THE FLEET

Large, Modern Lineup

Meredith Marina maintains one of the largest rental fleets on Lake Winnipesaukee, supplying current-model boats with reliable outboard engines for a smoother, more dependable week on the water.

THE WATER

Built for Touring and Watersports

The boats are configured for both relaxed touring of Winnipesaukee and active watersports, offering turn-key starts and built-in swim platforms with ladders for easy access to the lake.

THE EXPERIENCE

You’ll receive expert instruction from the rental team so you can take the helm confidently: the rental model is deliberately self-driven, with staff on hand to make sure you’re prepared.
