🚤🌧️ A Journey on the Cape Fear River! 🌧️🚤

Yesterday’s historic rain and flooding tested everyone’s resilience, but our tour boat, the Sally Ann, rose to the occasion! Amidst the storm, the Sally Ann motored up the Cape Fear River to Wilmington to pick up the dedicated crew of the Duke Energy power plant. We made sure they got a smooth ride back to Southport, ensuring they could continue their crucial work into the evening.

A huge thank you to our incredible team for their quick response and unwavering commitment. At Southport Tours, we're proud to be a part of this community and ready to step up when needed. Stay safe and dry out there, everyone!

We had the great pleasure of taking out Janet and her pup today. She booked a private cruise on our River Runner to take her dog for his first ever boat ride for his bucket list as he’s dealing with health issues. It’s was a nice time and we were happy to help!
