Lounge on a Trimaran's Nets as Savannah's Marsh Slides Past
Two hours on a broad, steady trimaran out of Wilmington Island, with your own drinks aboard and an eye out for dolphins.
This is a shared two-hour sail on a 43-foot trimaran that measures 27 feet across, docked on Wilmington Island between downtown Savannah and Tybee. This listing sells seats on a shared sail and caps each sailing at six travelers, so another party may be aboard with yours.
Several travelers report having the boat to themselves. Treat that as luck. It is BYOB, and the listing describes the outing as casual and uncrowded, out among the coastal creeks and rivers around the island.
A few rules shape the booking. Every booking needs at least one adult, children 4 to 17 pay the adult fare, and children under 4 ride free. Confirmation is instant, and the listing stops taking bookings 12 hours before departure.
Two Hour Coastal Sailing CruiseShared two-hour sail on a 43-foot trimaran from Wilmington Island in Savannah. Up to six travelers per sailing on this listing. Bring your own drinks.www.viator.comBeanbags Over the Water at the Bow
A trimaran has three hulls, and on this one the open space between the bows is strung with trampoline netting. The operator's pitch is a boat that stays steady, with no awkward tilting, and one traveler sailing soon after foot surgery found it stable and smooth.
Travelers describe beanbags and lawn chairs on deck and a big speaker for music. One who went out at sunset gave simple advice: "Grab a beanbag and sit on one of the trampolines at the front." The nets sit right over the water.
The listing ticks boxes for all fitness levels, strollers and service animals. The operator's FAQ welcomes small children with life jackets, and its site says nothing about wheelchair access, so use the special-requirements box when you book if anyone needs help getting aboard.
The Wind Decides Whether the Sails Go Up
The listing's route is the creeks and rivers around the island at a relaxed pace, with an eye out for dolphins, pelicans and ospreys. Dolphins appear in many traveler accounts, and some describe the captain turning or stopping the boat so they could get a closer look. A couple of sunset travelers saw none.
Sailing depends on the day. On a windless day the sails may not go up at all. One traveler on a calm morning wrote that there was no wind to put up the sails. The operator says it usually keeps to calmer waters, and it suggests motion-sickness medicine for anyone sensitive.
Meet at the Picnic Table, and Think About a Rideshare
📍 The meeting point is Savannah Marina, at 606 Wilmington Island Road in Savannah. Be at the picnic table 15 minutes before departure, and expect limited parking. The listing itself says rideshare is preferred, and a traveler who sailed in October 2025 gave the same advice.
The operator describes its dock as about halfway between downtown Savannah and Tybee. Until 2021 the marina was Sail Harbor Boatyard & Marina.
Wednesday to Sunday, at Hours That Follow the Light
The listing sails Wednesday through Sunday only. Departure times shift with the season: when the calendar was checked on October 10, 2026, October sailings left at noon, 3:00 PM and 5:30 PM, and November to February sailings at noon and 4:00 PM. Travelers on the later departures describe watching the sunset from the water, and one wrote that the sailing time was adjusted to catch it.
Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund; inside 24 hours there is no refund. The listing lets the operator cancel for bad weather, and two travelers describe being moved to another sailing when rain came in. Winter evenings on the water can turn cold, and travelers mention blankets handed out on board.
Bring your own drinks and pick them up on the way, since the marina's own store is still listed as coming soon. The operator says it provides a large cooler with ice and bottled water, and the boat has one toilet. The operator's FAQ suggests beach clothes, a hat and sunscreen, and says shoes are not needed once you are aboard. Swimming is not part of a two-hour sail; the operator's FAQ offers it only on longer trips.
The operator is Tyler and Lauren's business, and its site describes Tyler as a 100-ton master captain. Most reviews name him at the helm, though a September 2026 review names a different captain and a deckhand, so the skipper can vary. Tips are optional, and the operator puts the usual range at 15 to 20 percent, in cash or Venmo. Then it is two hours on the water, drink in hand, watching the marsh go by.
