Our Buxton Fleet

Stilletto Catamaran
We love our Stiletto Catamarans – fast, stable, and shallow – take these cats to the sandbar for swimming, exploring, and playing – or for a romantic evening sunset sail. We still think this is the best boat in daysailing.

Classic Sabre Sloop
A classic yacht, Legacy is a Sabre 42 Sloop and she can take you on a romantic sunset sail or sail you to dinner in Hatteras Village. Overnight experiences and romatic weekend getaways are just right for Legacy.

Classic Deltaville Deadrise Powerboat
Interested in a Classic Deltaville Deadrise? Check out the Reel Perserverance – great fun for a short tour or a long day sail. Kids love to play and jump from this gorgeous Chesapeake style crabbing boat.
Outer Banks Sailing: Hatteras Island
What to Expect
Guest Testimonial
Expect to make Outer Banks Sailing from Hatteras Island your new vacation tradition. Our new location leaving from Buxton Harbor on Hatteras Island delivers adventure and memories you won’t forget. Fun for the whole family, our stable catamarans are roomy, stable and perfect for shallow Outer Banks sound-side sailing.
Plan to jump in, chill out, and kick back. Kids are welcome, grandpa’s are just fine also. Everyone enjoys this #SailStiletto experience. Sunset sails are our most popular experience.
Once in a lifetime experience. The search for your ultimate OBX vacation activity starts here. Captain J took my whole family out for a sunset cruise (5yr old and 7yr old). He provided us with not only stunning views of the July sunsets but an evening filled with memories and laughter. You want be sorry for placing this on your things to do list. Thx again Captain J for making my children a forever memory.

Reserve Your Sailing Charter On Cape Hatteras
Phillips Boatworks offers catamaran sailing charters on Hatteras Island in 2 hour and 4 hour experiences. We have a schedule that includes morning, afternoon, and sunset sails. Our most popular sails are the sunset sailing experiences. All our sails leave from our new location in Buxton at the historic fish house location in Buxton Harbor, 48926 NC Highway 12, Buxton, NC 27920
What is the advantage of a 4-hour sail?
The 4 hour sailing experience offer more time for swimming and exploring off the sailboat. Our catamarans are lightweight performance boats that are easily beached. On the 4hr sails, we typically pull the boat up on a sandbar so that our guests can hop off the boat, take a swim, harvest some clams, and learn more about the local soundside marine life.
Why choose the shorter 2-hour sail
The 2 hour sails are great for a relaxing sailboat ride. The scenery and experience is gorgeous. Because we sail, our tours are silent and perfect for videography, photography, and conversation. If you don’t need to hop into the water and just want to kick back and relax, the 2-hour sail is perfect for your group.
