This year marks the 13th annual Cape Fear Community College Boat Show on July 21, 2012.

Held on the banks of the Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, CFCC’s boat show attracts thousands of visitors every year.
This year, the event will feature over a wide variety of wooden boats, including kayaks, skiffs, and boats from the Simmons Sea Skiff Club.
