Lighthouse Cruise

Highlights / General details

Large and important parts of 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 and Boston Harbor Cruises are pleased to take you to them.

Expert members of the American Lighthouse Foundation narrate our tours. They 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, Hospital Point Light, Marblehead Light, Fort Pickering Light, Baker’s Island Light, Eastern Point Light, Ten Pound Island Light, Straits mouth 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 country.
