Relax aboard our 44' catamaran Bella on this evening sail. Enjoy a Caribbean-inspired cocktail while you cruise our local waterways and watch the sunset. Wind permitting, we'll turn off the engines and enjoy the beauty of sailing! There is little that can compare to a sunset sail around NC's barrier islands and marshlands at sunset.
2 hours aboard Bella is the perfect way to wind down and end your summer day. The experienced captain and crew will ensure you have an enjoyable time, serving drinks, offering local insight into the area, and snapping a few memorable family photos if you'd like.
For locals, this is a great cruise to explore your own backyard or show out-of-town guests the best of Wrightsville Beach!

Masonboro Island Reserve
Enjoy an oceanside view of Masonboro Island at sunset. We will sail through the inlet and out into the ocean if the swell is calm enough. Seeing this 8 mile stretch of uninhabited barrier island beach is always a highlight of the trip. Ask your captain and crew about the ecology of Masonboro Island Reserve if you're interested in learning!
Wrightsville Beach
Sail around the serene waterways of Wrightsville Beach. The marsh is full of wildlife and lights up beautifully at sunset. We often see dolphins, egrets, great blue herons, and a variety of seabirds.

My wife and I took the sunset cruise with Captain Mattie and Emma and it was wonderful! From our first steps aboard Bella we felt like we were sailing with friends! I highly recommend taking a trip with these folks!

We had a wonderful time. Our original booking got rained out, but they were able to get us in the next day and we had such a wonderful time. So glad we didn't have to miss this experience. Our Captian Matty, was really great tour guide and Rick and Luke were great at communicating and rebooking our originally rained out booking. Thanks to everyone!!

Captain Phoebe is terrific! Perfect evening to sail the intercostal and Wrightsville bay. She and crew do an amazing job. She is a talented sailer and the boat (Bella) is beautiful. Plenty of accommodations and the cocktails were lovely! We had a perfect evening and her laid-back approach made it ever-so relaxing. 10 stars- we will be back. Highly Recommend. Nothing to improve except keep on doing what you are doing.
