<h2>History Buffs Dream Cruise!</h2>
Set sail through centuries of history on this immersive cruise led by acclaimed historian Dr. Chris Fonvielle. Each month, Dr. Fonvielle explores a different era of Wilmington and Cape Fear’s fascinating past — from early European exploration to the rise of the port city, to the dramatic battles and blockades of the Civil War.

Whether you’re a lifelong history buff or just curious about the forces that shaped this region, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn while enjoying a relaxing, scenic cruise. Topics rotate monthly, so every trip offers a new perspective on Wilmington’s place in American history.&nbsp; &nbsp; Our boat, The Wilmington, has comfortable seating for up to 49 passengers, refreshments for all ages at the bar and a restroom on board. This is a 2 hour cruise $45 adults, $25 children. Boarding is 15 minutes prior to departure.

Wilmington Water Tours

Join us as we head up the Northeast Cape Fear River to the upper
reaches of the black water system of this storied river. An ideal way to spend
a Saturday morning relaxing while Captain Doug Springer shares his extensive knowledge
about the river, its history and the beautiful scenery. The Northeast Cape
Fear River is still largely unpopulated and looks much as it did when
Wilmington was colonized in the late 1600s. We will cruise through the
Castle Hayne Aquifer and by the bluffs of the Rose Hill Plantation.
Visit our full bar for a freshly brewed cup of coffee or for the
best Bloody Mary on the river. 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, even dolphin, just to name a
few. Bring your camera to capture the untouched beauty of this early morning
almost 2 hour adventure.
Get to know our river better on this specialty cruise which is
offered on the first Saturday of each month. This is a great adventure for
families and children. $30. Boarding 15 minutes prior.
