While we were in town to tour the USS North Carolina, we decided to do this ride. We loved it. Very informative and a good length for the money.

My 5 and 6 yo daughters went on a warm day in May. We did the lunch cruise. True, there is not much to see. There are a lot of ship yards and such. Not overly beautiful once you leave downtown. The lunch was pretty good but very basic. Salad, rolls, ham, turkey and roast beef sandwiches on white or... More

The Henrietta III is a gorgeous riverboat. We went for a 90 minute afternoon cruise. I rated the cruise average because there really wasn't a whole lot to see besides shipyard docks. Not sure what I was expecting.

But if one is looking for a means of transportation and relaxation that Scarlet and Rhett took advantage of, then the Henrrietta is as close as you can come around these parts.

This boat tour of the lower Cape Fear River was very well done and information was interesting. Our tour was 1.5 hrs. with narration about buildings and items of interest on both river banks. Suitable for all ages altho small children may get bored. Accommodations available for older/disabled persons.

Went for a dinner cruise with my employer and it was the best way to enjoy Wilmington's Cape Fear River! The staff on board was great, the music flowed all night long, and the sights were the best! It was a nice way to enjoy a Christmas party!

We went as guest to a wedding in March 2012, and also on our honeymoon in April 2010. Both times were 2 different experiences on the boat itself but both times were lots of fun!

I want to encourage everyone to take some time and enjoy a cruise on the Henrietta III in downtown Wilmington, NC. I recently moved to this area and have friends that visit off and on during the year. I have made the Henrietta III a must have stop while they are in town. They offer such a variety of cruises...
