One of Joyride's curated routes throughout the local creeks and waterways may take you past a view of Bonaventure Cemetery!
Guests will leisurely cruise through beautiful creeks past stunning homes and the Oatland Island Wildlife center where they can take in the views from the water of the natural habitat and stunning wildlife.
On charter, you may cruise past the beautiful 100 year old Savannah Yacht Club and view their stunning vessels and possibly a sailing class in action!
If you are planning a trip to Savannah/Tybee Island I highly recommend booking this amazing experience. We got to see all the wildlife and great views and overall had the best time with Captain Malcom! Joyride provided us with everything we needed to have an excellent time! Thank you guys!
It was the most relaxing, pleasant two hours of my life! A perfect way to spend my 75th birthday.
Captain Malcolm was welcoming, hospitable, and full of local knowledge. We felt safe and well taken care of with him and our gorgeous electric boat. It was a quiet, relaxing ride on which we learned a lot about the area and enjoyed a beautiful sunset to celebrate our anniversary. Not to mention, the restaurant that Captain Malcolm recommended was our favorite of our trip to Savannah. Thanks a million!
If you're looking for a relaxing, memorable experience to wrap up your time in Savannah, look no further. The pace was wonderfully slow and unhurried, exactly what you want when you're winding down from a trip and just want to soak everything in. The highlight? Watching about a dozen dolphins swim right up alongside our boat. It was absolutely breathtaking, the kind of moment you don't forget. No aquarium, no show, just wild dolphins doing their thing in their natural habitat, up close and personal. This is the kind of experience that sneaks up on you and ends up being one of your favorite memories from the whole trip. Highly recommend for couples, families, or anyone who just wants to slow down and let Savannah work its magic one last time before heading home.
My friend and I had the most delightful boat ride with Captain Ellie! It was a relaxing day on the water and we saw lots of dolphins! If you are looking for a low-key outing, go for it!
We had a spectacular time on our Joyride! It was a beautiful evening to be on the water – the weather was perfect and once we got on the boat, there were no bugs to bother us. Taryn was awesome. She expertly navigated the Wilmington River and its tributaries through the marshes, pointing out the wildlife that we passed and sharing all the secrets of the river. We were safe and very comfortable the entire time, had some snacks and a birthday cake that we brought ourselves, and we even saw a few dolphins as we returned to the dock. Such a relaxing and fulfilling voyage. We already plan to book again when we have other family visiting us this fall. Thank you so much, Joyride Team!
It’s a fantastic way to see that part of the state. The boat is very quiet and comfortable. Lots of bird watching. They say there are otters and dolphins but we didn’t catch any our round.
Wow! What a fantastic time this was and a truly special experience. We can’t stop talking about our private cruise down the river. It felt like a dream. Loved how intimate the boat is and that we were able to stay warm with the walls up. We brought to go sandwiches and a bottle of prosecco and enjoyed it out on the water. It felt like our own little world, a real moment in time. Two hours felt like four. Captain Taryn was absolutely perfect! She’s so down to earth and educated us on a lot of great birds that we saw. She’s a kind soul who made everyone feel so welcomed aboard. Looking forward to doing this again!! Thank you to the whole Joyride Boat Club team! 🩷
This ride was so peaceful and the boat is so quiet. Taryn was an amazing captain. She was so informative and friendly. Everyone should try this!
This is a wonderful way to visit the salt marsh without getting your feet wet! The electric boat is charming, comfortable and quiet. Our captain was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and vegetation, a skilled boat handler and personable to boot. It felt like a friend taking us out for a spin instead of the canned patter one often gets on tours. Highly recommended- I'll go again if I'm in Savannah in the future. This is a good choice if you are interested in the salt marsh (as we were) or you are bringing the party.
Owners and captains super personable and knowledgeable; electric boat a whole new experience in a great way; beautiful area to explore by boat.
This Joyride boat tour was AWESOME! It was easy to book and the instructions for where to meet were clear. Also, we received a text from a real person, Audra, and she was so great. Answered our questions then met us at the boat where we joined captain Ellie for a delightful 2-hour marsh tour. Ellie was lovely and knowledgeable and we had a wonderful and relaxing ride. The boat was equipped with a cooler full of ice and water, a speaker, and adorable branded paper goods. We couldn’t have asked for a better boat ride experience.
This was an incredible experience. Exactly what my wife and I were hoping for. Relaxing boat cruise where we saw dolphins, turtles and all sorts of beautiful birds along the way. Our guide, Captain Malcolm, was informative and fun. Would recommend and will look forward to when we can go again.
Everything about our experience was wonderful - booking the experience, communicating with owner Audra via text before our vintage boat ride in Savannah, a friendly greeting to make sure we were all set, the pristine boat equipped with ice, napkins, cups and plates, music provided, knowledge on the area, and safety on the water…..we loved it all! We had the best time with our fabulous captain and can’t wait to book again with them!! Celebrating a milestone in this special way was extra memorable because of these sweet people.
This was a wonderful experience. We saw lots of wildlife and some very fancy yachts on the Wilmington river. In the future, Joyride plans to add an electric runabout to take clients to the Savannah river to see downtown.
Had a top-ten-day weather day on the Wilmington River with Captain Malcolm of Joyride. Reserved the electric, retro-style boat fitted with leather banquettes that comfortably sat three couples and a dining table that was the perfect place for cocktails and lunch. Bluetooth speakers played our favorite tunes while we floated along. We asked lots of questions about lowcountry waters and nature. Captain knew all the answers. Management is really nice and very organized. We all felt very welcome and taken care of.
We are in Savannah for several days. We wanted to see some of the surrounding areas, especially the low lands that we saw from the airline. Our Bed and Breakfast told us of Joyride that she had recently enjoyed. We took a 10 minute Uber to the dock where a very new and shiny electric boat along with our affable captain Taryn awaited. I'm a boater, the electric boat is quite a difference, silent and soothing. From the start we saw many dolphins and various birds close up as we moved silently thru the low land marsh. Taryn put on some very chill music to accompany our champagne lunch - It was a very enjoyable trip - Far preferable to the Riverboat experience.
