About Your Trip

Welcome aboard your premier luxury yacht experience in Wrightsville Beach, where coastal beauty meets impeccable service. From intimate gatherings to milestone celebrations, styled photoshoots to spontaneous escapes, this private yacht charter offers a sophisticated and unforgettable way to explore the waterways of North Carolina in total comfort and style.

Your vessel is a 60’ Absolute Flybridge motor yacht, a masterpiece of Italian design offering multiple levels of refined relaxation. Spacious outdoor decks, a panoramic flybridge lounge, plush sunbeds, and sleek, modern interiors create the perfect setting for anything from sunset cocktails to all-day adventures. Whether you're celebrating with friends or planning a quiet day of luxury, every detail on board is thoughtfully designed to elevate your time on the water.

With a licensed captain and professional crew at the helm, your charter includes a curated cruise tailored to your preferences and the day’s best conditions. You’ll enjoy scenic routes through the Wrightsville Beach Loop and beyond, complete with a large cooler stocked with ice, towels, cups, plates, and a high-quality sound system ready for your favorite playlist. Your only job? Relax and enjoy.

For a quick taste of the yachting lifestyle, the three-hour Cruise the Loop experience offers a relaxed journey through the iconic Wrightsville Beach waterways. It’s the perfect introduction to life on the water, showcasing beautiful waterfront homes, bustling marinas, and scenic salt marshes as you sip, unwind, and take in the views.

If you're craving more time and a little extra fun, the Sip & Swim experience adds a splash to your day. This four-hour charter begins with a smooth cruise before anchoring in a calm, picturesque location where you can dive in, float under the sun, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon on and in the water. It’s ideal for birthdays, bachelorette parties, or simply treating yourself to something extraordinary.

For those looking to truly stretch out and explore, the Loop & Beyond charter extends your experience to six hours, giving you time to go farther, stay longer, and settle into the luxury of a full day at sea. After cruising the Loop, you’ll venture to quieter anchorages where you can swim, sunbathe, or simply enjoy uninterrupted time with your favorite people in a setting that feels worlds away.

Routes may include Wrightsville Beach, Masonboro Island, the Intracoastal Waterway, Figure Eight Island (tide and bridge permitting), Downtown Wilmington, or even a trip out into the Atlantic if weather conditions allow. Every itinerary is shaped by your interests and what the day offers, ensuring each charter is as unique as the guests on board.

To enhance your experience even further, optional upgrades like private bartender service, curated picnic styling, fresh oysters and caviar from local partners, or professional photography are available. These bespoke touches add even more depth to your time aboard, whether you’re marking a milestone or just embracing the good life.

You’ll need to bring your favorite snacks and beverages, sun protection, and a great playlist. Most importantly, bring a relaxed energy and an appetite for luxury.

This is more than just a boat ride—it’s a curated, floating escape designed for those who value quality, elegance, and unforgettable moments. Let the Wrightsville Beach coastline be your backdrop, and let the experience unfold just the way you imagine it.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
