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!

My wife and I rented a boat from Sunshine Boat rentals on July 26th…read more We booked in advance and asked about the weather. If it rains etc. Luckily we had perfect weather. We arrived a little early and they let us take the boat out before our scheduled time. Steve's son ( don't remember his name) went over the instructions and gave us some bottled waters. I had to purchase ice from a nearby bar. We did return it a little earlier than we were supposed to..... but that was our decision. We rented for 4 hours and we were able to visit multiple locations in the lake that I could only see from the road. This was my 2nd time on the lake and I am not sure why it took me so long to rent a boat. Such a different perspective! Very friendly, and knowledgeable, and we will rent from them again!!

Seneca Lake stretches long and narrow through central New York, its deep blue water framed by…read morerolling hills, vineyards, and small lakeside towns. I found the setting open and expansive, with clear sightlines across the water that changed character depending on the weather and season. The shoreline offered a mix of natural overlooks, parks, marinas, and small developed areas, giving me multiple ways to experience the lake rather than a single central viewpoint. The main highlight for me was the lake itself and the variety of ways to interact with it. The water felt calm and clean in many areas, and the region is especially known for boating, cruising, and lakeside relaxation. Along the surrounding shores, vineyards and wineries are a major part of the identity, and I stopped at a few for tastings with scenic views over the water. The small towns around the lake added to the experience, giving me access to picnic areas, walking paths, and casual waterfront spots where I could take in the lake at a slower pace. The experience around Seneca Lake was generally relaxed and spread out, with no single concentrated entry point or structured route. I took a boat tour from one of the marinas, which gave me a more immersive perspective on the water, and I also pulled over at roadside overlooks and shoreline parks for simpler, quieter moments. Crowds varied by season, with summer being more active and the time I visited feeling much quieter.

OMG we had such a great experience with Captain Chris and Mate Andy on the yellow-topped cycle…read moreboat. Our group of 4 booked at 80 minute tour on July 4th and it was so memorable. The boat seat up to 16 people and the also have a 6-person tiki boat you can rent. SUPER fun and definitely a great activity to do with friends or family in the summer.

Have you ever seen a picture of something (an activity, maybe) and thought, "I seriously wish we…read morehad that here?" It turns out, if you know where to look, you might be able to turn that picture into a reality. Finger Lakes Cycle Boats was that image for me. Upon learning that yes, we did have a cycle boat option in the region, I made plans to check it out, turning images into motion (literally, in the case of those pedals!) Something to take into consideration is that given the season that the boats are in operation, you may be dealing with speedway traffic. If you go to Watkins Glen in the summertime, you need to take into account that there might be a race that day and in that case, trust your GPS. We made it to the dock with seconds to spare and while it worked out okay, it might be a problem on busier days. If you're worried about not being able to pedal, don't be - the boat is motorized. Think of the seats like a spin class, you'll need to adjust to find your correct height. I ended up adjusting the seat a few times and ultimately didn't pedal as much as I thought I would. But if you have a big group and everyone pedals, you won't even need the motor. We went up the lake on a breezy night, going just under halfway through the lake and then back again. Our tour was about an hour and a half ish long, but I bet a longer tour would be seriously fun if it worked out. You can bring your own drinks and snacks and there are options for add ons for parties if you so choose. Chris and Sam, the owners, have a nice setup going and are full of fun facts about the area. FLX is full of history and it's such a nice perspective to see it from within the water. I can't wait to go on another tour when the season permits. And let's be real, this would be an amazing Yelp event waiting to happen. What do you say? See you on the water!

Todd Herbik the owner, his sons and staff really care and always "do what they said they're going do" which is a really rare thing in today's world. It's about time. I wrote a brief review for one of the few businesses that I think is really worth it! Been in Canandaigua's lake for many decades and with Marine Blue the past 12 years. I've been very happy since moving to them. When one gets older, one tends to take the Longview of things or put them in the big picture. I hear good and bad about everybody. I no longer allow one employee, or single action affect my opinion of a business at all. That said Marine Blue has always been there for us. They can be there for you too! These days I usually get a hold of Crystal or Stephanie on the phone almost immediately. They too, are extremely helpful!

Marine blue I bought…read morean engine from Marine Blue and installed it on my new boat. I did all the hooks ups for the remote controls and asked them to: Connect the engine to the smg4 multi-gauge Connect the permanent fuel tank sender to the smg4. Several estimates later they proposed $170 each for the two tasks and added a $250 charge to verify that my remote hookups were correct, because "It's a liability issue for us'(*). I took the engine in on a Wednesday. When I called to check Thursday they said they had identified a warranty issue with the engine: "the pre-ignition engine gas reservoir". They also said they could not hook up the smg4 and had called the manufacturer to discuss. The conclusion was that they had order a new diagnostic cable which arrived Friday but the tech was out. On Monday I spoke to a sales rep twice about status. The first time he said the tech was working on it and he "wasn't gong to interrupt him". The second time he said "we are in negotiations with the manufacturer about warranty and we can't give you any information" So I called the manufacturer. Their advice, after hearing the above litany, was to take the boat out of there and take it to another shop; they gave me three suggested shops. They denied that there had been any discussion about warranty issues Tuesday I spoke to the shop owner who reiterated the warranty claim, I told him the manufacturer had said there had been no communication, except on one call last Thursday where they were asked about how to hook up their diagnostic cable. The owner blamed the oversight on his staff. He then informed me that the tech was busy at work building a "new cable to connect the engine to the smg4." I told him to stop work; the cable he referenced had already been installed by me. I told him the manufacturer had advised me to take the boat to another shop. Marine Blue refused to release the boat until I paid a bill of $1060. The manufacturer offered to pay half the bill. My impression is the Martine Blue is either incompetent and/or dishonest I agree to this solution although I felt like was paying for nothing. When I took the boat to another shop the tech there said he could not see that the original shop had actually done anything, and there was no warranty issue with the engine. He completed the job in a timely manner with a fair charge. He spoke with me afterward about various questions I had in an open and friendly manner (see RS motorsports in Canadaigua- highly recommended). If you are in the need of engine work I would suggest you call you engine's manufacturer and have them recommend a shop they trust. (* the manufacturer said the tasks I had requested were a 15" job. He added that he saw no reason to charge me for the remote cable re-do.")
