The Savannah Belles Ferry is a series of four passenger ferries in Savannah, Georgia, United States, which run between Savannah's River Street (from City Hall or from Waving Girl Landing) and Hutchinson Island in the Savannah River. Established in 2000,[1] they are owned and operated by Chatham Area Transit (CAT), and run at no cost to the public. The ferries run between 7.00 AM and 10.00 PM, seven days a week.[2]
The vessels are named for four noteworthy women from Savannah's history: Juliette Gordon Low, Susie King Taylor, Florence Martus and Mary Musgrove.[2]
In both 2019 and 2020, CAT was awarded two grants from the Federal Transit Administration for a new ferries, increasing its total to six.[3]
In July 2023, CAT temporarily stopped calling at the Savannah Convention Center dock on Hutchinson Island, instead using the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa dock.[4]
Between 2001 and 2011, passenger boardings increased from 289,000 to 539,000. They operate 362 days a year (not on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving or New Year's), but cannot operate in fog or lightning.[1]
