A Great Tour on the Waterways of Savannah
A great tour of the waterways of Savannah! Captains Ed and Phil were very friendly and shared interesting historical stories about the area-we saw eagles, dolphins, and enjoyed a beach landing on Wormsloe. We very much enjoyed our afternoon on the Intercoastal Waterway! This boating experience helps fund the clean up efforts in the local barrier islands! Communication was also very easy which we appreciated!

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.
How much does Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah cost?
+
Prices start at $420 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.
Is Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Savannah?
+
Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Savannah?
+
March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Savannah?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah?
+
Included: Carbonated beverages; and Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah?
+
We'll meet you at the Pavilion in the parking area Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Sightseeing Boat Tour in Savannah?
+
