About the host
Hosted by Katherine and Dan Bottjen
The owners, Katherine and Dan, have lived on Roanoke Island for over 20 years. We love the town, it's people & way of life, and of course the waters surrounding the Outer Banks. Katherine is an architect who lived for a while on Ocracoke and Dan is a boat builder, still working some in Wanchese, so we are both drawn to the water and all of the great activities it offers. We also own a 41 Ft ketch just a couple slips away and do sunset sail charters (check it out at www.sailouterbanks.com )
Why they chose this property
Starry Banner is a classic 46 Ft Tiffany Motor Yacht, built in 1976, the interior mahogany has been beautifully maintained over the years. For those with a boater's mindset, it is a little like stepping back in time to see a lower station helm with the original wooden spoke helm wheel and the upper helm station just for cruising in nice weather and of course for docking.
What makes this property unique
The upper bridge is our favorite place to hang out, especially around sunset. There is plenty of seating and fun to bring up some drinks and snacks and chat with the friendly dock neighbors or watch the kids jump off the bridge. We are pet friendly ($75 pet fee) so if you are bringing a dog or two let us know - they are welcome too!
