    Sunset cruise Cape Fear River

    Lovely evening sunset cruise— friendly people, everything went smoothly and relaxing to sit back and watch along the river and shore. Sunset wasn’t spectacular but it was beautiful anyway!

    The cruise was somewhat boring. As we were cruising and passing sights there was no commentary by the Captain. Strictly a cruise on the river.

    Awesome experience!

    Thanks for taking the time to write a 5 Star review! But especially taking the time to cruise with us! Our Sunsets can be pretty spectacular this time of year.

    Beautiful Sunset Cruise.

    This experience came with fun friendly staff who not only broke the ice but interacted throughout the ride. It was a rainy evening yet they made it fun and relaxing! Would do this cruise all day every day if we could! We will be back!
