FYI: DO NOT GET THIS PLACE CONFUSED WITH PADDLE-N-MORE! (I almost made the mistake of confusing…read morethem as the same business) Super easy/smooth process, with great friendly service. I booked my reservation online for 12:30PM for a 2-person/tandem kayak. My friend and I signed the waivers online ahead of time to save paper and time. On the day of my reservation, we were running a bit late and called a few hours before to ask if they could push our reservation to 1:00PM--they said no problem. When we got there, we went into the main office and found out that they have canoes, so we asked if we could change it and it turned out to be the same price as the tandem kayak so they switched it with no problem. The process from check-in to getting on the water was about 10 minutes (there was no one else there docking at the moment). The staff was very friendly and nice, knew what they were doing and clear in their explanations. If you want to paddle to Cayuga Lake, I recommend doing 4-hours so you don't have to haul ass back and forth in 2 hours, which is what we booked. We hit Cayuga Lake in about 35 minutes (non-stop paddling) and had some time to explore along Stewart Park, but that's all we ended up having time for before having to head back to the paddle dock.

Polite staff. Helpful and well informed. The view out on the water was beautiful Plenty of kayak…read morerentals to choose from in the area but I'm glad we chose PaddleDockers

Our tour guide was very sweet and made sure we were all comfortable during the two hour ride. They also have Eco tours, which we could definitely tell she was into. A smaller lake close by was closed off completely due to a deadly algae, which she then collected algae from the lake and took the sample under a microscope and invited anyone to come check it out. Her interest made it that much more personable and I enjoyed it. Not the bad algae though, obviously. She even offered to take pictures for us. The sunset was beautiful and on the way back we saw some water falls. Something to consider before booking. The difference between this sunset cruise and the Charter sunset cruise is because it is more private with 6 passengers per tour at a higher rate and starts at 6:30pm-8:30pm with daily cruises available, whereas Ithaca boat tours allows up to 24 people starting at 7:30pm-9:30pm with cruises only on Friday/Saturday. We didn't mind if there was going to be more people on board, but there were only about 8 of us on the boat that night anyway. I also like that it starts at a later time so we could relax and get a nice meal beforehand. I would recommend this tour. Don't forget it's BYOB! Have fun!

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!
