Wanchese Marina and Landing Grill
Located in Wanchese Village, North Carolina on Roanoke Island, Wanchese Marina is famous for its fishing culture, beautiful scenery and quick access to the awesome splendor of the Atlantic Ocean. The Village of Wanchese was named after Chief Wanchese who was the last known ruler of the Roanoke Native American tribe encountered by English colonists in the sixteenth century. Wanchese was also the very first fishing village on Roanoke Island.
Wanchese can easily be considered as home to the "true" character of the Outer Banks. Our village offers a salty, rusty and scenic atmosphere along with a truly memorable up-close and personal view of every day life on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Wanchese Marina is designed to cater to Outer Banks visitors and fishermen.

We offer a one of the finest fleets of professional charter fishermen and charter booking service, dolphin tours, dive charters, shrimp charters and even crabbing charters.
