Fun, friendly, beautiful cruise - We had a wonderful time on this cruise! The captain and crew were courteous, informative, and fun. I believe they and the dogs set a tone for all the passengers to share the experience, and it was just lovely! We were celebrating my daughter's 28th birthday, and they included the birthday song as one of the music selections. A couple near us were celebrating their anniversary, and another couple shared that they had just gotten married! Especially after a couple of free drinks, we were all feeling festive, chatting and singing along with the songs. They had each group pose for photos at the front of the boat, so we have a nice memory of the evening.

Making the best of it! - We enjoyed a smooth, lovely “sunset” cruise without the sunset. Captain Summer and Evelyn did a great job keeping everything light and entertaining despite the poor weather. The cruise was easy to take and all enjoyed a calm, relaxing evening.

Sunset cruise in wilmington - My wife and I had a blast! I surprised her with a sunset cruise for her birthday. Not knowing what to expect, our unknowns were quickly met with the assurance of a wonderful time! Our guide made the trip really enjoyable, as she was very knowledgeable about the area and history of Motts!! She also had drinks for all the guest which she didn't have to do. Our skipper was very nice and laid back. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who is looking for a fun time! I only wish I had more cash on hand for the tip!
