Born from a love of Lowcountry waters, Sail Savannah invites you to trade city cobblestones for salt-tinged breezes. Coast Guard-licensed captains guide each private charter or ASA-certified lesson, sharing local lore, dolphin hid...
This sailing experience consistently delivers something special, and it shows in the genuine enthusiasm from guests. The small boat setup (capped at 6 people) creates an intimate atmosphere that larger tours can't match, and the crew – mainly Captain Ed, Andrew, Becca, and Connie in various combinations – earn praise for striking that perfect balance between knowledgeable professionalism and warm hospitality. People love that they can bring their own food and drinks, and the crew actively encourages hands-on participation if you want it, letting guests handle lines, take the helm, or simply relax with a drink while someone else does the work. Dolphin sightings appear to be a regular bonus, with several mentions of close encounters, and one reviewer even spotted a shark. What really stands out is the versatility here. Couples book sunset sails for anniversaries and proposals, finding them genuinely romantic and memorable. Families bring kids who get to help with the sails. Groups of friends appreciate the laid-back vibe and fresh perspective on Savannah's waterways. Beyond recreational sailing, they also offer ASA certification courses (101 and 103 mentioned specifically), with instructor Ed Owens getting high marks for making the learning process fun while covering everything thoroughly. The only wish anyone expressed was wanting the trips to last longer, which tells you plenty. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape from crowded tourist spots or an interactive sailing adventure, this operation seems to nail it consistently.
This was such an incredible experience! My fiance and I took our engagement photos on a sailboat with Connie and Ed! Everything about Sail Savannah was easy to book! Ed and Connie were so kind! They made sure to guide us and make sure we were safe on the boat! We shot pictures for an hour and they were awesome at making sure our photographer could get great pictures and not fall overboard! After we took pictures we slowly headed back to the dock! On the way back we saw a TON of Dolphin! Ed and Connie gave us a ton of tips and tricks on how to get the best views of them! Connie and Ed stopped the boat before we got to the dock so we could see the sunset! We were so relaxed and it was so peaceful! We can't thank them enough for making us feel special and for making the experience a once in a lifetime adventure!
