Masonboro Island Reserve
The coastal waters surrounding the Blockade Runner are beautiful any time of day, but nothing compares to the views at sunset. Hop aboard the Carolina Runner and join us for a relaxing and scenic 1.5 hour cruise where you have a front row seat to the best views of Wrightsville Beach. Don’t be surprised if your captain spots dolphins, turtles, seabirds and other marine life. We will position the boat at Masonboro inlet and get great sunset pictures of this pristine untouched barrier island that is over 8 miles long and only accessible by boat before returning to the docks.

Park on the street and meet at the gazebo at 6:15p (not 6:30p like Viator says). Lovely sunset tour. Great guides. Nice outing for any individual or group. Cute dog on board so connect ahead of time if you have allergies or aversions.

Great time! Captain and crew were really nice. Cloudy so no real sunset but the captain slowed down for us to take in all of the dolphins which was unexpected. We will come back!
