About Us

For the Nature Lover and Beachcombing Enthusiast

The narrow barrier islands and marshes of the Cape Fear region hold endless outdoor adventures such as a sightseeing safari, visiting undisturbed islands only accessible by boat or a nice cruise down the river to watch the sunset. At Cape Fear Expeditions you can select from the many tour options we offer or create a custom trip of your own.

Break away from the crowd

Prior to departure enjoy a refreshment and relax on our private pier far away from the hectic summer traffic. Unlike large local tour boats that often lug over 100 people, we provide an exclusive, hands-on experience to islands, beaches and estuaries that are only accessible by boat. Bring your family, bring your spouse for a romantic retreat and escape from the crowds to ensure the precious time away from the hustle and bustle is an unforgettable experience.

Your Expedition Watercraft

Expeditions will be aboard the one and only Sweet Roels, a 22-foot Boston Whaler, "The Unsinkable Legend." We don't operate out of an old smelly fishing boat. The Sweet Roels is a deluxe shallow draft vessel that can pull right up to the beach but can also handle the waves smoothly for a comfortable ride. The Sweet Roels is equipped with stereo, CD, GPS, depth sounder, comfy cushions, ample seating for six, coolers, plentiful dry storage and all required safety gear.

Expedition Gear

Based on your trip selection, we will supply surfboard, boogie board, canoe, crab traps and many other supplies that will make your expedition one that will always be remembered.
