FAQ
Reviews
This is an excellent option for traveling from Hilton Head Island to Savannah. The crew was friendly and informative. I recommend taking the trolley tour if it's your first visit.
The ride was enjoyable. I just wish we had more time to explore Savannah. It was difficult to hear the pilot as he explained the landmarks during the approach to the city.
Spending the day this way was fantastic! The boat offered comfort, and the team was welcoming and accommodating. Four hours provided a nice overview of Savannah. We encountered friendly fellow travelers and even spotted dolphins.
Taking the day trip to Savannah, Georgia with the Vagabond Captain and crew is always a pleasure. It has turned into a cherished tradition for my son and me. I absolutely love the experience and couldn't ask for better companions on the journey.
This was an enjoyable experience and a great way to explore the city. The boat was quite comfortable and was conveniently docked in the heart of town.
The views from the ferry were enjoyable, and I had a good time in Savannah. However, there wasn't enough seating available, forcing many of us to stay inside. The air conditioning inside was inadequate for staying cool.
Spending four hours in Savannah was truly delightful. The experience exceeded our expectations, thanks to the fantastic ride and the excellent staff.
It was an enjoyable trip with pleasant weather. The staff were friendly and the price was fair. Our only concern was difficulty hearing the historical narration and instructions from the back of the boat.
The experience was fantastic from start to finish. The crew and captain were highly professional and provided plenty of information. This is an essential activity when you're in Hilton Head Island.
The experience is not as advertised with a 4-hour stay in Savannah. We departed Harbour Town at 9 am and reached at 11:06 am, but the trolley didn't depart until 11:30 am. They instructed us to return to the ferry by 2:30 pm, leaving us only three hours in Savannah. The crew was fantastic and the facilities were decent, but it’s disappointing that most of the time was spent traveling rather than enjoying Savannah. Overall, we had only 3 hours there after accounting for 4 hours of travel. This should be made clearer in the description.
