Launched on Lake Winnipesaukee in 1945, the M/V Sophie C continues a long tradition of delivering postal mail to the lake's summer island residents. On each two hour cruise, she'll visit a number of different islands, while her Skipper points out areas of interest along the way.

On some islands Sophie's visit is the social event of the day, and island residents often come to the dock to say hello, and purchase an ice cream treat, snack or souvenir.

Don't forget to send a postcard home! Passengers are invited to fill out and mail postcards right on board, complete Sophie's own unique, collectible cancellation stamp!

• Times listed are departure times, and boarding will begin 30 minutes prior to departure and will continue until the cruise departure time.
• The vessel leaves on time, and late arrivals cannot be accommodated. For safety reasons, once the gangway is dropped the ship cannot return for tardy passengers.

Passengers seated on the outside decks are encouraged to bring sun protection.

All passengers are required to have a ticket, regardless of age.
