Lighthouse Cruise

Description:

Thoughts of the New England shoreline often conjure up visions of rocky outcrops, sandy beaches and grassy marshes. Other classic images gracing our region's coastline are the lighthouses which once kept sailors from navigating too close to shore.

Expert members of the American Lighthouse Foundation will narrate your tour.

The Northern tour will begin in Boston with passes by Long Island Head Light and Deer Island Light, and then a pass by Boston Light, the oldest lighthouse station in America. Heading north, the tour will pass by Graves Light, Minots Ledge Light, Marblehead Light, Fort Pickering Light, Baker's Island Light, Eastern Point Light, Dog Bar Light, Ten Pound Island Light, Straitsmouth Island Light and more. Your tour culminates with a view of Thacher Island, site of the only still operating twin lighthouses left in the country.

The Southern tour will begin in Boston with passes by Long Island Head Light and Deer Island Light, and then a pass by Boston Light, the oldest lighthouse station in America. The tour will then pass by Graves Light, Minots Ledge Light, Situate Light, Gurnett Point Light (Plymouth Head Light), Duxbury Pier Light (Bug Light), and Mayflower Ship Light.
