Settle onto a comfortable 22' pontoon boat and let your captain steer a private cruise around the lake. You decide the pace, whether you want to swim, visit a lakeside restaurant, or simply relax on deck.
Maximum 9 guests are allowed on board. Glass containers are not permitted. Unruly behavior may incur a cleaning fee. Weather can change quickly; dress appropriately.
Private charter deposits are non-refundable unless the captain cancels the cruise. Weather decisions are made at sail time; if conditions are safe the trip proceeds. If you cancel with less than 30 days' notice or do not show, the full charter amount will be charged.
Visitors consistently rave about the knowledgeable captains here, particularly Captain Hal, Captain Dave, and Captain Jeff, who deliver engaging narrated tours filled with historical facts and local stories about Saratoga Lake. The sunset cruises seem especially popular, with guests praising the beautiful scenery and relaxed atmosphere. Multiple reviewers mention returning for second visits or bringing groups, which speaks volumes about the quality of the experience. The boats accommodate intimate groups of around 20 people or less, and private charters are available for special occasions like birthdays and even weddings. Prices are reasonable compared to other area attractions, making this a solid value. One guest mentioned difficulty reaching the company by phone before their booking, though everything worked out in the end. The captains receive particular praise for being accommodating with mobility issues and flexible with special requests. It's a genuinely relaxing way to explore the lake while learning about the area's history.
This was a very nice cruise on a small boat that was modelled after an original Saratoga Lake tour boat and it was October 10th. Total passenger count was I believe 14 with two of them being young children. Additionally there was the Captain and First Mate. It was a beautiful fall day with calm waters and some fall color but a week or two from peak. The cruise was for 1.5 hours and toured a large portion of the lake though not all as it is quite a large body of water. The captain, Bob, gave narration as the tour progressed on some of the homes original and current owners, hotels, restaurants and campsites that line the shore or are on the islands in the lake.. He also delved into some of the history of the lake and the topography surrounding the lake. All in all it was very much worth the ticket cost and was something both my wife and I truly enjoyed.
