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!

The staff was extremely rude and abrasive. One of my dock hands almost pushed my daughter off the dock while checking the fuel level. We returned early due to the boat being so outdated/could not keep up with the lake. Two days later we received a $1500 CC surcharge for a 1.5 inch tear in the seat. It should be noted, the staff checked the boat prior to our departure. Owner is extremely unreasonable and incompetent. Refuses to return phone calls. Go at your own risk.

For many, many years, and we will keep coming back. Because the staff are professional. Good good people. Every year there are new improvements. That benefit the boater and customer... A vacation spent at Bolton landing and on crystal clear lake, George. Well, it is a place you will just keep coming back. Your children will come. Your grandchildren will come, this is a great Marina with great people. And if I may say, great customers as well, peace and safe boating, Raymond

25 years of patronizing this marina. Today, I'm evicted from…read morethis establishment because a young staffer lied and said I cursed at her! I DID NOT! I did however say "she didn't know what she was doing" SHE LIED AND TOLD THE OWNER I CURSED AT HER AND HAD HER YOUNG FRIEND BACK THAT LIE UP!! The fact is she is physically incapable of re-trailering a vessel. And not careful. The truth hurts but she had already twice caused damage to our brand new jet skis. Neither time did I complain in spite of it costing me $1400.00 in repairs. The morale of the staff here has gotten progressively worse too. Staffers barking at customers and even sniping each other behind their backs. All of this, after being very cooperative and making sure to tip the staffers who actually were a big help to us. The management needs to take a closer look at how chaotic their methods have become. Another marina said it perfectly. "Sadly, it's time for a chance. Peace, from a long and loyal former customer.

We called and asked about it because there was a huge line for gas. They didn't care. They would have charged us double if we didn't bring it back filled up. Not very fair when we paid for 4 hours of boat time. There's also a very dangerous hill down to the boat. There are many other boat rentals on lake George. I wouldn't recommend this one!

Safety Warning - Unsafe Boat Rental in NY Rented a pontoon…read moreboat for 3 days and it was unsafe from the start: mold, ants, broken gas gauge, depth finder, and radio. The horn didn't work - a direct violation of NYS boating law requiring a working sound device. On day two, one pontoon started taking on water from what appeared to be a failed weld. We returned it immediately, and there were no scratches, dents, or any visible damage--yet the company still blamed us for repairs right after we complained about the unsafe condition. This vessel was not seaworthy and violated safety regulations. Avoid this rental company.

From start to finish my boat buying process with Boats by George was seamless. I'm a firm believer…read morethat people make the brand when it comes to sales and buying; working with Andrew was straight forward, no pressure and fun - exactly how purchasing should be. Boats by George covered all the details, left no surprises and had great hands on experience. They ensured I received the best deal possible and executed the entire process so efficiently. Will be returning for all of my boating needs in the future. Thank You!

Accommodating and well sized place. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We rented…read morethe whole place. It is divided up uniquely with a one bedroom that attaches to two other possible bedrooms (one is more of a shared space), and another two bedroom. The owners live upstairs and across the road, there are folks who rent the little rooms by the water, on top of that it is a working marina so if you are looking for privacy this isn't the place for you. However for lake access and being right next to Bolton landing which is less cheesy and a lot more quaint than Lake George this is a great spot. I'd definitely recommend and visit again.

We reserved for the day a ten-person capacity pontoon boat at Chic's Marina a few weeks prior to…read moreour visit to Lake George. When we arrived, we found parking to be a challenge. Marina was busy since we visited in the busy summer months. The staff were truly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The boats from what I can tell in excellent working conditions and prices are reasonable for a popular resort town. Since we were staying at the Sagamore Resort, if anyone of our group was motion sick, we could easily drop them off. We had a full day of fun which included tubing, swimming, and lakeside restaurant dining. A message to others that rent a boat from Chric's Marina. Be sure that your area is attentive to all the contractual commitments before signing. We were uncertain about the weather before, the day of our rental since it was raining slightly. But fortunately, it was the best day of the week. Canceling for rainy weather may not be an option.

My family reserved a boat with a captain last week. The online form was extremely easy to fill out…read moreand I was contacted within minutes that my reservation was confirmed. When we got there, they had paperwork ready for us to fill out which was quick and effectively. Dan was our captain and he was wonderful. He was knowledgeable about where to go and things to do, but kept asking us what we wanted and he was happy to accommodate. The boat was beautiful and clean. I brought my 2 year old son and 3 month old daughter and Dan checked both life jackets to make sure they were coast guard approved, and had a new one for my son since his wasn't. I love that he prioritized their safety! My family and I have been going to Lake George forever and have used Chics many times - with and without a captain. They are a friendly and effecient business and I highly recommend them! Thank you again, Dan!
