Masonboro Island Ferry Boat

During the summer season, the Shamrock makes daily Masonboro Island Ferry trips for those who wish to spend a beach day far from the maddening crowd. Masonboro Island is a pristine, undeveloped 8 ½ mile long barrier island located just south of Wrightsville Beach. This ecological jewel and its miles of unspoiled beaches is accessible only by boat. Let Wrightsville Water Taxi and the Cape Fear Naturalist not only take you there, but help you truly explore it. Shamrock leaves the dock Monday – Saturday starting at 9:00 am. Returning from Masonboro by no later than sunset. Reservations strongly recommended.
