As we cruise, our knowledgeable captain will point out interesting landmarks and share stories about the area's rich maritime history.

Coastal Wildlife Spotting

Although we're not targeting specific species on this cruise, the waters around Cape Lookout are teeming with marine life. Keep an eye out for Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, which are often seen in these parts year-round. They love to ride the bow waves and put on a show for our guests. During the warmer months, you might catch a glimpse of sea turtles surfacing for air or even a majestic manta ray gliding beneath the waves.

Birdwatchers will be in heaven, with opportunities to spot pelicans, ospreys, and various shorebirds. In the fall and winter, look for migratory waterfowl like buffleheads and mergansers taking refuge in the protected sounds. The area is also home to a variety of fish species, from the acrobatic flying fish to schools of mullet that sometimes leap from the water en masse – a truly spectacular sight!
