Where We Go

  • Braun Bay: The undisputed social hub of the lake. Perfect for high-energy groups and meeting other boaters.

  • West Alton Sandbar: A slightly more relaxed vibe with crystal clear water and incredible mountain views.

  • Paugus Bay: Great for a quick social cruise or hitting the waterfront restaurants near Weirs Beach.

The Ultimate Lake Day Experience

Skip the hassle of navigating the crowds and anchoring yourself. Whether you’re looking to join the legendary party at Braun Bay or prefer a more chilled afternoon at the West Alton Sandbar, Cardinal Charters gets you there in style.

Our brand-new 2026 Viaggio Tritoon is the perfect social platform for up to 10-12 guests. With a massive swim platform, premium Bluetooth sound, and a 300HP Suzuki motor, we spend less time cruising and more time at the sandbar.

Why Book a Social Charter?

  • Captain Included: Stay safe and legal while you enjoy the day. No driving, no docking, no stress.

  • All-Inclusive Fuel: The price you see is the price you pay.

  • Local Expertise: We know the lake’s water levels and the best spots to anchor for the perfect vibe.

Tailor Your Day: Premium Enhancements

While our standard charter provides everything required for a flawless day on Lake Winnipesaukee, you can elevate your reservation at checkout with these curated additions:

The Captain's Cooler Service (Yeti Tundra Haul)

Forget lugging heavy, leaking coolers down the marina dock. We will pre-chill and fully ice down a premium Yeti Tundra Haul before you even step aboard. Simply hand over your beverages when you arrive, and the captain will handle the heavy lifting. Genuine hospitality means your only job is to relax.

The Avalon Swim Platform

Extend your luxury real estate right onto the water. This premium 7’x7’ inflatable dock tethers directly to the Viaggio, creating a massive, stable floating patio. It is the ultimate upgrade for sandbar socials, giving your group nearly 50 square feet of private space to sunbathe, mingle, and stretch out on the water.

2-Person Towable Tube

Whether you are looking for a gentle, laugh-filled pull across the wake for younger kids, or a more active, carved-out ride for the teenagers, the captain tailors the speed exactly to your group's comfort level. We handle all the rigging, inflation, and safety monitoring meaning parents get to sit back, relax on the deck, and simply enjoy watching the action.
