Fun, Relaxing, and Delicious Day on the Water!

February 6, 2026

This is the second time we went on an excursion with Epic and we had a blast. We boarded at the public boat dock in Wrightsville Beach and took a leisurely cruise to Masonboro Island. Once there, we did some exploring while our boat captain, Mason, prepared a seafood boil for us. The food was great, the cruise was great (as was captain Mason) and we highly recommend the experience!

Great Crew, Great Food, Great Memories!

February 6, 2026

We booked the low country boil trip and it was AWESOME! Mason was a wonderful host who offered several options for where to stop and enjoy our time on the island. He cooked our food perfect and was a pleasure to be around. Highly recommend Epic Excursions for day trips and will boom with them again! Thank you to Ian for taking care of us and making sure our food from Topsail Streamers was ready.

Amazing Wrightsville Beach Adventure with Captain Bryan!

February 6, 2026

We had a wonderful day with Captain Bryan. We enjoyed time in beautiful spots all around Wrightsville Beach. We enjoyed dolphins, Masonboro inlet, and Lea island. Captain Bryan was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I really can’t recommend him enough.

Perfect Sunset Cruise for Bachelorette Fun with Captain Mason!

February 6, 2026

We did the sunset cruise this weekend as part of my bachelorette trip! Captain Mason was the perfect to lead this excursion! He was very friendly and had some great recommendations for us out of towners. He was very personable and made the trip enjoyable. We had beautiful weather and some great views. Would recommend the excursion and captain Mason to anyone!

Unforgettable Family Adventure – Steam Pot, Paddle Boards & Amazing Crew!

February 6, 2026

We have a blast with Epic Excursions! Kristy was so lovely and helpful with the booking process and helping us choose an adventure that was right for our group. She explained everything and gave us options. We did an 11-person steam pot with paddle boards, chairs, etc. Our captain Mason and skipper Landon were professional, kind, and organized. They cooked our steam pot to perfection and everything was enjoyable! Highly recommend this experience to families wanting to explore the coast and create memories!

Fabulous Sunset Cruise – Knowledgeable Captain & Perfect Scenery!

February 6, 2026

We had a fabulous experience on our cruise! The weather, water and scenery was perfect! Our boat captain was so knowledgeable of the area and took us on the best tour! I can’t remember his name although he introduced himself first thing. He gave us the tour Wednesday September 24 from 5:30 to 7:30. We’d definitely recommend this…great experience!
