  Great Captain, Cool Sights

  The captain was fantastic, very laid-back and knowledgeable. Don't miss the chance to watch any ships arriving; it's really interesting to see the docking process.

  Great sunset cruise

  It was a fantastic evening spent on the waters near Wilmington. Oliver, our tour guide, was excellent—very informative and knowledgeable, and he knew the perfect spot for an amazing sunset. I highly recommend this experience.

  Afternoon Sailing Fun

  Captain Oliver provided an excellent experience. We had a lovely, relaxing afternoon on the sail, with my husband even taking a turn at the helm. If you enjoy being on the water and want a unique view of Wilmington, this adventure is highly recommended. I would rate it a perfect ten.

  We had a great afternoon...

  We enjoyed a fantastic afternoon on the water with Captain Oliver. His expertise was impressive, and he even allowed my daughter to take the wheel! We will absolutely book again.

  Truly a memorable sailing experience

  We had an unforgettable time with Captain Oliver celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary. His extensive knowledge of the sailing area made the evening special. He allowed my husband, John, to steer the sailboat while he hoisted the sails, and I also got to help out. We enjoyed our own bottle of wine, and when it got chilly, he provided a warm blanket. The music was wonderful as we cruised along the river, taking in a beautiful sunset. The return trip with the lights shining along the Cape Fear River was the perfect conclusion to a wonderful night. I highly recommend Captain Oliver for a memorable sailing adventure.

  Spontaneous Best Decision We Made

  Booking this cruise as a surprise for my family was the best decision we made during our trip. Captain Oliver was fantastic with our 9 and 6-year-old kids, letting them take the helm and helping hoist the sails. They thoroughly enjoyed every moment. While they played captain, my husband and I relaxed with some wine, which was invaluable. This experience truly made our trip unforgettable. We would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks to Captain Oliver for creating such a special memory.

  Relaxing with wind and sails

  Oliver is an outstanding and friendly guide. Hearing about his experiences was fascinating. The sailing itself was quite relaxing, offering views of historical sites like railroad remnants, steamboat wreckage, and the lovely landscape that used to be rice fields.

  Mother/daughter first sailing experience

  My daughter and I enjoyed a mother/daughter getaway to Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach, NC, where sailing with Oliver became one of the trip's highlights. I had the chance to steer the boat while my daughter helped with the sail line adjustments. The ride was soothing, and Oliver was a delightful guide, ensuring our first sailing experience was completely stress-free.
