Historic paddle-wheel riverboat dining and event cruises in Savannah
Savannah Riverboat Cruises operates two large passenger vessels—the New Savannah River Queen (600 capacity) and the Georgia Queen (1,000+ capacity)—for dining cruises and private events along the Savannah River. The tech stack is standard SMB operations: Office, Teams, Zoom, and payroll systems (ADP, Paycor), with marketing efforts split across email and social channels. The hiring mix reflects a small-to-mid-size hospitality operator scaling sales and HR roles while managing high-volume recruiting and vessel maintenance as ongoing operational pressure points.
