Standing at the edge of the Atlantic coast in Savannah, Georgia, Sail Savannah offers an authentic gateway to waterfront adventure anchored in history and natural wonder. This coastal city, known for its historic charm and sprawling marshes, reveals a new vantage point from the deck of a classic sailboat, where the breeze carries the scent of salt and the water glimmers with the dance of dolphins.
Whether you’re aiming to learn the ropes or simply soak in the Low Country’s unique scenery, Sail Savannah provides a range of sailing experiences perfect for all skill levels. Their ASA-certified courses—Basic Keelboat Sailing (ASA 101) and Basic Coastal Cruising (ASA 103)—empower newcomers with hands-on instruction and confidence under sail, while private charters and catamaran trips serve up personalized journeys tailored to celebration or relaxation. One popular choice, the BACH Bubbly Charter, combines scenic sails with a festive touch, making it ideal for special occasions.
What stands out most about Sail Savannah is their blend of expert instruction and genuine hospitality. Captains like Ed and Andrew offer not only safe command of the vessel but attentive storytelling that connects passengers with Savannah’s waterways, coastal wildlife, and landmarks such as historic Fort Pulaski and the expansive salt marshes. The sight of playful dolphins cutting through the golden hues of sunset is a frequent and magical highlight.
The company’s commitment to accessibility ensures that all visitors, including those with mobility challenges, can experience the serenity of the harbor without compromise. Their knowledgeable crew foster a welcoming atmosphere, letting guests engage with the sails and lines or just relax with snacks and a cold drink while cruising.
