The Wilmington Riverfront Romance
Sunset yacht sail, 3-course private balcony dinner, and Graystone Inn stay.
About this Experience
Experience the coastal magic of North Carolina like never before. From the moment you step aboard your private charter at Kure Beach, every detail is handled by our white-glove concierge team.
Sip chilled prosecco and sample artisanal North Carolina cheeses as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant shades of magenta, amber, and deep indigo.
After docking, private luxury transport delivers you to a reserved, candlelit table along the Historic Wilmington River District. Enjoy an exclusive 4-course tasting menu prepared specifically for your group, featuring fresh-caught black sea bass, Outer Banks oysters, and locally grown heirloom produce.
Finish your evening with a short stroll to the Graystone Inn B&B, where a historic master suite, wood-burning fireplace, and gourmet breakfast await.

“An unforgettable 10th anniversary!”
The sunset cruise from Kure Beach was magical. Seeing the dolphins swim along the yacht as the sun set over the sound was pure magic. Dinner was Michelin-quality, and staying at the Graystone felt like stepping into a romantic movie. Worth every penny!

“The ultimate Carolinian luxury experience”
Chef Vance’s wild Outer Banks oyster dish was hands-down the best dish I have ever eaten. Graystone Inn was cozy, quiet, and deeply peaceful. Can’t wait to book the Mountain Wellness package next!
