CHEERS! Brew boat comes to Cape Fear River

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — If you’ve walked the streets of the Port City, you may have seen a pedal pub filled with people looking to exercise while they indulge in some spirits. Now, you can take the same kind of fun out on the Cape Fear River.

The East Coast BrewBoat is docked at Port City Marina and costs $35 per person for a trip on the water. You can book up to 15 people and the boat operates from Wednesday through Sunday.

You’ll have to BYOB if you want to drink while you pedal, but a koozie is provided.

Eileen Pye is the captain of the boat and she says the reaction has been positive in the week since the boat first set sail.

“It’s a fun thing to do for people to get out, they can have a few drinks on the boat, they get a little exercise in, they’re on the water. I’m the responsible one so it’s a good time for everybody, I think,” Pye said.

Charlie and Chrissy Mize are the owners. This is their second BrewBoat, the first operates in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
