Daily Eagles Island Cruises

Tour the Historic Wilmington Cape Fear Area

Enjoy a relaxing ride on the river on our comfortable enclosed, motorized catamaran with 360° views. Take it all in as you learn more about Wilmington, NC from our friendly captain and crew. Gain a new perspective on our history and ecology as we share fun facts and historical anecdotes as we cruise along the Cape Fear River. Enjoy views of unspoiled nature and a variety of wildlife. We do have a unisex restroom on board and a full bar with snacks and refreshments for all ages.

Choose between two different routes, each offering a unique perspective on Wilmington’s history and ecology.

On the even hours, we cruise north along the Historic Downtown and Eagles Island, where you see the past come alive. Capture unique views of the Battleship, learn about rice plantations, and view shipwrecks, flora, and fauna on this 50-minute adventure.

On the odd hours, we head south under the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge to the State Ports and learn the history of a WWII Wilmington shipyard along with current facts while watching tug boats, container ships, and pleasure boats. Bring your camera along; there are photo ops in every direction!

AND, if 50 minutes isn’t enough and you want to stay on for both tours, let our office staff know or the captain and we will arrange that for you!
