5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. The young lady who was our host was most pleasant and gave us a lot of great information about Wrightsville Beach and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the dolphins stayed hidden.

4.00A beautiful cruise in a place that's hard to drive through. You see gorgeous mansions and intercoastal waterways. The narrator could have spoken more, but he answered all questions well.
Family friendly!

5.00Very relaxing boat ride around Wrightsville. The guides were very safe, included the children, and gave little fun facts during our ride. Great tour for our big family of children and seniors.
Very good but not great

4.00We actually did not get to see the sunset on the board. The cruise stopped several minutes before the sun dipped below the horizon, which was disappointing. Also, they need to use the PA when the crew is speaking. Only the captain could be heard. I also would have enjoyed the cruise more if it had spent more time in nature and less looking at outrageously expensive homes. Having said this, the crew was personable, kind, and very engaging. The boat was clean. It's was a very good experience but it could have been great with a little tweaking.
Did not go

1.00Storms can deter going - thunderstorms moved into area and we did not come because of danger on water.
Beautiful

5.00Beautiful experience. The views and the value were great. Only thing was we had some confusion at the meeting place though it was the correct address. Perhaps a small sign or something to indicate it is correct would help. Captain and crew were very nice and it was very relaxing. Small enough to be personal as well.
Awesome fun! Captain Cam...
