Lookout Cruises

Sailing Fun For the Whole Family!

Visitors can enjoy the Crystal Coast’s most coveted and hard-to-reach shorelines, or just embark on a breezy cruise of the open waters in search of dolphins and sunsets, with a trip that’s guided by Lookout Cruises. This local tour company that calls the central town of Beaufort its home port offers a far-reaching range of adventures that will have coastal fans of all ages soaking up the sun and enjoying the best of the Southern Outer Banks.

All trips are held onboard a 45’ ft. long catamaran with cushioned seating, lots of shade, large clean restrooms, and enough room for 42 passengers. This ship-shape vessel embarks on a wide range of cruises and adventures, which includes short sunset sails and moonlight sails that boast unbeatable views of the waterfront downtown region, as well as kid-approved dolphin watches where dorsal fins can be spotted just a few feet away from the boat.

For a true adventure, sign up for a Cape Lookout Cruise, which provides transport to the National Seashore, a catered lunch, and plenty of shelling and sightseeing opportunities. With so many explorations available, and so much water to cover, Lookout Cruises introduces newcomers to all the beauty and wild joys that this pristine parcel of North Carolina has to offer.

Whether it’s two people, a family outing, tour group or business party, Lookout Cruises offers a memorable sail on the NC Coast complete with cool breezes, saltwater and breathtaking scenery.
