We set out to the Outer Banks to find the Lost Colony and here is what we found....
A roaming black bear in the night, beautiful sand dunes and beaches that go on for miles, encountered a pod of dolphins while on a beautiful sunset cruise with Dan and Katherine (Brian said it felt amazing to be at the helm of a 41 ft sailboat!)
Day 2 we spent exploring Manteo, ran into many friendly people and took a deep dive into the history of The Lost Colony thanks to the kind folks at the Outer Banks History Center.
Lastly we traveled to the northern part of the Outer Banks, visited the Currituck and Bodie Lighthouses, and walked on the grounds where the first flight took place.
The search for the Lost Colony continues....

What a pleasure getting to know you both. Your joy and fabulous hospitality are unmatched. The Starry Banner is overflowing with charm and romance and countless little touches that make it so special. We loved sitting up top with coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. We were gently rocked to sleep in the most comfortable bed ever. Thank you, too, for the sailing experience and your fun and wonderful company. Hope to do it again sometime, it was a dream vacation!

Thank you so much for letting us have such a fun experience on Starry Banner. She is in wonderful shape and so very clean. It is just beautiful and very cozy. Our dogs, Maggie and Annie, loved sitting on the upper deck even though Annie had to wear a little life vest, which she was not so happy about! I loved the fresh flowers and all the little touches you put into making it feel like a home.

Thanks so much this is just what we wanted and needed, two weeks living aboard a boat. Having been sailors for over 50 years we were experiencing severe withdrawal after selling our last boat and moving inland. Starry Banner is so lovely and you have made it so livable - just what we needed! Again, thanks!

You've been the most gracious and accommodating hosts! Oakley Alexander (Yorky) and I absolutely loved our stay on the Starry Banner. Being gently rocked to sleep at night is the best feature! The boat is very cozy and you both have provided everything I needed and more! I enjoyed the proximity to everything! Take care!

What a lovely way to spend our 20th anniversary! The Starry Banner is in the perfect location to visit all of the OBX points of interests north to south! We enjoyed the evening strolls around town and walking along the boardwalks. We appreciate that you were both friendly and informative hosts, and stopping by for a few chats!

We have enjoyed our stay in Manteo so much. We came for our 6 year anniversary and fell in love with this little town and the most friendly people. We loved the cute shops and live music. The boat was everything we expected and more. Our little Honey Girl loved it also, perfect place to visit with your four legged friends. We will definitely plan to visit again.
Til next time!

Thank you so much for all the hospitality! Not only were the accommodations unique, but also cozy and comfy as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the Starry Banner! The first couple days were windy and rainy, but we explored Manteo and fell in love. We did many touristy things on the island including visiting the Lost Colony, the Elizabethan Gardens, and the NC Aquarium. But it was so nice to have the boat to come home to in the evenings!
Would definitely come stay again!

Katherine and Dan, it's difficult to put into words how wonderful our stay on 'Starry Banner' was. Thank you for graciously sharing your beautifully crafted yacht with us. Likewise our sunset sailing charter exceeded expectations - you might have inspired us to live on the water!! Let us know if you come across a sailboat well-suited for two adults and a small dog!
Until we find our own floating gem, we look forward to returning to the 'Starry Banner'. Thank you again for your kindness and hospitality!

Thank you so very much for such an amazing experience. Not only is the Starry Banner unbelievably beautiful, your hospitality and kindness are beyond words. The memories we will take with us from this adventure will last a lifetime. We can't even begin to express how unique and peaceful this experience has been thanks to you. We enjoyed the Outer Banks but staying on your beautiful yacht was the best part. Thank you and bless you for everything you do.

Katherine & Dan, thank you for your hospitality, we truly enjoyed our experience staying on the Starry Banner, it is so beautiful and cozy. It was so unique and unlike anything else we have ever experienced. Thank you so much for the gorgeous flowers and thoughtful cards for our 31st Anniversary and my retirement. You made us feel extra special! This trip was so relaxing and enjoyable! We sincerely loved everything about OBX. We hope to be back soon! Thank you again and God Bless!

It doesn't get any better than this! The Starry Banner was more than the perfect place to celebrate our 40th anniversary! Y'all are in the near center of the OBX and we saw all of it while here. Every evening on the bridge for Happy (several) Hours capped off each great day. You both made the stay so easy and comfortable. Our sail with you was icing on the cake and that sunset pic with the other sailboat in the center says it all. We are sad to leave but will be back. Take care and may you always have a gentle tailwind!
Susan & Joe
July 2022
Katherine, you are such an amazing hostess! Dan, thank you for your offer to take us out on your sailboat. We had the best and most relaxing vacation in a long time. Everyone on the pier was so friendly. Even our dog was welcomed! Your yacht is beautiful! We can't wait to come back to the Starry Banner. It was so much fun! See you soon!

Our sincere thanks for a truly wonderful week aboard the Starry Banner! We've been to the OBX many times over the years, and this trip was special. Starry Banner was the perfect home base for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We got to see and do (and eat) many things this week, but we enjoyed just hanging out on the flybridge or in the salon. A special thank you for our wonderful sailing excursion with you. Seeing all the dolphins frolicking was a memory that we will keep for many years to come! And what a great spot to watch the 4th of July fireworks! Perfect!
Thanks again for providing such a wonderful way for us to have a second honeymoon.

What a uniquely memorable stay! Thanks so much for letting us 'inlanders' get a truly coastal experience! We enjoyed a good beach day to Hatteras Island, toured the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and Cape Hatteras. We ended the afternoon on the beach, enjoying some fun and wild waves, with dinner at the tavern. I think we are expecting rainy days the rest of the trip, but are hoping to go to the gardens, shops, and festival, if weather permits. Great memories and it has only been one full day! Thank you!

Happy Easter! The sunrise service at the waterfront was lovely. A bit windy and chilly but very nice music and messages. We loved our time on Starry Banner, it was comfortable and cozy, a wonderful location to venture to the Wright Brothers Museum, Elizabethan Gardens, and the Aquarium.
Nest is a wonderful shop in town and Nancy helped me find some treasures. Coffee at Charis was a morning ritual and don't miss the Friday morning "cruffins". The Outer Banks is a special place and the town of Manteo allowed us to feel what it must be like to live here.
Thank you for the beautiful fresh flowers and the booklet on architecture.

We came here for our first return trip to North Carolina. We wanted to explore Roanoke Island and the Outer Banks, the Starry Banner was an excellent base to jump off from to see everything the coast has to offer. The two of us and our dog have been all over the country & world, and the Starry Banner was one of the most unique accommodations and experiences we've had on our journey together. The marina is quiet and peaceful; the boat sways gently in the water, it has a feeling of privacy while still being connected to the outside world. It is the perfect place to go with someone you genuinely care to be with.
This was one of the best experiences we've ever had, and one we will remember for the rest of our lives. We cannot wait for a return trip!
The Burtons
Timeless for Covid Times
During a time when we needed a getaway from everything COVID-19 in the city, Manteo and the Starry Banner more than supplied that respite.
We experienced a perfect blend of nautical magic and healing sun, sea salt, and fresh clean air blowing across the water. Now I fully understand the term 'Salt Life'.
The Tiffany is a marvel of vintage and modern convenience. Beautiful, comfortable, and harkens back to a time of Kennedy's Camelot.
Sitting with my morning coffee, camera in hand, as the sun came up was a treat I'll take with me always. I have felt spoiled, relaxed, and inspired. My cup is once again more than half-full -- I'm restored.
The quaint downtown allowed further surprises and convenience. Ice cream, local winery, great food, unique shops - it's all right here. We even followed the lead of the local children and jumped off the bridge a few times!
Thank you for providing this moment of good deep breaths and capacity to now return to positively impact those at home.

Staying on Starry Banner was a real treat for me! The boat has all the amenities anyone could possibly want or need, is comfortable in every way. The view in all directions is spectacular, with the charming town of Manteo just steps away, with interesting shops and restaurants to peruse. One feels one has stepped back in time, enjoying the experience of living in small town USA. Everyone speaks to each other with a smile. Having grown up in Florida, in a family who sailed in the Gulf and Tampa Bay, I simply loved being here on Starry Banner. Thank you, Katherine and Dan for making this possible! It was wonderful!
Ellen
Dec 2021
Thank you both for this unique opportunity on Starry Banner! We were here in Manteo to enjoy all of the holiday spirit. The tree lighting, parade, strolling through the charming shops and drinks on the Starry Banner with friends were all terrific highlights to our weekend stay. I will remember this charming adventure always with hopes of returning someday. Thank you for the attention to detail that made our stay superior in every way!

Katherine and Dan, Janet and I have been best friends since the early 70's and we were so looking forward to our new adventure and stay on the Starry Banner - It was more than we hoped it would be - What a beautiful setting and Starry Banner was so comfortable. Friday we ventured into Duck and Saturday Market at Wanchese, then Manteo was open to Trick or Treating in all of the businesses - What a great time of year to visit - winds, rains, and sunshine too- We watched movies and enjoyed cocktails on top of the Starry Banner. Our experience was so very special in every way and meeting Katherine and Dan was a treat and they both made us feel very comfortable and answered all of our questions. We learned some boating terms and Janed learned to stretch her legs loading and unloading (-: We had a lot of fun and laughs and as we ventured out each day we always looked forward to returning to the Starry Banner!

What a unique and memorable time on the Starry Banner! This was out second yacht stay and only reinforced our enjoyment of boat life. We loved sitting up top and watching the sunset. The Starry Banner had everything that we needed and we loved being in the heart of downtown. This all made for a lovely 4th anniversary celebration. Thank you, Katherine and Dan!
Andrea & Robert

What a wonderful vacation on board the Starry Banner-- we could not have asked for more! The boat was just perfect -- surprisingly spacious, comfortable and so convenient to the town. Manteo is a great little spot - beautiful surroundings, friendly people and nice shops and restaurants. Thank you so much for sharing the Starry Banner with us! This is a trip we will never forget!
PS; The fresh cut flowers were beautiful!!

Pandemic Escape! And anniversary celebration! Needed a beautiful, quiet place to escape and reconnect. Manteo and our stay on the Starry Banner fit the bill perfectly. Katherine and Dan were so welcoming and kind, thank you for your hospitality and sharing this wonderful place for us to stay! Explored Manteo and the rest of Roanoke Island while here as well as Corolla south to Nag Head. Beautiful place, warm people... what more could you ask for? Best wishes for continued success with the Starry Banner and all your endeavors.
Warmly,
Michelle & Sam
Sept 2021
Wow! A whole week went by and we feel like we just got here. What a cool experience. Thank you so much for opening your water home to us. So much fun! Definitely want to come back, everyone was so friendly, including the neighbors at the end of the dock. It is true (if you read the previous entries) you can spend an afternoon on the flybridge taking in the sights of the marina and watching the children and adults jumping off the bridge behind here. Thank you again! To the next guests.... I hope you enjoy this experience as much as we did!
Jaime & Jimmy
August 2021
We enjoyed our stay on the Starry Banner, so much room and a view to die for! Manteo is such a quaint little town. We usually come every year, been coming to the Outer Banks since I was a child! Hope to be back soon, all the best!

What a spectacular way to celebrate our 28th anniversary. From the beautiful flowers that greeted us when we arrived to the lovely touches throughout the Starry Banner, we felt pampered!! It was delightful to get to meet you and enjoy Manteo. We loved kayaking and paddle boarding both here and at Alligator Wildlife Refuge - and there really are alligators (we came face to face with a couple of them!). Thanks for a unique getaway. We look forward to spreading the word! Thanks,
Jeff & Melanie
August 2021
The boat was a great experience, and the weather was fantastic! Manteo is quite a charming town with such a rich history. Our favorite part was the upper deck, best spot ever to read a book... or three, also great stargazing.
Thank you,
David & Connie
July 2021
We enjoyed our visit to Manteo and the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but the highlight was definitely our stay on the Starry Banner and the hospitality of Katherine and Dan. We celebrated our 50th Anniversary here in order to repeat our honeymoon destination 50 years ago and once again had a wonderful time, probably did more sightseeing this time! Highly recommend Katherine and Dan's "Sunset Cruise" on their sailboat ( www.sailouterbanks.com ), what a great finale!
George & Cheryl
July 2021
My husband retired June 30, 2021 and this was part of our first retirement vacation... what a way to kick off the next chapter in our lives! Thank you for a wonderful stay on your beautiful yacht... truly an experience we'll never forget, perfect in every way! Peace and big hug,
Matt & Beth
July 2021
We had an amazing stay aboard the Starry Banner. Thank you so much for everything. The yacht is so well stocked, you thought of the smallest detail. We enjoyed visiting with you both, we will be back for sure and next time we will make sure to book a sunset cruise (If only to spend time with you two). Thank you is not enough to express our gratitude, nor are there words to express how much we enjoyed the trip. God bless you both and the little town of Manteo. Until we meet again,
Steve & Tammy
July 2021
We really enjoyed our stay on the Starry Banner as we celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary! Everything we needed was provided and Katherine and Dan were such wonderful hosts! Even fresh flowers!! Manteo is filled with history and charm, including Festival Island, Ft. Raleigh, and the many shops & restaurants - visited the Lost Colony Brewery twice as well as great coffee shops! Also visited Corolla for the Wild Horse Tours and saw many, many horses, including a foal (one day old)! A unique and beautiful place to stay, beautiful woodwork, touches of home, and a great location for walking through Manteo. Thank you for sharing the Starry Banner with us!
Steve and Linda

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Starry Banner with Bill and me! It was the perfect anniversary week and a much needed rest. Katherine and Dan are the most gracious hosts, our card and flowers were greatly appreciated and beautiful. We will return again!!! When I finish this next round of cancer treatments I think this will be the perfect spot to give thanks and recuperate. Thank you so much.

What a truly great and memorable experience! We have always wondered what it would be like to live/stay on a boat. Thank you for providing that experience for us on the Starry Banner yacht. The location is great being centrally located to everything on the OBX. Also, thank you for the special touch of the fresh cut flowers. We had a great time!
Chris & Suzanne
June 2021
What a memorable vacation! We absolutely loved the Starry Banner! The weather was perfect (except for one day - and it cleared in the afternoon). The location is great. We visited the Lost Colony Cafe multiple times and enjoyed the shops and walking the area! We hope to visit again sometime!

Thank you so much Katherine and Dan. We had a lovely time on your yacht and exploring Manteo and the southern Outer Banks. A highlight of each day was cocktails on the bridge of Starry Banner, daily walks over to Festival Park and all along the boardwalk. This was truly the relaxing getaway we needed. Hope to see you soon!
Thea & Julie
May 2021
Thank you for providing such an awesome and memorable experience! The location could not have been more perfect for a much needed weekend getaway after so many months of staying home! We decided to take our chances with the gas shortage and won! It was my husband's first trip to OBX and he loved it! We drove out as far as we could to see the beautiful horses, stopped at the Currituck Lighthouse, the Wright Brothers Memorial, visited Fort Raleigh and the Elizabethan Gardens, visited Festival Island and thoroughly explored downtown Manteo. Our most favorite experience was an Oregon Inlet tour via a BIPLANE! Wow! What an amazing view! We enjoyed meeting others at the marina and Poor Richards sandwich shop, really good people!
So until next time,
Drew and Becca

We are so glad to be back aboard the Starry Banner. Our last stay was wonderous. We learned to kayak and first time living on a yacht. This visit was the perfect ending for a year of troubles. All the paint and woodwork gleans from the painting and staining. The bed is so comfy, and everything - and I mean everything - we needed to fix our meals was on the boat. The weather cooperated and we saw lots of birds at Pea Island, kayaked in the nearby channels and read books on the flying bridge. Thank you for all you have done to make the Starry Banner our special getaway.
Sally & Kathy

Thank you for such a Beautiful / different experience. It has opened our eyes to a whole new nautical world. The Starry Banner has all of the comforts of home and the allure of a life outside of the real world. We loved our time at Manteo - in the South overall we now know what they're talking about when people speak of Southern Charm. These memories are with us forever. Thank you Starry Banner!
April 2021
What a unique experience staying on your beautiful boat! We enjoyed the sunrises with a cup of coffee, the sunny breezy weather, finding cool stuff at a gallery / gift shop on Hatteras Island, the Aquarium, the quaint town of Manteo, and of course the beautiful beaches! Thank you for sharing your awesome boat with us.

What a unique and fun experience! We stayed for a whole week in honor of my husband's birthday. This was my first visit to the OBX, but it will not be my last. Beautiful! And this from someone who spent 5 years of time on the Gulf. It was wonderful to walk to everything and to enjoy the lights along the boardwalk at night. So thankful to be able to bring our Golden Doodle with us, too. Everyone in the area is so nice, Sharon & Dan were the best hosts we've ever had with vrbo!
Many thanks! Joi, Harry, and Molli

July 23, 2020
We so enjoyed our stay on the Starry Banner! We especially loved evenings on the upper deck, where we were entertained by a steady stream of kids jumping off of the bridge and swimming back to the dock. Staying on a yacht was a new experience and one we'll remember and cherish.
Thank you. Sheri, Barbara, and Easy (the dog)

rA very strange year to say the least (Covid), but so happy for our stay. My daughter got married today in Manteo. The town will forever be in our hearts. Rained the first two days but the sun came out for the perfect day. Thank you for the memories and a great stay. We'll be back! Everyone here amazing and so friendly, loved the boat.

What an awesome weekend! Arrived Friday afternoon and loved every minute. It was a bit windy but the Starry Banner held firm and all we felt was a little rocking. More like swaying in a hammock. Very relaxing. Our little chihuahua Sookie wasn't sure at first but settled in fine. And she loved walking around town meeting all the other doggies and their people. The one kitty-cat we came across wasn't real friendly, but Sookie tried. Everything on board was well thought out and more than we could have asked for. Such a great place. So close to so much to do. We parked and never got in the car the whole time. And Sharon was fabulous! Contacted me by email and was super responsive! Thank you again! I will be sure to do this again in the future.
Tommy, Tiffany, and Sookie

Stayed on the Starry Banner for our 35th Wedding Anniversary. We had never slept on a boat before, had a glorious time!!! Took advantage of the fun things to do in Manteo. Ghost Tour, Capt Johnnie's Dolphin Cruise, Movie at the Pioneer Theater,,, But the best time was just sitting topside in the cool breeze watching the flag flutter... So peaceful and calm. Wish we could stay longer. Good Eats at 1587 & Lost Colony Brewery. Great coffee from 2 of the nearby shops. Thanks for opening the Starry Banner for us to enjoy!!

We had a wonderful time on the Starry Banner! The mornings were amazing to watch the sun rise and we enjoyed all the friendly people we met! It was our first time in Manteo, we went shopping, ate at many cute sandwich shops. Shrimp was amazing! It was our daughter's 30 BD and last trip with her before her wedding! Great family time. The boat was clean, well stocked, new sheets and towels - service was outstanding. Thank you so very much!

Checking out after 3 wonderful nights on the Starry Banner! This was a first for me and I enjoyed every moment on the boat. The A/C worked very well and everything was ship-shape! I particularly enjoyed spending time on the bridge looking out over the other boats and enjoying a moonlit evening. Thanks for letting me dock my little boat as well!!
Very best to you!! D & Y
June 12, 2019
This was such a fun and unique experience! We will definitely recommend this to friends. Island Perk Coffee Shop across the street was so friendly and the Orange Cranberry and Bavarian Chocolate doughnuts were great, so was the hot chocolate! Great walk across the bridge and did the tour of the boat. Once across the bridge if you take a hard left there is a great walkway that will take you out to the edge of the salt marsh. We visited Kitty Hawk / Wright Brothers (It was great) also drove to Cape Hatteras Light House and went to the top before flying a Kitty Hawk kite on the beach. Loads of fun!

The Starry Banner was the first boat either of us stayed on. It was and interesting and intriguing experience for both of us. We enjoyed being on the water and exploring the town of Manteo. We loved how the boat looked like a cute little apartment. Really well decorated and full of heart! Thank you for providing a vessel such as this one and for giving us a wonderful memory to remember!
Love, Sarah & Erin
