Free views of the riverfront riding the ferry was a wonderful experience plus a nice break from the heat on this very hot May afternoon. The ferry has tons of comfortable seats and plenty of huge windows to watch from. We just stayed on and rode the whole loop until we got back to where we started. Our feet and bodies got a break and we continued sightseeing . I highly recommend this Savannah Bells Ferry read more

Savannah Belles Ferry - The free ferry- we rode the Susie King Taylor II - Ferries Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Free ferry available in Savannah. It will go from the Westin Hotel and Convention Center to Waving girl Landing and then also to City Hall, which is right in the middle of downtown Savannah. This is a wonderful option that the city of Savannah has for people to get around because driving in Savannah can get very congested. The staff were very helpful, but they also maintained and upheld boat safety. It's important to know what's going on in Savannah when you are there because if there's a big event at the convention center, get congested and you may be waiting over an hour to get on the ferry. There's a schedule that they have posted on their website, which is pretty accurate. read more

Savannah Belles Ferry - Schedule - Ferries Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

This ferry is a free convenient way to get to the convention center. There are 3 convenient stops, convention center, waving girl and city hall landing. read more

They afent here on time, for example we were supposed to leave this stop 7 minutes ago and it's not even left the last stop yet. They should stay on time to what their schedule says because they made us rush and they aren't even on schedule. read more

During the summer of 2024 I took a ride on the ferry and I had lots of fun and took lots of photos throughout the cruise. Saw Old Fort Jackson which was pretty cool and bought a bag of fresh hot popcorn at a reasonable price. Can't wait to come back here again! read more

This Ferry is great for folks trying to get to and from River Street and the Savannah Convention center. It's free, safe, seemingly clean and the wait is only about 20 mins. It's Good for business travelers, I've seen them disembark with their carry-on and check in luggage. They're quick, coming from the City Hall landing to the Convention Center and then to the landing by the Marriott, in just 15 mins.? To be honest, it's only like a 10 minute walk from the Marriott, back to the City Hall landing, so I'd rather walk down River St. and enjoy the stores and sweets. But it's fun to try it at least once and there's no cost to you so I can see this being fun for first timers or families with little kids. Hip hip hooray for this boat service!! read more

provides free passage across the Savannah River between downtown's riverwalk and Hutchinson Island, home of the Savannah Convention Center and Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa. The City Hall which is a full limestone and granite structure with the gold leafed copper dome is viewed best from the Savannah belles ferry while in the river. We got into the ferry (it's free) at the City Hall Landing area. It took us to the Savannah Convention Center(which was closed) and Westinn area which is on the other side of the river. There is a model of Ogelthorpe's liberty ship there. read more

Savannah Belles Ferry - Ferries Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Sounds like a great idea but has not run on time this week. So don't depend on it if you have to be somewhere. It is 9:08 am and I am still waiting for the 8:20 ferry. Yesterday had to give up uber. My first time in savannah and read the reviews talking about how ferry runs on time. Decided to Stay across the river for a conference at the Westin. It's a clear day, no wind and no boat traffic. Very frustrating and disappointing. read more

Good, dependable service, often on modern, clean air conditioned cabins, efficient boarding and departures, and on schedule! Who can ask for more?!? read more

While I'm historic Savannah, you may or may not need to use the ferry, but this is a great plus for tourists. I had to use it four times per day while I was there and I thought it was the best thing ever. It took about 3-5 minutes to go from city landing to the convention center/ Westin. The Ferry runs about every 20-30 minutes and it is rarely late. If you leave from waving girl, it will first stop at city landing prior to the Westin across the river. They did close it down for a while on one morning due to poor visibility because of the fog. Did I mention the ferry is free. For those that don't need to use it, I still suggest you get on it for a quick tour down the river. read more

Always on ,or nearly on time. Turns a 20 minute- walk into a 5? Minute enjoyable river cruise. Have been taking it from Marriott hotel to city hall. Only bad part - Marriott shuttle ends at 6 pm. Westin goes until like 10 pm. O well keep Uber busy. read more

This is the easiest recommend ever. The complimentary water taxi alternating between The Westin and River Street is perfect!

Best things in life are free - and that certainly includes the lovely Savannah Belles Ferry ride ! The four beautiful "belles" or ferry boats are named after four remarkable Savannah women - Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the American Girl Scouts) , Mary Musgrove (Native American woman who played a crucial role in the founding of Savannah), Susie Taylor King ( gained freedom from slavery at age 14 and served as a nurse during the civil war) and Florence Martus (the waving girl of Savannah). The "belles" or ferry boats are charming historic vessels, maintained well and cared for well by the crew. The ferry operates between 3 docks - Trade center landing at Hutchinson Island near the Westin, the Waving girl Landing at Morrell park and the Savannah Riverwalk center at City Hall. I highly recommend just enjoying the ferry between these docks and the view from of beautiful Savannah from ferry - there's nothing like it! The ferries operate from 7 am till 10 pm daily - it's free. You can carry bicycles as well. The ferry ride is one of the reasons I love Savannah! I could never tire of taking the ride . read more

The ferry has three stops Marriott Riverfront, Convention center and Hyatt Regency. The ride is very pleasant and it is free. The boat leaves every 20 mins and it is on-time. It seems very history and spacious inside the boat. I highly suggest to try it if you are visiting Savannah as the scenery is very beautiful. read more

How cool is it to hop a boat whenever you want to cross the river?! We stayed at the Westin in April and even though the ferry is "free", you pay a resort fee for the privilege. Totally worth it! We found the ferries to be on time (the Westin gave us a brochure with scheduled times and it was easy to plan accordingly). The boats stopped at the Marriott, as well as the Hyatt. Pleasant and quick ride. Ferry got crowded, but it was comfortable. Loved it! read more

Such a convenient way to get from the Westin/Convention Center to downtown! (Lets you off right in front of the Hyatt and shops/restaurants in the historic area. It's a short ride, totally free, and the ferry runs about every 20 minutes. The schedule is posted at the stop and it also runs late, which is great if you're on the island and need to get into town but don't have a car. So cute too!! read more

Terrible experience, just awful....I am visiting Savannah and staying at the Westin with my 75 year old mother. We were trying to navigate the ramp safely to board the Savannah Belles Ferry after enjoying dinner from one of the local restuarants. The captin decided to leave us as we were practically feet away. He stated that we would need to catch the next one. This was super unacceptable and definitely not customer service oriented. Senior citizens and anyone one who may need to move at a careful comfortable pace need to be aware that this company may not have you in mind. Deeply sadden by this experience and I hate to have to share something like this! read more

Insane experience tonight with employee who lost his rocker. 10 minutes early for takeoff, walking down dock, he's talking to someone but I don't know and can't hear as it is loud and busy before st Patrick's. I get closer to boat and employee and say excuse me I couldn't hear, are you talking to me? He then starts yelling at me, tells me I'm banned from the boat tomorrow but he will let me on tonight t because my kids are on . We thought he was kidding at first, than he continued to yell at me, than made a speech in boat and pointed me out when he clearly must have heard something else because I never said a word to the guy. Embarrassed and scared my family, an insane jerk, should be fired, doesn't seem stable, very upsetting ride when we paid a lot to stay here read more

It runs about once an hour or seems to. If your not in a hurry it's a great way to get across the river without the drive over the bridge. read more

Note: I used this Ferry to get to the Expo for the RnR Savannah. IT'S FREE TO RIDE! Another note: If you're staying at the Hyatt Regency in DT Savannah - you literally take an elevator down (when facing the Hyatt, look to your right) and bam! You're at the entrance of the Ferry area. The line to the ferry is outdoors and first come first serve. Well - it was for us when we had to get to the Expo. The inside of the Ferry is actually massive. So many seats and etc! The outside is spacious too. Be careful and don't drop your phones :P Getting to the Expo took literally 3 mins. It's awesome. I really wasn't sure how long it'd take. Overall, fun way to get to the Expo! The guys who were in charge were polite and answered my obnoxious "is this the way to the Expo?" question, haha. read more

Don't try to have fun or interact with staff... One overly sensitive BIG giant baby on a power trip doesn't like to see people having fun. He will accuse you of saying things you didn't say, so he can ban you from going back across the river. Tell you to take an Uber... on st Patrick's day, like he doesn't know that's impossible. Even after you apologize for something you didn't do as a desperate attempt to get on the boat he still acted like a complete jerk. A call to his boss got us back on, but he threw a fit and sat on the back of the boat pouting as we got back on. Clearly he needs a job where he doesn't have to deal with people who are having a good time when he is not. Perhaps a job at a prison is a better fit for him. He should be required to take an anger management course. Will never get back on this ferry. I'm sure we were not the only ones to had to deal with this guys horrible attitude. He should not be front of the line. Others working on the boat seemed friendly and a better fit to work with people. Big guy needs to take a seat in the back. read more

The Savannah Belles Ferry is a ferry service that shuttles you across the Savannah River. It is a free shuttle service. They have stops at the Trade Center Landing located next to the Westin Hotel, Waving Girl Landing located at the Marriott Hotel, and the City Hall Landing which is located next to the Hyatt. A Ferry Boat leaves from the landing every 20 minutes. It is a nice ride if you don't want to take the bridge over to the Westin Hotel and back. The ride is nice and scenic. Please beware of the Savannah mosquitos while waiting for the ferry at the City Hall Landing. They are different from the Florida mosquitos that attacked my arm. The Savannah mosquitos attacked my legs, and bit through my clothes. The ferry is not only free, but, it is also clean. There are plenty of seats inside the boat. For those that don't mind getting bit by the mosquito, they also allow you to ride outside as well. The Savannah Belles Ferry is cool! Make sure you bring your mosquito repellant! read more

Not exactly a ferry but more a water shuttle. However it's free and the ferry's have very cute interior. The ferry is a nice chance to cool down and get to the other side of the river. read more

Ive ridden on multiple accounts day and night,Being a native to savannah,And It is always pretty good.I am very into Photography and a couple of my best shots where taken from this Ferry. It all started with myself attempting to get over a fear of Boats;And im glad i chose this as a way to do so, Its almost always pretty calm and uncrowded,Though at night (Say,9-11 PM ) It gets VERY Crowded,And expect drunk people from riverstreet. Its not too bad;But i wouldnt reccomend being outside when there are alot of drunk people carrying on if you're smaller.I'm on the smaller side and was nearly shoved off by someone twice my size because he was rough housing. I would not reccomend taking small children on the outside area purely because it is loud and the winds can be quite violent;But i have seen people do it. read more

Utilized this ferry service while in Savannah, crossing the Savannah River from the Westin over to the City Hall area. 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. It was one of the most convenient parts of being in Savannah! read more

The ferries are to run/leave every 20 min. How I arrive 5-10 min before every ferry, and each arrived 10 min late, and left 10 min after that...I have no idea. Though a fine idea, they tend to run late as f--k. read more
