Overview

Boston Lighthouse Cruise - 5 Hours

Northern Lights Tour - Narrated

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 and New England's heritage are the lighthouses which once kept sailors from navigating too close to shore. Many of these structures remain standing and in use today.

Our Northern Lights tours are narrated by lighthouse expert Doug Bingham of the American Lighthouse Foundation, or by other members of the foundation.

Cruise begins in Boston with passes by Long Island Head Light and Deer Island Light, and then passes near Boston Light, the oldest lighthouse station in America. Heading north, the tour will pass by several sites including Graves Light, Hospital Point Light, Marblehead Light, Fort Pickering Light, Bakers Island Light, Eastern Point Light, Ten Pound Island Light, Straitsmouth Island Light and more.

The Northern Lights tour culminates with a view of Thacher Island, site of the only still operating twin lighthouses left in the entire country
