Start your day on the water in search of wildlife and many of our feathered friends while listening to interesting commentary about the rich history of this area. This close to two-hour 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. We have refreshments and snacks for all ages.

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.

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.
