    Such a wonderful time on the Georgia Queen! Our server Jaleea was amazing! Jaleea was super attentive, pleasant and went the extra mile during our visit.

    Five Stars for this little ferry. It offers a wonderful little ride on the waters of the Savannah aboard great little boat and it's FREE! Do you hear me! free! Free! FREE! Compliments of the City of Savannah. The complete round trip ride only takes around a half hour, but it's a wonderful ride. There are several ferry boats, all the same, built by Patti Shipyard. Mine trip was aboard the "Juliette Gordon Low," named after the person who founded the Girl Guides which today is known as the Girl Scouts. Like the other ferry boats, for me it was a breath taking marvelous little ferry. When you board it you would swear you are walking back in time aboard a Trumpy yacht of the roaring 20's with a gorgeous wood like decorative interior design, a sort of fantail aft, top notch air conditioning, overhead ceiling fans and offering a classic vertical axis yawing ride though the currents and over the waves. I highly recommend you to try it.

    As a visitor, we thoroughly enjoyed our brief time on the ferry. What can I say?? You board the ferry. You sit or stand outside or in. You cross a body of water. You arrive safely on the other side. Love it!!

    Utilized this ferry service while in Savannah, crossing the Savannah River from the City Hall area, back to the Westin. Surprisingly, this was a free passenger ferry service. The ride is short, but scenic, and a nice way to see the city area along the river. You can sit inside, or outside, but I recommend outside so you can get a really great view! It was one of the most convenient parts of being in Savannah!

    Totally unreliable. Waited forever. If you need to get somewhere at a specific time drive across the bridge.

It was a…read morerelaxing way to see Savannah from a different perspective while learning about the riverfront and the Port of Savannah. The narration was informative, and seeing the massive cargo ships and waterfront activity was a unique experience. The boat was spacious, with both indoor seating and outdoor viewing areas. We ordered the chicken tenders and fries, and they were surprisingly good--definitely above average for food on a sightseeing cruise. We also opted for the 42 oz souvenir drink, which was well worth it if you plan on enjoying a few drinks during the cruise. It lasts the full three-hour experience, and the bartender was fantastic--friendly, personable, and made a great drink. Unfortunately, it rained during part of our cruise, which likely impacted the experience since we couldn't spend as much time outside taking in the views. Of course, the weather isn't something the company can control, and there was plenty of indoor seating to stay comfortable. Overall, this was a fun and worthwhile experience that I'd recommend to first-time visitors, couples, and families. Between the scenic views, interesting narration, better-than-expected food, and excellent bar service, it was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours on the Savannah River. I'd definitely return--hopefully on a sunny day next time.

    Had a good time on the Savannah Riverboat Cruise…read more Honestly, the best part was being able to get out on the water, walk around the boat, and see Savannah from a different perspective. There was some history mixed in along the way, which was interesting, and the whole experience was relaxing. The food was probably the weakest part for me. It was served buffet style with fried chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, plus fruit. It wasn't bad, but it was all pretty lukewarm and just didn't leave much of an impression. That said, I don't think people are booking this for the food anyway. You're booking it for the views, the boat, and the experience. We had fun, enjoyed the ride, and I'm glad we did it.

    Beautiful, untouched, and pristine are just a few of a bounty of words that could be used to…read moredescribe this wonderful place. Amazing and awesome are a couple others. Not a lot of people make it to Ossabaw Island. For one there is no regular ferry service nor is there a road that runs to the island. This is on purpose. Sandy Torrey West, whose family has owned the island since the 1920's, sold the island to the state in 70's as a Heritage Preserve with the understanding that Ossabaw would "be used for natural, scientific and cultural study, research and education, and environmentally sound preservation, conservation and management of the Island's ecosystem". That means that unless you go there for one of the few deer / hog hunts the state puts on or you go there for an event you probably aren't getting there. If you have a boat you can park it off the beach and come up on the beach, but it's illegal to go past the high tide line of the island. I believe the island sees less than 2000 people a year on it. It shows too. I got to check the island out for myself after going on a service trip with the Georgia Conservancy. We arrived on Friday by a special ferry, worked on cleaning up the large spanish style Torrey West mansion and the clubhouse/grounds Saturday, and left Sunday. During this time we took full advantage of the clubhouse that was built in the 1880's and recently revamped. We also hung out with the feral donkeys that are on the island, as well as took an hour long ride through the forest and marsh to check out the beach. We saw armadillos, wild hogs, alligators, and lots of shore birds. It's amazing how wild and unspoiled the island is. No trash, no noise, no people. Just wilderness. The ride through the interior of the island made me think of Jurassic Park. Just huge old live oaks with spanish moss hanging down and lots of palmettos scattered about. Interesting tidbit is the road that we went down is possibly oldest continously-used dirt road in the country. Mrs. Torrey West has moved off the island at age 103 and the Ossabaw Island Foundation will soon be in the process of slowly renovating her house as they already have for the clubhouse and bunkhouse. There are also some slave cabins that are slowly being restored as well. Long before Mrs. Torrey West and family lived here there were 4 plantations on the island. If interested in seeing and staying on the island yourself look on the Ossabaw Island Foundation website, they manage the cultural and education aspects of the island, and check out the calendar. There are often writing or artist workshops which is what Sandy Torrey West wanted for her island. The Island is ridiculously beautiful and I am so thankful to Sandy Torrey West and other wealthy land owners like her on the Georgia coast who thought that the best thing for their islands would be conservation for future generations. I have been to Cumberland which I always thought was untouched, but Ossabaw beats Cumberland out by a mile. The unspoiled nature of the island is something that can only being experienced by being there. *Google Eleanor Torrey West for more info on how this island came to be. The story behind her life and love of the island is quite interesting.
