There’s nothing more relaxing than spending a summer afternoon on a lake, and it’s a special treat to enjoy the water from a boat. Of course, boats are pricey! Luckily, you can take a gorgeous cruise around beautiful Lake Sunapee without emptying your wallet thanks to Sunapee Cruises.
Sunapee Cruises is a family-run company located right in the heart of Sunapee Harbor - their two boats are a familiar sight on the lake.
