Whether you're a new boater, new to the area or a non-boater with interest in our waterways, we hope you'll join us for this Introduction to Life on the Water in Carteret County.

In addition to answering any questions you may have about promotional pricing and rebates available on new models and Yamaha outboards, the Starling Marine team will be grilling up lunch and serving refreshments!
