Our Story

The M/V Sophie C. is the oldest floating post office in the US. Each season she provides mail service on Lake Winnipesaukee. Catch a glimpse of lake life that can't be seen from the M/S Mount Washington. The M/V Sophie C. navigates smaller channels and waterways to provide postal service to the island residents of Lake Winnipesaukee. On each of her two daily mail runs, she'll visit a number of different islands, and the Skipper will point out areas of interest along the way. In addition to postal service, Sophie also has a collection of ice cream treats for sale. A daily visit to the dock for a snack is a summer tradition for many of her island friends. Passengers aboard the Sophie C. are invited to fill out Sophie C. postcards and mail them right on board, complete with Sophie's own unique, collectible cancellation stamp!
