It's a beautiful two hour boat ride to the Riverfront at the port of Savannah. They also sell trolley tickets on board and the trolley picks up right at the dock. If walking it's an easy stroll to the squares and Broughton St. Our captain was delightful and personable and greeted everyone who boarded. The boat is a two story cataraman with available drinks and snacks for purchase. We will definitely do this again as no need to worry about parking!
A really fun cruise to Savannah

The trip was very good. The captain was knowledgeable of the area and gave us key points along the way and visiting ships, from Hilton Head to Savannah. She was very kind and helped my wife and I while boarding. The crew was nice and helpful. My only complaint was that we did not have enough time ashore. We needed the full 4 hours, but got about 3 1/2 hrs.
Great roundtrip to Savannah and back

My wife and I along with our son and his wife and children took this cruise on Oct. 21, 2025. We arrived about 1 hour before the scheduled departure time and parked in the lot on the left just after the playground with no problems. We made our way down the dock and waited about 20 minutes before boarding the ‘Spirit of Harbour Town’ boat. We were one of the first on board and decided to sit on the upper open deck in the back. I will caution everyone that this is not a good area to sit as some of the engine exhaust flows around this section of the boat. We were able to move about 5 foot away from the back which was a lot better. I would recommend that if you have a choice to sit on the side a few tables away from the back on in the front. The lower deck is enclosed and air conditioned if you prefer to sit there. There are bathrooms on board and a small bar which offers drinks and snacks for sale. The trip takes about 90 minutes and meanders along the byways to the Savannah River. Along the we were able to see several dolphins, blue herons and 2 bald eagles. The captain would let everyone know whenever dolphin were spotted in the water. You have about 4 hours to visit Savannah before the boat leaves to go back to Hilton Head. We found this to be enough time to shop along River Street and enjoy a meal at Spanky’s. It is a pleasant and enjoyable trip and I would recommend it to all. One thing to be aware of is that as you enter this part of the island on Hilton Head you will have to pay a $9.00 entrance fee for the day and is cash only. Once you return you can enjoy the evening at one of the restaurants and shop in the various stores, or visit the lighthouse and museum.
