Full Moon Lighthouse Boat Tours
NB: Please register at least 12 hours in advance.
For last-minute tickets, please call 203-444-2884.
Dusk is a beautiful and quiet time to be on the water. This lighthouse tour leaves New London as the sun goes down to view our local lighthouses at night, we they were built to be seen.
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 dates of the full moon and are timed to commence as the sun sets, June through October.
Best of all, all monies raised by NLMS go towards restoration of our local lighthouses.
Tours commence Wednesday, June 7 and run through October!
Remember: Reservations, 24 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.)
