Haunted Winnipesaukee aboard the Winnipesaukee Belle

Dark water. Cold drinks. Unsolved mysteries.

This fall, step aboard the newly refurbished Winnipesaukee Belle for Haunted Winnipesaukee—a 90-minute evening cruise through the darkest, most unhinged history of New Hampshire’s largest lake.

Think Lake Winnipesaukee is all sunset cocktails and serene views? Think again. Scratch just an inch below that resort finish, and the water gets remarkably dark. We’re unearthing 18 tales of local horror, bizarre history, and genuine New England lore.

Enjoy custom, sinister cocktails from Tamworth Distillery—like The Graverobber, infused with syrup tapped directly from colonial graveyard maples—plus a mid-cruise dessert break so you can stretch your legs (and calm your pulse).

The Belle’s multi-year restoration is officially complete, her steel hull is tighter than ever, and we’re 90% sure we patched all the holes

Please note: This cruise includes a live actor reading ghost stories that take place on Lake Winnipesaukee. For the enjoyment of other guests, passengers are expected to remain quiet during the stories as they would for any other theatre performance. There will be times during the cruise where there are no performances, where you can converse with friends and family. I
