2025 Cruise and Tour to Green's Ledge and Sheffield Island Lighthouse

Capacity is limited to 48 passengers.

We’re thrilled to announce that we are partnering with Greens Ledge Lighthouse with the unique opportunity to tour both Sheffield Island Lighthouse as well as Greens Ledge Lighthouse!

A little bit about Greens Ledge Lighthouse. It was first proposed in 1889 to help mariners through the west entrance to Norwalk Harbor, Greens Ledge Light was constructed at the western end of a long and dangerous shoal extending from Sheffield Island. Completed in 1902, Greens Ledge Light towers nearly 100 feet above Long Island Sound. In 1933, more than 30,000 tons of protective rocks from the excavation of Radio City Music Hall were added to the riprap foundation. Over one hundred years later Greens Ledge Light continues to shine as an active aid to navigation. Greens Ledge has just completed a massive renovation project and reopened to the public in 2022.
