Upwind Acres

Some places you visit. This one you settle into.

Our waterfront getaway in Aurora comes with your own dock, a fire pit for the kind of night that goes longer than you planned, and water so quiet you’ll hear the halyards from the porch.

Pair it with a sunset sail aboard Blue Mind and you’ve got the whole thing.

Weekends book first. Message us or head to upwindacres.net to lock in your dates.

Sail. Stay. Slow down.
Charters on the Neuse, waterfront stays in Aurora, and getaway packages from $300 hosted by captains with 40+ years under sail.

“First time sailing. If you are thinking about going, you should go.”

Sunset sails are happening now.

Bring someone you love, step aboard, and let the Neuse do the rest. Calm water, open sky, and the kind of quiet you just can’t find on land.

We cast off from Northwest Creek Marina and stay out until the color fades.

Skylar and Caitlin said “I do” right here on the water, and the golden hour did the rest. There is nothing quite like a wedding aboard Upwind Acres, sails up and the whole crew cheering you on. Congratulations, you two. 🥂 amilligoinsilli Amilligoinsilli

Some love stories are meant to be told on the water. We just watched two people say forever with the wind in the sails and New Bern behind them, and we cannot wait to show you what unfolded on deck. Captured beautifully by . More coming soon.
