The overwhelming sentiment here points to a genuinely enjoyable experience on Lake Winnipesaukee. Guests consistently praise the beautiful scenery and comfortable vessel, with the crew earning special recognition for being accommodating and courteous. The breakfast and dinner cruises seem particularly popular, with multiple travelers calling out surprisingly good buffet spreads and live entertainment that elevates the experience beyond a simple boat ride. A few practical considerations worth noting: the audio narration during the cruise can be difficult to hear in certain areas of the boat, so you might want to position yourself strategically if you're keen on learning the lake's history. Some reviewers suggest the brunch option offers more basic fare than expected, so consider whether you'd prefer to grab the cruise-only ticket and eat elsewhere. The spacious layout means there's plenty of room to move around, plus a bar for refreshments. It's clearly become a go-to for special occasions too, with the staff going above and beyond to help with proposals and celebrations, which speaks volumes about their attention to making experiences memorable.
Went for a Fall dinner cruise while on our long weekend getaway. Had a great time, they do a dinner Buffett and had a great band playing, The Bone Shakers. The cruise is three hours, and you go around the whole lake. Would definitely recommend.
