Captain Jim and his wife provided a warm, genuine atmosphere with their boat hospitality!! Not only was Jim very knowledgeable about the history of the beach, he took the time to educate us about the boat, beach environment, and animals! His wife and I connected on many things and me and my fiance' were blown away by their warming spirits! Not only that, but we got engaged after the boat ride, which Mr. Jim so kindly help my fiance' set up! Truly a GREAT experience!

We arrived a bit early for our sail with Captain Jim. He had us wait in the lower, SHADED, area of the local clubhouse of the marina. It was a pleasant and short wait. Captain Jim is an excellent communicator and conversationalist which always makes adventures like these enjoyable for everyone. We boarded his sailboat which is beautiful and very well taken care of. As it turned out, we were the only ones who planned to sail that afternoon so our little family of 3 had a personalized sail! How fun! Captain Jim put out a beautiful buffet of yummy treats. Our 8 year old particularly enjoyed the peach salsa so she traveled below deck several times. Captain Jim knows the area extremely well having grown up here and raised his family here. He knows the wildlife as well - providing binoculars for everyone and pointing out birdlife as we traveled. Our favorite part of the adventure was taking the ship out near the opening to the ocean and feeling the current and waves in that area. The experience was humbling! We set the sails after heading back into the waterway and spent a long time just sailing...what an experience! None of us had been on a sailboat before! We will definitely do this again with Captain Jim. Fantastic experience!!!

The Shamrock is a lovely vessel, and Capt. Jim is a really great guy ...very knowledgable about sailing and the Wilmington area. Our party of six enjoyed the sunset cruise immensely. We were out over 2-hours, but the time flew by because we were all enjoying the sights, including Cape Fear. Highly recommended!
