The boat!
Tom G.

My date and I decided to have a little pre-Thanksgiving afternoon cruise while we were visiting family and Captain Oliver made it an amazing experience. We lucked into the good weather, but everything else I thank the captain for. He let us get involved in the whole sailing experience by letting us steer and help hoist the sails, very fun. Also gave us all kinds of fun trivia about the area and all kinds of fun stories while we wined and dined on the goodies we brought along with us. Very charismatic. He also made sure we got plenty of photo ops in and is quite the talented photographer! For a two hour cruise, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and we'd be happy to recommend a trip with Oliver anytime!

See all

Salty Feet Adventures

I had family coming to visit and thought it would be fun to get us out onto a boat. I texted the…read morenumber on the website asking if they could possibly accommodate a two hour ride instead of a three and James was very responsive and helpful. He asked for input about where we wanted to go on the ride but also offered great suggestions. It was a nice balance. The day of the ride was SO much fun. There were six of us and plenty of room on the boat to spread out. One of us has a bit of anxiety about boats and James was very reassuring. The island James took us to was peaceful and beautiful and it was amazing getting to float in the still water nearby. He even collected some shells for my toddler to bring home! James is not a Wilmington native but has been here for a while and has clearly worked hard on knowing the area well. The two hours flew by - we had such a great time. Before we got back I was thinking about when we could rationalize doing it again. Highly, highly recommend booking with Salty Feet. Full disclaimer that I know James through a friend, but that doesn't sway my opinion in any way. I'm not affiliated with the business and don't know James well.

OYE review: had a blast on the Port City Brew Bus getting to know some other local Wilmington…read moreYelpers. Thanks for setting everything up, Erynn! The Brew Bus goal: to venture and promote local Wilmington breweries and teach beer drinkers (novice or well learned) the history and flavor profile of the beer staples. They offer open tours for booking online or private tours by pre-booking. The private tours can accommodate up to 14 people and they will customize to your desires. You can also bring your choice of food onto the bus for your party. The pros: -a wide variety of tastings both on the bus and at breweries -- meaning non beer lovers can actually find stuff they enjoy! -funny and knowledgeable tour guides. These guys make being a beer geek look totally freakin awesome -they know the owners of the breweries and their stories which gives you some insight to their brewing process and flavor passions Tips: They don't have food, so eat or bring some snackies! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to explore Wilmington and discover their beer preferences.

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy…read more This business is simply genius. The men behind Port City Brew Bus are capitalizing on the local growing craft beer and bottle shop industry by literally driving consumers to drink locally. This tour is a must for any beer lover. It's the perfect for visiting guests or those who are interested in home brewing. Each stop on the tour offers something unique; prepare to be buzzed and happy. We started the tour at Bombers Beverage. If you haven't checked out this bottle shop you should. The selection and customer service is unmatched. I will never forget the beer bloody marry I had here earlier this year. While at Bombers we tasted a few different types of beer while our tour guide Jeremy gave us a beer lesson. The second stop was Waterline Brewing. Unfortunately this brewery is not yet open to the public therefore we just the outside and talked a bit about their upcoming opening. Nest we traveled to the #BAD (Brooklyn arts district) side of town to visit Fly Trap Brewing. This brewery is unique because they only brew for in house so if you want to try one of their awesome brews you must visit the brewery. One conversation with the owners, Mike and Emily, and you will be a regular for life. After, we ventured toward the center of town to check out Wilmington Home Brew Supply. This business is the only place in town that sells home brew equipment. They have everything to accommodate your home brewing project and if they don't they will get it. New to home-brew? They offer free classes and demonstrations. The last stop on the tour was Broom Tail Brewery. This small brewery is located in an industrial park on the north side of town. They specialize in craft beer with un traditional flavor profiles. I have had their lemon grass ginger whit multiple times at Catch and it is amazing. We were fortunate to arrive during a shrimp boil, which was a wonderful end to an afternoon of beer. The best part about the emerging beer/wine market? It's community based. Some brewery owners are even related and easy it's to find local beer on draft at other breweries even in the same neighborhood. For example Iron Clad carries craft draft from both Front Street Brewery and Broom Tail. This tour is save and simple way to drink local. Great for groups, holiday parties and adventure.

This last Spring, as I was on a stroll downtown with my wife, I witnessed this bizarre contraption…read moreride by. I froze. "Wait! What the heck? Is that a giant bike with a group of friends laughing and drinking beer? OMG! How is that even legal?!" ...was my knee-jerk reaction to seeing the Trolley Pub for first time. After wiping the shock from my face, I declared, "If that 's legal, I gotta do it! And if it's not legal, I still wanna do it!" Fast forward six months, and I just dismounted from my first trip on the Trolley Pub... This, my friends, is something you all have to experience! If you're visiting or a resident of Wilmington and like to have FUN, ditch the ho-hum Aquarium and do something you'll be talking about tor days! I noticed there's a lot reviews here that talk about Jeff, and what a great Trolley Pub guide he is. Well, there's a reason he's mentioned in reviews often. He set the stage for the great time we all had, and pulled a command performance as tour guide for beer drinkers. "You are going to have fun, and there's no going back now," says Jeff when boarding the Trolley Pub. And was that the truth!

It turned out WAY better than I expected. The experience was loud, fun and a bit crazy. Our driver Angela was awesome!!
