About Us

Step aboard Ellen Ripley, our 38-ft all-electric catamaran, and discover the magic of sailing the Roanoke Sound. Departing from Manteo, NC, Native Island offers one-of-a-kind sailing charters on the Outer Banks’ only zero-emissions vessel — fully powered by renewable energy.

Smooth. Silent. Powered by nature.

We are committed to promoting sustainability and environmental awareness. Our goal is to inspire positive change by demonstrating how small changes in our daily lives can have a big impact on our marine environment. 

By sailing with us, you are choosing to "Go Native" and take an active role in protecting the marine ecosystem.
