Enjoy a view of Downtown Wilmington from the middle of the Cape Fear River with a sailing tour provided by Sail Wilmington NC. This friendly sailing tour company allows visitors to catch an in-depth perspective of Wilmington the way it deserves to be seen – from the waterfront – resulting in wonderful photos ops and lifetime memories along the way.
The tours are commandeered by Capt. Alan Held and First Mate Kaete and are held on-board the comfortable 30’ ft. long boat, the “Jammin’.” Capt. Alan has more than 35 years of sailing experience, and will make patrons feel right at ease from first launch, and can even help newcomers “take the wheel” and learn a few sailing basics while en route. All trips are private and can comfortably accommodate 6 people, with tours lasting roughly 1-2 hours of so. Visitors can also enjoy a myriad of options, including a morning tour with continental breakfast, a "Picnic on the Cape Fear River" Tour, an “Iron Genny Historic Harbor Excursion,” and a relaxing Sunset Cruise. With miles of views in every direction, and a laid-back environment throughout, Sail Wilmington NC provides purely engaging and serene Port City tours which showcase the beauty of the Downtown Wilmington Waterfront.

Visitors will find an easy-to-get-to beach paradise at Oak Island, an expansive but peaceful retreat that's located an easy drive away from Wilmington, Southport, and other inland North Carolina communities. Both the main town and the island itself share the name of "Oak Island," and while the town extends slightly inland, encompassing the Cape Fear Regional Jetport, the rest of the community is cut off from the world by the long Elizabeth River, and a network of salty creeks and canals. This watery gap may not be particularly wide, but visitors will feel the change as soon as they cross over the bridge. Once ashore, Oak Island is a picturesque landscape of charming vacation rental homes, cool seafood restaurants and shops, and miles of ocean shoreline.
Greenfield Lake Park is known as one of Wilmington’s coolest and most scenic destinations, and is a vast public park that’s located just south of the historic downtown area. Located on the western edge of Greenfield Lake, and just a stone’s throw from the Cape Fear Riverfront, this pretty public park is the perfect spot for hikers, birdwatchers, kayakers, and anyone who appreciates a natural vista to take a break from the bustling city and simply unwind.
