Captain Griffin’s note below is copied from the T&T (Trawlers and Trawlering) Mail List. She has certainly captured my thoughts on Isle of Hope Marina,but, of course, I’m prejudiced, as this facility is a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR!

I second the recommendation made by some, for Isle of Hope Marina just south of Savanna. I’ve stopped there more than once and was pleased. I’ve also stopped at Thunderbolt and the private marina on Skidaway Is through a friend who lives there. Of all I prefer Isle of Hope.
My Skidaway friend had an interesting comment re the Savanna area…saying the land curves west there which offers more protection from storms than say Hilton Head of Charleston.
I love the city of Savanna. I also love Hilton Head for a vacation, but it is pricy! I think personally, either Savanna or Charleston re more fun.

My wife and I are currently at the Isla of Hope Marina (11/26/09.) It is quiet, spotlessly clean and the staff is excellent. They have two courtesy cars (two hour limit) and there is a Walmart Super Center, a Sam’s Club and all sorts of other shopping within 4 miles of the marina. We went into Savannah yesterday on the local busline. A short walk to the bus stop and 50 minutes later, we were walking along the Savannah Waterfront. If you stay in Savannah after 3:45 pm, it’s a $22.00 cab ride from the waterfront to the marina parking lot. We highly recommend Isle of Hope Marina.
