Whether you live in New Hampshire or just visiting, it's a must to take a trip on the Mount Washington. It's a great way to tour the lake and get a bit of history all in a relaxing manner. After all, this ship is a true New Hampshire icon.

Lake Winnipesaukee is beautiful and this is a perfect way to spend a nice relaxing afternoon. You get some good history information and can enjoy time on the water which to me doesn't get any better than that. We went during the summer and it was beautiful looking at the lakefront homes, trees and animals as we went on this... More

I take visitors on the Mt. Washington to give them a chance to see "The Big Lake" as Winnipesaukee is known around here. It's a nice ride if you just want to relax and watch the trees go by. Obviously it is best in the fall when the foliage turns.

We enjoyed our chance to get out on Lake Winnipesaukee. It is fun to watch the shore and see the houses and boats on the lake. If you don´t like being on the top deck with the wind in your hair, there is a nice sheltered space where you can sit.

If you go on a night that they have a band playing and a buffet meal, it is well worth the cost of the cruise. Lake Winnipesaukee is such a beautiful lake and if there is a beautiful sunset or a full moon, you will remember your night out for many years to come.

A great way to explore the lake. And of course the scenery is beautiful, all season long. They have a variety of cruise themes. but I have to admit, It's kind of long.

Nice boat ride to see some fall foliage. Boat was comfortable with eating facilities. Cost was reasonable. Ask for senior discount!

My most recent trip was a dinner cruise. It was very enjoyable and the food wasnt decent. I would do it again because it is such a beautiful trip. If only the cruise was longer. It is also crazy how much they have jacked up the price for this. Not only was the cruise overpriced but the drinks were overpriced... More

The ship is great and the crew competent but over the top. $48pp to go from Wolfeboro to Weirs Beach and back. I spoke with the Captain who said they carry a staff of 15-17. Seriously??? We took a 2 hour Jet Ferry from Boston Harbor to the Cape that had a staff of 6 with same number of passengers.... More

The price of a daytime cruise is $29 for 1 adult and $13 for a child, Sunday Brunch, including cruise, is $45 and Dinner Dance Cruises are from $45–51 (includes a buffet dinner). A cruise from Wolfeboro to Weirs Beach and back would have cost $27 in 2012. The 2013 season is just starting up. This person is confused about... More

My husband and I had been staying at a lake house rental for over a week before we took this cruise and wow, it was the highlight of the entire trip! We started out from Wolfeboro Wharf and it was overcast and dreary, but by Weirs Beach the sun had come out! No matter the dreariness, the views of the... More
