Lake Life Done Right
Nestled in a quiet cove on Lake Winnipesaukee, Carefree Boat Club in Meredith—formerly Shep Brown’s Boat Basin—has welcomed boaters since 1919. Just ten miles from Weirs Beach and steps from Meredith’s charming downtown, it’s the perfect spot to launch your lake day. Start your morning with coffee at Mello Moose and breakfast at Sunshine & Pa’s before browsing Mill Falls Marketplace, 603 Paws, or Little Dog Paper Co. Cruise over to Paugus Bay to anchor and relax, or head inland to explore Castle in the Clouds or hike Mount Major for stunning views. From lakeside dinners at Lago or Canoe to sweet treats at Kellerhaus and Lee’s Candy Kitchen, the area is full of local flavor. Catch a movie at Barnz’s, sample craft brews at Twin Barns Brewing, or try your hand at Crack the Code escape room. Goodhue’s own events—like Ladies Surf Night and Foil Fridays—make lake life even more fun. Whether you’re here for watersports, shopping, dining, or unwinding, Meredith delivers unforgettable days for everyone—including your four-legged crew.
How Carefree Boat Club Works
We make the boating life fun and easy! Owning a boat is a lot of work and costs add up quickly. At Carefree Boat Club, you get all the benefits of boating without the hassle. Our affordable membership options connect you with the boats you want and get you out on the water with family and friends sightseeing, swimming, wakeboarding, fishing, and more while we handle the logistics and maintenance.
