The M/V (motor vessel) Thomas Laighton was named for a famous “Shoaler”, politician and businessman. As keeper of the Isles of Shoals Lighthouse with his family on White Island, Thomas Laighton later founded the Appledore House Hotel. This began the resort era of the Isles of Shoals and NH seacoast in the mid 19th century.

The M/V Thomas Laighton is a 90’ vessel with three decks which is certified to carry up to 340 passengers. There are two enclosed cabins and an open air sundeck. We carry up to 150 guests for a seated dinner and up to 275 guests for a cocktail style cruise. We limit sightseeing cruises to 275 guests as well for comfort. The Thomas Laighton features three full bars, one on each level. It is US Coast Guard certified and inspected and operated by licensed and experienced captains and a friendly crew. The vessel is handicap accessible.
