Nearly a century of craft. Still part of the coast

A vessel with a past — and a place here

Nearly a century of craft. Still part of the coast.

Launched in 1927, the Juniata carries the warmth of a classic mahogany cruiser into a new chapter on the North Carolina coast. At the helm is Capt. Joe, whose maritime experience and easygoing storytelling make the boat — and its history — part of the day.
