Friends of Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouses is offering two Sunset Lighthouses Cruises in June 2024.

The cruises on June 21 and 28 will start at 7:00 p.m. and will return about 9:30 p.m. They will be aboard the M/V Granite State, departing from Rye Harbor on Route 1A in Rye, NH. Rye Harbor State Marina is on Route 1A in Rye, New Hampshire. Click here for directions.

The cruises will pass close to Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, Whaleback Lighthouse, and White Island Lighthouse in the Isles of Shoals. The narrator will be lighthouse historian/author Jeremy D’Entremont, and there will be raffles on board with great prizes. There is a snack bar on board the vessel.

Tickets are $40 per person

We ask that you plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the cruise. There is a large parking lot at the Rye Harbor State Marina, and the State of NH charges a $5 parking fee. Look for the MV Granite State at the dock. You will be checked in as you board the vessel.

In the event that the cruise has to be canceled due to the weather, we will make every effort to notify everyone as early as possible by email. A cancellation notice will also be posted on this page and on our Facebook page. If a cruise has to be canceled due to weather or sea conditions, the purchase price will be refunded in full. Otherwise, cruise tickets are non-refundable.
