If you are not a strong swimmer or kinda nervous about swimming get there on time and don't miss the boat, There might even be a second boat on trail just for you

From anywhere in Wilmington just get to Oleander and turn south (Carolina Beach direction) on Pine Grove Dr. The next right onto Masonboro Loop Rd is kind of a fork in the road - you need to be in the right lane curving to the right vs. staying in the left lane and going straight at that point. The fork kind of sneaks up on you.  From there you will cross a small bridge over a creek right before you have to turn left onto Trails End Rd.  Follow Trails End Rd to the end.  Following are directions from downtown Wilmington (Jagermonster's to be specific.)
