2025 CRUISES & TOURS
The only tour that goes inside the Lighthouse!

Bug Light Cruises offer a rare opportunity to experience the magic of an offshore lighthouse up close. Hop aboard for a two-hour excursion—including a scenic 20-minute boat ride each way and a full hour to explore Bug Light, a true East End treasure.

Feel free to bring a cooler and enjoy your own snacks and beverages as you cruise through our historic waters.

Bug Light stands as a shining symbol of our community’s commitment to preserving maritime heritage. The East End Seaport Museum proudly stewards the lighthouse structure, while the U.S. Coast Guard maintains its light. Every tour not only inspires and educates—it also helps fund vital restoration efforts to ensure this iconic landmark continues to shine for generations to come.

Learn the lighthouse’s fascinating history and lore from your guide. Many stories come from Bob Allen, the great-grandson of William H. Follett, lighthouse keeper from 1912 until 1940 who was stationed at Montauk Point, Cedar Island and the Long Beach Bar "Bug" Light stations. Bob’s father, Bill, quit school at a young age to help Bob's grandfather at Bug Light. Our guides share many of Bob’s stories and photos from his family's experiences.
