Experience Maine aboard a beautiful 40′ sailboat and get a private tour of the restored Wood Island Lighthouse and Keepers House! Delight in the stories your captain and crew will share of the 8 fascinating islands of Saco Bay, the rich history of the Saco River and see the longest beach in Maine from the water. Disembark on Wood Island and travel the ½ mile wooden boardwalk from the boathouse to the lighthouse, as a lighthouse keeper would have done.
A tour guide from Friends of Wood Island Lighthouse (FOWIL) will lead your way on Wood Island and take you inside this spectacular Light Station. Ascend the 60 circular stairs of the lighthouse tower to the lantern room with its fabulous panoramic view. On a clear day you will see the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Explore the two story restored Light Keepers House with all its treasures and carefully researched period details.
