The Perfect Morning Adventure!
Start your day on the water in search of wildlife and many of our feathered friends while Captain Doug Spring shares his vast knowledge about the rich history of this area. This 90 minute cruise is a rewarding experience as you learn about Wilmington and our precious wildlife while enjoying a peaceful morning ride on our safe and relaxing catamaran. Visit our full bar for a freshly brewed cup of coffee or for the best Bloody Mary on the river.
The Northeast Cape Fear River is still largely unpopulated and looks much as it did when Wilmington was colonized in the late 1600s. We cruise through the Castle Hayne Aquifer and by the bluffs of the Rose Hill Plantation.
This excursion is comfortable and inspirational. Photographers, birders, and nature buffs love the variety of wildlife and native plants that adorn the river banks. You may possibly see osprey, alligators, sea turtles, and river otters, just to name a few. Bring your camera to capture the untouched beauty of this early morning adventure. This cruise is on the first Saturday of the month May through October (excluding July 4)
This is a 90 minute cruise $30. Boarding is 15 minutes prior to departure.
