WEIRS BEACH, NH – Let the boating season begin. With the successful completion of its annual inspection by the New Hampshire Departments of Safety, Marine and Fire Safety Divisions, the venerable M/S Mount Washington will return to its summer port of Weirs Beach on Tuesday May 4th and is ready to kick off its 2017 cruising season. “We’re looking forward to getting back out on the big lake and for a successful cruising season.” says Captain Jim Morash, General Manager of Mount Washington Cruises.
The New Hampshire Department of Safety annually inspects the vessels before issuing the cruise line its license to operate. “Safety is the number one priority with our vessels and our relationship with the Marine and Fire Safety Divisions is very important to us”, says Senior Captain Paul Smith. “We are in contact with them throughout the year and open to their suggestions in how to improve our operation in terms of safety. In addition we’re always making improvements and updating older systems with the newer technology available.”
Upholding a longstanding tradition, Mother’s Day Brunch Cruise, Sunday May 14th will be the first cruise available to the public. The two and a half hour scenic cruises, of Lake Winnipesaukee, feature a champagne brunch and entertainment for all ages. There are two brunch cruises to choose from: 10:00 am or 2:00 pm. Tickets are available for both.
“We’re also excited for our customers to see all the renovations the City of Laconia has made to the Weirs Beach area” added Captain Morash. “With new sidewalks, lights, and underground utilities, Lakeside Avenue will showcase a brighter, cleaner look to compliment the scenic beauty of the Weirs.”
The official 2017 daily cruising season for the M/S Mount Washington, and her sister vessels, run from May 20th until October 19th offering daily cruises from its summer port of Weirs Beach while servicing the ports of Alton Bay, Center Harbor, Meredith and Wolfeboro.
