We are moving our boat from the Tennessee River next spring and are looking for a safe & secure marina in the Savannah area.
Not looking for a transient marina, but a longer term one.
We will be 7 hours away so one that is well managed.
I appreciate your thoughts.

Tim:

I strongly recommend Isle of Hope Marina. Superb management, a wonderful setting, and within a ten to fifteen minute drive of DT Savannah. More details at:

Hope that is helpful. Good luck and good cruising!

We'd highly recommend Fort McAllister Marina on the Ogeechee River. It's
about 6 miles upstream from the ICW. It's located in the southwestern
side of Savannah near Richmond Hills (maybe it's even in Richmond
Hills). The rates are unbeatable for short or long term stays, rental
car facilities are close enough, there's an on-site restaurant, and the
staff is helpful. No courtesy car, but WTH! Making up for that, there's
very little boat traffic to create wakes, and no passing-in-the-night
barge traffic!

We've stayed there twice for a few days, and would go back in a heartbeat.

Check it out on Active Captain and SaltySE.

then a city  read the details on each marina, read the reviews from folks who have been there.
click on the marinas website link, and look at the satellite view of the marina.
