\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\tOuter Island Accents founder Joel Carlyle has spent much of his life on or beside the water. In 1994, Joel became a whitewater kayak instructor and river guide for Nantahala Outdoor Center. A couple of years later, he found a fascination with sailing and after many hours of reading and studying, built a small sailboat and taught himself how to sail in the afternoons on a small mountain lake.<\/p>\n
In the spring of 1998, Joel had the opportunity of a lifetime and joined a crew of three, for three months, to sail a 43′ sailboat from Hawaii to Australia. It was this trip that influenced him to find a larger boat of his own. In the fall of 1998, he moved to Carteret County to start a kayak instruction and guide service, found his boat and lived aboard while his business grew.<\/p>\n
During the first few winters of the kayak business, Joel found a great demand for boat and home maintenance, and after 5 years balancing the two, the demand suggested that he put all of the efforts into maintaining homes.<\/p>\n
With over two decades in this business, Joel still spends time paddling competitively in a few of the local races and still holds a 50-ton master sailor captain’s license and sails his 42′ steel schooner when possible.<\/p>\n
It’s with these unique experiences, sea time, and hands-on knowledge that makes the Outer Island Accents team a superior option for maintaining your waterfront or coastal home.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Outer Island Accents founder Joel Carlyle has spent much of his life on or beside the water.
