Shallowbag Bay Marina is a 75-slip marina located just off the intercoastal waterway in North Carolina's wonderful Outer Banks. The Outer Banks recreational area is one of the fastest growing coastal areas in the United States. The Outer Banks is characterized by barrier islands, natural beaches, sand dunes and beautiful marsh land areas.

The Catamaran Cruiser includes all of the bare necessities one needs and all the comforts to give you that home away from home feeling...including an outdoor charcoal grill within the community!!

Water Condo, Floating Cottage, Cabin on the Water are typical descriptions of Catamaran Cruisers' newest houseboat concept has arrived in MANTEO, NC! Thoughtful custom design and beautifully finished inside and out, the Catamaran Cruiser features an open and bright main salon, while the master stateroom features a panoramic water view and a private deck. 2020 Smart TV in living room! 170 sq feet of outdoor decking!

The shower on-board is there for your convenience, just be mindful of your use when you are able!
Hot water tank is 12 gallons and takes about 25 minutes to refill and therefore you may enjoy the amenities of in-ground plumbing at the easy to access just a few steps away clubhouse or ship store (total of 4 showers) if you enjoy longer showers and would rather all parties shower at the same time to expedite the getting ready process.
New technology toilet onboard for your use!

    Weather rocked the boat a little too much over night when trying to sleep but the place was great, super clean, nice. The club house facilities were also great.

    We had the best time staying on the Love Boat! Such a relaxing weekend. The weather was perfect! I read that the boat would lull you to sleep - it sure did! Best sleep in a long time! We ate at Stripers at the marina. Beautiful view and wonderful food. Make sure you visit Pirates Cove to see the fisherman bring in the Yellow-Fin Tuna.

    It was our first time staying on a boat. It was a good experience. The gentle movement on the water was very relaxing at night. Our plans focused mainly sightseeing on the island. The boat was a good home base and was central to good places to eat. We loved it.

    I wish I could have stayed longer! Really enjoyed sleeping on the boat and reading on the deck. It was quiet and very peaceful, which is exactly what I was looking for. The location is perfect for exploring the island. Very kind and responsive host.

    I loved how Gia the property owner was awesome she was so helpful and answered all my questions and gave lots of recommendations for my time here...the spot is perfect I loved the sway of the boat but if your given to being seasick you may want to bring some Dramamine which will help with any motion sickness we had a little wind but I personally liked the gentle sway..it put me right to sleep each night..waking up to step out with a cup of coffee and the sound of birds was awesome..the size is perfect for 2 the bed was comfy and we loved sitting outside and chatting in the serene surroundings.. a nice perk was the use of the pool table in the clubhouse...I would highly recommend staying here, The owner Gia is a very hands -on owner and the price for this time of year was worth it for the view and location..I hope to return again sometime..thank you Gia fir sharing your piece of heaven with us!

    We enjoyed staying on the Loveboat. It was cozy, clean and comfortable. We were looking for a quiet little refuge and this was perfect. Even though the weather was rainy, the Loveboat was warm and inviting. The small winds rocked the boat just enough to lull you to sleep. We hope to come back sometime.Stacey and John

    This was our first experience staying ON the water. Everything was perfect, except we couldn't use the toilet... This was obviously beyond the owner's control and there was facilities right next door in the clubhouse/pool area that we had access too. Definitely would stay again!!!

    My husband and I spent a spontaneous night away for Father's Day on the Love Boat and it was perfect. Manteo is such a cute little town with great shops, the aquarium, and a super cool English pub/brewery, The Lost Colony Tavern. Gia was an excellent host with amazing communication for our short notice trip. The boat was perfectly clean, the kayaks were easy to access and use, and we slept so well thanks to the gentle waves rocking the boat. 10/10 would recommend!
