Sunapee Cruises offers scenic boat tours on Lake Sunapee, providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all ages. The breathtaking lake views feature many beautiful homes along the shore. Guests can choose from a simple scenic lake tour or a dinner cruise option. The scenic tour is a very enjoyable ride lasting exactly 90 minutes. The captain shares interesting facts about the lake and houses, with light background music playing. Seating is available on the ground level at tables or on the upper deck in chairs, though the top deck is in direct sun. The crew is friendly, nice, and helpful. Tickets can be bought online, and boarding starts 15-20 minutes before departure. The boat has a bathroom, and a full bar with drinks and snacks is available for purchase. The dinner cruise is a pleasant experience with a smooth boarding process. It includes a two-hour ride and a delicious buffet dinner, featuring items like prime rib and stuffed chicken breast, with staff accommodating food allergies. Drink orders are taken promptly by bartenders. While narration can be difficult to hear during dinner, there is plenty of space to go outside on the upper decks. The dinner cruise is described as a great value and a super fun activity, perfect for group events like a rehearsal dinner or a girls' weekend, with many guests finding it a unique and great venue. Both cruises come highly recommended.
This was our third time taking a dinner cruise on the lake. Very relaxing. Great server (shout out to Bristol). Food is always good and so are the views.

Nice cruise. Quieter than I expected. Peaceful boat ride. There was a couple having a wedding celebration and reception on a neighboring boat there. Overall, it was nice but quite pricey.

Three of us sailed with Captain Pete on the 2:00 scenic tour today. Every staff member was polite and friendly. Captain Pete was super personable and extremely knowledgeable about the lake. I’ve lived in NH my entire life and never knew that Lake Sunapee had such a rich history! 10/10
