A Great Tour on the Waterways of Savannah - A great tour of the waterways of Savannah! Captains Ed and Phil were very friendly and shared interesting historical stories about the area-we saw eagles, dolphins, and enjoyed a beach landing on Wormsloe. We very much enjoyed our afternoon on the Intercoastal Waterway! This boating experience helps fund the clean up efforts in the local barrier islands! Communication was also very easy which we appreciated!
