There's a certain kind of perfect day on Lake George — the one where you're not watching the depth finder, not squinting for the danger bouys, not docking the boat with everyone holding their breath. You're just there. Drink in hand, feet up, taking in the Adirondacks the way they were meant to be seen. That's the day our captained cruises were built for.
You relax. We navigate.
At F.R. Smith & Sons, we've been reading this lake since 1921. Our professional captains know every cove, every island, every quiet stretch where the water goes glassy at golden hour — and every spot worth pointing the bow toward. When you step aboard, the only thing on your to-do list is enjoying yourself.
No boater's license. No navigation. No docking. Just a beautiful boat, a captain who knows Lake George by heart, and hours of open water ahead of you.
Ride in style aboard our 28' Sea Ray SLX
Your cruise comes courtesy of our 28' Sea Ray SLX — roomy, comfortable, and built for exactly this kind of day. Whether it's two of you watching the sunset or the whole family spread out across the bow, there's plenty of space to settle in and make a few memories.
Pick your kind of day
Every cruise is yours to shape. A few of the ways folks like to spend their time on the water with us:
- Sunset cruises. Adirondack sunsets are one of Lake George's most magical sights — and there's no better seat in the house than out on the water as the sky turns.
- Dining excursions. Cruise to one of the lake's waterfront restaurants for lunch or dinner. We'll dock while you dine, then take the long way home.
- Special celebrations. Birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, a proposal you've been planning for months — or no reason at all. Some moments are just better on the water.
- Real estate tours. Eyeing a Lake George waterfront property? See the homes and estates from the perspective that matters most — the lake itself.
- Tubing. Bring the kids (or the kids at heart). Our captain will pull you around the lake while you hang on and laugh.
