This is one of the best experiences in Savannah and Dan was absolutely terrific. The 90 minutes went so fast and so engaging and informative. Loved it!

Ou guide, Peter, talked about the history of Savannah in vague terms not like the bicycle tour of the city. His information was not organized. It seemed he liked to talk but didn't offer useful information. Others on the trip expressed similar frustrations.

Boat skipper was very knowledgeable and had plenty to say when asked questions, which made the tour even better.

Visiting Tybee Island for the first time, we were very curious about the acivity at the port. we had no idea that Savannah ports played such a valuable role in US. While this tour provided some great information that explained a lot, it was very hot. make sure to bring a hat and sunscreen. free water is available on the boat. Manon was our captain and she was great.

Beth_B, Jul 2026
Wonderful outdoor activity. Lots of history revealed. We saw wildlife dolphins and got real close to huge cargo ships. Our captain was personable and experienced and made us all feel comfortable and safe.
Amy_B, Jun 2026
Only a few seats had shade. Way too hot and uncomfortable to sit in full sun. You should have a covering for everyone. Our captain was good. While the boat was moving it was fine but she sat in the water too much

Extremely informative and interesting. Captain was fantastic; knowledgeable, personable, and funny. Loved this excursion. Highly recommend.

Captain Joe was very informative and answered all the questions asked of him. He has lots of inside history and knowledge of the port, cranes and ships. The future of the port seems to be coming into its own.we will revisit when the Panama class ships start visiting. Thanks Joe!!

Experiencing the commercial aspect of a city while vacationing is equally important to me and this tour met my expectations. The weather was perfect and our guide Manon was prepped, energetic and engaging.
Frank_A, May 2026
USCG Master Captain Peter Pearson was very informative and had great stories as well. He commanded the boat and got us up close and personal with the different ships which were very impressive! The whole experience was one in a life time if we never get back down this way! A must experience opportunity that was well worth it!
Mary_D, May 2026
Captain Joe made this an interesting and fun excursion. He knows the layout of the port and Savannah River well.
Lisa_W, Apr 2026
Great experience. Watched containers being loaded and unloaded. Up close view. Lots of behind the scenes information. Very knowledgeable and personable guide.
Dianne_W, Apr 2026
A great overview of the port and it's operation. Up close look at huge ships with explanations of how container ships work, and the huge cranes that load them.
Tim_K, Apr 2026
Great tour. Very informative. Terrific guide. We saw the ships up close and were amazed. Warning: Wear suncreen! And there are no bathrooms on the boat.
Isaac_P, Apr 2026
The captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made everyone feel comfortable. I would be bringing back my friends and family.

The trip didn’t start when scheduled. Was over 30 minutes late. You have to pay to park and the boat we went on was not what they advertised. No restrooms or food to purchase.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear the trip did not meet expectations.
We sincerely apologize for the delayed departure. We know your time is valuable, and that’s not the experience we aim to provide.
I also wanted to clarify that the vessel used for this tour is intentionally a smaller, more intimate boat, which is reflected in the photos on our website. It does not have onboard restrooms or food service, and we try to set that expectation in advance so guests can plan accordingly.
We appreciate you sharing this, and we will use your feedback to continue improving communication and the overall experience.
Astrid_A, Apr 2026
Our captain was great and knew a lot about the port operations. We enjoyed the fact that we were on a small tour group of 16 people, in a small maneuverable boat that could get right up close to give us a good view of the port operations.
The tour operator gave good meeting instructions and the captain departed on-time.

I booked this for my 7 year old nephew. I thought he would love seeing the huge ships up close. The tour was really awesome. I will say the boat gets super hot, you are sitting in the direct sun for extended periods of time so you absolutely need sunscreen. You will definitely get hot! There is minimal to no shade on the boat. We got a lot of history before entering the port which was great for the adults but a lot for the kiddo. He doesn’t understand the politics and history. The captain usually spends about 30 or so minutes before going into the actual port discussing the history about the port and such. I think the history is awesome, but hard for young kids to grasp, if I could change one thing it would be that we go into the port let the kids watch the tankers load and then discuss the history so both kids and adults are entertained. Overall my nephew gave this a 2 thumbs up which is generally a good thing. He said he got lost a bit in the history but loved going fast with the boat and the big ships. I wound definitely do this with your kids, such a cool thing to see up close! I

You go out in a boat and hear about the history of the city and on down to the loading of the cargo ships. We had Captain Pete and really enjoyed it. He was very informative and fun.

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your time with captain Peter on our Savannah Port Tour! Thank you for your 5-star review!

Captain was informative and had engaging side stories. Seamed well-equipped to lead the tour. We may could have done more research or digging beforehand, but comments from the others on our boat led me to believe they were not aware as well. The boat is smaller, which isn’t a problem necessarily, but it was very gusty that day. Captain told us before we left that we could expect to get wet and cold. I think a text heads up with the confirmation would have been helpful to realize it was not covered and smaller. Otherwise a great time and would do it again in nicer weather.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience on your port tour. We will take these notes into consideration for the future, and we are glad to hear you had a great time on the tour!
Bryan_S, Mar 2026
Overall the experience was fantastic. We had a very well educated well informed guide/captain. We were given insight to the overall history as well as operations of the harbor and had the opportunity to get up close and personal with several massive cargo ships
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review of our Savannah Port Tour! It is fascinating seeing how the port functions up close!
bxallen, Mar 2026
Great tour of the Savannah Port with a knowledgeable captain.
We were able to watch the loading of a tanker and to understand what a shipping port is all about. It was also a perfect, sunny and warm day to be out on the river and fun to look at the city from this vantage point.. Our boat was small - seated 8 comfortably.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Fun to look at ships from a different viewpoint, but couldn't hear anything. The captain needs a microphone
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback on our Savannah Port Tour. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the ships from a different viewpoint and appreciate you letting us know about the audio issue. We will share this with our captain and team so we can improve the experience moving forward.
