Downeast Rover
Sail the Downeast Rover and see the Outer Banks from a completely different perspective. Away from the hustle and bustle of the beach, enjoy a beautiful sail on a 55-foot topsail schooner in Roanoke Sound with the Jockeys Ridge sand dunes and Roanoke Island's "The Lost Colony" as a back drop.

Watch wildlife including ospreys nesting and dolphins surfacing off the bow. Sip your favorite drink and enjoy the peace of the wind and water. We depart from the Manteo waterfront three times a day for two-hour trips and offer additional private charters for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties and family reunions. Give us a call and join us for a memorable tour of the Roanoke Sound.

The Downeast Rover is the premiere Outer Banks sailing experience!
