Island Global Yachting (IGY Marinas) has unveiled plans for a new marina in Savannah, Georgia, to be known as IGY Savannah Harbor Marina. Developed in collaboration with Savannah Harbor Partners, this destination is set to debut in the spring of 2025.
The new location will offer 100 berths accommodating vessels of all sizes, with over 1,000 linear feet dedicated to deep draft superyachts. Positioned just five miles from the Intracoastal Waterway and boasting unrestricted air draft and depth on the Savannah River, it's poised to become a prime stopover for both cruisers and transiting superyachts.
We are excited to be involved in this wonderful project and a catalyst of nautical tourism in this thriving area. The opportunity to develop and operate IGY Savannah Harbor Marina means we will deliver the highest levels of service to our global clientele in this incredible destination."

IGY Savannah Harbor Marina's prime location on Hutchinson Island grants easy access to downtown Savannah, just a short ferry ride across the river. It will provide panoramic views of the Savannah skyline and will be integrated into the Savannah Harbor mixed-use development, adjacent to the Savannah Convention Center and Westin Hotel.
Well known for its historic charm, Savannah draws visitors worldwide and has a rich maritime heritage, highlighted by the bustling Port of Savannah.
Positioned as a top tourism destination in the southeastern United States, Savannah provides easy access to vibrant cities like Charleston, South Carolina, and Jacksonville, Florida.
The area will feature various amenities, including a waterfront restaurant, Emma James apartments, a park, restaurants, and retail outlets. Additionally, the Club at Savannah Harbor golf course and spa are nearby. Travel convenience is enhanced by the proximity of Savannah International Airport and local FBOs, offering daily flights to numerous destinations in the US and Canada.
We are pleased to have an IGY Marina as part of the Savannah Harbor development. IGY Marinas is a global leader in the maritime community, and we welcome their expertise and brand recognition. The marina will be a focal point of the development and enhance the service offerings of this incomparable area."
