Since 1995
History
Lookout Cruises has been a cornerstone of coastal exploration in the Crystal Coast since 1995. Founded by Captain Steve Bishop, the company flourished under his leadership for an impressive 28 years. During this time, Lookout Cruises became a premier name in boat tourism in the region, a testament to Captain Bishop’s dedication and vision.
As the sun began to set on Captain Bishop’s illustrious career, he decided it was time to pass the torch and enjoy a well-deserved retirement. Then, Captain Robert Morris, once a young deckhand working alongside Captain Bishop, stepped forward to continue the legacy they had built together.
Having spent his formative years working for Captain Bishop, Robert developed a deep affection for the coastal waters and a dream of returning to his hometown to own the vessel he had fondly served on as a young man. With a warm heart and a dedication to exceptional customer service, Robert took the helm of Lookout Cruises, now the proud owner, with a mission to elevate it to new heights.
Captain Robert Morris, a seasoned professional mariner with over two decades of experience, brought expertise to Lookout Cruises. His career had seen him at the helm of large vessels, including cruise ships, luxury yachts, and even ships for the offshore oil industry. With his extensive background in maritime operations, Captain Robert was well-prepared to take the reins.
His return to his coastal hometown was marked by a profound love for the sea and a deep commitment to offering exceptional experiences. Under Captain Robert’s leadership, Lookout Cruises remains dedicated to providing outstanding adventures on the water.
