Fall boat tour

winterh · 08-17-2020, 04:08 PM

I have a young couple renting the weekend of Oct 16-19. Weather permitting they are looking for a boat tour. I would guess 2 hours or so would be more than enough. Goodhue ends rentals the week before and my boat will be in for the season. I checked on the Millie B and they didn't run at all this summer. Anyone have any ideas where they might get a tour?

That’s a bit late for any commercial entity to be operating as most, if not all marinas close business (for launching) after Columbus Day weekend. They are open, of course for their own business of dealing with customer’s boats for the winter storage season. Most owners have their boats out of the water by then although some will be operating later. You only hope might be a private concern that would do it out of the goodness of their heart but its unlikely as there would be insurance issues that would prohibit.
Good luck!

The MV Mount Washington should still be in operation at that time. 🐻

Maybe Wolfeboro Inn's "Winnipesaukee Belle"?

The Mount typically has her last run on Halloween.

Who knows in these crazy times !

1. Mount Washington.
2. How late does Sandy McKenzie run ? Wolfeboro mail boat/Gray Ghost. He might do a custom tour.
3.. Stand on the docks and wave $100 bills to"pay for gas"?

Thanks for the replies. It seems the Mt is the only one still running. Either due to late season or covid. probably best bet anyway as size and indoor area won't make weather as much an issue
