To Barb and Frank:…read more The day meant so much to me. A special thank you to my wife who arranged my sailing excursion with you on "Crazy Love"; she is such a beautiful yacht. My wife and I are also lucky enough to have four other friends join us to celebrate my 62nd birthday. It was certainly a day I will remember and treasure for a very long time. The smiles and laughter from everybody was truly a gift. From one sailor to another, thank you. Norm

What an amazing time! My wife and I were able to book a 10AM sail for our anniversary and we had…read moresuch a perfect day. Barb and Frank are so easygoing and friendly and they made this such an outstanding experience. They gave us an opportunity to steer the boat and pointed out some interesting landmarks. They were extremely approachable and available for interesting conversation while also fully allowing for us to enjoy our experience together. We will definitely be back!

Stay away!!!! We pulled in for gas and was met by what we…read morethought was a jolly fellow. I should have known by the first question he asked. "Where are you from" he handed me the nozzle and I pumped the tank full of gas. I asked how much do I owe you. $7 per gallon!!!!!' I told him he was higher priced than the Long Island Sound and he claimed it was only a few cents over his cost. Yes right. I sucked it up and paid because I should have asked first. Go to Barrett's or Inland Marina they are about $4.70 per. What a rip off. Something tells me he has one price for locals and one for out of towners. There was no price listed on the pump which I'm sure is a violation.

I was hesitant to rent after seeing the first review but decided to anyway because other rentals in…read morethe area were sold out. I made sure to do my due diligence by checking the condition of the pontoon before getting on. The experience was very smooth. Bob showed us how to use the controls and navigate into the water. The boat itself was also beautiful (only one year's old!). My family and I did a half day rental and had plenty of time on the water. I fully recommend this experience to families and groups looking to relax on Seneca Lake!

Set sail for True Love, a truly enjoyable time!…read more Bottom Line Up Front: We had a wonderful, relaxing, and fun time for a good price. The Good: The history of the John Alden designed schooner is worth reading before you go. We had some more "salty" members of our group that recognized the name of the schooner from the 1956 movie "High Society" starring Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra and after that we were on board for a wonderful time. We even were seated in the seats once occupied by Gene and Bing. We purchased our tickets after being approached by Terry who negotiated a decent price with us because he wanted a full boat for the next trip. Captain Bill was an experienced Captain and is well known in the area. He got us underway and was a delightful host regaling us with stories about the "True Love", Seneca Lake and surroundings, as well as, some stories about racing the "True Love" and his crew, Spencer and Marena. Captain Bill even assisted another sailing boat that was in distress and precariously close to the lake edge. The trip was two hours long and on time. The crew served non-alcoholic and adult beverages (some free, some for a price) while underway and also sold some souvenirs (Whisky and glasses). The Bad: There was nothing bad, from start to finish, this was a very enjoyable trip and the crew definitely enjoyed sharing their love of the "Trie Love" with the joyful passengers. The Ugly: Absolutely nothing other than we could not be out for longer. If you find yourself in Watkins Glen, this is definitely an enjoyable to kick back, relax, and let the wind fill your sails. They say a picture is worth 1000 words, so I am going to end my post with a few that we snapped along the way. May you have fair winds, and following lake waters!

Used Crush for a bachelor party trip awhile back. We had the bus to ourselves, so was largely able…read moreto do what we wanted which was nice. Hit wineries, a distillery and a brewery which was nice. Driver (Darryl) was a very nice guy even if he forgot my name and started calling me 'Steve' halfway through. That was pretty funny for the guys even if it was at my expense. Bus had plenty of room too, and we stayed on schedule without it being overbearing or annoying. Price point was fair given this was a 1/2 day tour with food/alcohol included. Brewery and distillery options couldn't have been better. Wagner brewing makes one of the best examples of hefeweizens I've had anywhere. Really great tap room overlooking the lake as well. Got a cheese plate there which was packed like shit in to-go containers, which belied the really good array of cheese, meat and accoutrements it included. Finger Lakes distilling was shockingly good. Their repertoire of whiskeys, including aged options, different styles (ie: pot stilled, applejack) and experiment stuff (cannoli whiskey) was superb. Had whiskey infused cigars here too which were awesome. I bought a shit ton of stuff from their. Surprisingly, I wasn't as thrilled with the wineries. Zugibe was respectable but paled to others nearby like Thirsty Owl; what threw me off was that the reds were much better than the whites there. Food there was gyros, which was odd but oddly good at least. Belhurst was probably the worst single winery I've ever been to, with the worst wine I've tried. Wine had a soapy taste and was cloyingly sweet. Bartender was snotty, rattled off some canned crap she memorized that was largely irrelevant, and didn't really know anything about wine. Place was largely a freaking gift shop, so no clue why they thought this was a good addition. Would use these guys again as Darryl was a sweetheart, and maybe just direct them a bit more in terms of what we're looking for. I am 100% fine with the emphasis being on beer/liquor, however the groom-to-be was more of a wine person in this case. Very workable either way.
