Fun sunset cruise! - Fun evening spent on the water learning about Savannah and its wildlife/sea life. Captain Birdie was full of energy and her 1st Mate was very accommodating. Ending the day with this sunset cruise was great!

Fun, informative trip - We all 4 of us really enjoyed our trip with Captain Conner and Chris. So very friendly. We learned a lot but it was the charismatic banter with us that was awesome. Amazing to see some artifacts! Just overall a great buy for your money. Also nice variety of tunes.

Great trip, engaging and educational crew, and good tunes - We headed out and saw dolphins in first 30 minutes. Captain expertly navigated the boat so everyone had a chance to see. Also saw eagles. Captain and crew shared knowledge about both the dolphins and their habitat. We also passed a few massive ships, as Savannah has a very busy port just upstream. Captain took requests, although her playlist was excellent.

A great way to end a fun day in Savannah. - Captain Byrdie and Steven were great! They were very informative and genuinely entertaining. The sights were exciting and the view beautiful. We saw several dolphins and a pair of bald eagles enjoying a fish dinner on the shore. It was a great way to finish off a fun day in Savannah. We definitely recommend.

Fun on the Water! - The crew made the trip! You can tell how much they care about the environment and all the inhabitants- from the sea and bird life to the indigenous people and the settlers. They have some great artifacts to share too. We saw several dolphins. Due to the cloudy weather, the sunset was muted but seeing Savannah light up was still fun. Highly recommend!
