All Lighthouse Trips depart from and return to Journeys End Marina in Rockland Maine. I will schedule trips from around the end of May through the middle of September.

The weather is often much different out at sea. Be sure to bring a sweater ,jacket and rain coat. Binoculars and a camera are a must! Food and drinks are welcome. There is a bathroom on board, but it is best to use the facilities at the Marina before we depart.

A $200 deposit is needed at time of reservation. The balance is paid at the end of the trip. A check or credit card may be used for the deposit. Cash, check or a credit cards are welcome for the balance. You may cancel up to 7 days before the trip. A $15 processing fee will be deducted from the deposit. There is no refund of the deposit if you cancel 6 days or less before the date of the trip. If I cancel the trip, the full deposit will be refunded. Parking at the Marina is $20 a vehicle. Please see the ABOUT page for how to get to the Marina, where to unload and pay to park.

I can not guarantee I can always take over 6 passengers. This is because the Coast Guard requires a deckhand if I carry 7 or more passengers. You can book the trip, but I may have to cancel if a qualified deckhand is not available.

If it is too windy I will cancel the trip. I will hopefully be able to let you know at least 12 hours in advance. I will try and give you the option of going the next day.

FOG: Summer in Maine is about fog. It can come and go as it pleases. It can be clear in Rockland and foggy at the lighthouses. The reverse also happens. If I feel the fog is so thick and I do not think it will lift, I will cancel the trip. If the fog comes in while we are enroute, I will keep on going. You can almost always see the lighthouses in the fog, but it is not guaranteed.
