Sunset Lighthouse Boat Tour
NB: Please sign up at least 8 hours in advance.
For last-minute tickets, please call 203-444-2884.
Twilight is a magical time to be on the water.
Local, Personable, Authentic. Explore the region's lighthouses -- as the sun sets -- with the one who knows them best.
There is every variety of lighthouses within easy reach of New London harbor. New London Maritime Society owns three of them, and each summer provides a variety of lighthouse boat tours from June through October.
Take a memorable one-hour ride to view the three picturesque lighthouses of New London Harbor: New London Harbor 'Pequot' Light a classic octagon, the oldest and tallest lighthouse on Long Island Sound; 1909 brick New London Ledge Light reputed home to Erie the ghost; and Avery Point Light built in 1943, the newest lighthouse in Connecticut. The boat takes six passengers, only. Trips coincide with the three days of the full moon.
Best of all, all monies raised by NLMS go towards restoration of our local lighthouses.
Tours commence Tuesday, June 26 and run through October!
Remember: Reservations, 8 hours in advance, are necessary for all of our tours, as we need to notify our captains. (If you want to take a chance with a day-of tour, please call 860-447-8700.)

At that point, make a quick hairpin turn by taking a left over the train tracks, and another left onto Waterfront Park. There is a place to park on the right-hand side at the road. I will be there to greet you a few minutes before we take off.
