About Us
Our Captain
Hi, I’m Captain Chris, your licensed captain and host on
Lake Winnipesaukee.
With extensive knowledge of the lake, boating conditions, and the most scenic cruising routes departing from the Weirs Beach area, my goal is to deliver a smooth, safe, and elevated private charter experience tailored for groups who want to celebrate in style.
Whether you're planning a milestone birthday, bachelor or bachelorette celebration, anniversary celebration, or an exclusive day on the water with your closest friends, I handle the navigation, safety, and timing so your experience feels effortless from start to finish. The playlist is always customizable, the pace is yours to set, and the atmosphere is designed around your group.
Every charter is fully private and professionally operated, giving you exclusive access to the boat and the freedom to enjoy Lake Winnipesaukee comfortably, confidently, and responsibly.
Because the best celebrations aren’t rushed, they’re experienced.
100% Private Charters. Every Cardinal Charters booking is fully private. Your group never shares the boat with another party. Safety, professionalism, and responsible enjoyment are our top priorities on every Lake Winnipesaukee charter.
⚓ About the Boat
Your private charter experience takes place aboard a 24-foot luxury tritoon powered by a 300-horsepower engine, delivering smooth performance and a stable, confident ride across
Lake Winnipesaukee.
Designed with group energy in mind, the spacious open layout comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests, making it the perfect setting for families, birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette parties, anniversaries, sunset cruises and milestone gatherings. There’s plenty of room to spread out, mingle, toast and soak in the views.
A premium Bluetooth sound system keeps your playlist setting the tone, while the Bimini top provides shaded comfort when you want to cool off between celebrations. Whether you're cruising the shoreline, anchoring for a swim stop, or catching golden hour on the water, the atmosphere is entirely yours to create.
Spacious, powerful, and celebration-ready, this is your private stage on Lake Winnipesaukee.
All charters are captained by a licensed professional who knows Lake Winnipesaukee and its unique conditions.
