Savannah launches nation's first waterjet hybrid ferries with public celebration
HUTCHINSON ISLAND, Ga. (WSAV) – Savannah is making waves – literally – with a groundbreaking addition to its waterfront. Chatham Area Transit is rolling out the nation's first waterjet hybrid ferries. The new additions promise a greener, smoother ride for locals and visitors alike. You've probably taken a ferry ride in Savannah before – but not like the one that Savannah now offers. For the first time in U.S. History, waterjet hybrid ferries are entering public service – and CAT is launching them right here in Savannah. The Juliette Gordon Low II and Susie King Taylor II are the newest additions to the Savannah Belles Ferry Fleet – and they're making history. These are the first in the country to feature waterjet hybrid technology, which combines diesel-powered generators with large lithium-ion batteries for quiet and efficient travel. The boats have been running since January of this year, but CAT was waiting to celebrate until they knew all the kinks were fixed and were running smoothly. They told WSAV that today is now the day to officially celebrate this launch. After nearly five years bringing this project to life, each ferry costs around $5.5 million. The ferries improve passenger comfort while reducing fuel use and emissions. The launch also marks the completion of the newly restored seawall… a key piece of riverfront infrastructure. CAT officials hope Savannah's example sets a new standard for cities across the country. 'These vessels were a long time in the making, many years from concept to design, to build and to gather the funding to get these vessels. So, we're just really excited to be able to introduce it to all of Savannah,' said John Allen, the Director of Marine Services for Chatham Area Transit. This afternoon, local leaders and the public are welcome to celebrate the launch of the new ferries. The event begins with a ribbon-cutting at City Hall Landing, followed by a ferry cruise to the Savannah Convention Center. Public celebration today, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. City Hall Landing and Trade Center Landing Nation's 1st Waterjet Hybrid Ferries $5.5M Each, 4–5 Years in the Making Quieter, Cleaner, More Efficient Rides This marks a major step forward in green public transit. The ferry fleet is now growing to 6 boats, just in time for the new convention center. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Jekyll Island revitalizes historic district
JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (WSAV) — Historic Pier Road on Jekyll Island is ready for its closeup. The Jekyll Island Authority has announced the opening of The District Shops. This shopping and dining destination in the heart of the Jekyll Island National Historic Landmark District was nearly two years in the making. It features eight new places for visitors and locals to shop, sip and savor everything Jekyll has to offer. During its 'gilded age,' the area was originally home to buildings and trade shops. With improvements to landscaping, lighting and outdoor gathering areas — all while retaining the original architectural character — The District Shops will be a huge tourism draw. Mark Williams, Executive Director of the Jekyll Island Authority, says they are excited to see the new changes bring the area back to its heyday. 'This project reflects our continued commitment to preserving Jekyll Island's historic character while enhancing the experience for visitors and residents. It's a thoughtful balance of preservation and progress, designed to serve the community and honor the spirit of this special island. Pier Road has long been a hub for connection and discovery, and we're proud to carry that legacy forward with The District Shops.' Set against a picturesque backdrop of grand live oaks draped in Spanish moss, you'll find the following places to enjoy at the District Shops at Historic Pier Road: 31•81, a Jekyll Island Lifestyle Shop inspired by the island's coastal coordinates – approximately 31.0735° N, 81.4114° W – offering a curated collection inspired by the barrier island itself and featuring brands such as Southern Tide, Comfort Colors, Smathers & Branson, Lilly Pulitzer, and Dune Jewelry. Founder's Social provides a casual yet historically inspired setting for guests to enjoy casual fair, Georgia craft beer, and outdoor seating in a shaded beer garden. Georgia Grown Signature Shoppe, developed in partnership with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, highlights locally sourced products that showcase the state's agricultural legacy, craftspeople, and tradition. J.P. & Company, a Gilded Age Portrait Studio, invites guests to don period costumes and participate in portrait experiences evocative of the island's golden era. Jekyll Island Sweets features handmade confections, candy-making demonstrations, and a variety of seasonal ice cream flavors in an old-fashioned candy shop setting. North Pole South specializes in Christmas ornaments and gifts, offering coastal-inspired keepsakes for year-round holiday shopping. Pier Road Outfitters is stocked with essentials for outdoor exploration while on Jekyll Island, from biking along its 24-miles of paths to sunbathing along its pristine shores. Wake Up Coffee Company, a local favorite, serves handcrafted coffee beverages and freshly baked goods. Stop by on June 7 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for their grand opening celebration. You can enjoy live music and family-friendly entertainment. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
