Why Wilmington & Cape Fear Waters?

Located at ICW Mile 295, Wilmington serves as a critical waypoint for thousands of cruisers annually while supporting one of North Carolina’s largest local boating communities. The Cape Fear River system, Wrightsville Beach, and Carolina Beach create a diverse marine environment requiring specialized knowledge and expertise.

We understand both the urgent needs of traveling boaters who can’t wait days for service and the seasonal patterns of local boat owners preparing for peak boating months. Our provider network is strategically positioned to serve this entire region efficiently, with many offering mobile services and emergency response capabilities.
