Carolina Runner

"Our group of 8 women enjoyed our island tour with Rick and Phoebe. Some of us climbed up the sand dunes at Money Island and caught spectacular views of the surrounding islands. We stopped at Masonboro Island and walked to the ocean side to see the surfers and walked along the beach. We collected seashells, saw jellyfish and found a sand dollar. We enjoyed our relaxing tour to both islands and Phoebe and Rick were very knowledgeable of the area. Nice tour and highly recommend.."

"Crew was great, they were super friendly and took pictures of everyone on board in their individual groups at sunset. The trip was great and was even longer than an hour and a half (no complaints). They have a cute waiting area with plenty of seating. Everyone arrived ahead of time so we headed out earlier than anticipated. Even had a couple dolphin sightings as well, they have plenty of free drink options as well. They told us all about the best local restaurants on the water, and local bird species, etc. 100% recommended the Carolina Runner :)"

"The Island Hopper tour was great! Enjoyed the ride & visiting 2 islands. Money island & Mansboro Island. Especially since when you walk over Mansboro the ocean is on the other side. We enjoyed walking along the beach & collecting shells we didn't have a chance to get on the busier beaches."

"My husband and I boarded the Allana Sunset Sail, with the friendliest Captains Matty & Hanna, to commemorate our nineteenth wedding anniversary. We will remember this experience always! The boat was beautiful, the water was calm, the weather was perfect, the company was exceptional, and the views were breathtaking! To top everything off, as if it could get no better, (unexpected;y) someone along the shoreline just happened to set off some dazzling fireworks and it just made our night that much more spectacular! I so highly recommend Sound Side to anyone & everyone seeking a serene sailing adventure or a simply remarkable time in Wilmington! Our love for sailing is now totally official & (thanks to Matty) my husband is convinced we need a boat - LOL! We'll certainly never forget this trip and will absolutely book again! Once more, thank you to Matty & Hannah for literally "showing us the ropes"...both of you are professional, skilled, entertaining, engaging, & WONDERFUL at what you do! ~Until the next time, Blessings!

"Our family had such a nice Sunset Cruise! The crew was amazing - even let our kids “drive” the boat! They pointed out landmarks & sea animals, stopped for pictures, and provided a great experience. Check them out!"
