Wilmington Water Tours LLC

So much fun!! It was my second time taking the Eagle Island tour… And I’d go again… Lots of great information, entertaining, and relaxing… Great crew… Loved it!

Informative and fun! Captain Thacker was personable and fun so was his crew! Forgot to bring cash :( wish i had remembered (they have a little tip box on board) . Not a huge time killer either so that was a huge bonus for our short weekend trip for a wedding in Wilmington.

Really enjoyed learning about the history (past and present) about the river. We were traveling from out of town so the entire experience was very educational and informative (I naively had no idea and he was so approachable and understanding/non judgmental). What I enjoyed most, is the absolute og legend of a tour guide, DOUG, who not only knows the ins and outs of the river like the back of his hand, but who genuinely cares for the river and the quality and conservation of the habitat surrounding it. His knowledge and genuine passion for the water was apparent and he made the entire experience even more fulfilling.

Great experience, learned a lot of history is such a short amount of time. Clean boat, entertaining Capt and crew!

We had such a wonderful experience with Wilmington Water Tours! Capt. Doug was fantastic—so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the Wilmington area, its history, and its natural conservation. His love for the river really came through and made the tour even more special. The crew was also so lovely and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The sunset views were stunning and created the perfect atmosphere. We highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Wilmington—it’s a memorable and relaxing way to experience downtown!

Captain Mike and his crew were very professional, polite and knowledgeable about the Cape Fear River! This was my husband and daughters first time on a boat and this water tour was a great place to start! We at first booked the North trip at 11 am but we wanted to see more so Carol assisted us while on the boat book the South trip at Noon, we got a nice discount for doing both trips! I highly recommend doing both trips on the water tour, there is sooooo much to see and learn! Thank you Captain Mike for allowing my daughter the opportunity to sit in the Captain’s seat, that’s all she spoke about on the ride home! We had such a good time!

Great 50-minute boat tour of the Cape Fear River! Very informative of the history of the area and river itself. Easy to get tickets and get on and off of the boat. Staff was super friendly. Few snacksnon board with a bar. The wife got a glass of their Rum punch. Said it was more punch than rum, buy tasty. Would definitely use them again and maybe a sunset cruise.

We recently took the North cruise on Eagles Island and had a wonderful time. The 50-minute narrated boat cruise was both informative and relaxing. Our captain and first mate shared fascinating stories about the area, making the cruise enjoyable for the whole family. While the cruise was relatively short, it was a great way to see the local sights and learn about the area's history. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.
