Isles Tour & Star Island Walkabout

Only 5 1/2 miles from Rye lie the Isles of Shoals. This starkly remote group of nine islands is a natural habitat for many species of marine life and has a remarkable history. Relax on the boat as we cruise amongst the islands and learn about them from our expertly narrated tour.

After our Isles Tour, we will dock at Star Island for a “walkabout”. Take a step back in time as you relax in an Adirondack chair on the grand lawn of the late 1800’s Oceanic Hotel, walk the well-worn paths of the historic island town of Gosport, and listen to waves lapping and birds calling. When we arrive on the island, your captain’s narrated walking tour provides a chance to learn about the fascinating history of the island and see the stone chapel, old graveyard, fishing cottages and more. After the tour, or as soon as we dock since the guided tour is optional, there is time for you to relax and explore on your own. This trip provides an hour and twenty minutes on the island.
