With a perfect track record across hundreds of reviews, this outfit delivers consistently exceptional sailing experiences around Beaufort's waterways. Captain Robert gets enthusiastic shoutouts for making trips fun and memorable, while the entire crew earns praise for being professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout. The comfortable catamaran provides a stable platform for everything from sunset cruises to full six-hour tours. Dolphins steal the show on most trips, with guests losing count of sightings. The longer excursions include stops at Cape Lookout lighthouse and opportunities to spot wild horses on the islands. Many visitors rave about sitting in the boat's net during sunset sails, calling it a highlight of their Beaufort visit. Complimentary beverages flow freely, music sets the mood, and captains share engaging historical commentary about the area. Return customers are common, with families booking repeatedly for both daytime adventures and gorgeous evening cruises.
We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise with Lookout Cruises! Captain Robert and the crew were friendly, fun, accommodating, and made it a truly memorable time. The boat was very spacious with lots of seating options, they had a great drink selection, and the time out on the water was smooth and relaxing. Amazing views of the sunset! We especially wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the entire crew and booking agent for making it a very special experience for our young daughter. She is about to be listed for a heart transplant and this was a last fun vacation weekend for her before then. They went above and beyond…. from asking us what her interests and likes were when booking the cruise, to gifting her the sweetest basket of goodies on the boat, playing some of her favorite songs, and allowing her to help the captain drive the boat. She had the BEST time and asked if we could come back everyday. We highly recommend booking a cruise with Lookout Cruises Sail Boats, you won’t be disappointed 🛥️ 🌅 ☺️ Thank you again to everyone!
