Why don't you be the judge ~ welcome aboard, and enjoy all that the wonderful town of Manteo and Roanoke Island has to offer right at your own dock!
My wife and I had never been to the Outer Banks before this trip. Staying on a boat was a great way to enjoy the area. Their boat is very clean and well located to enjoy much of what the area has to offer. Katherine and Dan were great hosts, recommending places to go and things to do. We would definitely stay again.
What an amazing time we had staying in the Starry Banner! If you are looking for some time away this unique experience is one you wonât soon forget. We loved it!
The boat had everything we needed, and then some. They say that location is everything and this was perfect. We enjoyed wandering around town, sampling what restaurants and shops had to offer. We enjoyed relaxing down below and having drinks and snacks on the fly bridge while we enjoyed the weather.Looking forward to returning. The hosts were great communicators.
She is a beautiful and unique vintage yacht. Everything you could ask for and more. Beautifully restored and in a charming town of Manteo. The owners were responsive. I actually met them twice. Would definitely come back
This was the most wonderful vacation we've had! The boat was a wonderful place to relax and is docked in an excellent location. Our hosts were wonderful and very helpful, providing extra information and great spots to stop. We're already planning our 2025 visit to the same exact spot!
Katherine and Dan were wonderful hosts of their yacht the Starry Banner. We were able to bring our dog and we all enjoyed our unique stay. They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable,down to fresh flowers and special treats for our pooch.
We loved our stay on the boat. Everything was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, convenient to shops and restaurants and great walking opportunities. I would highly recommend to anyone who has ever wanted to stay on a boat.
The Starry Banner was the perfect spot for our stay in Manteo! The location was great -
so easy to walk to restaurants and shops - and staying on a boat was fun! The boat was clean, well maintained, and beautiful. Katherineâs messages were clear and helpful. I highly recommend a stay on the Starry Banner!
We loved our stay at the Starry Banner... It was clean and well taken care of on the inside and out...It is located in a great little community that is welcoming.
A great place for an adventure. Clean, quiet and unique. Our second stay on the Starry Banner was just as good as the first! Always a treat to stay in Manteo. Love the town and the accommodations! Looking forward to our next trip!
Katherine and Dan have this beautiful boat set up perfectly for anyone that wants to just get away and relax. The communication was top notch and they are amazing hosts. It's tucked away in Manteo, away from the crowdedness of OBX tourism.
The apartment was exactly as presented in the pictures and was nice and clean. Our host was very friendly providing helpful information both practical and of great places to see. The town was charming and the area amazing. We can definitely recommend this place.
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 )
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.
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!
