Ashley’s Adventures: Wilmington Water Tours


WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – Whether you’re a local or a tourist, if you want to get to know the Port City a little better, look no further than Wilmington Water Tours!

For as little as $10, you can tour historic downtown Wilmington and the Cape Fear River by catamaran.

Wondering what to expect?

“You never know what to expect. We try to mix it up a lot and we try to do so many different tours,” said Captain Doug Springer.

All the tours start at the River Walk, but the destinations and experience vary.

The Eagle Island Tour runs most frequently. With two destinations, it offers both fun history and beautiful scenery.

The Sunset Cruise is an owner favorite. For 90 minutes, watch the sun set over the Cape Fear River with live music and a cocktail.

For the kids? Pirate School! Every Monday set sail with Captain NoBeard and learn how to be a real life pirate.

While popular with tourists and newcomers, owners say the tours are for everyone.

“Our best guests are ones that have lived here their whole lives and who have not been on the river and they seem just be totally blown away by what they’ve learned.”
