Sunset cruises top the list worldwide as one of the most popular ways to end the day…so why not book a sunset cruise with the Norwalk Seaport Association this July and August. On a sunset cruise time seems to slow down giving you the opportunity to unwind and toast the end of the day.
The Seaport’s popular Sunset Cruise floats through scenic Norwalk Harbor as the Captain's Mate tells stories of merchants and sailors that have used this waterway for centuries. Learn how Native Americans introduced oysters to English settlers and how captains of industry used this area to develop trade routes that went as far as the West Indies. The narrative gives a new understanding of Norwalk historically, and also reflects the importance of this scenic harbor today.
As the vessel travels into Long Island Sound it will give passengers a close-up view of several of the Norwalk’s islands and the beautiful homes that are built on them. The cruise also passes three historic lighthouses, Peck’s, Green Ledge, and, the maritime icon of Connecticut, Sheffield Island Lighthouse. Architecturally stunning the Sheffield Island Lighthouse is a perfect example of Victorian stone masonry. Green Ledge and Peck’s are fine examples of sparkplug lighthouses, of which only 33 remain in the United States. The view of these three lighthouses up close as the sun begins to set is magical.
Guests will travel in safety and comfort with no more than 25 passengers on board the vessel owned by the Seaport Association that makes social distancing a breeze. Passengers can eat, drink, and be merry on the sunset cruise because alcoholic beverages and snacks are allowed, just don’t forget to bring cups and openers! For a fun fix, Wednesday – Sunday evenings at 6:30 p.m. a sunset cruise is a perfect way to step away from the hustle and bustle you find on land and enjoy a picture-perfect sunset...on the water.
