NHBM and Blue Bistro Launch “Into The Blue” Summer Cruise & Dining Experience on Lake Winnipesaukee

The New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) has launched a special summer collaboration with The Blue Bistro at The NASWA Resort: ‘Into The Blue.’ This unique experience invites guests to enjoy Lake Winnipesaukee with an evening cruise aboard the Miss Lauren, followed by a lakeside dinner at The Blue Bistro.

“‘Into The Blue’ is more than just a boat ride and dinner—it’s a celebration of the lake’s heritage and the spirit of summer in New Hampshire,” said Devon Kurtz, Executive Director of NHBM. “Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply seeking a relaxing night on the water, this collaboration brings together the best of boating and dining in one unforgettable evening.”

The one-hour scenic cruise takes place this summer on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings on the Miss Lauren, a crafted replica of a classic Hacker Craft boat. The journey begins at 5:15 p.m. from the NASWA Dock at 1086 Weirs Blvd, Laconia, NH. Complimentary parking is available in the two-level guest lot across the street, and guests may arrange a golf cart shuttle by calling NASWA’s front desk in advance.

After the cruise, guests will step directly into The Blue Bistro, renowned for its cuisine and “stunning” views of Lake Winnipesaukee. “The evening offers the perfect pairing of classic boating tradition and exceptional dining, creating a memorable experience for both locals and visitors,” added Kurtz. “With the growing popularity of Lake Winnipesaukee as a destination, this partnership offers a new way to experience its beauty and hospitality.
