He has always been super responsive to our group, and his knowledge of the area is extensive. We docked at his marina and stayed overnight at Big G's Pub airbnb just up the block. Lynn was super-accommodating. Ten of us descended on his Pub for a late dinner, and despite being short on help at that late hour, Lynn did not disappoint. Wings, burgers, steaks, fries, were all fresh, hot and delicious. Jim at the bar keep our drinks cold and full. We enjoyed the classic rock music and playing pool, but most of all we enjoyed chatting with Lynn and hearing of his exploits and adventures. Two of our ski's broke down on our way to Whitehall, so we left them at a marina on our way up. Lynn called us the next day to see if we were able to pick them up or if we needed help. If you are in the area, stop by for a beer, a bite and a chat with Lynn, absolutely one of the nicest guys we have ever met. (Lynn, if you are reading this, pencil us in again for next summer, we'll be back!)

Very friendly service from the dock workers who clearly know what they're doing. On the plus side, it's a straight line to back your boat into the water. That definitely would make it easy for someone like me who has no dang clue at reversing with a trailer. On the minus side, it's a heck of a steep hill to get your boat onto the trailer and out of the marina. You're going to need all the possible torque to be successful at driving up the hill. At the top, there was a shady spot that made it easy to get all the day's rubbish and coolers out of the boat so it was ready to transport back to the parking. It would have been nice if they had a dumpster or a trash can up there but they don't. We brought the trash with us instead. Fuel's not cheap, so fill up before you get here.

On our first day, they graciously allowed us to drop off our unmotorized kayaks. Inside the bowed workshop slash hanger a seaplane which was someone's pet project. When ask if it was one of the guys, one bark out with a side smirk, "I only fix 'em and there's no way you'd ever see me trying to fly one, so I guess I'd never own one." Behind the Hanger, three tier storage barn, with neatly wrapped boats in storage. Across the main road on an open parcel, guessing 10+ acres, full of other boats similarly wrapped on trailers in storage. The crew was busy prepping as orders arrived for the summer season. We debated a rental if the kayaking began to fizzle - that never happened. They service, store, rent, and sell a mix of water craft.

Overall this place is good and one of the better marinas I've visited on the Lake. The store is…read morewell stocked and had a good mix of food, products, snacks, beer, etc. The staff was pretty friendly. My two biggest complaints are: (1) the price to launch a small human powered boat is too high in my opinion. Just go to the Town Park instead. You can park and launch for free, however you cannot park overnight there if you are island camping. My other gripe (2) is that they have a lakeside grill / food truck which is horrendously overpriced! A kebab and a small dry salmon burger were $24 EACH with no real side, unless you count a single leaf of lettuce. Well, I'll never do that again. What a rip off. It's too bad because it's a cool idea and the place looks cute. I guess it's the whole captive audience thing.

There is also a boat inspection station here to keep your boat and our lake clean. There's probably more that I'm leaving out. Tom & Jeremy (and their staff) run the nicest marina on the lake and we're very lucky to have it in Huletts Landing. Stop by in your boat or car during the summer and you'll be sure to come back.

This place is nothing but a bait and switch! I purchased a Monterey M6 which by the way has been…read moreturning out to be nothing but garbage! Do not buy a Monterey product. They will not warranty anything and utilize more fine print than you can imagine. I was sold this boat with a 7 year bow to stern warranty which I was told covered everything for 7 years. Being new to boating I trusted the Brodies (Owners of Yankee Boating) First they ordered me the wrong boat! Interior wrong, helm wrong, all electronics wrong. Mind you it was delivered begging of boating season so obviously not being happy I didn't want the wrong boat, the deal was I would sign papers on this boat start making payments and use it and they would order the new one for the next year! Next year comes new boat is late and in the body shop for a problem with the decals. Get the boat first couple years are ok little issues become bigger issues but I don't want to be without boat till end of the season so I compile all issues after 4yrs and in October 2024 contact Josh In The service dept and says send me pics I will contact Monterey and we will take care of issues. So after 5 months of no communication I called and he said we haven't heard back I'll call you Monday (3days later) and of course nothing. So 2 weeks later I go in and Charlie who was not very nice either I think because I bothered him on lunch said Josh was on lunch looked it up and said I don't see anything he will call you today I promise.lol Yeah a week and a half later Josh calls me and says all warranty has been declined there is nothing we can do!! Not happy I say have Andrew Brodie call me (the owner). In the mean time I call Monterey and the guy says none of these thing are covered and the 7 year total warranty was nothing what I was sold when I bought the boat! Here are issues. Sea Deck is pulling up everywhere, all of the hinges on everything that opens on the boat are litterally falling apart. Gel coat is cracking everywhere! And the 5k touchscreen helm option is delaminating and coming apart. It clearly says on the bs 7 yr warranty and issues w engine instrumentation is covered. He said well I was the one who declined warranty and Yankee never even sent pictures of the screen! I said well I have them I will send them to you and he would not take them from me said they had to come from dealer. He then asked if it worked I said yes but falling apart and I have to keep it covered so it doesn't get wet and he said well it works so not warranting it. So obviously frustrated I hang up and wait for Andrew Brodie to call me because to this point thought we had a great relationship in me buying a over $100k bought and paying it right off, he will surely take care of this situation. Get the call from him days later and he says well warranty is black and white nothing that we could do!?!? What???? You and your brother told me this 7 yr warranty covered everything!!! He says no not everything then the slime ball salesmen the REAL Andrew Brodie comes out and starts reading all the fine print and picks the warranty claim apart and I say this has been going on for years and when I called service to complain was told compile the problems we will take care of it over winter here we are because all of the fine print warranty has passed. So bottom line in my dealings with Yankee Boating,Monterey, and Andrew Brodie watch out he is that slimy used car salesmen that your parents warned you about when you were a kid selling you a Monterey product that truly is garbage and both him and the manufacturer know it and run the fine print game better than anyone in the business!

I can't say enough great things about FR Smith & Sons Marina in Bolton Landing. From the moment we…read morearrived, it was clear this is a top-notch, family-run operation with deep roots in the Lake George community. A special shoutout goes to David Diehl, whose lifetime of experience and unmatched knowledge of Lake George made our boat buying experience truly exceptional. David's insight into the lake, boating conditions, and what's best for our needs was invaluable. He answered every question with patience and genuine care, and his passion for boating and Lake George shines through in everything he does. Also, huge thanks to Scooter, the Service Manager, who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. He's the kind of guy you want taking care of your boat--knowledgeable, efficient, and incredibly responsive. Knowing our service is in Scooter's hands gives us total peace of mind. If you're looking for a marina that combines expertise, personal service, and a deep love of Lake George, look no further than FR Smith & Sons. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Point Breeze? More like Point Sleaze:…read more If you're considering Point Breeze in Saratoga, NY, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. We ordered a new Bennington L22 in August 2024 with an October delivery date. That date came and went. In January 2025, we were contacted to confirm details--only to find out the boat had "never even been ordered". We were then promised April delivery. That was also missed. What makes this even more concerning is that Bennington later confirmed our original boat had actually been delivered to Point Breeze in late September 2024--directly contradicting what we were told. I'm not sure if this was due to dishonesty, incompetency, or both. When the boat finally arrived in mid-May, things only got worse. During the first test run, water was draining out of both pontoons. A brand-new boat--with cracked welds. Point Breeze claimed the issue was handled, saying repairs were approved by Bennington and replacement pontoons were on the way. That turned out to be false. Bennington had no knowledge of the issue, had not approved repairs, and had not sent any replacements. Nor would they warranty any of the work by Point Breeze. Even after repairs, the boat continued taking on water and listing. We ended up going elsewhere and paying for a quality repair, just to make it usable. Between the missed order, repeated delays, misinformation, and delivering a defective boat, this was easily the worst purchasing experience we've had. The owner, Tom Caringi, lied to us with ease. Bennington was no help either. My advice, don't purchase so much as a life vest at Point Breeze, and for a pontoon, buy a Manitou.
