We’re women on a mission!

The Lowcountry is known for its natural beauty. The marshes, long docks, winding creeks and rivers are nothing short of mesmerizing. Savannah’s waterways are one of the most spectacular aspects of the city’s beauty and charm and yet most visitors to our historic downtown rarely have the opportunity to explore the waterways. Joyride Boat Club was born from our desire to provide an eco-friendly, elevated, and leisurely way to experience the natural beauty of Savannah.

Meet the Team!

  • Co-Founder & Co-CEO

    Originally from Michigan, Allison has always found happiness being on the water. On a whim in 2023, Allison, her husband Joel, and their two dogs, Pennie & Pip, moved from Nashville, TN to Savannah, GA leaving her corporate legal position behind.  Feeling instantly at home under the spanish moss covered trees in the European-style city, she wanted to create something special for the community, and through friendship with business partner Audra DiPadova, Joyride Boat Club was born! 

    When she’s not connecting with guests and curating their charters, you can find her reading a book on the beach or taking the dogs for a walk.  She also enjoys traveling and checking out new Savannah food scenes whenever she can.

  • Co-Founder & Co-CEO

    Audra is a passionate serial entrepreneur, dedicated nonprofit founder, and former chef. She discovered her love for the charming city of Savannah in 2019 and made the decision to move with her family to this vibrant area in 2021. Audra and her husband, Justin, are proud parents to two amazing teenage kids and are also the caretakers of two beloved dogs.

    In co-founding Joyride Boat Club alongside Allison, Audra realized a long-held dream she held for years—to bring these stunning electric boats to the picturesque waterways of Savannah. This vision reflects her passion for creating unforgettable experiences for others in this beautiful setting.

  • Lead Captain

    As a Georgia native, Taryn has been calling Tybee Island and Savannah home for the past 9 years. Her infatuation with the marsh scenes and the ever-changing tidal waters compelled her to turn a passion of navigating the waters into a career. After the support and encouragement of her community, she received her captains license in 2022 and now shares her knowledge and passion of all things low country with anyone who will listen. 

    If she's not working on a project for her sailboat, you can catch her cruising the rivers in her dinghy searching for megalodon teeth and gushing over Roseate Spoonbills!
