Restaurant Recommendation at Fort McAllister Marina (off the AICW, on Ogeechee River, at St. M. 603.5)
Captain Gaffney telephoned the SSECN offices a few weeks ago, and asked for marina advice in the Savannah, Georgia region. We suggested he check out Isle of Hope, Fort McAllister and Thunderbolt Marinas. While he seems to have found a new home at Isle of Hope, it’s good to see Captain Gaffney was also impressed with Fish Tales restaurant at SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, Fort McAllister Marina.
As for Tim’s comments about the strong currents at Fort McAllister, welcome to the Georgia coastline. These swiftly moving waters are SOP for the entire stretch from southern SC to northern Florida.
Good afternoon.
Hope you and your better half are well!
I got your latest news briefing and it reminded me that I had not reported back from last weeks investigative trip to Savannah. Well we were all over!
We were treated so well by everybody from John Henson or Hanson, the manager at West Marine, who echoed your thoughts on Marinas. To Chris and Rick at Isle of Hope. To the folks at Fish Tales, the restaurant at Ft. McAllister.
We were amazed at the flow of current at Ft.McAllister and even stronger at Savannah yacht club. Looked to be 3 or 4 knots! We are use to zero on the Tennessee. 🙂
We did not talk to the owner at Ft.McAllister as it was just not what we wanted for a long term home. But for a short term look good. We thought the restaurant was good. It really does seem to cater to the fishing crowd.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Now, we just have to make the arrangements to truck the boat there early next year.
