We welcome you aboard the Henrietta for a relaxing, informative and scenic cruise on the Cape Fear River. Upon leaving our dock we will cruise upriver to the forks of two major rivers then head south past Historic Wilmington on your left, the Battleship North Carolina and Eagles Island to your right. Our captains will give you a snapshot of Wilmington's history from the early explorers to Modern day ships from all over the world.
You will enjoy a beautiful sun set on every cruise, and on occasion we have a spectacular moon rise to go along, a double treat for you. A cruise aboard the Henrietta is an experience you don't want to miss. Bring your special someone and enjoy our open air canopy covered deck, while sipping your favorite beverage from our full bar. On your cruise we will visit the port where ships from around the world will be moored.
The SUN Setting over Eagles Island, a MOON RISE over the city or Wilmington's lights reflecting on the river are memories you will want to preserve so bring your camera.
