Shallow Water Draft Makes Stiletto Ideally Suited to the Outer Banks

With only a 10″ draft, there are no waters too shallow for a Stiletto Catamaran, and this means she is perfectly suited to the shallow waters of the Outer Banks. Stiletto can take you through all the back water bays for clamming, fishing, and shelling and even right up onto the beach because Stiletto is beachable. If you see the perfect little private beach we can pull her right up on the sand giving you perfect access during your charter sailing the OBX.

Competitive Speeds Take You Farther Through the Outer Banks

See more of the waters and beaches you love on Stiletto. The Stiletto catamaran is an innovative design produced from some of the world’s lightest materials and designed for sailing fast. She can reach speeds up to 30 knots, but averages 10-14 in moderate breeze. Never again will you think of stodgy, slow, old boats when you hear, “Let’s go for a sailing trip”.

Stiletto was made for fast, shallow water adventure. So hang on tight and get ready for the ride of your life!

About The Outer Banks

Why is The Outer Banks a good sailing destination?

The Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina, a slender thread of islands stretching over 200 miles, has long beckoned sailors and sea enthusiasts to its pristine shores. Its allure is timeless, but why exactly does this maritime Eden stand out as a superior sailing destination? Yachting.Rent dives into the heart of OBX to unravel the essence of its magnetic pull.

To begin, the natural beauty of OBX is unparalleled. The islands form a unique tapestry of diverse landscapes: from towering sand dunes, wild mustangs on Carova Beach, to the serene waters of Pamlico Sound, every turn presents a new vista. Sailing here isn’t just a journey; it’s an ever-evolving panorama. The waters around the Outer Banks offer a mix of challenges and calm, catering to both the adventurous sailor and those seeking tranquility. The Gulf Stream, located not too far offshore, brings with it a warm current, creating an environment rich in marine life. Dolphins dancing in the wake of your yacht, schools of fish shimmering below, and the occasional sea turtle sighting elevate the OBX sailing experience from mere travel to a communion with nature.

Yachting.Rent recognizes the rich history that’s interwoven with the natural beauty of OBX. This is where the Wright Brothers took their inaugural flight, where the mysterious Lost Colony vanished, and where countless shipwrecks have tales to tell. Sailing here is like flipping through the pages of a living history book. Each island, be it Roanoke, Hatteras, or Ocracoke, has a story to share. The lighthouses dotting the islands stand as proud sentinels of the past, guiding sailors just as they have for centuries. Exploring these historical landmarks, all the while having the Atlantic on one side and the sound on the other, is a unique blend of education and recreation.

But what truly sets OBX apart, and what Yachting.Rent cherishes most, is its soul. This isn’t just a destination; it’s a feeling. The local communities, with their warm hospitality, rich traditions, and authentic seafood cuisine, welcome sailors into a world where the lines between visitor and local blur. Events like the annual Pirate Festival offer a glimpse into the vibrant culture of the islands. Moreover, the sustainability efforts to preserve the beauty of OBX ensure that the islands remain untouched and pure. This balance of nature, history, and culture creates an ambience where one can truly disconnect from the bustle and reconnect with the self.

In essence, The Outer Banks is more than just a sailing destination; it’s a sanctuary for the soul. With its myriad offerings, it promises not just a journey but an experience, not just sights but memories. At Yachting.Rent, we don’t just offer a service; we invite you to be a part of the OBX tapestry, to weave your own stories amidst its vast expanse. Because here, in the embrace of the sea and the whisper of the winds, you find not just a destination, but a home.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in the Outer Banks

The Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina, with its blend of open sea and sheltered sounds, presents sailors with a choice: the traditional sailing boat or the modern catamaran. Each vessel offers its own distinct experience, catering to different tastes and sailing goals. As the premier yacht rental service in the region, Yachting.Rent is here to guide you in making the perfect choice for your OBX adventure, ensuring every voyage is both memorable and tailored to your desires.

A sailing boat, often referred to as a monohull, is the epitome of traditional seafaring. With its deep keel, it offers stability in the open waters of the Atlantic that skirt the Outer Banks. This is the choice for purists, those who want to feel the roll of the ocean and the challenge of taming the waves. Sailing boats are perfect for those who seek the thrill of heeling under the power of the wind, hearing the creak of timbers, and feeling the spray of the ocean on their face. Moreover, with their streamlined structure, they can venture into many of the narrower channels and coves dotted around OBX, allowing sailors to explore hidden gems and secluded anchorages. Aboard a sailing boat, one can experience the romance and nostalgia of classic sailing, a connection to the seafarers of old who charted these very waters.

On the other hand, the catamaran, with its twin hulls, offers a different kind of experience. Known for its stability and spaciousness, it’s akin to floating on a mobile island. The wide deck space is perfect for sunbathing, group activities, or simply lounging with a cocktail in hand. Due to its design, catamarans have a reduced draft, making them ideal for exploring the shallower waters of the Pamlico Sound and other estuaries in OBX. For those who prioritize comfort, the catamaran offers larger living spaces, panoramic views, and a smoother ride. This is the vessel for those who want to experience the beauty of OBX with the comforts and luxuries of modern sailing.

But, whether you choose the sailing boat or the catamaran, the magic of OBX remains unchanged. Dolphins playfully chasing the bow wave, the silhouette of a lighthouse against the setting sun, or the serenity of a starlit night anchored in a secluded bay – these are the moments that define the Outer Banks experience. Yachting.Rent is committed to making these moments accessible, irrespective of your vessel choice. Our fleet, consisting of both monohulls and catamarans, is maintained to the highest standards, ensuring safety, comfort, and unparalleled performance.

In conclusion, the choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran ultimately boils down to personal preference. Are you chasing the thrill of traditional sailing or the luxury of a stable, spacious vessel? Whatever you seek, Yachting.Rent is here to facilitate your dream OBX voyage. Because in the end, it’s not just about the vessel; it’s about the memories you create aboard it.

110 Foot Catamaran Largest Ever Built on the Outer Banks

With the launch of a 110’ catamaran back in July, a new record has been set for Wanchese boatbuilding.

The Outer Banks and especially Wanchese and Manteo have a long rich history of boat building dating back more than 150 years. Wanchese has really become the center of the craft over the past 50 years but in WWII that skill was found at the Manteo Boat Building Company and the many wooden boats constructed for the US Navy, including 13 105’ wooden patrol boats.

Outer Banks Boat Hippocampus 2

But the Hippocampus 2—H-2 for short—is something else entirely. Hippocampus is the genus name for all species of seahorse.

The size certainly sets it apart. At first glance, it may not even look as big as it is. Sitting on the twin hulls of a catamaran, it looks a bit blocky and that can give the impression that the craft is not as large as it is. But it is all of 110 feet.

It’s also aluminum. The modern Wanchese boats use a lot of materials—wood for the longest time, fiberglass for at least the past 40 or 50 years, and carbon fibers are increasingly being used. But an all-aluminum hull? That’s rare.

But form follows function, and for Florida businessman Brian Schmitt who had the boat built, aluminum was the material that made the most sense for what he wanted to do with the H-2.

For Schmitt, what the H-2 represents is a chance to recapture the joy of scientific discovery. Now in his 60s, he and his wife met in grad school and spent the next 30 or 40 years building a very successful business in Marathon, Florida. And as he told a local newspaper, he saw people he cared about work until the day they died, never taking the time to do the things they really wanted to do.

Although successful in business, Schmitt’s grad school experience included studying at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. The Massachusetts research center, at the base of Cape Cod, is considered one of the premier oceanographic research centers in the world. The plan that he and his wife have is directly related to that—they intend to sail the seas, doing research, although there are no plans to publish papers—just looking at the remarkable world around them.

Aiding in that will be the equipment he’ll have with him, including a small submarine, a 26’ boat, and an onboard helicopter pad.

The H-2 is remarkable for its size and workmanship, and how it came to be built in Wanchese is a story all its own.

About six years ago, Schmitt decided he wanted to replace his H-1, the smaller predecessor to the H-2. He had his supervisor for the project picked out, but no decision had been made about where to build it, other than, it was going to be built in the United States.

The supervisor’s secretary happened to vacation on the Outer Banks and chanced upon Wanchese, got back to Florida, and said, “You should check that place out.”

He checked it out and agreed.

The building they found to build the craft has some history of its own. At one time it was the home of Davis Boatworks. Buddy Davis was a legendary boatbuilder who developed what has come to be known as the Carolina Flare, a watercraft with a deep V bow and wide flaring deck.

Perhaps most remarkably, most of the boat was done by just three or four workers.

Outer Banks Boat Builders Blake LaRose, Rob Ayers, Brian Schmitt, Marshall Reynolds, Lee Zaloudek

Rob Ayers was the build foreman on the project. A welder by trade, he gathered with him some people who really knew what they were doing and proceeded to build a double-hulled 110’ watercraft.

It took almost six years to finish the project. Some of the work Ayers’ team couldn’t do. The cabinetry and interior of the boat is beautiful, and all of that work was done by Outer Banks artisans. The work was so good that when asked about it, Felix Herrin, project supervisor, commented that the workers were “artists.”

The H-2 was launched on a hot, muggy day in July. It was a slow process that included a hydraulic jack lifting the ship off the concrete of the slip and gently into the water. Two towboats waited for it in the waters of Roanoke Sound. Towed away from the shallow waters, the H-2 fired up its engines and maneuvered around the point to Wanchese Harbor where final fittings for the boat will be done.

Local News | Catamaran is the largest boat ever built in small Outer Banks village

With towlines attached, the H-2 prepares to get underway. (By Kip Tabb/freelance)

On a muggy, sticky midsummer morning, about 60 to 70 people gather to watch the launch of the largest boat ever built in Wanchese, a small maritime village on the Outer Banks.

Back in World War II, the Manteo Boat Building Company crafted 13 105-foot wooden patrol boats for the war effort, but at 110 feet, this boat is bigger.

The craft is a catamaran, a double-hulled aluminum vessel that is considerably wider than most boats of its size.

Its launch is a complex dance.

There’s a cable running from a truck to the boat holding it in place as a huge hydraulic jack carefully lifts the hulls off the concrete of the ramp and slowly moves the boat to the open waters of Roanoke Sound. As it begins to float, the craft drifts dangerously close to the wooden wharf on its port side and four men run to the end of the dock and lean into the boat, moving it just enough that it will float free without damaging anything.

Two tow boats wait, attach lines and tow the catamaran, nicknamed the H-2, to the deeper waters it needs to navigate. Noel Manheim, the captain, takes over, bringing the boat around the point to Wanchese Harbor where the finish work will be done.

It’s a pretty remarkable feat of navigation — the boat doesn’t have a rudder or thrusters yet, and Manheim maneuvers the craft using the engines in the two hulls.

The interior of the boat is a tribute to the Outer Banks artisans. The rich brown of wooden cabinets and passageways create a comfortable homelike feel. The galley looks more like a kitchen in a house than onboard a ship. There’s sleeping quarters for crew and passengers.

But for all its luxury appearance, the H-2 will be a working vessel.

Brian Schmitt, a real estate broker from Marathon, Florida, has been as he describes himself, “very successful,” and it’s his funds that built the boat. At 69 years old, he reflected on the lives of people he has known, and knew it is time to take a different path.

“I’ve watched my father and other people who I know and respect work until the day they died because that became their identity,” he said. “They didn’t do everything they wanted to do during their lives. So I built this boat … to force me to do what I know I want to do, which is to explore the world. It’s been something that I have always had a real yearning to do.”

In this case, though, it’s exploration with a purpose. As Schmitt explains, he’s going back to an earlier time in his life.

“My wife and I met in graduate school. I went to the Woods Hole Marine Biology lab. So my wife and I want to go back as much as we can,” he said. “We’re not going to be writing any scientific papers, but we certainly have an abiding interest in nature and seeing some of these places like the Galapagos and the Northwest Passage, Patagonia, and the Antarctic.”

The catamaran’s H-2 moniker is short for Hippocampus, and Schmitt’s science background becomes apparent as he explains the name.

“Hippocampus are the taxonomic genus of seahorses and were Poseidon’s mythical horses,” he said.

It’s his second H series boat. When the H-1, a 57-foot catamaran, was damaged by lightning in 2014, Schmitt started thinking about something bigger, a boat that would let him explore the world.

Felix Herrin, who built the H-1 in 2003 and now the H-2, describes what happened,

Form follows function, and as the function grew, so did the boat.

“It grew from 80 to 90 to 100 feet or 110 feet,” he said.

By 2017 they had a design, but didn’t know where they were going to build the boat.

“I wanted to build this boat in America versus China or Italy or the Netherlands. We wanted to use everything that we could that was made in America. That was important,” Schmitt said.

Wanchese came up because a former employee of Herrin’s was on the Outer Banks and thought the town might be a good site. Two weeks later he knew it was the right location.

“You get here and the community is wonderful. They help each other and they watch out for each other,” Herrin said.

Schmitt didn’t know about Wanchese before work began on the H-2, but he made it clear the village was the right place to build the boat.

“We were very lucky to land in Wanchese,” he said. “There’s a long standing boat building heritage here and a lot of skilled boat builders.”

It took several years from when the keel was first laid to get to launch day. And during that time, much of the work was done by a remarkably small crew.

Rob Ayers, who describes himself as a welder and fabricator by trade, was the build foreman for the project and as he points out there were very few people working on the catamaran.

“We built this boat with just three people over a three and a half year period,” he said. “The interior and the mechanical spaces and the engines, we ended up having to do most of that stuff ourselves as well because we had trouble finding vendors to help. So anyway, we ended up building, I’d say 90% was done by the guys that were on this project and working for Brian.”

Herrin said keeping the building crew small, and local, made for the best workmanship, “We were going to sub out the interior to (a shop) that specializes in interiors for yachts. And Brian was concerned that we would lose quality control if we went down that road,” he said. “So I took a deep breath and built a wood shop from scratch. Hired (local) carpenters and … they are artists. Just phenomenal work.”

Outer Banks town begs tourists to stop digging ‘extremely dangerous’ pits in NC beach

H oles deep enough for human burials are being found on Outer Banks beaches, and the coastal town of Kill Devil Hills is calling for beachgoers to stop or risk getting someone injured or killed.

“Today alone, our ocean rescue supervisor responded to three large holes dug/left on our beach. Yes, you read that right, three in one day — and it’s only March!” the department wrote in a March 13 Facebook post.

“We cannot stress this enough, digging large holes on the beach is extremely dangerous. Sand collapses occur in holes just a few feet deep. ... You are far more likely to experience a sand hole collapse than a shark attack.”

The warning was issued not long after video shared by the OBX Locals Facebook page showed a man standing in a neck-deep hole while continuing to dig with a shovel. The group has more than 22,000 members.

“Fools with a death wish,” wrote one commenter. “Who knows what could have happened to them or someone coming by later.”

Injuries and deaths have been attributed to holes left in Outer Banks beaches.

In May 2023, a 17-year-old Virginia boy was smothered and died after becoming “trapped under several feet of sand” near Frisco on the Outer Banks. The collapse happened at a hole dug into a sand dune, National Park Service officials said.

Still, beach digging is so common that Outer Banks towns such as Kill Devil Hills have established guidelines.

Holes shouldn’t be deeper than they are wide, and “children and adults should not dig holes deeper than their knees when standing in them,” police said. Holes should also be filled in before leaving the beach for the day.

“No one goes to the beach expecting to leave with a broken ankle or worse. Sand holes can cause numerous injuries to other beach-goers,” the department wrote.

“Sand holes make it challenging for first responders to quickly get to an emergency on the beach, and they can cause damage to the responders’ vehicles and create a secondary emergency.”
