A photographer's dream! Join us to take in the changing colors of fall as we seek out five historic lighthouses on this hour and forty-five minute narrated cruise. Throughout the cruise informative details will be revealed as passengers closely cruise by Salem?s Pickering and Derby Light, Beverly?s Hospital Point Lighthouse, Marblehead?s Chandler Hover Lighthouse, and of course the famous yet isolated Bakers Island Light of the Misery Islands that can only be closely seen by boat. Warm up with a complementary cup of fresh clam chowder while you comfortably view the beautiful transition from summer to winter. (*please note - although September is one of our favorite months to be out on the water, there is little foliage color. Salem's best foliage is often see mid October).
