Influencer Partnership Program

Let the sea carry your story.

About the Program

Are you a content creator who loves the ocean, adventure, and sharing unforgettable experiences with your audience? We’re always looking to collaborate with storytellers who align with our passion for sailing, wildlife, and the natural beauty of the Crystal Coast.

Join our Lookout Cruises Influencer Program and become a part of our growing community of creators who help us inspire more people to experience the magic of Beaufort, NC from the water.

What We Offer

Complimentary cruise experiences (Cape Lookout, Dolphin & Horse Watching, Sunset Cruises, or Private Charters)
✅ Early access to seasonal events
✅ Exposure through our social media channels and website
✅ Exclusive Lookout merchandise
✅ The opportunity to create content in one of the most scenic coastal destinations on the East Coast

What We’re Looking For

We’re selective about who we collaborate with because our guest experience and brand integrity come first. We’re looking for creators who:

  • Have a minimum of 10,000 organic followers on their main platform

  • Create high-quality, original content (photos, Reels, TikToks, blogs, etc.)

  • Have an engaged audience (not just numbers—we review interaction quality and authenticity)

  • Align with our values: respect for nature, joy in the small moments, and a welcoming spirit

  • Are based in or visiting Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, or the Crystal Coast area

👉 We review audience authenticity carefully. Accounts with purchased or inauthentic followers will not be considered.

Bonus Points If You…

  • Have worked with tourism boards or travel brands before

  • Know how to shoot video and edit short-form content

  • Have a blog, YouTube channel, or newsletter list

  • Speak both English and Spanish (we love bilingual creators!)

How to Apply

  • To be considered, please fill out the form below and tell us a bit about yourself and your audience. Be sure to include links to your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or blog, and let us know why you’d love to sail with us.

Please Note:

  • We receive many requests and cannot accommodate everyone. Only selected applicants will be contacted. No cash compensation is provided. Collaborations are based on mutual value exchange and creative alignment.
