Fun Memories

Deanna_K, Apr 2024

We did not see a sunset due to the clouds. However, we saw dolphins! The staff stopped twice allowing us to take pictures and enjoy the dolphins.

Captain Rick and Amy were...

Karen_K, Apr 2024

Captain Rick and Amy were great! Very informative and answered all our questions. It turned rainy and cold right before our cruise , so they seated us where the cold breeze didn’t reach us and gave each a very soft blanket to use. Rick held onto our elderly mother on the ramp and helped her up the steps. He took such good care of all of us!

Great experience!

Shauna_H, Apr 2024

The entire experience was truly enjoyable. The crew shared informative details about the area and provided a great experience. I'd recommend giving them a try!

It was a great...

Ambyr_H, Sep 2023

It was a great experience, they talked a little about what you were seeing, answered any and all questions. Took photos of us at the perfect sunset spot! Staff was excellent!

Fantastic Views

Alyssa_E, Sep 2023

Very good captain and crew. Amy was delightful and knowledgeable and both her and the captain were funny and engaging! The sun went down faster than any of us thought but the views were still spectacular! The boat was clean and there were complimentary drinks which my family and I enjoyed. The only thing not peachy about the tour: There’s so much development that the first half of the tour is buildings and boats but that can’t be helped. After that it was amazing! Would go again!

Celebrate Sunset

10 star rating

PaulJ_A, Sep 2023

The hotel was so beautiful, such a friendly staff, and it lit up in blue at night. I would rate it in the top 3 nicest hotels to stay in if you’re going to stay in Wilmington!! Gorgeous view of the river and right on the boardwalk, and the pool was amazing and it was perfectly centrally located!

No refund given - Impending Hurricane Idia

Gail_L, Aug 2023

We canceled going on the sunset cruise with impending Hurricane Idalia. We feared the waves would be too choppy (waves along the shore were choppy) with Hurricane/Tropical Storm Idalia expected to hit Wrightsville Beach the following day. No refund given.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi sorry about that we have our full concentration on preparing for the storm and probably missed your call or email. Please email me at sailing@blockade-runner.com and ill sort it out.

The two guides for the cruise were awesome and easy to talk to. The views were also great and we saw a beautiful sunset. Even got to see a dolphin right next to our boat! We loved the experience.
