About Us
The future looks bright for Mount Washington Cruises. Times have changed and so has the "Mount". What used to be basically a summer attraction now operates May through October, offering Daytime Scenic, Evening Dinner/Dance and Special Theme cruises. In 1987 a new home port facility was built at Weirs Beach. This new building included an on-shore kitchen, expanded gift shop and modern offices. For the past ten years the "Mount" has been owned and operated by local individuals.
With a capacity of 1250 passengers, the Mount is a popular venue for school proms, college gatherings, and large corporate celebrations, not to mention all the tourists visiting New Hampshire. The Mount is a true fixture in the Lakes Region making the choice of where to get married an easy one. We estimate that over 700 happy couples have tied the knot on the Mount and many return to share the memories.
*Since 1872, *fewer than 20 individuals have served as Captain of the M/S Mount Washington. In total, our current Captains possess more than 100 years of experience in the wheelhouse. Along with dozens of dedicated employees each season, they help preserve the proud tradition of nautical travel on Lake Winnipesaukee.
