We stayed here for 3 days. New Docks. Close to the ferry that brings you to downtown Savannah. The amenities were new and clean. Great personal touches. Staff was friendly and informative. A must stay marina.

Like many others here, I give the IGY Savannah Harbor Marina my highest accolades. They had the works: welcome gift bag, handwritten thank you note, and a little hand-made farewell gift.

Free coffee and tea in the marina office, located conveniently about 30' from the head of the dock.

The showers were spotless, well-lit, smelled nice, and for the first time in my experience, included a free towel service.

No nickle-and-diming here; the laundry was free, if a little small. Two washers, one working dryer. Apparently the needed part was on back-order.

If this marina has a downside, it's that literally everything to see is on the other side of the river. Mind you, there's a free ferry that runs every ten minutes and they will give you a free golf-cart ride to it, but it still complicates touring the city on foot.

The marina is also well-protected, with a big floating dock across the opening (except the fairway, of course). We felt very few waves, wakes, or winds.

The very best feature of IGY Savannah was the staff. We got absolute top-notch service from beginning to end. Leslie and Syndey in the office were great. The whole team was. They must have toted twenty Amazon packages to us, and looked after our cat when we had to go out of town for medical reasons.

When next we are in Savannah, we will be returning here.

Can I give them 10 stars??? This is the best marina we've stayed at by far, and also one of the least expensive by far. From the friendly staff to the welcome gift bag and handwritten thank you note to the spotless docks and truly amazing showers, this was a luxury stay at a budget price. It is well worth the diversion of the ICW. The ferry to historic Savannah is an easy walk or a ride in the complimentary golf cart. The far more expensive docks are exposed to the river traffic. Here you are secure, secluded in a peaceful setting. Highly recommend this marina!!

This is a beautiful brand new (in 2025) marina with heavy duty floating docks. Ther is gas and diesel available on the river and dockage on the river and in a well-protected lagoon.

The marina is located in a high end apartment development, beautifully landscaped. The heads and showers are luxurious and towels and washcloths are provided. The staff is very friendly and competent. It is surprisingly inexpensive for the quality.

To visit Savanna, they will take you in a golf cart to the stop for the free ferry that runs across the river every half hour.

We very much enjoyed our stay.

What a beautiful Marina, and the staff is so friendly. Brand new docks, brand new fuel dock. Very easy to get into the marina from the river with no current in the marina. We will definitely be back here again. Give them your business. They really appreciate it, and bend over backwards to make your stay pleasant. We really enjoyed our week here over the Fourth of July weekend.

Great brand new marina in the heart of Savannah. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Short walk to the free river ferry to go into historic Downtown Savannah.

We just wrapped up spending 2 weeks at IGY Savannah Harbor Marina. This is a brand new, upscale marina. At the time of this writing, the fuel dock was not in service but everything else was. This was hands down one of the nicest marinas we've ever stayed at. The facilities and amenities were top notch and the staff were amazing! With a short walk to the free and dog friendly ferries, you're in historic downtown Savannah in no time. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Savannah.
