Did a dinner cruise with my husband and 3 other couples. Our waiter, Andrew, was very polite and helpful with getting anything we needed. The buffet was good with a lot of choices. I wish they had some au juice for the prime rib. The pork loin was very tender. Loved the potato casserole. Good desserts. Music on the outside... More

we went on the harbor tour which i thought was going to be something totally different. the title "harbor" tour should have clued me in. the ferry leaves the dock and goes a litle ways down the harbor and turns around and goes to the other end of the harbor. they are telling you some interesting facts along the way...

I just came back from Savannah. My husband and I went on the dinner cruise. The food was terrible and all we did was circle the bay. The meat on the buffet was dry. As soon as everyone went through the buffet once the employees immediately started tearing down the buffet without giving people a chance to go back up... More

We booked the luncheon cruise. It was a great way to see the city and a great way to get pictures that we would not have otherwise been able to take. We were there during the Big Ships display and would not have been able to get very good pictures of the ships if we were on land. The buffet... More

If you are looking for a scenic cruise, this may not be for you. The riverboat takes you up past the bridge & explains the history of the port of Savannah. You guide also talks about the growth of the port & what types of import/export business goes on in this area. You then are transported back past River Street... More

The riverboat dinner cruise was a surprise for my 50th birthday. As we boarded we had our pictures taken by the photographer. We were escorted to our window seat table, where flowers, balloons, and a bottle of champagne awaited me. There was a 1 man band that was very good & kept the crowd occupied by singing, dancing, and playing... More

If you like to sail up a river and see nothing but a port with shipping crates, then this is the tour for you. Boring and a total waste of time and $$$. Save your money and enjoy the day on River Street....and make sure you go to "all" the candy stores....they are awesome!

We loved this tour, seeing the riverfront from the water, having the history and the current shipping industry explained was wonderful. We were not on any of the cruises that have a meal, we just wanted to learn about the harbor and see Savannah from the water. Besides visiting Tybee, this was our favorite thing we did in Savannah.

Wow! What a joke. I paid almost $100 for a quick tour up the river to view a bunch of boats being loaded and then back down the river to view items on Bay street. You don't go more than 2 miles on the river. You can get the same experience by simply walking on Bay Street. Save your money... More

We went on the Easter Brunch tour for Easter 2012. We got aboard at 1230pm and set sail at 1pm and returned at 230pm. The food had a lot of breakfast items on there. They offered sliced beef (very dry), turkey (looked dry), and ham. They also had some nice salads and shrimp.Overall the best thing I thought they had... More
