Sailing Adventure - Captain Jim was an excellent guide! He was well prepared and provided many details along our tour. The sailing was wonderful, and we saw several dolphins and other wildlife. I would definitely recommend Shamrock Sailing Adventures if you are in the Wilmington area!

Great experience! Highly recommend! - You can't beat sailing in such a beautiful spot in NC even on a December day. The booking process was super easy, and Jim was very communicative about weather updates and parking directions. He also had so much knowledge of sailing and of the NC coast. We really enjoyed chatting with Jim and meeting the other couple onboard, and we had plenty of time to ourselves to enjoy the view, too. I would highly recommend — perfect, relaxing afternoon activity.

NA - Was a very nice trip and afternoon. The only thing better would have been if we could have used the sails. Very informative guide and enjoyed him very much. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
