Nice idea But

Don’t waste your time and money on the boat ride. For the cost, there was not any narrative and what little the captain did have to say could not hear. On the return trip we were stuck inside air conditioning was poor very very uncomfortable. The noise from the motor was so loud you could not even hear each other talking. We did purchase the photo which was a plus.

Ferry trip to Savannah

Great trip! Ease of pick up at HH and Savannah. Drinks for purchase Only problem we had was that we could not hear the narrator at all

Misleading

It is not a 4 hour stay in Savannah. Left Harbour Town at 9am. Arrived 11:06am. Trolley didn't leave until 11:30am. They said be back at ferry at 2:30. Three hours in Savannah. Crew was amazing. Comfortable enough. Bathrooms good. Just disappointed we spent more time traveling as being in Savannah. 4 hours of traveling, (9-11:06) (3 to 5) only 3 hours there. Should be advertised as such.

Was a nice trip. We had good weather. Staff was nice. Price was reasonable. The only issue we had was a hard time hearing the history narration & instructions at the back of the boat.
