Read on for a quick guide to boating activities, then come shop with us in Bolton Landing, NY! We welcome customers from Albany, Saratoga, and beyond.


Fishing Adventures

Fishing from a boat opens up a world of possibilities that shore fishing simply can't match. With a boat, you can access deeper waters where larger fish are found, and you can easily move to different fishing spots throughout the day. When equipped with the latest fish-finding technology, boats can significantly increase your chances of a successful catch.


Underwater Exploration

Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving become even more thrilling when you have a boat. Boats provide easy access to secluded spots and pristine waters that are perfect for underwater exploration. They offer a convenient base for storing gear and taking breaks between dives. Whether you're snorkeling in shallow waters or diving deep, a boat can enhance your aquatic adventures by providing mobility and comfort.


Watersports Fun

Waterskiing, wakeboarding, and tubing are exhilarating activities that require a boat. Boats designed for watersports come equipped with powerful engines and specialized tow points to ensure a smooth and exciting ride. These boats create the perfect wake for tricks and jumps, making the experience both thrilling and safe.


Pleasure Cruising

Cruising on a boat offers a serene escape from daily life. Boats designed for pleasure cruising come with comfortable seating, ample storage, and often, luxurious amenities. They provide the perfect setting for enjoying the natural beauty of the water and the surrounding landscapes.


Entertaining Guests

Entertaining on a boat offers a unique and memorable experience for guests. Boats provide a cozy yet spacious environment ideal for social gatherings, from casual get-togethers to special celebrations. With features like onboard kitchens, sound systems, and comfortable seating, boats make it easy to host an unforgettable event on the water.
