We had a wonderful time on our 1 hour tour on the Cape Fear River. The Captain & First Mate were very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the river and surrounding area. It was packed with interesting stories and information. We recommend anyone enjoying the tour while visiting downtown Wilmington, NC.

The entire staff was wonderful. We had the entire boat to ourselves for my moms birthday and they made it so special, even with the rain. Holly was an awesome bartender and Captain Patrick was real easy to talk with. But what really made it was Owen, the speaker. He was funny, knowledgeable, and had a customer service smile that made us all feel so welcome. We have come here every year and will be back in the future for sure!

We had a great time. Dr. Fonville was wonderful! Please let us know when the 2025 schedule is set. Also enjoyed the funny exchanges between the Captain and Fonville!

Very informative and interesting tour. Hospitality was great! Looking forward to taking more Wilmington Water Tours.

The musicians were fabulous and the crew was very professional and friendly. The tour was very enjoyable.

Enjoyed amazing smoothies! Pina Colado is vegan and off the charts! Friendly helpful staff as well! Beautiful view of river, bridge and fantastic river walk!

The staff was incredible and the music was great. We went at sunset on the night of our anniversary and is was perfect!

Wilmington Water Tours truly made our weekend in Wilmington incredible. We booked a sunset cruise for my sister’s bachelorette party with 10 people and they were so accommodating, kind, and the cruise was SO FUN! Everyone raved about it for weeks after. We will definitely be back as soon as possible!!

We loved our sunset cruise on the river. It was my wife's birthday, and the perfect way to end the day after a dinner in town. The guitar player was excellent, not too loud, good selection of songs. We had a couple of drinks and enjoyed our relaxing night.

Captain Patrick is so welcoming and knowledgeable about the natural and social history of the area. The crew too are very hospitable with a well stocked bar and snacks. Plus the company is a local leader supporting those in need during severe weather.

Captain Patrick is so welcoming and knowledgeable about the natural history and social history of the area and the modern day conditions of the river, the Port and shipping, and the city. The crew also are very hospitable with a well stocked bar and snacks. Wilmington Water Tours supports all those impacted by severe weather also!

It was OK nothing special. Narration was kind of boring. It was just someone stating facts, we are more used to these tours being a little humorous.

The crew was great! They interacted well with the guests on board. The trip was just long enough to enjoy the ride and get an idea of the history of the river.

We recently took the North cruise on Eagles Island and had a wonderful time. The 50-minute narrated boat cruise was both informative and relaxing. Our captain and first mate shared fascinating stories about the area, making the cruise enjoyable for the whole family. While the cruise was relatively short, it was a great way to see the local sights and learn about the area's history. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.

Nice, easy-going time motoring on the river. The Captain and crew were fun to listen to (and talk to!)...and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
