Had a great time with my family!  Saw lots of bald eagles, and learned a lot about the history of the area.  The food was good and the bar options were top shelf.  A great way to spend the afternoon!

Lovely local tour. Great staff, with positive attitudes. Wonderful relaxing experience. Tasty mozzarella sticks. Looking forward to another trip in spring.

Our group had a great time. The guide, Ms.Pat Van Alstyne, was very knowledgeable, welcoming and funny. Our lunches from #Saati were delivered on board. The weather cooperated as well. Pat pointed out not only the many historical places, but eagles and falcons on our trip!

We loved this two hour cruise. It was very comfortable and informative and the crew were helpful and friendly. They also have very convenient hours and great views!

What a wonderful boat ride and a a beautiful day. We really enjoyed seeing the eagles and the beautiful foliage. Great narration about the Hudson River.

The captain was knowledgeable and welcoming. We loved the trip on the boat. We got a good vantage point from which to view the Hudson River and we were able to see historic sites like Olana from the boat.

Our cruise was informative and relaxing. The staff was helpful and the scenery was awesome. Many birds were pointed out along the ride, as well as focal points along the Hudson River.

We had a ball! Our crew was wonderful and it was a wonderful day on the river! Highly recommend for a lovely afternoon with friends and family.

Boat tours in Upstate New York: 11 scenic cruises to take this summer

Booking an exotic cruise to a luxurious destination might not be the most convenient or affordable thing for everyone right now, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Luckily, New York State is home to hundreds of beautiful waterways for both locals and tourists to enjoy, so if you’re looking to sightsee on the water, there’s no better way to celebrate the return of warm weather than a scenic tour on a local lake, river or canal.

But while restrictions on masks, social distancing and other safety guidelines are loosening on land this summer, it’s important to be mindful of each boat touring company’s policies regarding Covid-19 before booking your reservation. Check their websites and social media, call ahead or email if you have any questions or concerns.

Here are 11 scenic boat tours and cruises in Upstate New York that you can experience this summer.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Uncle Sam Boat Tours (@unclesamboattours)

Historic Tour with Uncle Sam Boat Tours

Through the heart of the Thousand Islands lies the St. Lawrence River, and there’s no better way to get a glimpse of this historic seaway than by cruise ship. Uncle Sam Boat Tours has been providing scenic cruises through Alexandria Bay for more than 85 years. One of their most popular tours will take you on a 22-mile trip through the St. Lawrence Seaway with an optional stop at Boldt Castle on Heart Island for a self-guided tour.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Spirit Of Buffalo (@spiritofbuffalo)

Sails on the Spirit of Buffalo

For the parents whose kids love heroes like Jack Sparrow or villains like Captain Hook, the Pirate Sail cruise aboard a 73-foot topsail schooner with the Spirit of Buffalo on Lake Erie will make any birthday a swash-buckling adventure they’ll remember forever. Or, for those who prefer to sail and unwind, the sailboat company offers not only a dinner sail from the Pearl Street Grill in Buffalo but also craft beer and wine cruises in both the day and evening, so there’s something for the whole family to enjoy.

The Sam Patch on the Erie Canal

Looking to learn more about one of New York’s most iconic waterways? Climb aboard The Sam Patch , a true replica of an 1800s covered packet boat, to take a ride down the Erie Canal as it was meant to be traveled. Starting in the village of Pittsford near Rochester, this 90-minute journey runs from late May to the end of October and is perfect for families, students or history buffs ready to go back in time.

The Canandaigua Lady

The Canandaigua Lady is a cruise boat that takes visitors down Canandaigua Lake from Lakefront Park.

The Canandaigua Lady

Another blast from the past you might see on Canandaigua Lake this summer is The Canandaigua Lady , a 19th-century steamboat replica with an authentic double-decker paddle wheel. This Americana-themed vessel with heating and air conditioning can give passengers incredible views of the Canandaigua shoreline from its upper and lower decks while enjoying lunch or dinner.

Lac du Saint Sacrement

The idea of Lac du Saint Sacrement, or “The Lake of the Blessed Sacrament,” came into being in the 1970s when demand began to grow for entertainment directly on the lake. SYR

Famous Steamboats with Lake George Steamboat Company

Do you need multiple steamboat cruise options in your life? How about three, all on one lake? The Lake George Steamboat Company can offer passengers multiple different tour options on three different historic steamboats — the Minnie Ha-Ha, one of the last remaining paddle wheel steamboats in America, the Mohican, the oldest operating tour boat in America, and the 190-foot-long Lac du Saint Sacrement, the largest cruise ship on the inland waters of New York State. Whether it’s dinner with a loved one on the water or a pirate adventure cruise for the kids, there’s a cruise for everyone on Lake George .

Syracuse Chiefs vs. Lehigh Valley IronPigs

Mid-Lakes Navigation's tour boat on Skaneateles Lake, Skaneateles, NY, Friday July 6, 2018. Scott Schild | [email protected] Scott Schild | sschild@syracuse.

Cruises and Mail Boats with Mid-Lakes Navigation

Explore one of the Finger Lakes by boat in the village of Skaneateles , where Mid-Lakes Navigation has been in the tour boat industry for more than 50 years. It harbors three main vessels — the Judge Ben Wiles for sightseeing, cocktail and moonlight dinner cruises for every special occasion, the Stephanie, a smaller 27-foot 1946 mahogany boat, for private tours and featured in the annual Skaneateles Antique Boat Show , and the Barbara S. Wiles, one of the last remaining U.S. mail boats still in operation in the country, so anyone can help the crew deliver mail to lakeside camps starting as early as July.

Cruises on the Dutch Apple

If you’re looking for a luxurious ride down the Hudson River in the state’s capital region, look no further than Dutch Apple Cruises . This three-deck touring boat was built in 1986 but designed after early Hudson River day-liners, when millions of passengers would travel from Albany to New York City by boat from the 1860s to the 1940s. The cruise line offers public and private tours for special occasions and holidays.

Captain Bill’s Cruises on Seneca Lake

Captain Bill’s Cruises on Seneca Lake

The Seneca Harbor Station is a popular tourist destination along the lake in Watkins Glen for a classic waterfront restaurant meal or beautiful wedding venue, but a cruise with Captain Bill’s might be hard to pass up. Rich in history and family-owned and operated, passengers can choose between boarding the Seneca Legacy, a 270-passenger dining boat, or the Stroller IV, a 50-foot mahogany vessel, for scenic and educational tours of Seneca Lake .

Fine Dining and Fun on the W.W. Durant

Raquette Lake is tucked away in the town of Long Lake in Hamilton County, but Raquette Lake Navigation has been riding the waves and giving thousands of bout tours as a family-owned business since 1974. While aboard the W.W. Durant, it’s known for its special dinner cruises. You can have a traditional lunch or dinner, or if you’re feeling adventurous, book a Sunday brunch, pizza or prime rib dinner cruise with occasional live music and special events throughout the season.

Boat tours on Lake Placid

The tours take visitors around the perimeter of Lake Placid, in an enclosed pontoon boat.

Pontoons on Lake Placid

When you’re visiting the Adirondacks , sometimes it’s about enjoying the simple things in life, like a boat on the water. Lake Placid Marina and Boat Tours will give passengers just that — a simple, hour-long ride via pontoon boat 16 miles down Lake Placid with scenic views of Adirondack wildlife, beautiful alpine manors and the very base of Whiteface Mountain .

Maid of the Mist

The Maid of the Mist tour boat at Niagara Falls, NY.

The Maid of the Mist

When you ride the Maid of the Mist for the first time, you’ll never forget the feeling of cold wind on your face and freezing water all over your clothes, even with your plastic parka. A trip to western New York isn’t complete without a visit to Niagara Falls , and you won’t get any closer than on this iconic boat ride.
