AM DOLPHIN/HORSE WATCH
Adults $45 | $35 for kids 12 and under
Lookout Cruises offers a daily morning sail up the Newport River to a place where the dolphin comes to play year after year. These dolphins are familiar friends to Lookout Cruises. Recognized by their dorsal fins, we’ve even named a few! You can watch the dolphin playing together just a few feet from the boat in their natural habitat. We also see wild horses on their island. We join them every morning, and you can, too! This trip is great for adults and children of all ages.

The beauty of the Cape Lookout lighthouse and its pristine surroundings is unparalleled. You’ll really appreciate the stability and comfort of this 45-foot catamaran as we briskly make the six mile ocean voyage to one of the premier anchorages in America.
Our 6 hour cruise departs for the 1-1/2 hour sail to Cape Lookout where you’ll enjoy 3 hours at two different locations. For our first stop at the tip of Cape Lookout, we beach the boat and serve up a delicious catered lunch from the Beaufort Grocery Co. Restaurant. When you taste their signature sandwiches, salads and desserts, you’ll see why locals and visitors alike have made Beaufort Grocery Co. a favorite. On board stairs offer easy access on and off the boat for unbelievable swimming, snorkeling (bring your own equipment) and some of the best shelling on the East Coast. Large clean restrooms and a freshwater deck shower are provided. We then tie up at the government dock for our second stop allowing time to visit the Keeper’s Quarters museum, the National Park store and the east beach of South Core Banks. While here you can get spectacular photos of the Lighthouse.
