    We had a FABULOUS time boating with Captain Ted! Your tours are always a highlight of our annual trip to Lake George! Ted is welcoming, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the gorgeous area. The boys LOVED wearing the Captains hat and 'driving' the boat! So grateful to have toured with your company again this season! See you next time! -the Clyde Clan

    We had a great experience with Bolton Boat Tours! We booked a 2 hour trip that included sightseeing,tubing,swimming,and rock wall jumping! Bring a cooler and snacks and let the experienced crew do the rest. Easy booking and communication as well

    Great morning on the lake with Captain Ted. Loved the history and facts Ted reviews while heading out to various activities during your trip. Kids loved the tubing and hanging out in the cove. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lake George.

    We decided to change our beach vacation into a lake vacation due to COVID. I am so glad we did. We decided to do a lake tour. We met Captain Ted and he was great. So knowledgeable about the area. We got to see the beautiful homes, went tubing, our daughter went cliff jumping and we relaxed. I loved that we were the only ones on the boat and were able to have a great time and social distance. I would highly recommend.

    As good as it gets! This is the 1st year that we chartered boats from this company. We did a 3hour tour which was amazing. The boat was really nice and super clean. We were a family of 4 adults and two kids under 4. the trip was absolutely fantastic! The boat was fast, comfortable and spacious. Plenty of room for 6 people. But what sets Bolton Boat Tours apart is their incredible service. Our captain, Ted was knowledgeable, professional and super friendly. The day with Ted was educational, fun and of course relaxing. No request was overlooked and no question was left unanswered. Ted went out of their way to make us feel welcome. He allowed us to stay a little bit longer in the bay when he saw how much the kids were enjoying it. If you are in the Lake George area, Bolton Boat Tours, inc. is the way to go!

    Easy to find right on Lake Shore Drive (Route 9N).

    If you want to get an up close and personal look at Lake George, this is absolutely 100% the way to go. Bolton Boat Tours is a family run business with a home port at the Treasure Cove Resort on Lake Shore Drive in Diamond Point that is easily accessible in less than 10 minutes from the Village of Lake George all the way up to Bolton Landing. Father and son captains Ted and Tim both will go out of their way to ensure your time with them is customized to the exact activities you want to do in the locations you want to see. We booked a tour with Captain Tim last week, and despite the chilly and overcast conditions, it was the highlight of our vacation. Tim has been navigating Lake George since he was in Elementary School, and his knowledge and love of the lake and its natural inhabitants was infectious. In our two hours together, Tim managed to show us many of the natural highlights that the narrows section of Lake George contain, took us to Paradise Bay and allowed my oldest son to try his hand at some fishing (the weather here was actually a blessing, as we had the entire Bay to ourselves!), took us over to Glen Island at my wife's request to rekindle some childhood memories, and even managed to gently coax my extremely anxious son out on to Super Mable for some tubing, which he absolutely loved. Our only regret was that we only booked for two hours. Bolton Boat Tours is a class operation. The 27' boats they run are well maintained and extremely clean. The bow seating is perfect for taking in the scenery of the Lake, and all of the safety equipment is top notch. Look, I spent 8 years as a Boatswain's Mate in the United States Coast Guard. I am completely comfortable and capable of piloting a small boat on my own. Despite that knowledge and ability, Captain Tim provided my family and I an experience that I would not have been able to recreate. This family's knowledge of the area and love for what they do and where they do it is unmatched. You can't help but stumble into some truly beautiful scenery when you're in the Lake George region, but if you want to see what is truly the best the lake has to offer, you should book a tour with Bolton Boat Tours.

    My family booked a 2 hour tour with Captain Jack, and my kids said it was the most fun that they've…read moreever had! (Me too!!) We had plenty of time to go tubing, cliff jumping, and swimming. Captain Jack tailored the experience to each of my children's "bravery levels" - so he drove the boat at a slower pace when my daughter went on the tube. We had such a great time that we booked him a second time along with a larger group of friends. We had the BEST time - Captain Jack knows where to go, you you're able to maximize your time on the lake knowing you'll be taken care of the entire time. 10/10 recommend!!!!

    This experience was one I will never forget. What a perfect day! We spent 3 hours on a private boat…read morewith Captain Jack and it was absolutely perfect. He started off by taking us out and just cruising along, giving us some facts about the lake and surrounding area. He was so accommodating to our needs and where what wanted to go/what we wanted to do. After some cruising, we went tubing which was so thrilling!! It was awesome! He showed us some local spots to swim and cliff jump where we hung out. Captain Jack is so pleasant to talk to and is so personable. We had a crew mate who got a bit seasick and he knew exactly how to handle the situation to get her back to where she needed to be. He is a true professional. If you're looking for something different to do in Lake George, this is the place to be! One of my favorite days of 2023 so far. Thank you Captain Jack and Boat Tours @ BLR!

    Found this on the internet yesterday…read more Sad and tragic news regarding Tom. ----- Obituary for Thomas P. Jones V November 29, 1987-August 18, 2022 Thomas P. Jones V has sadly passed away on the evening of August 18, 2022, as a result of a motorcycle accident. He died doing something he truly enjoyed. Thomas graduated from South Glens Falls in 2006 and continued on to get an Associate's degree from ACC. After graduating from ACC, he worked at Trustco bank in South Glens Falls for a short time until he realized that he had to follow his dreams. Five years ago, he decided he wanted to open his own business and that is when Devocean Watersports was born. He managed to put together a great team of employees that helped him with boat charters and jet-ski tours on Lake George, out of the hotel "Twin Birches." Thomas loved his business and put everything he had into it. His smile and enthusiasm was infectious to everyone he met along his journey in life. He really enjoyed teaching people how to do things that was out of their norm. Thomas also made many friends down in Marathon within the keys were he went every winter, enjoying life to the fullest. He was predeceased by his father Thomas P. Jones IV. Thomas is survived by his mother Denise Jones, his brother Patrick Jones, his grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bowen and two uncles Christopher and Bob Bowen. Family and friends may call from 10 am to 12 noon on Monday, August 29, 2022 at Regan Denny Stafford Funeral Home, 53 Quaker Rd., Queensbury, NY. Burial will follow at Pine View Cemetery, Queensbury, NY. A celebration of Thomas' life will continue at the Highland Country Club immediately following the burial. Please no suits, wear flip flops and don't forget to bring stickers. https://www.sbfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Thomas-Jones-123/#!/Obituary ------ Tom, May You Rest In Eternal Peace. I always, and I mean ALWAYS, had a great time jet skiing with you every summer since you opened your business in 2017. My most sincere condolences to your family and friends. Until we meet again...

What's more is, I was "that lady" who brought a waterproof phone protector with a neck strap to take pictures with my family and friends. I was also "that lady" who took the neck strap off to avoid tan lines...needless to say, my phone went into the Hudson River without me realizing it! Ethan and his crew were so kind during my personal meltdown, mostly due to me kicking myself for being so careless. They had a group of 80 after us, but assured me they would all look out for it as they had an idea where I dropped it. We called every half hour in the hopes one of the other crews may have discovered the phone, and at 4:50, my husband's phone rang with the amazing news that the phone was found safely! All 3 of our guides looked and I cannot express how grateful I am to them all!! Personal tragedy aside, our entire group said the lazy river was the best part of our trip, and we have already recommended AAC to friends who are traveling to Lake George in the coming weeks!
