We had a large group that did this tour to cap off a conference, it was a great tour. It was a comfortable ride (even at 90 degrees out) with the perfect combination of information, scenery, and time to relax. I really enjoyed learning about this land I had driven over so many times and seeing it from a new perspective. Highly recommend!

So glad to know you enjoyed the private charter cruise as much as we enjoyed creating the cruise event for you and your conference goers. Capt. Doug loves talking about the ecology & history of the lower Cape Fear Region. Glad to know you left the cruise with a new perspective. Hope you have the opportunity to visit us again on one of our daily cruises. Best, Diane

We came to Wilmington Water Tours from Oak Island, NC to check out the sunset cruise! We had a great time. We really loved the on boat bar. The live acoustic music was great! We liked that you could individually tip each service. It was a good time for family or parents.

Thanks for Cruising with us on our Sunset Cruise with live music. We are so fortunate to have many talented musicians play onboard. Everyone loves our frosty cold beverages on a hot summer day. What better way to kick back and relax... We appreciate your review! Best, Diane
