About
Cape Fear Riverboats, Inc. was founded in 1987 by Captain Carl Marshburn, who envisioned the downtown Wilmington historic district as a tourist attraction viewed from the river with narration on the area's history and river ecology.
Under the company's ownership, construction of the sternwheel riverboat HENRIETTA began in September 1987 in Greenville, Mississippi; she debuted in Wilmington on April 2, 1988 and operated as a sightseeing and dinner cruise boat until she was sold on March 23, 2015. From 2000 to 2015 the company also sailed the HENRIETTA III. Today it operates the two-deck Henrietta and the Osprey, which has been available for private charters since July 2024. The company also runs the Riverwalk Scoop Shack at its dock.
