip and it is still just as amazing. Our captain was awesome and really engaged the kids and the adults.

Savannah River tour - Fun to see the port operating and ships being loaded and unloaded. the guide could get a little more knowledge of the process. The dredges were operating when we passed them, it would have been nice to go a little further through the river.
