Roanoke Sound

Roanoke Sound takes on a different perspective when you witness dolphins swimming right in front of you, an osprey nesting on a channel marker or diving into the water to catch his next meal. This Roanoke Island, OBX cruise is ideal for romantics, nature lovers, photographers or for those who have earned a few relaxing hours at the end of a busy day at the beach. Enjoy the stunning views that Manteo and the surrounding areas have to offer, from the water. While aboard this majestic 55-foot sailboat, relax with up to 25 of your closest friends and family. Enjoy the sweet sounds of life on the sea while you celebrate your scenic and exciting cruise – day or evening.
