The Roanoke Island Maritime Museum is located in downtown Manteo on the waterfront. The Museum is the former and historic George Washington Creef Boathouse.
Creef was a local builder who developed the shad boat, a fishing vessel designed especially for local waters. She was build sturdy to withstand rough sound waters. The shad boat also was built wide to carry lots of cargo and sports a shallow draft. The shad boat eventually was named the North Carolina state boat, and you can see the real deal at the Museum. They have small watercraft on display to represent the area’s maritime heritage. This includes an 1883 shad boat, a clipper yawl boat and a1960s hydroplane that locals once used in racing.
The Museum also is a working boat shop. It is the site where Roanoke Island Festival Park’s Elizabeth II was built, which is a composite replica of the ship, Elizabeth, which came from England to the island in the 1500s. The boathouse also is where eight Optimist Prams were built by volunteers in 2001 for the Museum’s Youth Sailing Program. Artisans work projects at the Museum including boat restoration and construction. Summers find the boathouse to be the perfect site for sailing programs. Call them for details. You can visit the Museum year round.

This year, the Duck Jazz Festival proudly reaches its 16th anniversary, and with it, we unveil our artistic vision:“Duck Grooves: The Sound of Jazz,” is an electrifying celebration of jazz’s dynamic, ever-evolving nature, set against the stunning backdrop of the Currituck Sound. It’s a fusion of past, present, and future, where the timeless traditions of jazz intersect with the vibrancy of new, innovative sounds. Just as the sound of jazz flows and adapts, so too does the landscape of Duck where the rhythm of the music harmonizes with the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding environment.
Vacationers adore the Outer Banks for its unspoiled stretches of undeveloped shoreline, and some may not initially realize that this sporadic lack of development is completely intentional, and is the result of decades of careful environmental planning. While tourism flourished on the beaches, for generations, locals and visitors alike made inquiries and partnerships with government branches to ensure that certain areas of the Outer Banks would always remain pristine, unspoiled, and open to everyone.
