This is the first of five exclusive boat trips the American Lighthouse Foundation has partnered with Camden Harbor Cruises for in 2025 – come along and see some of the offshore lighthouses in Midcoast Maine!
Join us on Saturday, June 28th for a special 8-hour cruise aboard the Camden Harbor Cruise’s vessel, Periwinkle to see 7 lighthouses in southern Penobscot Bay, including Matinicus Rock. Lighthouses you will see include: Curtis Island, Indian Island, Rockland Breakwater, Owls Head, Browns Head, Heron Neck, and Matinicus Rock. You will also be able to view nesting Atlantic Puffins at Matinicus Rock Lighthouse, which is part of the Maine Coastal Islands Wildlife Refuge!
We will depart from the Camden Public Landing at 8:00am aboard the Camden Harbor Cruises’ vessel Periwinkle. We will return to the dock around 4:00pm.
We will spend approximately 30 minutes cruising around Matinicus Rock, which will provide ample time to view puffins and other nesting seabirds on the island. We will also cruise by Browns Head, Heron Neck, Owls Head, Rockland Breakwater, Indian Island, and Curtis Island lighthouses for close-up views during the trip.
In addition to the narration provided by the crew of the Periwinkle, an American Lighthouse Foundation representative will be onboard to share interesting lighthouse facts and tidbits.
