Cottage Rentals & Boating on Lake Winnipesaukee

1: Permits & Safety

Permits

You must have a NH safe boating certificate or hold a hold a NASBLA approved certificate from another state if renting a boat with a motor in excess of 25 horsepower in NH.  If you don't have a certificate, the place you're renting from will probably administer a quick exam on site to obtain a 14-day Temporary Certificate.   Boat rental fleets are limited, so you should definitely call ahead to discuss your needs and make sure everything is in order.
14-Day NH Boating License

Safety (Course & Materials)

 Get a navigational chart & GPS.  With such a uniquely shaped lake and with over 365 islands of every size & shape, it's easy to become quite disoriented and lost. Like all lakes, LakeWinnipesaukee, Wentworth and the others have their fair share of shallows and areas with rocks hidden just beneath the surface.  It's important to know the current lake level, which has a seasonal 1-3 ft fluctuation & your boat's draft, when operating nearing these areas.
