Capt’n Bill’s celebrates 34 years in Wilmington with anniversary volleyball tournament

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) – Capt’n Bill’s Backyard Grill is excited to mark 34 years of great food, fun, and meaningful community involvement with a special anniversary celebration on Saturday, March 7th at Capt’n Bill’s Backyard Grill & Volleyball Facility in Wilmington.
Established in 1992 and proudly owned and operated by the Musser Family, Capt’n Bill’s started as a neighborhood restaurant and bar featuring four sand volleyball courts. Over the past three decades, it has evolved into a Wilmington favorite, now offering a full-service restaurant, bar, brewery, and twelve sand volleyball courts — earning its reputation as one of the region’s top destinations for beach volleyball and community events.
Beyond dining and recreation, Capt’n Bill’s has built strong ties within the Wilmington community. Working alongside the vibrant local volleyball community, the Musser Family has contributed more than $1,000,000 to local charities, supporting numerous organizations and initiatives across the Cape Fear region.
“We’ve always believed that volleyball brings people together,” said the Musser Family. “The friendships, families, and community that have grown here over the last 34 years are what make Capt’n Bill’s truly special.”
The 34th Anniversary Celebration will feature a charity volleyball tournament with proceeds benefiting Happy and Sunshine Pig Sanctuary.
Volleyball Team Check-In is at 10:30 AM
In addition to competitive volleyball action, guests can enjoy a vibrant vendor lineup including DonutNV, Vicki Paints, KidStrong ILM, Cape Fear Chiropractic, and Girl Scouts
Capt’n Bill’s continues to host adult volleyball leagues, youth volleyball programs, and charity tournaments year-round — cultivating a multi-generational volleyball community in Wilmington. Community members, past players, families, and friends are invited to come celebrate 34 years of memories, competition, and giving back.
