The Blockade Runner Beach Resort is at it again with a wonderful addition for their guests! We are also very grateful that they are offering this added feature to this year’s Flotilla experience.

The Carolina Runner is a custom-built 40′ craft that includes a bar, loading ramp for easy shore access to Masonboro Island, complete modern toilet facilities, and many other amenities for groups up to 40.
