Welcome Back!! For 2023 the Winni Marine Valet program continues to be the best run, most convenient method to boat on Lake Winnipesaukee. Last year’s program went very well and there were lots of happy families out on the BIG Lake enjoying sunny days with friends and family. This year will be even better as we’ve added several enhancements to the Valet program for 2023
Valet launch requests MUST be made through our BoatCloud valet application. This smart phone or computer based program has been a HUGE tool to organize our valet system. The program will allow you to select available launch times. The program requires 2 business hours’ notice for each launch no matter what time the request is made (for example, a request made at 4:00 PM would launch at 9:00 AM the next day, or a request made at 8am would launch that day at 10am). Plan ahead as popular launch times will fill up during holidays or real hot weekends. You can make a launch request up to two weeks before your desired launch date. If a valet customer’s valet boat is launched on time, and the valet customer is not present within one-half (1/2) hour, the boat may be set back into the valet racks and cannot be relaunched till the next available launch time.
You will be emailed an invite from BoatCloud to create an account. You can login into the system from your computer or download the app for your Apple or Android Phone.

For the safety of our young boaters- It is Winnisquam Marine policy that all children under 13 years of age need to wear a PFD (personal flotation device) life jacket before stepping onto our dock system. We all want our children to be enjoying the lake life safely. It is also NH State law once the child is in a boat.
When you arrive at the marina there is an unloading zone by the Ship’s Store for your convenience. This will be convenient especially if you have a large amount of gear. You can park there while unloading gear and passengers. Once you are done unloading please park your car in an appropriate parking spot.
We have purchased additional golf carts and hired additional drivers. Whether you choose to unload gear first or park, we will have the carts assisting you in getting down to the valet docks. Please be reasonable with the amount of gear you want to transport down from the parking areas.
Please try to car pool when possible as there is limited parking on busy weekends. For the early birds there is some limited parking along boathouse #9 by the Ship’s Store waterfront. There is signage for four temporary parking spots reserved for drop-offs and Ship’s Store patrons. The next parking area is slightly up the hill in the covered steel building #13 and the area across from it alongside the railroad tracks. The parking spots inside the building stay nice and cool on those hot, sunny days. Next up is to head over the railroad track crossing and park alongside the woods across from the new boat storage/valet building #11. We have regraded and finished off this area for overflow parking. This is where you’ll catch the golf carts patrolling to pick up valet customers. Please don’t ever obstruct the paved road as that is the runway we use all day to launch and retrieve your valet boat.
A very important question! You will definitely earn brownie points when you notify us of a valet launch cancelation up to 2 hours before the scheduled launch time. If less than two hours please call 603-366-4801 X Ship Store and let the Valet Coordinator know you need to cancel. The app will not allow any changes within 2 hours of a scheduled launch.
Both Very Bad!! Per our signed valet contract these are both counted as “strikes” in our 3 strike rules. It is always best to cancel a launch by the app or call. Your boat ends up being handled twice in returning to the boat racks. And all water space is at a premium these days
Absolutely- some of our valet staff does not leave until there are enough vacant valet parking spots at the dock for all the valet boats out on the lake to return and tie-up. Please make sure you put into the app your return date to port. That way staff can accurate account for how many boats coming back each night.
Please make sure that you have the scheduled launches the days you need your boat in the water. It is up to the valet staff to determine if there is enough space in water to keep the boat there overnight. During busy periods it is not possible to leave boats in the water overnight.
If your boat is in a spot that you do not feel comfortable navigating, please inform the valet staff that you need assistance. That’s why they are there, and are happy to assist you. They like boats too!!
Yes, at the end of the day please cover your boat entirely without the canvas poles up. There is a $50 fee to cover your boat per our signed valet contract.
Leave them in the off position in the boat during regular business hours. Place them in the drop box by the Parts & Service entrance after hours.
We may not be able to accommodate you leaving the boat to use later during the day. During peak periods there are not enough open slips at the marina. Please plan ahead. You are welcome to come back and temporarily park to pick-up guests. Please ask valet coordinator in ship store for options.
We do not automatically fill up your gas. You can pull up to our gas dock before you head out to the lake or after. We have the best prices on the lake, newest gas, and it has Valvtect gas!
Want to add an additional authorized user to your valet boat ie spouse or family members. No problem, simple fill out this form ‘Add Authorized User’ and they will be add to the valet app.
