LIGHTHOUSE CRUISE
Celebrating Maine’s maritime heritage
The Pemaquid Lighthouse is perhaps the most famous of all lighthouses in Maine and adorns the Maine state quarter. See the Pemaquid shoreline and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse as it was meant to be seen, from a boat on the water. The ride is quiet and comfortable, the narration is non-intrusive and the scenery is spectacular! Stop by our galley for some refreshments and a warm blanket before heading to the upper deck. This trip always receives the “Captains Choice” award. Whether it’s a late summer sunset, that perfect photo of the lighthouse or a pod of Harbor Porpoise, it’s the perfect end to a warm summer day on the Pemaquid Peninsula.
