"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!"
My friends and I rented a pontoon boat during labor day and it was the highlight of our trip! The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, and did everything to make sure we had a great day on the water. The boat was in fantastic condition and we had no issues operating it, and we also got to take a big tube to drag from the pontoon. 10/10 weekend and highly recommend!

"We had a beautiful 2hour tour on Lake George. Our tour guide, Scott, provided interesting and fun information about homes on the lake, the many islands, some of the history including famous residents and even his own fond memories of island camping with his family. It was a lovely autumn afternoon and my friends and I enjoyed the tour very much. We highly recommend you consider F.R.Smith & Sons."

"We had a perfect day on the lake thanks to FR Smith and Sons Marina!!! Scott and Grayson were extremely friendly and helpful through the whole rental process. The pontoon boat that we rented was comfortable, clean, and reliable. We will definitely be coming back anytime we want to rent a boat on Lake George."

"My family has been using FR Smith for service and storage of their boat for as long as I can remember. Recently I had the pleasure of joining my parents on a test drive for a potential new boat. Dave was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave my parents space when they needed to chat and was engaging with my kids when my parents wanted my feedback. There is nothing better than supporting a local business. The friendly faces we see at FR Smiths keeps us coming back even if it’s across the lake just for some gas. I am very grateful that Dave helped my parents find the perfect new boat for our family!"
