Report on Visiting Downtown Savannah, GA, Savannah River, off the AICW
A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, the Savannah Hyatt Hotel is in the very center of activity on the Savannah waterfront, as affirmed by Cap’n Parky. River Street Market Place Dock is a few steps farther downstream on the Waterfront.
Here’s the up to date situation (Nov 2015) of visiting Savannah, some 6 miles or so up river from the ICW. Firstly the downtown public dock is now closed to boats of any size – I have no idea why. [See Mike Ahart’s comment below] The Market Landing marina [River Street Market Place Dock] is $3 per ft per night but the best deal is at the Hyatt Marina. $2.75 per ft transient [see Dockmaster’s comment below] but you get all the hotel’s excellent facilities – solid floating dock, 30/50amp power, impeccably clean restrooms, showers, exercise room, indoor swimming pool (with free towels), coffee shop and excellent (though pricey) restaurant. Next door on Rivers Street, try the roof top bar and grill of the Bohemian Hotel for a great sunset view of the Savannah River. Well worth a visit – Five Star Rating

As for the downtown public dock (John P. Rousakis Riverfront Plaza City Docks), according to Shawn in the city office, only half of the dock had been closed to the public but as of Friday, Nov. 6, the whole dock is open to the public.
Hello Boaters: Just wanted to make a slight correction here, we are also $3.00 a foot per night during the summer boating season. However we offer the US Boat discount to members for $2.25 per foot. Our fall and winter rates are adjustable so come and see us. Our facilities are top notch and the amenties to our boaters can’t be beat. Thanks for choosing Hyatt.
