Explore the waterways of Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington in style on a classic 42-foot Sparkman and Stephens sailing yawl. Venture to the barrier islands in search of local wildlife.

 

EXPERIENCE:

Sail through the surrounding waterways of Wrightsville Beach on this cruise in Wilmington. Feel the wind in your hair as you stand outside on the spacious deck and take in view of the barrier islands or go below deck and relax in the cozy interior. 

Be greeted by your captain at the Trails End Boat Ramp and be escorted to the ship. Board the ship and get acquainted with the spacious deck that provides passengers with unobstructed views. Go inside to the relaxing interior that is covered in warm hardwood.

Embark on a sailing adventure with a captain that has been sailing for over 30-years. Glide through the Intracoastal Waterways to uncover the dynamic beauty of the barrier islands that shield the shores of Wrightsville Beach from the full force of the Atlantic Ocean.

Look for local birds that like to nest on the beach or swoop through estuaries like the yellow-beaked ‘least tern’ and puffin-like ‘black skimmer.’ Return to your starting point at the end of your sailing tour.
