ABOUT ORIENTAL

Oriental was settled by Lewis B. Midyette in the 1870’s. Legend says that "Uncle Lew" anchored his sailboat in the protected waters of Oriental to escape a gale. He was sailing from New Bern back to his home in Dare County where he was a farmer and a fisherman. Storytellers claim that the next morning Lew went ashore and climbed a tree. He was captured by the beautiful landscape and all of the waterfront created by the many creeks. He returned home to persuade others to join his family in moving to the area.

Oriental, North Carolina

Oriental, a 19th Century fishing village on the Neuse River near the Pamlico Sound, has been known for decades as “North Carolina’s Sailing Capital”. At ICW marker 181, Oriental is a popular stop for cruising sailors on their trek north or south.

Home port for 900 people – and some 2,700 boats – Oriental is also coming to be known as “North Carolina’s In-shore Fishing Capital”, as anglers can find a wide variety of sport and game species present year-round.

The Neuse River, 5 miles wide at its mouth, provides unparalleled year-round sailing while the village offers a fine selection of shops, restaurants, inns, B&Bs, marinas, boatyards and brokerages. We think you will agree that Oriental is the perfect little town for a boat show.

Sailing out of Oriental NC?

• Add to quote

I have a four day charter coming up in a week out of Oriental North Carolina. I'd appreciate any tips from people familiar with the area. We prefer wild areas and anchorages, rather than marinas and towns. The charter operator suggested anchoring near the mouth of the North River. I'm wondering if it's feasible to make it from Oriental to Cedar Island Wildlife Refuge. If it is, is there any place to get to landfall by tender, or is it all marsh and mangrove? The operator said that the prevailing winds make a sail to Ocracoke a bit challenging and unpleasant. A trip to the Outerbanks and Cape Lookout seem to not be feasible in a four day charter.  

Solid recommendations from BristolBob: Especially the trip out to Lookout. Some other considerations for another trip: -New Bern is about 26 nm from Oriental. It is as interesting as Bellhaven and sometimes an easier sail if there are brisk winds on the sound end of the Neuse. -Turn Again Bay, just south of the bombing range and east of South River. I have anchored by marker #5 several times. Spectacular sunsets, sunrises, and very spectacular insects in-between. I rowed the old canal, do not have courage enough to try it with the boat. Occasional Marine/Navy airshow. -River Dunes Marina, a first class marina on lower Broad Creek. Broad Creek is also a very good sheltered anchorage. Hope that you enjoy the trip. regards charlie  

Would you share the name of the charter company and your experience with them when your charter is done? Thanks!!!!  

The Company is Bow to Stern Boating of Oriental. (Not to be confused with Bow to Stern Charters in Puget Sound). https://www.bowtosternboating.com/ So far they have had good customer service. Quick response, lots of emailed paperwork. The standard scary releases and contracts, and they have been great over the phone. A guy named Mark, who works for Owner Jim, spent a lot of time answering a long list of my annoying questions. So far so good.  

The Neuse River is a great cruising area. I agree with BristolBob and deisher's recommendations. Plenty to see. If you get to Turnagain Bay or Long Bay, take a dinghy ride through the "Old Canal" that connects them. And the fishing out at Cape Lookout this time of year is phenomenal.  

Pay attention to the weather. Some anchorages in these parts can be very exposed, like in the Cedar Island Wildlife refuge area. I anchored there last weekend but the weather was good. Still, the waves were in the 2 foot range and because the water there is shallow, dink ride to the beach was long. Take bug spray. We have seen lots of dolphins and heard their chatter all night. I am at a slip in Whitaker Creek till November if you need anything.

Do I need my own insurance to rent a boat?

You do not need boat insurance when renting with Boatsetter. Coverage is provided under the Peer-to-Peer Boat Rental Policy, which is underwritten by GEICO Marine Insurance Company. The policy was written from the ground up as a stand-alone recreational boat rental insurance policy covering the period of time that the boat is being rented and is available for all non-commercially insured boats.

Does Boatsetter screen renters?

Yes. We use a system called Cognito to ensure that payment information matches the renter's identity. We also require renters taking out a captained boat to be at least 18 years old and on a bareboat to be at least 25 years old.

Is listing my boat on Boatsetter free?

Yes! Listing a boat is completely free. We only take a commission when your boat is rented. We only make money when you do!

What if I'm not comfortable having a renter drive my boat?

If you are not comfortable having a renter drive your boat, we have an expansive network of licensed and experienced captains. Once your boat is listed, you can filter through our network of captains and favorite captains in your area that you would like to operate your boat.
