It was a beautiful day. I had never been to Wilmington before. We decided to do the boat tour so we could see the city from the water. There were not many people on the tour, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was wonderful. The crew was friendly, helpful, and informative. I would recommend this tour for anyone.

Captain was very nice and personable, but the tour was lame. There was nothing to see and little to talk about. I would say this is a waist of money.

Glad to know you recognized the personality of our Captain. As an owner we are proud to have wonderful, positive employees who love sharing information about the area including Historic Wilmington, 2 mile long riverwalk voted USA #1 riverwalk, Cape Fear River, State Ports and much more. So sorry to know your expectations weren't met. ~ Diane

Pleasant. Friendly. Worthwhile. Won’t blow your mind. But it’s nice. Good info on the narration. Makes you appreciate Wilmington and history a bit more. And it is near some good food spots.

Thanks for spending time cruising with us on one of our Eagles Island Cruises. We offer so many other cruises, you may consider our Sunset Cruise with live music. Sunsets over the river often spotlight mind blowing colors then returning to downtown Wilmington with the lights of the city sparkling is an experience. Thank you for your review!
