Lookout Cruises

We had the best time on the sunset cruise! It was the highlight of our trip! Captain Steve and Sarah made us feel so welcome! I highly recommend this cruise! I am sure that any of the cruises that they offer are great! We would love to do another one in the future!

What an experience this turned out to be! Almost missed the boat!! Captain Steve and first mate Sarah? made a night to remember! Good wine and priceless scenery! Put this on your list! Highly recommend!!!

It was one of the best parts of our trip! It was very relaxing and we were able to see the wild horses. Lunch was great and we were given plenty of time to swim or walk the beach. Steve is very knowledgeable about the area.

My husband and I took the 6 hour cruise to Cape Lookout.  The captain and crew were friendly and accommodating.  We had an excellent catered lunch and plenty of refreshments.  The first stop at the point of the cape offered shelling, swimming, and enjoying the beach.  We saw several dolphin playing in the water near the boat.  The second stop was in front of the lighthouse so that we could tour the museum and lighthouse.  There were about 26 people on our tour and did not feel crowded at all.  Will definitely do this tour again!

Our trip was excellent, the staff is wonderful! We enjoyed looking for shells on the beach. Then it was off to Cape Lookout lighthouse which was extremely interesting. Our lunch was good. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Great, friendly, knowledgeable crew. They were so patient with all the kids. We took our group of 12 people ranging from 2 to 71. We had so much fun!

An amazing opportunity to see smaller islands of the coast of North Carolina. If you are traveling to the area and want to do something different, would recommend!
We did the Cape Lookout Tour which is 6 hours long. The price is a little steep given how many people can be on the boat, but the food was plentiful and drinks were awesome! $3 alcohol and unlimited beverages.
The crew was very welcoming and did great at checking in on the patrons. They were very knowledgeable of the area and were a great host.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Value
Highly recommend Lookout Cruises for your boating adventure!! The crew was fantastic, lunch was excellent and the places we went were outstanding. Extra shout out to the crew for helping my mom when she did not feel well. Definitely plan on going again next time we visit!!

We had a wonderful experience on the Cape Lookout Cruise. Captain and first mate were excellent and attentive to everyone’s needs. Food was delicious. Weather was beautiful. 10/10 would recommend.

The 6 hour Cape Lookout cruise was an outstanding value! Capt. Steve and first mate Reagan were phenomenal hosts! We highly recommend this adventure!

Don’t let the price give you sticker shock, it’s worth every bit of it!! Great time from time we stepped on boat til we stepped off at end of day. Catered meal was excellent!! We had 4 adults and 5 kids.....everyone made great memories for a lifetime. (Wear sunscreen!).

The Lookout Sunset Cruise was GREAT… Captain Steve Bishop & crew were fantastic. Steve pointed out many points of interest along the cruise & we didn’t run into any pirates 🏴‍☠️… I’d highly recommend taking one of his cruises the next time you’re in Beaufort, NC.

We’ve celebrated anniversaries, birthdays, and this year Father’s Day with Lookout Cruises. They are amazing! Always professional, so accommodating to all guests, and they never disappoint. Truly grateful for all the memories over the years. The Cape Lookout day trip is still my favorite!

We had an amazing cruise yesterday beautiful time at beach and at the lighthouse. Delicious food. Good sail to and from . Thank you guys! Loved it!

Wooooow what an experience! We went to the sand dollar island and we saw horses, turtles, rays, sharks and sand dollars ! I will try to add the video of the sharks to the place. I definitely enjoyed it and the view and weather were amazing. I need to add to this review that the captain was really friendly and told us about the history of the islands and was a great tourist guy! I extremely recommend them

Have been on the sunset Cruise three times now and it's always a memorable experience. The captain and crew are always nice and courteous. The people who go on the cruise are generally exceptionally kind. Sometimes, you can see dolphins too! Would recommend!!

Fantastic value. Great sail to Lookout Point. Crew is very friendly and helpful. Lunch was great and we managed time for a swim at Cape Lookout National Seashore. Beer and wine available on board for only $2.00. Highly recommend this cruise for those who lie to get out on the water.

We took family out on Cape Lookout cruise. Captain Steve started off by taking an alternate route that avoided a storm. It played out perfectly. Trip to Lighthouse was a great time. We cruised over to a barrier island for shelling and everyone left with full bags. Our two kids didn't want to give up a beach day, but they were glad they did by day's end. Cruise was totally worth it! Excellent lunch, snacks and beverages all included. Beer and wine $2. Happy hour every hour. Great captain and crew.

We have taken the sunset and Cape Lookout cruises and really enjoyed them. The captain and first mate really treat you well and play awesome music.

What a fun way to spend the evening! See the sunset on a nice catamaran and finish up with some dinner at one of the restaurants on the water. We lucked out with a smaller group... perfect evening.

My husband and I have sailed with these terrific people several times. We have always gone on the midday trip and it includes a delicious meal. We sailed out to an island where we found beautiful shells in the edge of the water. On the way back the captain let me stand behind the wheel while he explained how to stay on course. The most courteous staff ever on this sailboat!
We want to go back and take a group from our church this time. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this guided trip!

I loved this cruise. I wasn't sure what to expect when I showed up, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was warm and friendly. Everyone was in good spirits and we saw wild ponies and dolphins. The sunset was incredible! Our captain was very personable and he educated us about the dangers of erosion to the islands around Beaufort. It was the most relaxing and enjoyable evening.

Went on the 9:20am-11:15am Dolphin Cruise this morning, and it was setting up to be a pretty nice day with the sun and clear skies to be out on the water. Despite this, my family did not enjoy our experience. I understand that they can't guarantee that you will see dolphins however after looking for the dolphins for a while the captain (Steve) admitted that they would be hard to find as it was extremely high tide today because of the time of day and the moon being in a fuller stage. This seemed dishonest to me, because despite them knowing the circumstances, they still took our money and didn

This trip is well worth the money, and then some. We arrived early and was directed where to park. While waiting we noticed dolphins jumping in the sound. The, very friendly crew kept us hydrated, fed us a great dinner, and dropped us off for some great snorkeling. There was much more, but don't want to spoil the whole thing. PS you can sit on the nets

We have been doing trips on the lookout for 17 years now, ever since our kids were little. Great boat, nice crew. Really great for adults or kids. I highly recommend the all day trip to Cape Lookout. We just did that trip again yesterday and it was both fun & relaxing.
