Sunday Brunch Cruise

Enjoy the area’s biggest brunch buffet while taking in the beauty of southern Winnipesaukee. During this 2½ hour narrated trip from either Weirs Beach or Alton Bay, learn about the people and events that have shaped the lake's history, as you dine on a variety of breakfast and light luncheon items.

Not hungry for brunch? We offer tickets with and without the brunch buffet, and snacks and light fare are available for purchase.
