Seventeen years ago, moved by their love for the Cape Fear River, the owners created Wilmington Water Tours in order to share with others the history and beauty of this region. Their passion then created “The Wilmington,” a state-of-the-art, fully enclosed and handicapped accessible motorized catamaran, which can accommodate up to 49 passengers. They have also been awarded the Trip Advisor Travelers Choice Award for 15 years in a row. Wilmington Water Tours is based in Historic Downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. They are the only locally, family owned water tour downtown. "We are here to serve the city and the exciting, always changing riverfront. We offer daily narrated cruises and private charters." Passengers board the vessel to explore the waters of the mysterious Cape Fear River, while also learning about the history, wildlife, and ecology of this waterway and surrounding area. Come downtown and visit us… take a cruise on the Cat. Guaranteed it makes for a great time on the river!
