The boat slips quietly away from the blue MarineMax Savannah Bend Marina and the city exhales: salt air, a ribbon of river light and the hush of electric motors replace engine roar. A two-hour evening cruise threads tidal creeks, passes century-old yacht masts and skirts marshes where herons preen while the sky leans toward orange.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The boat slips quietly away from the blue MarineMax Savannah Bend Marina and the city exhales: salt air, a ribbon of river light and the hush of electric motors replace engine roar. A two-hour evening cruise threads tidal creeks, passes century-old yacht masts and skirts marshes where herons preen while the sky leans toward orange.
Savannah’s waterways shaped its rise as a port city in the 18th and 19th centuries; today the riverfront still carries commercial traffic but also offers intimate views of Bonaventure Cemetery’s live oaks and the low, private homes along the islands. The local geology is coastal plain — flat, marshy, and tidal — which makes for long, slow waterlines and reflective sunsets that stretch the horizon.
Culturally, the river is a shared stage: sailing classes at the Savannah Yacht Club, wildlife volunteers at Oatland Island, and families launching kayaks from hidden ramps. On an electric vessel, the water seems to invite you closer; birds call, dolphins sometimes slip a bow wave, and the captain narrates landmarks without competing noise.
Practicalities matter: charters seat up to six, include a professional captain, life jackets, bottled water, cooler and Bluetooth speakers, and depart from Savannah Bend Marina (allow a 10–15 minute rideshare from downtown). BYO snacks and beverages; children under 13 must wear life vests under Georgia law. Expect easy boarding for most, but the operator notes the trip is not recommended for guests in wheelchairs or on crutches. Time your cruise for 30–45 minutes before sunset for the best light, bring layers for the breeze, and keep binoculars ready — this is a quiet way to see Savannah’s river country as the day goes down.
The private electric boat seats up to six guests comfortably; the charter is private and includes a professional captain.
Yes—this is BYO for snacks and beverages; the vessel provides cups, plates, napkins, a cooler and ice, but do not bring glass containers for safety.
