Wilmington Water Tours

The perfect blend of education and relaxation—ideal for locals wanting a fresh perspective or visitors looking to soak up Wilmington’s soul. This scenic 50 minute narrated cruise is very informative about the history and workings of the Cape Fear River and our historic waterfront in downtown Wilmington with close up views of the Battleship. Enjoy 360 degree views of unspoiled nature and a variety of wildlife daily while our Captain will delight you with anecdotes about the Cape Fear River and our historic town. The even hour cruises go North on the River and you see the historic riverfront and then some nature as we go up the Cape Fear River. The odd hour cruises go South to the State Port and you will learn some maritime history of the area. A full cash bar with snacks and refreshments for all ages is available onboard. You can also bring your own snacks if you wish (please, no drinks).

You can stay onboard for the next cruise and do both directions for $36. Just let the office or first mate know and they will hook you up with a ticket.
