About
- Savannah is known the world over for hosting America’s second largest St Patrick’s Day celebration with over three hundred and fifty thousand revelers. This year promises to be even bigger and better. The parade kicks off at 10:15 AM and the party will go on into the night. Savannah and especially River Street is the place to be for food, fun, live entertainment, and a bit of the green.
Leave The Driving To Us

With so many people streaming into the city driving and parking is always a challenge. Most visitors end up parking at one of the satellite lots on the outskirts of the city and riding public transportation into the historic district and then stopping at checkpoints during their drive home. Vagabond Cruise offers a great alternative; leave the driving to us. Our fast, approximately 1 hour 45-minute, cruise aboard the heated and air-conditioned passenger yacht The Spirit of Harbour Town will take you there and back in comfort and style. During the cruise our full-service bar will be open with your favorite beverages as well as snacks. We’ll have plenty of Irish Whiskey and Bailey’s to go with your coffee! Clean and comfortable restrooms are available for your convenience.
