5.00Oliver is excellent and very personable.. it was cool to hear about his experiences. The sailing was a very relaxing experience with sights of the past history…..railroad, stream troller boat wreckage and beautiful land that was once rice fields.
Spontaneous Best Decision We Made

5.00I booked this cruise as a surprise for the family and it instantly became the highlight of our entire trip. Captain Oliver was absolutely wonderful with our two kids ages 9 and 6. He let them both take the helm, from steering the boat to learning how to properly tie it when docked, and our daughter even got to help hoist the sails. They were fully in their element and loving every minute of it. While the kids were busy being captains my husband and I got to sit back, drink some wine, and actually relax. That alone was worth it. This is the kind of experience that makes a trip memorable. We would absolutely do it again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area without hesitation. Thank you Captain Oliver for making it so special.
Truly a memorable sailing experience

5.00⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the best experience with Captain Oliver celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary! Captain Oliver was incredibly knowledgeable about the area where we were sailing and made the evening so special. He included my husband, John, in steering the sailboat while he hoisted the sails, and even let me join in to help as well! We enjoyed a bottle of wine we brought along, and when the evening turned chilly, he provided a cozy blanket. The music was fabulous as we sailed along the river, watching a stunning sunset. Returning to see the beautiful lights along the Cape Fear River was the perfect ending to a perfect night. Highly recommend Captain Oliver for a truly memorable sailing experience!
We had a great afternoon...
