The Albemarle Sound, located between the Outer Banks and the mainland, offers wonderful sailing grounds. Often times you will spot dolphin frolicking in the waves (they love to hear Jimmy Buffett tunes). If you have your own boat, you can launch it at one of the public boat ramps located on the Outer Banks. If you don’t have a boat, but want to include sailing in your itinerary, there are numerous sailing opportunities to take advantage of.
The 55-foot topsail schooner Downeast Rover departs from downtown Manteo and sails the Roanoke Sound. They sail three times a day for two-hour trips and offer additional private charters as well for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties and family reunions.
For a more intimate cruise, try the beautiful Tartan Offshore Cruising Ketch Pomaika'i. Three cruising options offer great ways to enjoy the fun and adventure of Pomaika’i. 4 Hour Morning Cruise - Late day/Sunset Cruise - Custom Cruise
