Take a Harbor Cruise on the 4th of July Week and Weekend with the Seaport Association

The Sheffield Island Lighthouse is an iconic symbol of Connecticut’s maritime history.  This historic lighthouse and light keeper’s cottage is located at the southern end of Norwalk’s necklace of islands on the west entrance of the Norwalk River in Long Island Sound. One of the best ways to kick of the season is to take a cruise on the C.J. Toth on Wednesday, July 1, Thursday, July 2, and Friday, July 3 at 11:30 a.m., 2 p.m. There will also be a sunset cruise on all three days beginning at 6:30 p.m.  Tickets for this exciting excursion must be purchased in advance by clicking here .

And, if you are looking to start a summer tradition or renew one, reserve your tickets for a fabulous 4th of July weekend ride with the Seaport Association this summer!  The boat will be going out on Saturday, July 4, and Sunday, July 5 at 12 noon, and at 3 p.m. and the sunset cruise will depart on both days at 6:30 p.m. For tickets click here.

This year the Seaport cruise will take you on a breathtaking tour of the outer Norwalk Harbor where passengers will get a birds-eye view of this active and fascinating place, from the water! The cruise will then take visitors on a cruise that will take them up close to three historic lighthouses that have protected the harbor for centuries. Have your camera at the ready for unique water views of Green's Ledge and Peck Ledge, two of only 33 remaining spark plug lighthouses in the United States. The real highlight of this cruise is to see Sheffield Island Lighthouse, Connecticut's iconic maritime treasure up close and from the water. Sheffield Island Lighthouse has been a beacon to mariners since 1868 and to see it from the water, like the mariners of old is a very special experience. 

If you can't make it on this cruise, no worries, the Seaport Association is running two daily cruises and one sunset cruise Wednesday - Sunday through August. All tickets must be purchased online in advance and all passengers must follow the Seaport's COVID protocols and must wear a mask. For the protocols click here.
