The Downeast Rover sails from early spring to late fall. Take an adventure-packed ride with a Coast Guard Licensed Captain on Outer Banks Jet Boats. The beginning of your adventure takes you on a search in the sound for dolphin, and they are usually pretty easy to find. Along your journey, you'll see osprey, pelicans, cormorants, gulls, ducks, and other wildlife. Tour Wanchese by water and explore a working fishing harbor, see old wrecks, and large and small fishing boats.
